• Auto trans ignition-park interlock investigation # EA03011

  The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler¿s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).The population number includes all mys.The precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.The fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.Odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).There are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi¿s database, and dc has received no reports either.The prowler is excluded from the recall scope.The investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.The interlock system is required under fmvss 114.With the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.When this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.Under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator¿s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.Beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.Introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.The rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

Visible white smoke coming from engine compartment. Damaged power steering pressure line was found after diagnostic care was provided. Checked for other known issues, found recall # 06v001000 describing my exact issue and falling under similar model of car, however my car "does not qualify for that recall" and all recalls have been completed on the vehicle.

On 11/22/2017 a fire originated in the drivers side dashboard resulting in the vehicle burning to a total loss of the vehicle. Was towed and kept by the tow truck operator after we relinquished the title.

I have a difficult time turning wheel to the left and like a "clicking noise" anad feel when i am turning to the right. We just did front end alignment, outer tie rods and brake system. Not sure what the problem can be.

Tl* the contact owns a 1998 plymouth breeze. The contact stated that the rear seat belts do not lock and would not retract properly. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 216,000.

Towards the end of july 2014, the front end started making crunching noises when driving at low speeds, turning and or coming to a stop. I also noticed play in the steering. When i took the car for its oil change on august 19, 2014, the shop informed me that the tie rods were loose and both outer tie rods needed to be replaced. This was done on september 25, 2014, at a cost of $511.70, which included a wheel alignment. At that time the shop recommended i replace my brakes which i did on october 31, 2014. The shop suggested that i get another wheel alignment. I still have the crunch and don't know why. Please help., ps: i am the original owner of the car having purchased it new at tufano motors in new britain, ct. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1998 plymouth breeze. The contact was driving 1 mph when the vehicle started to smoke from the driver side door panel before catching fire.

The failure and the current mileage was unknown.

Tl* the contact owns a 1998 plymouth breeze. The contact stated the vehicle was parked when he noticed a large amount of oil leaking from the engine. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that one of the head gaskets was blown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were 79,000.

I have noticed that a white smoke has been coming from under the hood, noticeably when the car is turned off, or when i am stopped. I have looked under the hood, and it seems to be coming from behind the engine, on the drivers side. I did replace the valve cover casket, and i thought that was the issue, and cleaned the engine. However, it is still occurring... I notice saturation on the two lines running behind the engines, but not sure if it a crack in the cylinder head. However, i am not loosing oil nor antifreeze. Also, they are not mixing in the engine. It is just happening there. I did find on forums and on nhtsa that there was a recall for the 1999-2000 model year for the stratus/breeze/cirrus with a 2.4 ltr engine, and that it is most likely the high pressure return line for the power steering. I have not yet checked the fluid level in the p/s. I have heard that other cars have caught fire, and that p/s fluid is highly flammable... I called daimlerchrysler and they said that with my vin its not covered under said recall, and the 2 recalls on the car have already been addressed. 1998 plymouth breeze, base sdn 2.4l 4cyl engine vin: [xxx] owner(self): [xxx] please note what i've found: nhtsa campaign id number: 06v001000 nhtsa action number: pe05036 summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.4 liter engines, the high pressure power steering hose may prematurely heat age and develop a leak. Also, found on http://www.Arfc.Org/complaints/1998/plymouth/breeze/10228283.Aspx smoke coming from engine compartment. Source of smoke determined to be from power steering fluid leaking from high pressure hose onto exhaust manifold. Defect has been identified in nhtsa action no. Pe05036 for this model of car (1998 plymouth breeze, 2.4l engine), however, the resulting recall (06v001000) did not include this year model. The recall should be expanded to additional year models identified in nhtsa action no. Pe05036 or the manufacturer.... Information redacted pursuant to the freedo

I have a 1998 plymouth breeze with a 2.0 liter motor. I have only 6000 miles on this vehicle because i drive very little with it. I am 81 years old and dont do much driving any more. I recently found motor oil in my water inside my radiator. *tr i was told by a chrysler dealership that my head gasket was blown. They told me that any motor between 1995-2005 had defective head gaskets and that chrysler corporation had corrected the problem by introducing a new revised version on the head gasket ...Thicker, more durable! Anyway the dealership new about it as did many persons on the internet that owned these vehicles from the years that i specified. So i called chrysler corporation and tyler asked me for the vin number to my vehicle and told me that i had 2 recalls on it but they knew nothing of a defective head gasket problem with the years i specified and would not opt to fix it for me or anyone else for that fact. So i am reporting chrysler corporation for their lack of honesty and customer support since we baled them out of a bad finacial situation and now look at them. All i can say is that the bail out was not worth it. We should have let them go under!
