What is the engine life expectancy on Plymouth Breeze?

Answer 1

My '98 Purple People Eater Plymouth Breeze currently has 171,000 miles and has been very reliable since purchasing as a used government vehicle in 2001. It has needed

• Head Gasket Replaced by Government when purchased.
• Replaced the Timing Belt Twice for Preventive Maintenance (old ones still looked good)
• Replaced Original Battery at Ten Years Old, amazing! I've never had a battery last that long.
• Tires Replaced.
• Brakes Replaced twice.
• Belts and Hoses Replaced.
• Regular Oil and Filter changes.
• Fluid levels checked with Gas Fill-ups.
• More or less follow Maintenance suggested in Owner's Manual.
• Flushed and Filled Coolant; Changed Transmission Fluid and Filter.
• Changed Spark Plugs once or twice (old ones still looked pretty good).

Most of this is routine Maintenance with parts one would normally expect to wear out. Some, such as the Timing Belts may not have needed replacing, but I didn't want to wait for them to Break. Great Car, the most reliable vehicle I've ever had, I love it! I hope to get well over 200,000 miles with it!

We have a 1996 Breeze with 175,000 miles on it. Repairs in the past 3 years have included 2 timing belts, water pump, both oxygen sensors, and other non engine repairs such as 2 fuel pumps, wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends, etc.

My girlfriend's Breeze had a head gasket replaced at around 44K miles, and another one at 75K. The car is at around 80K now and needs a new transmission. Sad thing is she drives it like an old woman. Throughout the life of the car we've had to replace numerous electrical sensors and components, including the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) a few times.

If you're looking for a reliable car, a Breeze/Stratus/Cirrus/Neon/Sebring are about as far as you'll get from it. We're currently selling the car to buy her a Civic as a replacement.
