Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Defective head gasket on 1999 plymouth breeze with 39,387 miles. vehicle was purchased 4/11/02. when i took the car in for the first oil change, i was informed the head gasket was leaking and it was recommended i take it back to the dealer for replacement. however, the dealer told me the warranty was good for 3 years or 36,000 miles and their only offer was to replace it for $630. i declined, preferring to take it to someone i trust. i have since learned of at least two other plymouth/dodge owners that had their head gaskets replaced at less than 60,000 miles. daimler chrysler needs to address this issue in a manner other than charging the owner to replace a defective part. *jb
