Good evening, I wanted to obtain more information about the class action suit against chrysler. I have a 97 plymouth breeze that has had a head and a transmission replaced at 2 separate times. The head was replaced because of head gasket and the transmission after if overheated on highway use (5, 2003), got stuck 200+ miles away from home.
