Replaced engine head gasket, was informed that this is common on vehicles with aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. Vehicle does not even have 20,000 miles on it. This will probably happen again and again, was told by service tech that there is no guarantee because of the materials used.

This size engine has an oil leak at rear of head. I've noticed this on neons as well. This can cause an engine fire as oil is exiting near the exhaust.

Cylinder head gaskets on Plymouth Breezes, Dodge stratus, and crysler cirrus are failing. I live in a small town of 600 people 4 people who own these types of vehiles have experienced the same problem. When teds reapired it they had to back order because they have had to replace so many and the ones that they are replaceing them with are updated. I informed crysler and they said to file a complaint with you.
