UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 PT CRUISER WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER IN A WALMART PARKING LOT. HER CAR WAS STRUCK ON THE LEFT FRONT BUMPER FROM A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. NEITHER VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 15 MPH. THE IMPACT KNOCKED THE FRONT BUMPER LOOSE, PUSHED IN THE GRILL, AND BUCKLED THE HOOD SLIGHTLY ON THE PT CRUISER. IT DID NOT CATCH THE FENDER AS THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT LENS ASSEMBLY WAS NOT BROKEN. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THE IMPACT, MY DAUGHTER SIGHTED FLAMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WERE VISIBLE UNDERNEATH THE BUCKLED HOOD. SHE AND HER PASSENGER IMMEDIATELY GATHERED THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND EXITED THE CAR. BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND THE OTHER DRIVER CALLED 911 BUT EVEN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT 300 YARDS AWAY, THE FIRE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A $1500 BUMPER REPLACEMENT AND BODY SHOP JOB RESULTED IN A TOTALED VEHICLE DUE TO THE FIRE. THE POLICE DID NOT CITE EITHER DRIVER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
FOG LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP IN EL SEGUNDO, CA FOR REPAIR ON 03/29/06 WAS TOLD IT WAS AN INTERNAL SWITCH AND REPAIRED FOR $86.58. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED. THEN IN 2008 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT INTO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN W. LOS ANGELES, CA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN SO IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $340. NOW ON EASTER (04/04/10) ON MY WAY TO A BBQ TO MY PARENTS HOME, THE FOG LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN ...AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT CAUSED ME TO PANIC BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WHILE I WAS JUST GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS NOT TO FAR FROM MY PARENTS HOME WHERE MY BROTHER WHO WAS FORMALLY A MECHANIC HAD THE MIND TO PULL OUT THE FUSE TO THE FOG LIGHTS. THE FUSE WAS VERY HOT WHEN HE PULLED IT OUT AND THE SMOKING STOPPED. HE DID STATE THAT THE CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE IF HE HAD NOT PULLED THE FUSE OUT IN TIME. I WAS LUCKY. I DO HAVE THE OLD PART AVAILABLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT IN DRIVABLE CONDITION AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER WITH ANY OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,060.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER AND ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER FEELING A BAD VIBRATION FOR A WEEK OR SO AND NOISES WHEN MAKING TURNS, I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO WHERE I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON THINKING THEY HAD DEFECTIVE DETAILS TO THEM. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE FRONT BEARINGS ARE BAD ALREADY. THINKING TO MYSELF THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THIS EARLY OF MILEAGE, I STARTED LOOKING INTO TRYING TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF AS THE COSTS EVERYWHERE FOR THIS REPAIR IS TOO MUCH FOR OUR FAMILY TO BEAR RIGHT NOW. IN LOOKING FOR THE DIAGRAMS FOR THE FRONT END, I CAME ACROSS THIS FORUM WITH 155 POSTS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL CAR FROM 2001 TO CURRENT MODELS, INCLUDING ONE POST OF A LADY WHO LOST HER SON IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS FAULTY PART/ASSEMBLY. I TRUELY BELIEVE THIS WARRANTS FURTHER REVIEW AS IT SEEMS WITH SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUE (AND THIS IS ONLY WHAT HAD BEEN POSTED, NOT INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS ISSUE AND JUST KEEP PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OVER AND OVER) IT MAKES ME QUESTION THE QUALITY OF CHRYSLER PT'S FOR SURE. PLEASE REVIEW THIS AS IT MAY SAVE SOMEONE'S (INCLUDING MY OWN) LIFE. WEBSITE FOR POSTS FOR YOUR REFERENCE IS HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHRYSLER-PT-CRUISER/TIL09OD8D72ERULQA/P4

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2009 PT CRUISER, I HAVE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL, TO FIND THAT IT HAS SURGED AND CAUSED THE CAR TO SPEED UP WITH OUT WARNING. I THOUGHT IT WAS ME UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT USED IT SINCE. IT DID NOT WANT TO DISENGAGE AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES REALLY HARD AND HOLD THEM DOWN TO GET THE CAR TO RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. CONTACTED DEALER TO ASK IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS, WAS TOLD I MUST BE DRIVING A TOYOTA? DID NOT FIND THAT HUMOROUS, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I DO SEE THAT THEY HAD AN ISSUE IN THE 2001 MODELS FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM REPORTING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT OIL LEAK. SHE CHECKED THE ENGINE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF OIL INSIDE OF IT. LATER THAT EVENING, THE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN SHE CHECKED THE ENGINE, THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE STICK AT ALL. THE NEXT MORNING, SHE PUT FOUR QUARTS OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. BEFORE LEAVING WORK, SHE PUT TWO MORE QUARTS IN THE VEHICLE AS IT SHOWED THAT SHE WAS TWO QUARTS LOW. BY THE TIME SHE REACHED HOME, THE OIL LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. SHE PUT FOUR QUARTS OF OIL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. THE MECHANIC TOLD HER THAT CAM SEAL FAILED AND POSSIBLY CAUSED THE OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHEN THE MECHANIC RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, ALL OF THE OIL LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE MECHANIC THEN CALLED HER TO SAY THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE ENGINE PUMP. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO INSTRUCT THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE THRUST BEARINGS. THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE THRUST BEARINGS WERE DEFECTIVE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL HER IN 24 TO 48 HOURS (SHE WAS CURRENTLY AWAITING A RESPONSE). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) MALFUNCTION ON THE HEADLIGHT/FOGLIGHT MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ON A CHRYSLER PT CRUISER 2005, [XXX] (EXPORT VEHICLE, RUNS IN BRAZI). IT STARTED UNWITTINGLY TURNING ON THE FOGLIGHTS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IGNITION WAS OFF, IT LEAD TO DRAIN CAR BATTERIES AND FOR ME TO THINK AT FIRST THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY BATTERY, SINCE WHEN I SAW THE CAR THE FOGLIGHTS WERE OFF BECAUSE IT DRAINED THE POWER. THEN, AFTER A HOT DAY I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A RAINY AND DANGEROUS HIGHWAY AND MY FOGLIGHTS WENT OFF AND I FELT A SMELL OF BURN CABLE AND SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR, SO I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OFTHE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND GOT REALLY SCARED. AFTER SO MANY DAYS AND SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY DRAIN HAD TO DO WITH THE FOGLIGHTS SWITCH. I TOOK ALMOST 6 MONTHS TO DISCOVER IT AND SO MY FOGLIGHTS REFLECTOR STARTED TO MELT AND LOOSE THERE FLEXIBILITY. I WENT TO CHRYSLER DEALERS IN BRAZIL AND THEY SAID THEY CANT DO NOTHING FOR ME SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY. THE THING IS, THERE IS MORE THAN 550 COMPLAINTS (AND COUNTING) ON A WEBSITE EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT THE MANY DANGEROUS POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES. AND 95% OF THE CARS IN THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE. NOW I ACTUALLY RUN WITH THE CAR WITHOUT THE FUSE RESPONSIBLE TO FOGLIGHTS. IT COST ME A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND 2 DAMAGED FOGLIGHT REFLECTORS AND THE OBLIGATION OF RUNNING WITHOUT FOGLIGHTS ON HIGHWAYS. (THAT ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE PROPER ILLUMINATION!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2005 PT CRUISER CONVERTIBLE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST YEAR WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH LOCATED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AS THE SWITCH IS BROKEN AND SOMETIMES THERE IS VISIBLE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE COLUMN FOLLOWED BY THE STENCH OF BURNING RUBBER. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. THE FOLLOWING LINK IS A WEBPAGE DEVOTED TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THIS IS EFFECTING. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS THE PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE PART FIXED AS I SEE THIS AS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT THE COST OF CHRYSLER. IN THE WEBSITE YOU CAN SEE OVER 800 PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN ACTIVE POSTS SINCE 2005.HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHRYSLER-PT-CRUISER/TF81KHBDLDVT92AH2. *TR

TIRES
MICHELIN HYDROEDGE P205/55R16 INSTALLED PERHAPS 3--5 YEARS AGO WENT FLAT DURING A ~20 MILE DRIVE, BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDERINFLATED (COLD WEATHER) BEFOREHAND. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND AN OPERATING TIRE PUMP FOR ~10 MILES. WHEN I APPLIED AIR THE TIRE WOULDN'T HOLD PRESSURE. REPLACING IT WITH THE SPARE ENABLED ME TO SEE THAT ON THE INSIDE THE TREAD HAD SPLIT OVER A LARGE CIRCUMFERENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
IN 2006 I PURCHASED A 2005 PT CRUISER WITH 12000 MILES, IT RAN GREAT UNTIL MAY,2009 WITH APPROX. 28000 MILES, WHEN IT STARTED SPITTERING AND SPUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT EXCEED A SPEED OF 25 FOR 15 TO 25 SECONDS, SOMETIMES LONGER. I FOUND THIS OUT ON A 275 MILE ROUND TRIP UP US HWY 40 AFTER STOPPING TO GET GAS. UPON REENTRY TO HWY 40 WITH CARS TRAVELING 70-85 MPH, MY CAR JUST WOULD NOT GO. I FELT MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY HUSBANDS WAS IN GRAVE DANGER. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND STAYED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL SPEED. THEN WHILE GOING UP HILLS, OR STOPPED FOR RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGN OR SLOWING DOWN TO YIELD, IT WOULD AGAIN, SPITTER & SPUTT AND BACKFIRE. UPON MY ARRIVAL BACK HOME I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS IN NEED OF A TUNE UP (ATL ESS THAN 20000 MILES), AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, WHICH I BELIEVED WAS A UNLIMITED 5 YR/50,000 MILES, COSTING IN EXCESS OF $300.00/WHICH I DID NOT AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET REPAIRED., BUT STILL FEEL THIS IS A DANGER FACTOR FOR ANYONE RIDING IN IT. (WHICH I SELDOM HAVE ANYONE WITH ME EXCEPT MY HUSBAND OCCASIONALLY.) THE PT CRUISER IS STILL THE SAME EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ADDED GAS TREATMENTS AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANERS TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS SEVERE, AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. THE CAR TO DATE ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 35000 MILES AND IS STILL ACTING UP, AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A TRUSTED LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A TUNE UP PROBLEM OR THE FUEL INJECTORS, AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THAT WAS STILL IN EFFECT AT THE TIME. (WHAT IS THE WARRANTY WORTH? (NOT LIFE OR LIMB.) I MIGHT ADD THAT IF I HAD KNOWN OF THIS WEB SITE OR HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE.
