Consumer Description

ON SEPTEMBER 23,2004 I PURCHASED A 2004 PT CRUISER. FROM THE FIRST DAY, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE DEALER AND THE CRUISER ITSELF. TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD NUMEROUS OF DENTS IN IT SO I HAD THE DENTS REPAIRED. I GET THE CAR BACK AND THE MEN WHO PULLED THE DENTS HAD PUNCTURED A WIRE AND MY INSIDE LIGHT AND MY TRIP ODOMETER WASN'T WORKING. IN THE MEAN TIME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH. IDLING TOO HIGH AND BOUNCY ON TAKE OFF. AT THAT TIME I TOOK IT BACK TO GET THAT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE REASON FOR THE ROUGH IDLE WAS A LOOSE VACUUM HOSE. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS RUNNING WORSE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE SAID THAT IT IS THE NATURE OF THE CAR AND THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO RUN ROUGH AND IDLE HIGH. I WANTED TO EXCHANGE MY CAR FOR A DIFFERENT PTA CRUISER OR A DIFFERENT CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT I SIGNED ON THE LINE TO PURCHASE IT SO I WAS STUCK WITH THE CAR. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON IT. I THINK THE 2004 PT CRUISER ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE CAR AT ALL.*AK
