Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE WARRANTY IS UP AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT AXLE BEARING IS SHOT. MY MECHANIC WAS VERY SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THIS ON SUCH A NEW CAR AND SAID IT WAS VERY UNSAFE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER SINCE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE PT CRUISER AND HAPPENS ON EVERY MODEL AND YEAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *JB
