Consumer Description

PURCHASED MAR 2007 THE PT CRUISER CONVERTIBLE GT. WAS GETTING 19MPG MAXIMUM. WITH 13,000 MILES, THE CRANKSHAFT SEAL ON THE ACCESSORIES END WAS PUSHED OUT BY TOO MUCH CRANKSHAFT END PLAY. 4 QUARTS LOW ON OIL WHEN IT FLASHED THE OIL LIGHT. CAR WAS HAULED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PUT ANOTHER SEAL IN IT AND THAT ONE FAILED WHILE THE DEALER STILL HAD THE CAR. THEY REPLACED THE SHORT BLOCK CAM BELT AND SEALS. THE CAM BELT MADE EXCESSIVE NOISE ON START-UP FOR THE FIRST MONTH. I NOW HAVE 17,500 ON IT AND THE MAXIMUM FUEL MILEAGE IS 16. IT WILL BE BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKING FOR A VACUUM LEAK AND CHECKING TO SEE IF CHRYSLER HAS A NEW FUEL MAP FOR THE COMPUTER. COMPLAINT IS FUEL MILEAGE AND ENGINE DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE ITS OIL WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO LOSE CONTROL FROM ENGINE OIL ON THE TIRES OR FROM THE ENGINE LOCKING UP. *TR
