Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2006 PT CRUISER TOURING EDITION IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010, LESS THEN ONE MONTH LATER THE CAR BEGAN POURING OUT OIL. TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED IT WAS EITHER THE CRANK SHAFT OR CAM SHAFT SEALS. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS. THE CAR WAS RETURNED WITHIN A WEEK WITH A NEW HEAD GASKET, CAM SHAFT SEAL AND CRANK SHAFT SEAL AND SINCE IT WAS RIGHT AT 62,000 MILES A NEW WATER PUMP AND TIMING BELT. 1 MONTH LATER THE CAR WAS AGAIN LEAKING OIL. CAR IS IN SHOP CURRENTLY, NOT SURE WHAT THEY HAVE DECIDED TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
