NHTSA Complaint #10713391 — 2002 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER

OK I AM SO UPSET I BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO IT IS A 2002 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER WITH A BACK CHECK FROM MY DISABILITY CAUSE I HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING LOW TO THE GROUND TO GET IN AND OUT OF. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANYMORE ON THIS CAR THIS IS LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES I CAN'T GET TO THERAPY, DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS AND WHEN YOU GO ON ALL THESE SIGHTS IT IS THE SAME REPORT OVERHEATING FOR MODEL TEARS 2001-2005. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE OUT A LOAN TO HAVE A RADIATOR INSTALLED,SENSOR FOR FAN, THERMOSTAT,FAN,HOSES AND IT STILL OVERHEATS AND NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT IS A CRACKED HEAD GASKET NOW TELL ME HOW THE COUPLE OF TIMES IT DID OVERHEAT AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF AND TOWED IT GOT INTO THIS BAD OF SHAPE AND WHY SO MANY CRUISERS HAVE THE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS? I AM A SINGLE MOM ON DISABILITY WITH NO OTHER INCOME AND NOW HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. I EVEN AS SOON AS GOT CAR HAD THE TIMING BELT CHANGED AND WHATEVER ELSE NEEDED FOR NEAR FUTURE JUST SO DIDN'T HAVE THAT EXPENSE LATER ON. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE TO NECESSARY APPOINTMENTS FOR MY DISABILITY AND PAYING ON A CAR FOR REPAIRS AND NOW COMPLETELY DOWN AND WON'T BE FIXED HAVE BEEN QUOTED A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ALREADY HAVE A LOAN OUT FOR $700 BECAUSE OF OTHER REPAIRS NOT TO MENTION HAVE LOAN WHEN BOUGHT THE CAR PAYING ON! THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND TRUST ME HAVE PLENTY OF OTHERS WHO CAN GIVE YOU THEIR STORIES! I HAVE A SON WHO WILL GRADUATE NEXT YEAR ONLY CAR WE HAVE AND NOW HE CAN'T GO TO COLLEGE! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OF THEM AND MINE DID BUT THANK GOD DID HAVE SOME BOTTLED WATER IN THE CAR START A SMALL FIRE IN THE FRONT THIS IS SERIOUS! *TR
