#10213241 | Fire
RIDING IN CAR AND SMELLED SOMETHING BAD (LIKE HOT BRAKES OR BURNING RUBBER OR PLASTIC). GRANDSON CRIED OUT FROM HIS CAR SEAT THAT SOMETHING BURNED HIM. STOPPED CAR IMMEDIATELY AND REMOVED GRANDSON, REAR PASSENGER SIDE INSIDE OF DOOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND HAD BEGUN TO PUCKER UP (LIKE MELTED PLASTIC). ELECTRIC WINDOW NOW DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP 12-28-07 AND THEY SAY BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WE MUST PAY IN FULL, ESTIMATE IS >500.00. INSIDE OF DOOR PANEL BURNED COMPLETELY. ALSO SHOULD THE CAR NOT HAVE BLOWN A FUSE OR SOMETHING TO KEEP THIS FIRE FROM SPREADING AND CONTINUING BUT NO FUSES BLEW. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT WE ARE SAFE BUT WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY WITH PT CRUISERS AT THIS TIME. ALSO, I DOUBT THE DEALERSHIP WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE HORRIBLE BURN SMELL. *TR

ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE/ ALMOST WENT THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINED MUTLIPLE TIMES ABOUT MY BRAKE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES, AND EVERY TIME AM TOLD BRAKES ARE FINE. THEY DID ADJUST THE BRAKES ONCE BUT THE BRAKES SQUEAL & GRIND ALL THE TIME. WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE NEW STYLE BRAKES/ BRAKE ROTOR IS RUSTING BADLY AND CHIPPING AWAY AROUND THE TOP BUT WAS TOLD THIS IS A NORMAL EVENT DUE TO THE ELEMENTS. ALSO MY DASHBOARD IS COMING AWAY FROM MY WINDOW AND THIS HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED OR LOOKED AT. MY TIRES NEVER SEEM TO STAY INFLATED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS DUE TO THE WEATHER EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. MY CAR HAS POWER SURGES AND THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT FIND...
