I PURCHASED NEW,2005 PT CRUISER IN EL PASO, TX. RETURNED CAR FOR SERVICE AT 3 WEEKS WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS- MISSING, MISFIRE. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG & RESET COMPUTER. RETURNED CAR FOLLOWING WEEK- ENGINE USED 1/2 QT OIL IN ONE WEEK. COULD SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING CAR. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. I SPOKE WITH SALES MANAGER AND TRIED TO RETURN CAR. THEY SAID NO, THIS WAS NORMAL. THEY SAID CARS COULD USE OIL IN FIRST MONTH OF USAGE. THEY SAID THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS BEING TRANSFERRED TO DALLAS FOLLOWING WEEK, THEY SAID NO PROBLEM, IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG GO TO DEALER IN DALLAS. SEPT- CAR USED 1/2 QT OIL AGAIN, GAS/OIL SMELL GETTING STRONGER WHILE DRIVING- EFFECTING MY ASTHMA. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER FOR SERVICE- SERVICE SAID OIL USAGE NORMAL FOR UP TO ONE YEAR. SERVICE SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ISSUE UNTIL CAR WAS...
CAR BOUGHT WITH 180 MILES ON IT. AT A STOP, WHILE IN IDLE, THE CAR SHUTTERS AND SHAKES. NOW THE CAR HAS 1700 MILES ON IT AND IT STILL SHUTTERS IN IDLE. ENGINE SEEMS TO BE CONSISTANTLY MISFIRING.
MY SON, WHO LIVES THE ORLANDO AREA, WAS SLOWLY TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IN HIS 2004 PT CRUISER WHEN HE SUSTAINED CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. THE AIR INTAKE FOR THE ENGINE IS LOCATED BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. HE SLOWLY WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES DEEP WHILE HAVING THE WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT. A FEW DROPS OF WATER OFF OF THE WHEEL GOT INTO THE AIR INTAKE, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO IMMEDIATELY SEIZE. $5000 REPAIR JOB.*AK
