2001 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER Complaints

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE WAS DRIVING WITH A LOSE LUG NUT AND A BROKEN LUG NUT ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. VEHICLE WAS TOW TO THE DEALER. NLM

ENGINE RACING WHEN STARTING,AND AT TIME WHEN STOPPING. ALSO, TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND BRAKES SQUEAKED. MECHANIC REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP ABOUT 6-8 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR.*AK

FUEL LINE RUBBED ON AC LINE AND WORE THROUGH PLASTIC COVER AND HOSE WAS LEAKING GAS. DEALER SAID THAT THE LINE WAS ON BACK ORDER FROM MANUFACTURER. ON NEW MODEL THERE IS A CLIP TO LOCATE THE LINE AWAY FROM OTHER PARTS. A CHECK OF A FRIENDS CAR SHOWS WEAR TO THE PLASTIC COVER ALSO. SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE, I THINK CARS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR WEAR AND REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****760343***

UPON STARTING VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED/ RADIO DID NOT WORK, AND TAIL LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, SPEEDOMETER RACED WITHOUT THE VEHICLE EVEN BEING ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

SUNROOF GLASS BUSTED WHILE GOING APPROX. 45 MPH.GLASS WAS BLOWN UPWARDS, AND SHATTERED COMPLETELY, THUS FALLING DOWN ON DRIVER.GLASS WAS PROTRUDING UPWARDS, PICTURES TAKEN IMMEDIATELY. DEALER CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY. MANUFACTURERS DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE DENIED ANY TYPE OF SERVICE WARRANTY VERBALLY WITHOUT LOOKING AT VEHICLE.HE CLAIMS SOMETHING FELL FROM THE SKY DUE TO A DENT ON TOP(OF WHICH DOCUMENTATION IS FILED WITH BBB), BUT NEVER ASKED ME WHERE THIS CAME FROM. HAD HE ASKED I COULD'VE ANSWERED, EVEN DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS OLD DENT. NEVER WOULD DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH ME. DEALER WAS INFORMED I WAS NOT HAPPY, AND UNDERSTOOD I WOULD GO FURTHER, AND SUPPORTED MY PROBLEM CONCERNING THE SUNROOF. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY BAD ON THE PRESSURE CONTAINED INSIDE.IF YOU OPEN A WINDOW YOUR EARS POP.NOTHING, NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW FROM OUTSIDE, IF IT DID GLASS WOULD'VE BEEN GOING DOWN, NOT UP. NOTHING HIT IT FROM THE INSIDE, NO CARS AROUND ME. GLASS WAS IN MY HAIR, SMALL CUTS ON MY HANDS, AND THANK GOD NO CHILD, OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. MY REPORT WILL GO NOWHERE, AND DETERMINATION IS AS THE DISTRICT REP. HAS STATED. I HAVE PICTURES FROM A CAMERA I BOUGHT IMMEDIATELY WHICH SHOW THE PROTRUDING GLASS.THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS T BONED ON RIGHT SIDE. UPON IMPACT, RIGHT SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSE UNKNOWN. DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE INJURED. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

DRIVER'S HEADREST KEEPS MOVING UP WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, PASSENGER'S SEAT WAS REPLACED BY MISTAKE. CONSUMER IS STILL WAITING TO HAVE DRIVER SEAT REPLACED. PLEASE ADD FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

VERY POOR PERFORMANCE AND GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. MOPAR OWN WEBSITE FOR PTCRUISER HAS PARTS FOR AIR CLEANER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. WWW.PT-TUNING.COM HAS A WEBSITE WITH OWNERS INFORMATION ABOUT AIR CLEANERS AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BELEIVE THE AVERAGE GAS MILEAGE OF A LIGHT TRUCK IS 20.7MPG AND THIS CAR GETS NOWHERE NEAR THAT. I THINK FOR THAT REASON THE AIR CLEANER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A RECALL ITEM TO PROVIDE THE OWNERS WITH AN ENJOYABLE CAR INSTEAD OF THE LEMON IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MKT2 BMDR TIRESIZE: 205/55R16)

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AT 50MPH, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING MAJOR BODY INJURY TO DRIVER.*AK
