2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED CLICKING LIKE THEY DO WHEN HITTING THE WIRELESS REMOTE. AT THE SAME TIME THE FLASHERS WOULD GO ON. THIS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY ALL THE WAY TO WORK ON CITY STREETS AS WELL. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER AT THIS TIME. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON, SOMETIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO MY MECHANIC IN JANUARY FOR A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB. THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD LESS THAN 10000 WHEN THE CAR WOULD SHIMMY VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT OF A MATERIAL MADE TO WITH STAND MUCH HEAT. HE ADVISED A BEEFIER ROTOR. THERE WAS NOW A HEAVY DUTY ROTOR AVAILABLE ON THE AFTER-MARKET. I DID NOT TAKE THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY MOST LIKELY WILL TELL ME I WAS TOO HARD ON THE BRAKES. IF THAT WERE THE CASE THE HONDA, WHICH HAD 107000 MILES ON IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FOR BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BY NOW, IT WAS ON THE FIRST SET AND FINALLY NEEDED PADS. . ANOTHER CAR DID NOT SEE ME COMING AND PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE HORN IT WOULD NOT HONK. I HAD TO REPOSITION MY HAND SEVERAL TIMES TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT AND THEN PUSH VERY HARD. I PLANNED TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THEM. * AK

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 2/24/07 IN WHICH A LADY RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT THE FRONT END OF MY 2006 PT CRUISER AT MAYBE 30 MPH. I HIT MY HEAD FORCEFULLY AGAINST THE DRIVER PANEL NEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN WHICH MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUSTAIN HEAD INJURY WITH LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. I NOW HAVE A HEMATOMA WITH A BLACK EYE, SEVERE HEAD ACHES, SEVERE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN, AND SOME DIZZINESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, I AM ALSO SUFFERING FROM PAINFUL BODY ACHES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MY LOWER BACK AND KNEES, TOWING AND PARAMEDICS WERE CONFUSED AS TO WHY MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, ALSO THE SENSOR HAS BEEN ACTIVATED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BE DRIVING AND WITHOUT NOTICE THESE BAGS CAN DEPLOY IF THE CAR IF FIXABLE, I AM AFRAID, I HAVE 2 CHILDREN WHO RIDES WITH ME IN THIS CAR. HOW MY TIMES HAS THIS HAPPEN AND ARE THERE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF CAR????? *NM

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PT CRUISER. THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT WAS IN A CAR CRASH WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH , ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSED THE CRASH. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FENDER AND THE AXLE WERE DAMAGED. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED, AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE CRASH. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE DEALER EXPECTED HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER REPAIRING IT,BUT THE CONTACT DIDN'T FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ENGINEERS HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE , AND STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DRIVER WITHIN 72 HOURS. THERE WAS NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL WHICH STATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT HER IN 12 BUSINESS DAYS. *AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A GREYHOUND BUS AND A PT CRUISER. AT AN UNDERPASS IN TUCSON I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TAKING A LEFT OFF INTERSTATE 10. THE GREYHOUND BUS WAS MAKING A LEFT THAN A QUICK RIGHT. WHEN HIS BACK END WENT OUT MY CRUISER WAS HIT ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND LANDED ME IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH FACE INJURIES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB
