THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE TIRES WERE BEING ROTATED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE FRONT CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WERE WORN WHICH COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING ENGINE OIL AT AN ABNORMALLY RAPID RATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT WAS LOOSE AND PUSHING THE FRONT CRANK SEAL AND PISTONS. HE ALSO ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000.

INFORMED, DURING A STATE REQUIRED ANNUAL VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION THAT, AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS AND 37,000 MILES, THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON THE CAR ARE COMPLETELY GONE METAL IS RUBBING METAL. THE WEARING WAS NOT NOTICED BY A CHRYSLER DEALER WHEN I HAD A BRAKE REPAIR DONE 5 MONTHS AGO. I FEEL THIS MAY HAVE BEEN INTENTIONAL SO THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 1,000 MILES AGO AND 10 DAYS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PT CRUISER BUT WAS NEVER ISSUED A TSB OR A RECALL. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 IN NOVEMBER 2007 THE IGNITION SWITCH FUSE STARTED TO PLOW OUT ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS. IT GOT WORSE IN AUGUST16, 2009 IT WOULD NOT STOP BLOWING SO WE TOOK IT TO LARRY MILLER DODGE TO HAVE IT CHECK AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT MELTED SOME WIRE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. HAD IT ALL REPLACED AND DROVE AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THERE MACHINE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO I LEFT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO DO IT IN FRONT OF THEM AND IT DID STARTED BLOWING THE IGNITION FUSE RIGHT THERE I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM AND THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME IT STOPPED DOING IT A DAY LATER IT DID IT AGAIN SO I CALLED THE MAIN OFFICE OF LARRY MILLER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT TO STAY BY THE PHONE AND THEY WOULD CALL ME ON WHAT TO DO I DID. 2 MONTHS LATER WENT BY AND I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THAT THE GUY THAT WAS HELPING ME GOT FIRED AND THAT THEY CLOSED THE CASE I HAVE BEEN CALLING THEM ABOUT EVERY DAY ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID IT IS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. AND NOW THE COOLING FAN IS NOT WORKING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE BOY WITH ME AND AM WORRIED SOMETHING IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE. *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT COMING ON & THE DINGING- PD. $98. 1ST TIME, TOOK BACK 2 MORE TIME, STILL NOT FIXED, SAID WARRANTY IS UP & DOES NOT COVER ELECTRICAL... THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM & SEEM NOT TO BE INTERESTED IN TRYING.. SUGGEST I PUT NEW SEATBELT IN AT MY EXPENSE OF $500. TO ME THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN U HAVE THIS ALARM GOING OFF EVERY 20 SEC, IT CAN BE A DRIVING HAZARD.... 2007 PT CRUISER - CALLED CHRYSLER & THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH ME ON THIS, IS GETTING VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN U BUY A NEW CAR & HAVE THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER, THAT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION OR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGING INCIDENT HOWEVER THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING TO THE POINT WHERE IF ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNS ON AND THE NOTIFICATION CHIME SOUNDS. THE DEALER HAS ESTIMATED THAT $500 WOULD BE A GOOD START TO REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. *TR
