NHTSA {Link to fill out Defects on Cruiser}

[Spiderman]

I will post this separately due to the severe problems occurring with the lower bushings.

PLEASE go to the link below and fill out the defects form. We need Chrysler to get ALL of these covered under warranty !

We did it with the fuel line that was rubbing by the AC line, now we need to do this with this latest SERIOUS problem......Before it was a chance of the car catching on fire. Now it is a chance of you loosing control of the vehicle while traveling down the Interstate....

Very good web site ,a lot to look at. Surprised no one has complained about poor fuel mileage. I posted this site on our club web site. Thank you for this information.

SOMEONE did, under 2001. Labelled it as CARBURETOR PT CRUISER!! Odd- methought it was injected!!

This site is supposed to be SAFETY related items- fuel economy isn't a safety concern, IMHO.

BTW- there are 244 complaints under the 2001 PT. I am no expert, but seems like a large amount! (based on the number of entries for other vehicles)

here is the one I found:

Make: CHRYSLER
Model: PT CRUISER
Year: 2001
Complaint Number: 757895
Summary:
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)
