2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Other or unknown Problems

“I slowed downed for a rail road crossing and after I crossed it the front end dropped down . I lost control of the car . The car veered right . I got stopped before I got to the ditch . We couldn't move the car . Had it towed to a garage . After inspection they told me the frame that holds the suspension together rusted through and broke in half . It pushed the suspension up and against the engine . If I would have been going any faster could have veered left to a head on crash or hit the ditch and flipped the car . …”

“I have a faulty part in my 2001 Pt Cruiser it is called a fog light switch it goes bad in 2001 and 2002 cruisers. I have a website you can go on and see over 300 more people like me who are having the same problems. Google search word for word trouble with multifunction control switch for Pt Cruiser headlights. Please help along with hundreds of other people who almost lost there lives due to there lights going out.”

“The car will shut off and not restart for at least 10 minutes. I have taken it to several mechanics and when the tester is applied no code appears and none have been able to tell us what the problem is. I took to the internet and found numerous instances of the same circumstances but no solution. This is dangerous because there is no warning, it just stops. Do to the highly dangerous situation we only take it on the street where the likelihood of collateral injuries can be better controlled. This has been ongoing for about (6) months, the last time was about 6 weeks ago”

“The clockspring in my steering column broke. I noticed a rubbing noise and the steering wheel would stick when I turn the wheel to the right. The right turn signal when activated would not turn off when the steering wheel is turned in the opposite direction. I took it to the dealer and had the clockspring replaced at my expense. The dealer told me that the airbag would not deploy until the clockspring is replaced. For a item to fail on a vehicle that involves safety equipment and not be replaced at the manufactures expense is quite irresponsible and careless for the publics safety.”

“2001 Pt Cruiser 21,800 miles and our dash started cracking at side vents in 2004. Cracks extend from all vents toward the windshield, similar to other Pt Cruiser owners in the USA. The problem is with Chrysler's choice of suppliers in mexico. Unfortunately, it will take a class action suit against Chrysler to change their service to customers. I am investigating several lawyers involved in this area who are aware of a mass recall problem. The problem is not isolated to one state. The dash will shortly collapse in causing a potential accident. Perhaps at that time NHTSA will consider a recall. …”
