2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Engine cooling Problems

“I took my 2004 Chrysler Pt Cruiser in to have the motor mounts replaced at 55,000 miles, which is one of my complaints, the shody construction of these mounts is insane. When investigating the mounts my mechanic spotted a coolant leak which he traced to a crack in the engine block itself. The level of corrosion from the leak indicated the crack had been there for a substantial period of time. Dealer denied any warranty service for the defect. …”

The engine eventually started shutting down completely when coming to a stop, and also chugs and loses power going up hills.

“I have had problems with my automatic 2004 Pt Cruiser since I have purchased the vehicle in january of 2004. The car has been in the shop for weeks at a time due to the car stalling while I am driving which is extremely dangerous since the power steering locks, and this action can potentially cause me to lose control of the car.
