2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Suspension Problems

“My 2004 Pt Cruiser needs the front hub assembly replaced again after approximately 40,000 miles. The bearings are shot and you have to buy a whole assembly rather than an individual bearing. I've spoken to numerous owners and they too have this problem is there a chance of a recall??”

“My Pt Cruiser has had to have all of the front end replaced, car started acting up at 50,000 miles and I now how almost 81,000 and I have replaced everything in the front end except the cv joints, which I hope does not need after I send this. I just had to have the rack and pinion done. When speaking with Chrysler directly they state that the Pt Cruiser has had a lot of recalls due to front end, but I am told that my VIN number does not fall in the mix. I am the only owner of my Pt Cruiser. I have replaced parts on my car starting back in 2010 early 2011.”

“Front passenger side wheel bearing is bad. Started about 31,000 miles. I took the car to the dealer thinking it's covered under the 7 year, 70,000 mile powertrain warranty! As I read the warranty, it states every thing is covered. But the dealer says it a wear part! I don't understand why a wheel bearing goes bad this early and why they don't cover it as a powertrain part? And the price to repair it is over 600.00. I just can't stand to bring myself to pay for this, as if I could afford it . …”

“Could not ask for a better car, but once it got close to 50,000 miles the transmission went out, thank god it was under warranty, then wheel bearing, control arm, motor mount, sway bar bushing, rack and pinon, almost everything in the front of this car has been replaced. When contacting Chrysler they say there has been alot of recalls for the front end supension but my VIN number did not fall under it. Things that should of not worn out this soon has worn out, I just had to do the bushing in the lower control arm after replacing the whole control not over 2 years ago. …”

“While driving my 2004 Chrysler Pt Cruiser, I started hearing a grinding noise coming from the front end of the car. In just a matter of days I could tell it was getting louder. I thought it might be the brakes but I just had the front brakes replaced 6,000 miles earlier. I took it to the mechanic where I had the brakes done and after checking the car he told me the problem was the left front wheel bearings. It cost me $556.23 to replace the front left hub and the bearings on both front wheels. After the repair, he showed me the old hub and bearings. …”
