2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Almost hit another vehicle/ almost went through a traffic light. I have complained mutliple times about my brake. I have had my car in to the dealer 3 times for the brakes, and every time am told brakes are fine. They did adjust the brakes once but the brakes squeal & grind all the time. Was told it was just the new style brakes/ brake rotor is rusting badly and chipping away around the top but was told this is a normal event due to the elements. Also my dashboard is coming away from my window and this has not been corrected or looked at. …”

“The fixed rear quarter glass on my 2004 Chrysler Pt Cruiser fell out. No damage was done to property or a person. There is a safety recall, g01, for 2005 and 2006 pt cruisers. Chrysler refuses to repair the defect. The adhesive failed.”

“Riding in car and smelled something bad (like hot brakes or burning rubber or plastic). Grandson cried out from his car seat that something burned him.

I have extended warranty which doesn't cover this job. So since we were told that we are not going to be able to adjust were we want the heat or air to circulate. …”

“I am writing to you to alert you to a horrible hazard in cars with electric windows. In november 2003 my family and I were on vacation in san diego and we rented a Pt Cruiser. At one point we were parked in a parking lot with the car running talking to another group when my 6 year old stuck her head out the windowe to join the discussion. When she did, she accidentially kicked the power window button with her foot. The button was located near the floor in the backseat on the middle consol. She rolled the window up on her own head and was stuck in the window. …”
