  • Worst Car Ever - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra before this car and never had as many issues as Ive had with the PT Cruiser. Granted I purchased it used, but within two days of purchasing it the mechanical issues began. Ive had to replace the torque converter, battery, PVC hose, a torn CV joint and front left axle. It makes a grinding noise between 45-60mph, vibrates during idle and starting first thing in the morning, and this morning it almost stalled on me while driving 75mph. Its also very uncomfortable. I feel like I am sitting on a bag of rocks. This is the only car Ive driven where you have to push up for the wipers, not down and the window controls are in the center of the vehicle.A true lemon
