Too Many problems - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By A Mechanics review - June 1 - 8:30 amGreat looking but very poor, quality and reliability. This car has been in the shop more times in two years than all my other cars combined. Recirc vent door will not stay closed, head gasket leak at 300 miles, transmission rebuilt at 31,000 miles. Now the CV joint is slinging axle grease. I bought this car new because of the reviews Ive read hear, big mistake. People are too enamored with the styling and ignoring Chryslers poor quality control. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for a car with a better track record.

Another Chrysler Turb-woe - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By kms - March 2 - 1:06 pmUnfortunately, we purchased this car when it was on Consumer Reports "Best Bets" list. One year later this specific model is on the "Worst". We have had a major engine overhaul and replace numerous sensors. The 17" rims and tires have been another expensive problem. The paint and finish is the worst I have seen in my 35 years of driving. If this is the kind of product the American taxpayer is supposed to save Chrysler for then let them fold!
