| The pt cruiser 2005 turbo was purchased new and currently has 68,296 miles. the vehicle has shut off on numerous occasions while we were driving. we immediately contacted cerritos dodge chrysler jeep (cerritos, ca) and glen e. thomas (signal hill,ca} and both serviced veicle. neither dealers fixed the problem.the last time we paid a service technician almost $100 to just ride around with us to see if vehicle would stop. again nothing was done. after finally bringing the car back 6 times for the same problem, within a 12 week period, they told us to contact the corporate division at chrysler because they would not service our vehicle. the most recent occurence was in september 2011( which put others life in danger) we were driving on the freeway at 60 miles/hr. the car just shut off, again without any warning. we are afraid to drive the vehicle on a regular basis, for fear of risking the lives of others and ourselves. we are currently seeking a recall because we know of other owners who has experienced the same problem. | |||

| I have a 2005 touring edition pt cruiser and it has been a headache for the last 21 months. in spring 2009, after having the car only 2 years, it starting leaking oil so i took into the dealership. they said the oil pan gasket was loose. they fixed it in a day and it ran fine, then a few months later, in august, it started leaking again. this time they said the oil was leaking from the front of the engine so they had to replace the cam seals, front crank seal and the oil pan gasket. i got it back a week later and was told the front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. i took it to a repair shop for the brakes and the mechanic said he'd never seen rotors wear that fast before. it ran pretty good until september 2009 when it started leaking oil again, took it to the dealership again this time they said they had to replace the short block, gaskets for the upper and lower engine, timing belt cover, crankshaft sprocket, and all the fluids in the car. they didn't charge for fixing this time because the said it was a manufacturing defect. another week in the shop and they said it was in running condition again. in may 2010 all four tires needed to be replaced because of tire rot and the spare didn't look that much better then the tires. later the same month the car started making a horrible noise need slowing to stop and starting. took it to the dealership again, the starter and flexplate need to be replaced. it was in shop a week, went to pick it up and was informed that one of the motor mount bolts was broken. it needed to be replaced along with the motor mount itself. they also said they deemed the car unsafe to drive and would not test drive it to make sure it was running correctly. i took the car home, two days later as i was driving home the gas pedal broke. it was against the mat and i could not get the engine to rev. thankfully i was by the median lane so i could roll out of traffic. | |||
