My problem is that I have had multiple front end and suspension problems. In four years I have had multiple wheel bearing, three sets of lower control arms and numerous trips to the dealship complaining about the rattle in the front of my car. Now I have more suspension problems, a broken motor mount and a blow head gasket. It is a shame because I really love my car just hate the poor design.

I'm in love with my PT... I wasn't happy when my husband 1st bought it... now I love it. Dotta was awesome to deal with (thanks Anita). Very comfy! Very cute! Great! Only down fall: fuel economy. I'm only 28 with 2 children... I'm not ready for a mini van. The PT was a perfect choice! GREAT FAMILY CAR!! All of my children's friends want to ride in it.

Gave Me Nightmares

I bought this car with 13K miles on it, back when Consumer Reports actually recommended the Cruiser. The first two years were OK, but then disaster struck. The whole shock system went down, struts, bushings, brakes, and everything else had to be replaced at around 50K. The next summer, my transmission went KAPUT. Luckily, the car was still under warranty. Now, I've discovered that all the struts, bushings, axles, and rotors need to be replaced again. This car has caused me to have nightmares about driving it down hills, and then going totally out of control and careening around corners.
