| 2005 | STEERING | MY 2005 PT CRUISER CHRYSLER AT 49,661 MILES WAS IN AN ACCIDENT RIGHT FRONT END THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS BEFORE WHEN CAR WAS RETURNED IT WAS MAKING A NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE RIGHT TIRE WHEN I RETURNED IT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE THEY HAD IT LOOKED AT AND STATED THE FRONT BEARING AND HUB WAS GONE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I CHECKED SOME SITES ON LINE IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND NEITHER THE INSURANCE NOR E CHRYSLER FEELS THIS DEFECT IS ANY OF THERE FAULTS. *TR |
| 2001 | STRUCTURE | I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BUMPER OF MY CAR AND ALSO THE DOOR PILLARS. FIRST OFF, ALL OF THE OLDER PTS THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. THE BUMPER HAS SOME SORT OF DISCOLORATION PROBLEM ON THE EDGES OF THE BUMPER. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME TAPE (FROM THE FACTORY?) THAT HAS DISCOLORED THE BUMPERS ON THESE VEHICLES. ALSO, THE DOOR PILLAR THAT ARE FACTORY BLACK GET THIS TERRIBLE STAINING. IT LOOKS AS IF THEY ARE WATER SPOTTED, BUT IT IS JUST A DEFECT IN THE PAINT ON THE PILLARS. I SEE IT ON EVERY CRUISER I SEE. I HAS TO BUY CHROME COVERS TO MAKE MY CAR LOOK PRESENTABLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE EYESORES (AND NOT ON MY DIME, LIKE I DID). *JB |
