2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited review from North America
"Pretty face, empty performance."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
PT Cruiser idles rough and shakes like you are in a stiff wind.
General comments?
It stutters and loses power on takeoff and engine misses between 2500 and 3000 Rpm's.
Won't shift smoothly and bucks like a pony when shifting through all gears.
Seeking Lemon Law buyback for idle problem after 4 repair attempts.
