2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser review from North America
"I won't buy a PT Cruiser again!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bough my PT Cruiser in January 2003.
At 87,000 miles, the transmission failed. It began to stutter between 1st gear and 2nd, and then took a minute to pressurize from park to reverse.
The radiator fan went out at the same time also.
It takes me a while to get the speed I need to pass a car or move to another line. It is so dangerous when I have to merge with the flow, when I know my car takes a while to get there.
