problem #1

PT Cruiser 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,000 miles
My 2001 PT CRUISER has been diagnosed with a leak in the steering gear which can only be observed by checking the boot which holds the steering fluid. This vehicle has 41,000 miles and has never been driven hard. It is garage housed and I do not feel this probelm should have happened with the miles and the use it has been subjected to. I have heard that the PT CRUISER has had this complaint lodged a number of times so I feel it may be a defect which should be addressed by Chrysler Corp.
