PT Cruiser 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,000 miles
Have a 2001 PT CRUISER. Poor performance in gas economy, failed catalytic converter now egr valve has failed, I believe it is due to the catalytic converter failure. Since Chrysler has had other complaints about this issue with the cruisers why have they not been repairing them to the customers satisfaction?
