PT Cruiser 4-cyl

I have had problems with this car more than any other new vehicle I've owned. I had ac compressor problems still under warranty... I replaced the alternator and battery at 36700 miles. Now, both front wheel hub and bearing assemblies are shot, and will be replaced at 43,000 miles. I bought this car new, and it is my 3rd and last Chrysler product. I had an 2002 pt, this 2005 cruiser, and I've got an 2006 cruiser that is starting to show signs of wheel bearing issues.

After only 35.5K miles the dealership mechanic informed me that both front hubs and bearings need replacement. An online search revealed many many owners with the same complaint. Unsat!
