PT Cruiser 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 117,000 miles

When I first bought the car, it had a computer chip malfunction. Since I just bought the car, Chrysler did reimburse me a few hundred for the fix, but I was still out half what I paid. The tire sensors are annoying and make replacing the tires expensive. About a year and a half ago, the steering column was loose and had to have this fixed (how did that happen)? The most annoying complaint is the fan went dead and caused my car to overheat. To me, the car was not worth fixing and I let an auto mechanic purchase the car super duper cheap.

On the brighter side, the car has lots of room in the back, especially when you take the seats out. It served its purpose for my needs, but feel sad that it only last 117,000 miles for me before having to GIVE IT AWAY!!
