"Both lower control arm bushings torn"

"both front control arms had bushings worn. It was easier to buy the whole control arm and have it installed than to have just the bushings replaced"

"After an alignment, about August of 2014, the ride became hard, and it appears I need new bushings"

"front bushing"

"Power steering reservoir screen clogged and had to replace reservoir; Power steering pump stopped working; Power steering hose leaked"

"Can't find the problem, power steering fluid is in there but replaced pump, and it's still hit or miss. Over all car had very low miles and thought it would be a safe buy . . . it should be lemon yellow as it's been one thing after another"

"Wear resulted in "clunking" sound on bumps"

"It is the third time this car has been repaired for tie rods/steering arms, along with the related alignment."

"I'm guessing tie rods, it could have been steering rods or something I don't know name . As I was driving and turned a corner my right front wheel felt wobbly. When I looked the wheel was bent inward from the bottom and top of wheel was bent outward. It couldn't be driven so had it towed to a service provider to fix."

"this model seem to have problems with suspension especial inner and outter tie rods. i must replace NOW"

"they all are related to front suspencion failure"

"Wheels became unbalanced after just 6 months of driving a few miles a day"

"I was running errands and heard a thump from the right front wheel. The tire went flat. When I got to the shop I use, the mechanic couldn't touch the wheel because it was just short of hot enough to set the tire on fire. The real problem was a broken arm or caliper in the brake on the right front wheel. I think it was just plain old wear. My Cruiser has its crotchets and age-related problems, but I won't give it up until either Chrysler starts building them again (whoever decided to stop building them was an unadulterated fool) or the mechanic tells me my car can't be made road-safe for any price. It's versatile, easy to park, gets acceptable mileage even with a refurbished engine (long story), feels roomy and lets the driver sit up rather than sitting on the floor with her legs straight out in front, doesn't have a excessively long hood and invisible trunk one might back into whatever is behind the car, is distinctive and appealing to look at, and can carry a significant load easily. I reiterate--Chrysler made a significant blunder when it discontinued the PT Cruiser."

"The problem was actually with the failure of a slave cylinder on the rear drum brakes which caused the loss of all brake fluid and severely limited stopping ability"

"I got less than 6,000 miles on a set of front brake pads"

"No brakes at all. Quit driving. Junk yard will only give me $50 for it. Engine and trans fine."

"Have pulled wheel to check brake on left rear. Plenty of lining left on brake. Cleaned completely, greased springs and squeak stops for a short while (1 day-20 miles) and then returns.. I squirt brake cleaner into drum and it stops temporarily again."
