#199 of 259 cooling problem by jabo3940 Jun 28, 2008 (3:47 pm)
we have a 2007 pt cruiser.bought it in febuary08 with 32000 miles on it.now it has 37000 miles.two weeks ago it started pushing the coolant into the plastic jug,but it wont recover it,then of course it starts spitting it out of the jug.after it pushes enough out of the radiator into the jug,of course,it tries to run hot.i changed the thermostat just hoping that was the problem...it wasnt.i'm all but positive its the head gasket leaking.after it sits for a short time,when you first start it up,it misses for about 10 seconds.kinda like it has a little water on the top of the pistons,which would be a head gasket.has anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: jaball0 (Jun 20, 2008 8:06 am) My 2006 PT Cruiser Route 66 edition is doing exactly what you described in this post. It has being having this problem on and off for a few months now and the dealer has not been able to find a fault. Today the problem was so severe that the car loss all power, including steering, causing me to nearly have a car accident. As I drive long distances everyday on the motorway I now feel like its too unsafe to drive. Please let me know if you find out what is causing the problem!

Replying to: ellz (Jul 14, 2008 1:56 am) Mine did the same thing and it was the internal turbo charger. The dealership fixed it about 6 months ago and it was working great, but it has started happening again. Replies to this message: scott_a_ro (Jul 15, 2008 11:54 am)

Replying to: crzywmn84 (Jul 14, 2008 10:00 pm) Around how much does that cost to have fixed?

Replying to: ellz (Jul 14, 2008 1:56 am) I’ll let you know if I ever find out. Still no luck with the dealership. Even contacted Chrysler but all they did was tell me to contact the dealership. Big help. Replies to this message: dea2221 (Jun 06, 2009 6:32 pm) nervoust (Jul 02, 2009 4:23 pm)
#204 of 259 No fuse light on!? by germanguy675 Jul 23, 2008 (9:22 am)
I recently bought a 2006 pt cruiser with 16000 miles on it and am very happy but something strange happened the other night while driving.I was driving home and the interior lights,radio,air conditioner stopped working.I noticed in the farthest right gauge a "no Fuse light" was on.I figured I blew a fuse and replaced suspected fuse but problem continues off and on.When this happens doors will not unlock from remote,ignition is delayed and it seems like the computer keeps reseting itself.P.S suspected fuse looked fine.Have an appointment with dealer Monday.Any ideas or suggestions.Thanks,Michael
#205 of 259 Y Reg PT Cruiser by creativeaims Jul 26, 2008 (6:07 am)
Does anyone know whether there was a recall on Y reg Cruisers regarding the engine light. It has even been reset but still omes back on. Please help! Replies to this message: tedebear (Jul 26, 2008 9:13 pm)

Replying to: creativeaims (Jul 26, 2008 6:07 am) It has even been reset but still omes back on.   If a fault still exists the CEL will keep reappearing until it is corrected.   Have you had it scanned for any fault codes? Places like AutoZone will do this for free.
#207 of 259 Re: Fog lamp switch won't turn off [incruiser] by luv2read Sep 06, 2008 (2:36 pm)
Replying to: incruiser (Jun 07, 2005 9:32 pm) I had the same problem. When I put my headlights on I also saw smoke coming out of my steering column. There was also a burning smell. I took my car to the mechanic and he replaced the headlight switch. Because of the airbag my mechanic said he had to disconnect the battery. That problem is solved but my CD player has not worked since I picked up the car. The radio works and only displays AM & FM, the CD function is gone.

Replying to: jaball0 (Jun 20, 2008 8:06 am) Hi,   I'm experiencing this exact same issue and have had no luck getting the dealer to find anything. Did you figure out what the issue was?   Thanks
