The dashboard on my 2001 Pt Cruiser started cracking about 9 months ago, and is gradually cracking and crumbling right in front of my eyes. It makes me sick every time I get my car now. I was so proud to buy the Pt Cruiser in 2001. Now it's a shame and embarrassment to me.

The dashboard of my 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser is cracking in many places through the middle section. I'm afraid it may collapse as others have. The cracks also run through the top air vent. I've researched the web and found many other cases of this happening which some have caused accidents. Has Chrysler acknowledged this problem and is there a recall possibility? this is the first vehicle I have ever owned that has done this.

In 2001 bought a brand new 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. In the last 2 years the dashboard has started collapsing on itself. This has exposed the wiring harness in the dash to direct sunlight and I am afraid will melt the wiring. I have done nothing to cause this problem. Chrysler should replace this.

I have a problem with the rear bumper of my car and also the door pillars. First off, all of the older pts that I have seen have problems with both of these items. The bumper has some sort of discoloration problem on the edges of the bumper. It looks like there may have been some tape (from the factory?) that has discolored the bumpers on these vehicles. Also, the door pillar that are factory black get this terrible staining. It looks as if they are water spotted, but it is just a defect in the paint on the pillars. I see it on every cruiser I see. I has to buy chrome covers to make my car look presentable. I can't believe that there has not been a recall to replace these eyesores (and not on my dime, like I did).

The bumpers were replaced under warranty, but the failure has recurred. Her warranty has expired and now she would have to pay for this repair herself.
