Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Chrysler Pt Cruiser based on all problems reported for the 2005 Pt Cruiser.
The fuel line/pressure regulator assembly has been replaced for the third time because the pressure regulator leaks, spraying gas on the firewall. Including the original part, this is now the fourth assembly in this vehicle. We have had the service performed at an independent facility, not Chrysler, but the parts have been purchased form Chrysler. My service tech says he replaces 50 or 60 of these per year. This is a potentially dangerous problem. When the assembly fails, the odor of gas permeates the inside of the vehicle and is very strong outside the vehicle. This vehicle only has 55000 miles on it and the first replacement was at about 40000 miles.
The contact owns 2005 Chevrolet Pt Cruiser. The contact stated that she could smell smoke inside of the vehicle while driving. The dealer diagnosed that the fuel line was defective. The vehicle was repaired numerous times, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 35,000.
