A/c not cooling. Fan needed to be replaced.
On sept. 20, 2010, I was returning home in my 2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser convertible when I noticed a "burning" odor inside the car and saw a lot of smoke coming from the passenger side of the engine. My husband and I had the car towed to a dealership to see what happened and get the necessary repair. I was totally shocked when I found out that the cooling fan motor had burnt internally. We had the repair done and paid for it. As per judy in Chrysler case management, I have been informed that Chrysler will reimburse me for all but $100 of the repair. Thankfully, no crash occurred and no deaths or injuries resulted. Had I been driving the vehicle in a bad area or in a desolate area, the consequences could have been worse, I am convinced. My vehicle is only four years old and has just over 36,000 miles on it and I don't think a problem like this should have happened.

The car began repeatedly overheating requiring ac to be turned off. The cooling fan has ceased working and an entire assemble needed to be purchased. In discussing this with two separate garages, they indicated this was a common problem that they see frequently and should have been a subject of recall.
I was driving and the front part of the car broke down I couldn't keep on the shift couldn't move to park, drive or reverse. I had to call a tow truck the part an axel. I paid a mecanic. But the bushings are also messed up they are too expensive here in puerto rico it costs me more thatn 1,000 dollars to fix it and I've been driving like that since the day I bought the car. The dealer told that the it didn't have garanteen. Know another problem there is in febreuary I took my car to the mecanic because the cargot hot they change the water bomb, and it continue to rise the temperature, then the temostat and they even flushed the radiator,and they put a computer if it can ditect where is the problem. They just don't know what is the problem and they are one of the best radiator mecanics in bayamon puerto rico. Whe n I drive around theres no problem as long I I am not in a traffic jam for more than half an hour and when I go visit my parents to the countryside going up the hills that after ten minutes on the hill the temperarure starts to rise both times that I have visited my parents for the past five months ago I can't go. The mecanics can't figure out the problem. Can you give me any suggetions e-mail me back and I can give it to the mecanics . About the bushings I've asked a person on the streets that have a 2003 Pt Cruiser and she said that these cars have that problem.

) on 9/2/03 I had to take the car in to have the brakes checked. Problem found was the front right caliper piston stuck > closed causing uneven wear > of brakes pads ( metal to metal on front right and 50% pads on other three). Dealer replaced the caliper piston, replaced pads and machined rotors. Had to get a rental for one day. 2) on 2/21/05 had the car in the shop again to have the tires rotated and brakes checked. Dealer said although the pads where wearing evenly now, they stated "but worn out front and rear", need to be replaced. Brakes front and rear, replaced front rotors, resurfaced rear rotors" this time I had to have a rental for three days. 3) on 3/12/05 not even a month later, while I was driving on the freeway to work the, entire windshield became engulfed with steam, I could not see a thing and the wipers could not take the steam away, so again I had to head back to the dealership to have this checked out. Dealer stated "found engine cooling fan not working & radiator cap not holding pressure" " replaced fan and radiator cap". Another rental for two days. 4) on 6/14/06, 161 miles after the extended warranty runs out, I have a major transmission problem. Engine light comes on, I get the car to the shop and the dealer states transmission solenoid pack shorted out and damaged the controller and I had to have this item replaced. No rental required this time but the bill was $1055. 66 on my dime. Now . . . . The grand daddy of them all! 5) the car was back at the dealer on 8/1/06 for the same front right caliper piston issue as on 9/2/03, but on my dime this time.
