My 2002 Pt Cruiser has been maintained properly, including oil changes, for the entire time that I have owned it.

The oil consumption on the car has been approximately a quart per 1000 miles ever since the 36000 mile service. I feel that there is some inherent design problem that has led to the premature wearing out of the engine and the loss of power in this automobile. I think that this is unacceptable, regardless of the mileage, in the space of 4 years time.

My 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser has burned a quart of oil approximately every 900 miles of driving since it was new. It currently has 96,000 miles on it and still only gets 900 miles to a quart. The service manager at Chrysler told me that it would burn less as I drove it. It never did. As a retired mechanic, I can say I have never previously experienced this problem either directly or vicariously with a customers car that was purchased new. Thousands of other pt owners have had this exact same oil burning problem.
