Tank Assembly Problems of Chrysler Pt Cruiser

On October 4, 2006, I had noticed that my fuel gauge on the Pt Cruiser was still reading full and I knew after driving it for a week it should be reading empty. I also noticed that when I accelerated, the gauge read "full" but when I put on the brakes it would read "empty"; it even read 1/2 full a couple of times. On October 5,2006, I took the car back to dave dennis Chrysler Jeep and Dodge to have it repaired. According to the workorder, the dealer replaced the "fuel sending unit". At that time, I had also asked for their free 16 point check which involves checking fluid levels and tire air pressure, etc. This service was not performed because the next morning we had to stop from our road trip to put air in all 4 tires. The front passenger only had 10psi in it. On October 27, 2006 I had to return the car to the dealer again after I had filled the gas tank to capacity. The fuel guage was only reading 3/4 full. Once again they removed and replaced the "fuel sending unit". I have also had problems with the hatch door on the pt. You have to use more than normal force to make sure it is closed securely. If you use regular force to close the hatch, the door is flushed with the rest of the car but the sensor light comes on stating that the door is not closed correctly. I have noticed that along the stress points on the hatch door the paint had cracked. The body shop sanded and repainted the door but said the force used to shut the door is a "factory" issue.

: the contact stated the tires on the vehicle continually lost air. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection numerous times. The dealer replaced all 4 tires and a rim; however, the problem still persisted. Also, the vehicle manifested remote control problems, as well a cracked windshield a broken gas tank. In addition rack and pinion steering was defective, and power steering fluid was leaking.

Gas gauge malfunctioned. It indicated that there was no gas in the tank, even though the tank was full. Dealership was notified. The fuel sending unit failed. The sending unit provided false fuel level infomation to the fuel gauge on the dash. .

I smelled gasoline and discovered a puddle of gas under my 2001 Pt Cruiser. When I took it into the dealership they indicated that there was a crack in the neck leading from the gas tank and the tank would have to be replaced. There is nothing in my driving that would have caused this. I am concerned that this apparent defect may occur on more than just my car and may be a problem with other similar vehicles with 42,000 miles on them. The dealership had also done recall work at a different location on this gas tank and the problem may have something to do with the care they took doing the recall work. The crack in the tank when viewed is between a plastic 2. 5" dia. Tube piece in the upper corner of the tank and the tank itself, this tube piece is a separate piece they has been attached to the plastic tank. The seal between the two had been broken is some way.
