CarComplaints.com Notes: Chrysler has taken the boring small car frame of the Neon, grafted a 1930s-era roadster body on top and named it the PT Cruiser. While the new look may appeal to some, the vehicle has unfortunately also inherited many of the same problems as the Neon.

Rear brakes on 2001 PT CRUISER w/25000 miles makes grinding noises when coming to a stop as if the pads are worn out. Dealer has checked the brakes multiple times and said they're showing normal wear on the pads. I was told that they've experienced this problem on other cruisers and Dodge neon's and there's nothing they can do.
