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.

Brakes have smelled entire life of vehicle. Brake pads and rotor had to be replaced pre-maturely at 18000 miles. Brakes still smell. Believe that the root cause of the problem was not determined and problem will reoccur. Believe that there is a manufacturer defect with brake assembly or anti-lock brake system. Originally purchase car at robert green cpj, have serviced at salerno cp.
