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 are warped, pedal goes all the way down to the floor. Dealership is aware of problem. Consumer is stating that the vehicle is driven only 2000 miles since brakes changed and new brakes already squeal and grind.
