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.

My 2001 PT CRUISER has been diagnosed with a leak in the steering gear which can only be observed by checking the boot which holds the steering fluid. This vehicle has 41,000 miles and has never been driven hard. It is garage housed and I do not feel this probelm should have happened with the miles and the use it has been subjected to. I have heard that the PT CRUISER has had this complaint lodged a number of times so I feel it may be a defect which should be addressed by Chrysler Corp.
