Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The front suspension bushing on all chrysler pt cruisers are designed in such a manner that they can dislodge from their positions without warning, causing the front suspension to lose it's alignment. the bushing failure is covered with chrysler's warranty but the excessive tire wear associated with it, is not. the tire damage happens so fast that the tires cannot be salvaged. this is a common problem with pt cruisers. the dealers refuse to accommodate for the tire wear caused by their problem. *nm
