2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 52 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Original fuel line location caused friction and wearing on the braided fuel line. This wore a hole clear through the line spewing gasoline all over a very hot engine! I was the one who originally brought this to the attention of the internet 'pt community'. Please stress a recall on this issue. Very concerned for those who have no 'net access!! They have to be notified somehow! Some folks who didn't bother to check.. Because they have a 'later model' 2001. And we've already established that this is not relevant. They need to check! -thank you!
After researching internet found a fuel problem with pt cruiser. Confirmed information with dealer, however, vehicle is not being recalled.
Engine compartment, fuel line rubs against A/C line ,causing fuel line to fail.
Fuel line rests against air conditioner line and is wearing.
Fuel line rubbing thru by the air conditioner fitting, (incorrectly routed from factory) causing fuel to be sprayed all over the top of the engine and exhaust manifold.
Fuel line on pt cruiser rubs against the refrigerant line, causing wear on the fuel line. I was notified of this problem thruough ptcruiser club membership. I caught mine before it was worn completely through, and prevented a high-pressure fuel leak that has occurred on other ptcruisers. This not an issue that can wait for other occurances to surface. I will be taking mine to the dealer for remedy.
Fuel line rubbing against the AC lines in the engine compartment. Causing wear on the line and possible break, leaking the fuel on to the engine. Dealer medved 11201 w. I-70 frontage rd. N. Wheat ridge co, 80033 offered not to fix the fraid line, because there were no recalls from chrysler about this problem, but decided to tie the line back so it woudl not rub anything in the engine compartment.
Consumer smelled fuel while driving. Dealer discovered air conditioner hose had rubbed fuel line, causing the leak.
Fuel line rubbed on AC line and wore through plastic cover and hose was leaking gas. Dealer said that the line was on back order from manufacturer. On new model there is a clip to locate the line away from other parts. A check of a friends car shows wear to the plastic cover also. Since this could cause a fire, I think cars should be checked for wear and repaired by chrysler. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****760343***
Very poor performance and gas mileage has been observed while driving this car. Mopar own website for ptcruiser has parts for air cleaner and exhaust system to fix this problem but at the owners expense. Www.pt-tuning.com has a website with owners information about air cleaners and exhaust systems to fix the problem. I beleive the average gas mileage of a light truck is 20.7mpg and this car gets nowhere near that. I think for that reason the air cleaner and exhaust system should be replaced as a recall item to provide the owners with an enjoyable car instead of the lemon it has turned out to be. *ak (dot number: mkt2 bmdr tiresize: 205/55r16)
While consumer was travling at 15 MPH and drove through a puddle engine shut off. Contacted dealer, and the dealer stated that air intake was flooded from water that splashed up.
