Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems are prone to leaks, which can result in decreased braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads

Over time, brake pads wear down and need replacement to maintain effective braking performance.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can become stuck or fail, leading to uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking power.

Brake master cylinder problems

Failure or wear in the master cylinder can lead to a spongy brake pedal or brake fluid leaks.

Overheating engine

The 2004 PT Cruiser is known for overheating issues, often due to cooling system problems such as radiator or thermostat failure.

Head gasket failure

The 2.4L in-line 4-cylinder engine can suffer from head gasket leaks, leading to coolant and oil mixing.

Timing belt wear

The timing belt in the high-output 16V engine requires periodic replacement to prevent engine damage.

Ignition coil failure

The PT Cruiser's engine may experience ignition coil failures, causing misfires and reduced performance.

Faulty crankshaft position sensor

Issues with this sensor can lead to engine stalling or not starting at all.

Suspension wear

The PT Cruiser's suspension components, such as control arms and bushings, are prone to wear, affecting handling and ride quality.
