What are the most common problems with the Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Is the PT Cruiser reliable? I’ve heard mixed reviews of Chrysler overall, so I’m not sure if the PT Cruiser is a good car for me or not.

Unfortunately, the
Chrysler PT Cruiser
isn’t the most reliable car on the market. Some of the most common problems with the PT Cruiser include:
  1. Issues with starting the car.
  2. The engine will not engage.
  3. Rattling in the interior.
  4. The engine misfiring due to faulty spark plugs.
If you do decide to buy a PT Cruiser and you notice any of these issues, it’s best to talk to your mechanic to figure out the source of the problem. If you don’t get these issues addressed quickly, they could become larger problems for your car over time.
