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.

The drivers seat belt locks up tight anytime I lean forward to check for cross traffic at a stop sign or to check the side mirror blind spot before changing lanes. It locks immediately, I'm actually pinned to the seat back. I have to lean back into the seat back to allow it to release before being able to move my upper body forward. In the beginning it rarely happened, now it's almost all the time. On the other matter of the front disk brakes. The right side not only wore out twice as fast as the left but wore at an angle which caused the metal backing plate to scrape the rotor before the sqeeker was even close to scraping. I still have the brake pads.
