PT Cruiser
Oil Consumption Problem
My PT Cruiser consumes oil at the rate of a quart or more
every thousand miles.
Read my story to see how it turns out that my
PT Cruiser
had the exact same problem with the prior owner.
Ferman Automotive
contacted him after failing to repair the problem. Ferman
reacquired the vehicle,
giving the prior owner his choice of a new one from
the lot. See how many additional times they have failed
to repair the oil consumption problem.

Internal Chrysler "DaimlerChrysler" Documents Revealed
DaimlerChrysler is currently avoiding problems
such as excessive Oil consumption that should be covered under warranty,
which will usually eventually lead to complete Engine failure. To avoid
defective Engine warranty claims, Chrysler sends internal memo to dealers
stating that acceptable Oil consumption for Chrysler Engines below 50,000
miles is one quart per 1,000 miles driven! Acceptable Oil consumption for
Chrysler Engines with over 50,000 miles is one quart per 750 miles! Are we
the only group that finds this also absolutely ridiculous and
unacceptable? Chrysler also states that these are the industry standards?
We would like to know what industry Chrysler is in? This is clearly a scam
to push consumers beyond warranty period.
Strange enough, we called 10 different non
Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep Dealerships; the service departments of dealerships
including Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, Nissan and Kia and ironically
none of these dealerships found this type of Oil consumption acceptable
with their own vehicles they service. Once again we question how this type
of excessive Oil Consumption is in anyway acceptable where there are non
Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep vehicles with over 200,000 miles on them that
consume far less Oil.
Consumers should know that we are completely
limited from posting the actual document in a readable form due to
potential legal liability. After all, Chrysler's internal documents state
the following: No part of any technical information may be reproduced,
stored, in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise without the
prior written permission of DaimlerChrysler Corporation. What could they
be hiding in these internal documents?

Are you 100% SURE your PT Cruiser does not
consume oil?
Personal Tip:
Check your oil level yourself regularly. At the very least check it before
and after every oil change for own knowledge.
