2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

2006 PT CRUISER UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BULBS TWICE. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AC REPAIRS (THEY FOUND A BAD LOW PRESSURE SWITCH AND FAN) AND NOW I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND IT IS APPARENTLY CORRODE TERMINALS AND BOTH LAMP ASSEMBLIES HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IS THIS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES? APPARENTLY THESE ARE DEALER ITEMS AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT. *TR

MY WIFE HAS A 2006 PT CRUISER. AROUND 5/14/2009 IT STARTED SPUTTERING WHEN IT IS AT AN IDLE. THE MOTOR DOES FINE WHEN YOU ARE IN MOTION. MY WIFE WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING SYSTEM FAN BEHIND THE RADIATOR. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT. IF I 'M NOT MISTAKEN A PART LIKE THAT SHOULD LAST LONGER AND NOT BREAK DOWN AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART AND WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR
