2007 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

THE A/C PRESSURE SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AND I HAVE JUST RESEARCH IT ON LINE AND THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, CLAIMING THAT THEIRS BROKE WHEN THE CAR REACHED BETWEEN 37,000 TO 40,000 MILES. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER FROM CHRYSLER INDEFINITE AND ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET AND JUST ABOUT ALL CAR PARTS DEALER, YOU CAN' GET IT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN 102 DEGREE WEATHER WITH ASTHMATIC CHILDREN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ESPECIALLY THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD (2007). *TR

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY CHECK OIL GAS LIGHT CAME ON, AND SO MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL(MY CAR ONLY HAS 22000 MILES ON IT) AND WHEN HE CHECKED IT THERE WASN'T ANY OIL IN THE CAR, IT WAS VERY LOW. IT BARLEY READ ON THE DIP STICK. AFTER CHANGING MY OIL, MY CHECK OIL CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 500 MILES. AGAIN THERE WASN'T MUCH OIL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY WOULD MARK MY OIL PAN AND PLUG AND LOOK AT MY CAR EVERY 1000 MILES TO DOCUMENT ON HOW MUCH OIL I AM USING. THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN ANYWHERE WITH THIS OIL SITUATION. I DRIVE ABOUT 26 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK ON MAJOR INTERSTATE, AND I AM AFRAID TO GET STRANDED... *TR
