2001 PT Cruisers
Dear 2001 PT Cruiser owners
Not satisfied with the response to my question concerning the problem surrounding the lack of arm rests in the 2001 PT cruisers with leather seats, I contacted The Chrysler Coorperation and got this possible explanation since no one really knew why.
The leather seats were built first and by the time they realized the arm rests were ommitted all the leather seats had been built. That's why the cloth seats which were built last, had the arm rests.
I filed a formal complaint with Chrysler and was told that unless they receive a considerable amount of complaints, nothing will probably be done since the problem has been remedied. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel I was cheated by Chrylser in that I paid more for the leather seats and got less quality then on the cheap cloth seats.
There is also the safety issue. If you read page 38 para. 4 and the last para. in the warning box on the same page, it states that it is unsafe to lean against the door if side air bags are installed in the vehicle. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to not have anything to lean up against to be comfortable in order to maintain my safety.
I believe the more people that call and complain about this
oversight, the better the chances that Chrylser will find a way to make things right. I don't know if it can be proven that it is a safety issue, but if it could, there would be a recall. If not a safety issue, then like I said, I believe we were cheated by not having a normal interior item installed in our vehicles.
So please, Call! And get everyone else you know to call that ownes a 2001 PT without the pass. arm rest and maybe, just maybe something will be done. Let's stick together. Call 1-800-992-1997
