Hi Beth, Unfortunately the PT Cruiser like serveral new cars out there have thin cheap rotors (save weight and pennies). I had a 1999 Alero that GM finally fessed up about and replaced the rotors under warranty (23K on the car). SUVs are really bad, my 1996 Jimmy needed a brake job and rotors at 22k. Not only is it a quality problem but the ABS we have all grown used to is part of the problem. Factor in the that most of the weight is in the front end compounds the problem as well. So next brake job will come at 40k, right? Not to bad. Sorry got wordy on this. I hope I answered your question. Note: not an expert here just stating from experience.
Cruise on!
