I have a 2002 PT Cruiser. My insurance card says Dream Cruiser but lately its been a little bit of a nightmare. The car drives great as it has for the past 6 years and I still love it. But lately when I apply the brakes the car will begin to stop as usual then all of a sudden it starts to jerk really weird. This only happens when I am braking or sitting there with my foot on the brake at an intersection. Kinda feels like the brakes are catching then letting go, then catching again. Sorry for the weird description, but...So, yesterday the engine light popped on and the fault codes were 1684 and 1924. My husband, after I told him about the engine light, finally took me seriously and looked under the hood this AM.
He found two hoses, one by the manifold and one related to the brakes that had holes in them. Our last trip to the dealership to have the power steering switch replaced ended up being a two week, $1500 ordeal, so he wants to replace these hoses and see if that works before we deal with the dealership again. Any thoughts on this kind of trouble, or anyone out there had it happen to them? THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!
