What owners wrote
Right front wheel bearing is bad after only 20,000 miles on my pt cruiser. I have just read 65 complaints for the same problem on [link removed] how many people have to have the problem before a recall is done on this. This is crazy!
Wheel vibration and loose steering then grinding noise; found both front wheel bearing bad on 2005 chrysler pt cruiser - mileage is 15, 600; waiting for repair at dealer - estimate of $500 - $600 to repair plus alignment costs.
