ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER P.T. TIME AFTER TIME ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ONE, SOMETIMES ENGINE DIES. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RE-START IN MOTION, BUT WHEN WILL THIS BECOME DISASTEROUS? PER INTERNET, HUNDREDS OF FOLKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, YET CHRYSLER NOR NHSTB DOES ZILCH. DEALER HAS NO CLUE AFTER DOING DIAGNOSTIC. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. SO MUCH FOR GOVERNMENT GIVING A S---! THIS WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYTIME THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
JUST LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING CRAZY WITH LIGHTS FLASHING, AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T SHIFT AND GO ABOVE 40MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND PCM. THIS COST ME $1200. IT STOPPED FOR A BIT, THEN STARTED AGAIN A MONTH OR TWO LATER WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS AND A NEW PCM (WHICH THEY SAID THEY CHANGED, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT). IT IS NOW BACK THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I'M NOW ON THE 4TH DAY IT'S THERE AND I'M GETTING NO ANSWERS, JUST A BUNCH OF SALES PEOPLE CALLING. IF THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WHY HASN'T THIS VEHICLE BEEN RECALLED? THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I HAVE CHILDREN THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS FAULTY. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. BULBS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW, TESTED AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL BULBS, BUT THIS HAS NOT RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE, AS THE CAR ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL NOT FIRE UP. I WILL LEAVE IT, AND TRY LATER, AND THE CAR WILL SUBSEQUENTLY START. THIS STARTING TROUBLE IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH TIPM PROBLEMS, BUT I DID NOT SEE PT CRUISER OWNERS INCLUDED WITHIN THOSE ACTIONS. HAVING RESEARCHED THE MATTER, I SEE THAT MANY OTHER PT CRUISER OWNERS LIKE MYSELF ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AS A RESULT OF FAULTY TIPMS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHERE THE FUEL LINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN FUEL LINE FROM THE TANK AT THE FIRE WALL, THERE IS A FUEL DRIP ABOVE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS LINE LEAKS FUEL WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN LINE. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONE TIME ALREADY AND CONTINUES TO LEAK. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS LINE IS ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE TURBO OR EXHAUST AND ON A RIGHT HAND TURN COULD DRIP ON TO THE TURBO OR EXHAUST AND IGNITE. ALSO IF SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH THE A/C OR HEATER ON IT MUST BE KEPT IN RECIRCULATE OR THE SMELL OF FUEL ENTERS THE CABIN. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. I AM PRETTY CERTAIN IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE EXPERIENCES AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ANYONE OWNING A PT CRUISER SHOULD HAVE THIS LINE INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT IS LEAKING AND IF SO FILE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. IT IS VERY EASY TO SPOT AS THE LINE WILL APPEAR WET OR COVERED IN MOIST DIRT AT THE CONNECTOR. ALSO WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING THERE WILL BE A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL STARTS FLASHING, ALL THE GAGES GO TO ZERO AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, SOMETIMES COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN IT SLOWS, IT SEEMS TO KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. AT TIMES, I HAVE TO PUT TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY COMPLETELY AND TURN OFF ENGINE FOR A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE STARTING IT AGAIN. IT IS HAPPENING SO FREQUENTLY NOW THAT EVEN PULLING OFF TO SHUT IT DOWN FOR AWHILE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T START ACTING UP.. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, ON THE 16TH OF OCTOBER WAS THE LAST TIME I EXPERIENCEDTHE PPROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 IT WAS HARD TO SHIFT AND I KEPT TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON BLANDING BLVD. HERE IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT SHIFTED AND CONSEQUENTLY PUT ME OFF TIL THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTED PERIOD. WELL, MY WIFE HAS NEVER DRIVEN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT SHIFTS AND THE DEALER OF OF 295 HERE IN JAX FOUND THAT THE CLUTCH CABLE WAS BAD, OF COURSE THIS WAS AFTER THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTEE AND NOW THE PT CRUISER HAS BEEN DING THE SAME FOR SOME WHILE. I HAVE DRIVEN A SHIFT SINCE I WAS 16, FROM CORVETTES TO MACH 1'S AND KNOW THEIR IS NOT A CLUTCH PROBLEM. I AM 64 YEARS OLD NOW AND THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S HARD TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR AT ANY TIME. NO CLUTCH OR TRANNY PROBLEM AND CLUTCH CABLE SHOULD BE BAD A SECOND TIME BUT IT IS AND IT'S TOO BAD YOUR ENGINEERS COULD NOT HAVE GIVEN THE MPG MORE ATTENTION AT THE TIME OF BUILD BECAUSE IT HAS SUCKED SINCE NEW. I DON'T EVEN USE THE AC BECAUSE OF GAS GUZZLING, BUT THE CLUTCH CABLE IS MY CONCERN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ALL LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHES ON-OFF. SOMETIMES THE GAUGES WILL ZERO-OUT AND GO BACK TO NORMAL POSITION. SOMETIMES WHEN THE LIGHTS FLASH AND GAUGES ZERO-OUT, THERE WILL BE A QUICK POWER LOSS. MAYBE 2-3% OF THE TIME POWER LOSS WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL ALMOST NEEDED TO PULL OVER. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN THE HEAT AND POSSIBLY RAIN OR DAY AFTER A HEAVY RAIN.

SEAT BELTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALMOST 3 MONTHS AGO, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING. THE GAS GAUGE, THE SPEEDOMETER, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT, AND OTHER LIGHTS, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, FLASHED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM EVEN USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. IN JULY, AFTER SERVICING THE CAR (TUNE-UP) AND WITH MY REPORTING THE CONTINUATION OF THE INTERMITTENT FLASHING, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE AND THEREFORE DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. FOR THAT I PAID $145.00. SOMETIMES WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND THE INDICATORS ARE ACTING CRAZY, THE CAR HAS SLOWED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STOP. ON TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK, THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF COMPLETELY WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND THEN TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO WERE NOT HELPFUL. I HAVE LOOKED ON-LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISER. I AM AFRAID THIS STOPPAGE WILL HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. IF THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, WOULD YOU NOT THINK CHRYSLER WOULD TRY TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. I DO PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN, HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND I DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR UNFRUITFUL DIAGNOSES. I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE - MAYBE THEY WILL TRY TO FIND A "FIX". THANK YOU. *TR.....UPDATED 09-29-15 *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IF YOU INVESTIGATE MY VIN, YOU WILL SEE THAT FROM SOON AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAD A WEIRD PROBLEM WHERE THE GAUGES WOULD GO CRAZY, THE DASH LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP, AND SOMETIMES EXPERIENCE FULL ENGINE SHUT DOWN, IF NOT JUST HAVE AN ACCELERATOR FAIL WHILE DRIVING. FOR YEARS, I KEPT TRYING TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER TO ALLOW THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO DO SO EVEN THOUGH I HAD PHOTOS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IN APPROXIMATELY JULY 2011, I MET SOMEONE WITH A CONVERTIBLE PT CRUISER LIKE MINE AND SHE ASKED IF I HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. I DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM AND SHE SAID HERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SHE SAID THAT A NEW IGNITION SWITCH FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HELP. I WAS THRILLED AND CALLED CHRYSER TO REPORT THAT I HAD FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. I BEGGED AND PLED WITH THEM TO FIX IT BUT THE BEST THAT THEY COULD PROMISE WAS THAT IF THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF ASSESSING THE PROBLEM ($200+ FOR ASSESSMENT), BUT NOT FOR MY TIME NOR WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A RENTAL WHILE IT WAS BEING ASSESSED OR FIXED. GIVEN THAT I COULD NOT MISS WORK AND HAD LITTLE FAITH THAT THEY WOULD ADMIT THE PROBLEM WAS THEIRS, I WAS FORCED TO ALLOW THE PROBLEM TO CONTINUE TO EXIST. WHEN THE GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS CAME OUT, I CALLED AGAIN AND EVENTUALLY SOMEONE CONTACTED ME TO HELP AFTER SEVERAL MORE PLEADING CALLS FOR HELP FAILED AND I ESCALATED THE ISSUE. MY IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. I SAY ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS: PLEASE LOOK INTO CONVERTIBLE PT CRUISER IGNITION SWITCHES. THEY ARE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT WAS NEVER RECALLED AND A GOOD NUMBER OF OWNERS REPLACED ON THEIR OWN. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE EVENTUAL FIX, WHEN INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS, CHRYSLER DID NOT ADDRESS THIS CLEAR DANGER AND I ENDURED A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS IN THE INTERIM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
VERY MUCH THE SAME AS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED ON HERE. I KEPT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN AND / OR THE STEERING LOCKING ON ME. STARTED IN SEPTEMBER AND HAD TO "CONTINUALLY" GO BACK TO THE DEALER OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN JUST TO HAVE THEM SAY THEY'VE CHECK THE DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING IS SHOWING UP. THEN NEXT TIME THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY NEEDING A NEW COMPUTER SWITCH....SO MORE $$$. THIS WAS NEVER RESOLVED UNTIL AFTER "MULTIPLE" INCIDENTS & "MULTIPLE" VISITS TO THE DEALER. THEN ONE DAY IN LATE OCTOBER...NOW 2 MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION....I'M IN THE PARKING LOT OF A MALL & THE CAR SLOWS DOWN & THE GAUGES START GOING CRAZY. IT SHOWS ZERO 0 SPEED & ZERO 0 IN MY FUEL TANK.....I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK 2 HOURS EARLIER.....AND THEN IT JUST STOPS. THEN STARTS UP AGAIN BUT WITH A WEIRD SOUND. SO ONCE AGAIN I DROVE "DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER" WHILE TERRIFIED THAT IT MAY JUST STOP DEAD WHILE DRIVING & BE REAR-ENDED. AND AFTER THE DEALER HOOKED IT UP ONCE "AGAIN" THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. SAYING IT WAS THROWING OFF ALL THE COMPUTER MECHANISMS AND THAT'S WHY IT WOULD JUST STOP DEAD WHILE DRIVING. AND THIS WAS $1,400 LATER.....YES, $1,400 FOR THEM TO FINALLY "FIGURE THIS OUT WHEN ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS LOOK ON HERE"....TO SEE THE "STRONG POSSIBILITY" OF WHAT WAS WRONG. AND YES, I SINCERELY THINK CHRYSLER CORP SHOULD REIMBURSE ALL OF US AS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL DESIGN ERROR ON THEIR PART. I'VE HAD A PT CRUISE IN THE PAST. BUT, BELIEVE ME I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER CAR FROM YOUR COMPANY WHEN THIS SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN A RECALL. ESPECIALLY & VASTLY FOR SAFETY REASONS!!! AND AS FOR CHRYSLER, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES....PLAYING DANGEROUS GAMES WITH PEOPLES LIVES!!! AND SO SHOULD YOUR DEALERSHIPS....AT LEAST THE DEALER I PAID $1400 !!! *TR
