ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE MY DASH LIGHTS/GAUGES WENT CRAZY (ON/OFF,ON/OFF). FINALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THEN IN DEC. I WENT OUT TO START IT & NOTHING, TRIED TO JUMP IT & NOTHING...END UP BUYING NEW BATTERY & IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS MONTH (MAY 10 2012) WAS DRIVING TO AN APPT. & DASH LIGHTS ALL CAME ON & THEN ENGINE QUIT, PULLED OFF ROAD, TURNED KEY TO OFF & BACK ON (CAR STARTED RIGHT UP), NO MORE TROUBLE THAT DAY. MAY 13 2012 DRIVING & DASH LIGHTS WOULD ALL COME ON & THEN GO OFF SEVERAL TIMES, THE ENGINE DIDN'T STOP THIS TIME. WHAT IF I AM ON INTERSTATE AGAIN & IT DOES THIS, INJURING SOMEONE. I'M NOT HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER, THERE IS NO RECALL. MILEAGE IS 71, 200. APPARENTLY PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, YOU JUST SHAKE IT OR TURN KEY OFF/ON IT QUITS. DON'T KAV THE MONEY TO FIX & MECHANIC CAN'T GET IT TO THIS WHEN HE HAS CAR. *JS

2006 PT CRUISER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CRANKSHAFT ISSUES AND VEHICLE REPAIRS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL AND THEREFORE, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 03/13/12. THE CONSUMER WAS CONTACTED AT THE END OF THE DAY AND INFORMED THE CRANKSHAFT HAD RUINED THE ENGINE BLOCK AND NEEDED A SHORT BLOCK REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $4,000-5,000. THE CONSUMER HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT 4,000 WHERE THE CRANKSHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. CHRYSLER APPROVED THE SHORT BLOCK REPLACEMENT, BUT THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY A CO-PAY. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER ON 03/21/12 AND WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. HOWEVER, UPON ARRIVAL THE NEXT DAY, THE ONLY THING THAT WAS REPLACED, WAS THE CRANKSHAFT, THE DEALER KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SHORT BLOCK. THE CONSUMER WAS ASSURED THE BLOCK WAS NOT DAMAGED, EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY THE BLOCK WAS DAMAGED. *JB

STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER W/AUTOMATIC TRANS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INC. THE 4 CYL ENGINE IN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY FAILED 3 SEPSRASTE TIMES, TWICE LAST YEAR, AND 1 TIME SO FAR THIS YEAR WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THIS CONDITION CAUSES THE AIR BAG TO NOT DEPLOY; EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL AS ALL POWER ASSIST SYSTEMS SUCH AS STEERING AND BREAKS, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES TO FAIL. I CONTACTED THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DEALER AS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART, AS WAS I ABLE EACH TIME PREVIOUS, GIVEN I EXPERIENCED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST WEEK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DIAGNOSTIC TEST YIELDED NOTHING WHICH COULD ACCOUNT FOR THE VEHICLE COMPLETE OPERATIONAL SHUT-DOWN. I WAS ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS, OR WARRANTY, AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURERS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO ADVISE THEM. THE CUSTOMER CASE MANAGER INDICATED THERE WOULD BE NO ASSISTANCE FORTHCOMING AS THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SHOWED NOTHING CONCLUSIVE. THE LATEST FALURE MILEASE WAS 72,000.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY
THE NHTSA HAS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL CAMPAIGN #07V149000 REGARDING THE QUARTER GLASS ON CERTAIN PT CRUISERS SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, ONE OF THE QUARTER WINDOWS ON MY PT CRUISER WOULD LEAK WHILE DURING A RAIN OR GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH. WHILE I HAD THE VEHICLE AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BODY SHOP FOR SOME MINOR PAINT WORK, I HAD THEM LOOK AT THE WINDOW LEAK. THEY REMOVED THE WINDOW AND DISCOVERED THAT (2) OF THE (5) MOUNTING STUDS THAT SECURE THE GLASS TO THE VEHICLE BODY WERE PULLING LOOSE FROM THE MOLDING AROUND THE WINDOW. THE GLASS HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH COST ME $350. I HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS EXPENSE. CHRYSLER CORPORATION DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT STATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AS THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE, AND THIS WINDOW BEING A NON-MOVABLE PIECE OF GLASS, THERE IS NOTHING THAT I CAN DO DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE GLASS MOUNTS TO FAIL. THE ONLY OTHER WAY THAT THE MOUNTS CAN FAIL IS FROM A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OR INSTALLATION ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE JUST ONE MONTH OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL PERIOD. HOW CAN CHRYSLER CORPORATION BE SO SURE THAT ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS WERE REMOVED FROM THEIR ASSEMBLY PLANTS, AND DID NOT MAKE IT ONTO MY VEHICLE? IF THE GLASS SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR INJURY TO A PEDESTRIAN. I MAINTAIN THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD EXPAND THE EXISTING RECALL AND REPLACE POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE QUARTER WINDOWS ON OTHER PT CRUISERS. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WON'T RELEASE TO ME INFORMATION ON HOW THEY CHANGED THE WINDOW DESIGN OR INSTALLATION PROCESS OF THE QUARTER WINDOWS, STATING, "...THE INFORMATION YOU ARE IS SEEKING IS EITHER UNAVAILABLE CONSIDERED PROPRIETARY; THEREFORE, WE ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST THIS CUSTOMER WITH THEIR REQUEST." *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE
I WENT IN TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2012 FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE AN ENGINE MOUNT. I HAD TO REPLACE ON IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010 AND I WAS QUITE SHOCKED THAT I WAS FACED WITH THIS REPAID AGAIN. IT WAS A DIFFERENT MOUNT THIS TIME. SO I ASKED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING. I AM 57 YEARS OLD AND IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO ANY ONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS SOMEWHAT OF A DESIGN FLAW IN THE PT CRUISER AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR DEALER PERFORMS 20 TO 30 LIKE REPAIRS A WEEK.. THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE. I CHECKED ON LINE AND SURE ENOUGH, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT PT CRUISER ENGINE MOUNTS. WHAT CAN BE DONE? IT IS NOT FAIR THAT CHRYSLER CAN SELL A PRODUCT LIKE THIS - KNOWING THAT THERE ARE ISSUES - AND KEEP RAKING IN MONEY FOR THE REPAIRS. SHOULDN'T THEY BE HELD TO SOME KIND OF STANDARD? THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER, FOR SURE. IT IS A MORAL ONE AS WELL. *TR

WIFE LEFT HOUSE AT 4:45PM (NEAR DUSK) DURING RAIN. SHE GOT 2 1/2 MILES AWAY, PHONED AND SAID WIPERS ON 2006 PT CRUISER HAD STOPPED WORKING. WENT TO MEET HER ON SIDE OF ROAD AND DROVE CAR BACK TO HOUSE, HER IN FRONT OF ME WITH OUR FLASHERS ON, WHILE THE RAIN HAD SLACKED, BUT NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE WIPERS WILL COME ON VERY SLOWLY AND EVENTUALLY STOP, IF I JIGGLE THE WIPER CONTROL AND TURN SIGNAL AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I DO BELIEVE THIS WARRANTS A RECALL, AS THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS OR DEADLY ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IT TAKES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS CAR TO A MECHANIC YET AS WE HAVE OUR OLD FORD PICKUP TO DRIVE ON RAINY DAYS, THANK GOD!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BY OPENING THE WINDOW AND THEN THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE DOOR PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT STARTED HARD TIME CRANKING, JERKING, SKIPPING AND LOSING POWER DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH. REPLACED PLUGS, WIRES, BATTERY AND CRANK SENSOR NOTHING SEEMED TO FIX IT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THE PT CRUISER AND ON SEVERAL WEBSITES FOUND IT WAS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM HERE IS THE RESULT OF ONE OF THE SEARCHES: I RAN INTO THAT PROBLEM WITH A CUSTOMER'S PT CRUISER THE SAME YEAR AS YOURS. WHAT I FOUND BY ACCIDENT DURING DIAGNOSIS WAS THE CONNECTORS TERMINALS THAT PLUG INTO THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE LOSE TERMINAL TENSION CAUSING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONCERNS. THE WAY I FOUND IT WAS BY WIGGLING THE WIRING HARNESSES THAT GO UP UNDERNEATH THE MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM TO SHOW UP. I HAD TO DISSEMBLE THE CONNECTORS AND RE TENSION THE TERMINALS. THE TERMINALS ARE KIND OF DINKY ON THOSE AND IT WOULDN'T TAKE MANY PLUGGING AND UN-PLUGGING OF THE CONNECTORS TO CAUSE THE TERMINAL TO LOSE TENSION. NO FIX IS LISTED ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE OR ANYWHERE YET THERE A NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16YR OLD (NOW 17) NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL NOW. WHEN GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IT WENT FROM 65 TO 25 AND SHE WAS SCARED SENSELESS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. NOW THE CAR DOES IT WE PUSH THE PLUGS BACK IN RUNS FINE THEN WHEN THE CAR IS RAN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME IT DOES IT AGAIN. PUSH THE PLUGS BACK IN RUNS FINE SO I DO KNOW IF IT IS THIS PART I HOPE FOR A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT FROM THE LOSS OF POWER SO ABRUPTLY. WEBSITES I REFERRED TO: CARJUNKIE.COM, ASK.COM, CHRYSLER.COM, GOOGLE.COM SEAR FOR 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. *KB
