2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

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

I HAVE A CROURSER PT TURBO IN 2006 WHEN IT BEGAN THE INSTALLATION OF DEFECTIVE TIPM AND COMES FROM ERRATIC IN DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS: 1 - DOES NOT CHANGE SPEED BOX, ABLE TO RANDOM START, WHEN I TURN OFF FROM NEUTRAL (N) SOMETIMES CORRECTS THE PROBLEM AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND THEN IS REPEATED EITHER ON OTHER OCCASIONS. 2. ALSO NOT START ON SOME OCCASIONS. 3 SLATE IN OPPORTUNITIES DOES NOT INDICATE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE OR INDICATED INCORRECTLY AND ALSO LEAVES DIAL SPEEDOMETER. 4. THE SPEED OF THE FAN MOTOR DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE MOTOR INCREASES AND IS OVER HEATS UP TO THE POINT THAT YOU MUST STOP IT. 5 AIR CONDITIONING SOMETIMES WILL NOT COOL AND I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN. I'VE SPENT ON MECHANICS SOME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WITHOUT RESOLVE THE SITUATION, UNTIL A MECHANIC FRIEND INFORMED ME THAT THE MODELS FROM 2006 THAT HAVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE

JUST BOUGHT THIS FROM 1ST OWNER AND SO DISAPPOINTED AT CHRYSLER, HAD IT ON WEEK AND NEEDS BATTERY. 1ST OWNER GOT NEW 5YR BATTERY 3 MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS A PRO RATED FOR ANOTHER BATTERY. I SEE 9 PAGES ON WEBSITE FOR PT OWNERS WITH SAME BATTERY DRAINAGE PROBS AND THAT JUST ONE SITE. I AM A 61YR OLD WITH HEART PROBS AND PACEMAKER AND FINALLY SAVED ENOUGH AFTER DOC BILLS TO GET OUT OF MY 1987 CAR TO A NICE 2006 ONE OWNER, LITTLE LADIES PT CRUISER AND GUESS I WASTED MY MONEY. I KNOW THIS PROB HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE! I AM HOPING AT LEAST U OR CHRYSLER CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY 1987 FOR YRS AND YRS WITH HARDLY EVER A PROB AND I REALLY THOUGHT I COULD COUNT ON A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR
