2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

WE ARE BEING TREATED IN A VERY UNCARING, RACIST, DISCRIMINATORY WAY BY THE GENERAL MANAGER DAN HAMRICK 702-432-2401, AT #LASVEGAS CHAPMAN DODGE #CHRYSLER' @VEGASDCJ 3175 EAST SAHARA LAS VEGAS NV 89104. HE HAS CONSISTENTLY REFUSED TO SEE US. HE HAS NEVER RETURNED OUR CALLS. I WAS EVEN THREATENED WITH GREAT BODILY HARM BY THE SERVICE MANAGER MIKE NICOSIA. I MADE A POLICE REPORT. WE TOOK OUR BEAUTIFUL PT CRUISER INTO LAS VEGAS #CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER ON 10-13-17 BECAUSE THE #ENGINE LIGHT WAS STAYING ON. THEY INSTALLED AN EXPENSIVE 'DEFECTIVE' CHRYSLER #MOPAR TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND AN EXPENSIVE 'DEFECTIVE' MOPAR CHRYSLER POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). BETWEEN 10-13-17 TO 11-21-17 (APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH) I HAD TO RETURN MY CHRYSLER FOR REPAIRS FIVE (5) TIMES & THEY INSTALLED THREE (3) PCMS & TWO (2) TIPMS WHICH WERE NO GOOD!!! MY CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 12-11-17 AND MY CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, AND WE CRASHED!!! THIS WAS ONLY NINETEEN (19) DAYS AFTER MY CAR'S VERY LAST VISIT TO LAS VEGAS CHAPMAN #DODGE CHRYSLER ON 11-21-17. OUR CAR SUSTAINED GREAT BODY DAMAGE. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THANK FATHER GOD NO ONE WAS KILLED!!! WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL WE READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT CHRYSLER'S DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULES PROBLEMS TITLED 'CHRYSLER TIPMS CAUSING POWER PROBLEMS - UPDATED OCTOBER 15, 2016' CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TIPM/. AMAZING!!! THAT ARTICLE LED US TO SIMILAR ARTICLES. THESE ARE THE RECEIPT ORDERS (WORK ORDERS) IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER: #6463649-1, #6464576-1, #6465489-1, #6467298-1, #6467796-1. THE PROBLEMS WERE NEVER REPAIRED AND MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN. I AM CHARGED A TOTAL OF $5,836.75 FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! PEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL- THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM TIMES NOT CHANGE OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I CAN PULL OVER SOMETIMES AND RESTART IT MULTIPLE TIME AND IT WOULD WORK. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO RANDOMLY COME ON NOW. AND THE THERMOMETER SOMETIMES WILL BE BLANK AND SOMETIMES WILL SAY -12 WHEN IT IS 90 DEGREES, AND SOMETIMES IT IS ACCURATE. AND SOMETIMES IT WILL LIGHT UP SAYING I AM IN ALL GEARS, PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, REVERSE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I AM ON THE INTERSTATE, OR GOING UP A HILL AND THIS HAPPENS I CAN'T GO OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT TAKING A CHANCE OF BLOWING MY ENGINE.

LOSES POWER THEN SURGES WHILE DRIVING. LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE THEN IT SUDDENLY SURGES AND DRIVES OK. IT DOESN'T DO IT OFTEN, BUT IT IS SCARY WHEN IT DOES. ALSO, WHEN IT DOES THIS, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON? SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE CLUTCH. HOW CAN THAT BE A CLUTCH ISSUE? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO START LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM? IS BEING GOING FOR MONTH'S NOW...

IDLING IN PARK; SEATBELT LIGHT KEPT DINGING ON; SPEEDOMETER KEPT JUMPING BACK AND FORTH FROM 0-100; IDLING AT TRAFFIC STOP; CAR SHUTTERS LIKE IT WILL CUT OFF; SPEEDOMETER JUMPS AROUND WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING. PCM/TCM REPLACED MULTIPLE TIME; BATTERY LOSES CHARGE FOR NO KNOWN REASON; HAVE HAD PROBLEMS W/ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, PAY FOR SENSORS AND PARTS NEEDED ONLY FOR THE SAME ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS. THERE NEED TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THESE CARS STALLING WITH NO ABILITY TO CONTROL CAR. CHRYSLER KNOWS FULL WELL OF THESE GARBAGE CARS. THAT IS THE REAL REASON THEY DISCONTINUED THEM! SOMEONE NEEDS TI STEP IN. YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WHERE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

ELECTRICAL DASH BOARD, GAUGES - RPM, GAS, TEMP, GO AROUND UP AND DOWN WILDLY CAUSES SUDDEN DECELERATION. ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON, BATTERY, SEAT BELT, OIL, AIR BAG AND GO ON THEN OFF. I HAD THIS HAPPENED 7 YRS AGO AND DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR UNTIL DASH BOARD WAS NOT WORKING. THEN DASH BOARD COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND DASH BOARD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THERE ARE OVER 10 COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTY ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. TODAY I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY TAKE VIDEO/PICTURE OF THE TROUBLE LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. THE DIALS AND LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND AND ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AGAIN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE DASH BOARD WHERE IT SHOWS YOUR MPH BELOW. ALL THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON ENGINE, BATTERY, OIL, AIR BAG, SEATBELT, GAS. ALL WILL FLASH ON INSTANT DECELERATION INSTANT SLOW DOWN. THE DIALS WILL GO UP AND DOWN WILD. OVER 5 YEARS AGO THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REPLACE WHEN THE DASH BOARD STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. FINALLY IT STOPPED WORKING I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. 3 MOTHS AGO IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. FLASHING LIGHTS, ALL DIALS GOING UP, DOWN, AND AROUND. YESTERDAY I HAD SEVERE DECELERATION ON THE FREEWAY. EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNSAFE. I PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER AND DROVE IN THE SLOW LANE. LOOKING/READING ON HERE THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I WROTE A COMPLAINT ON HERE OVER 4 YEARS AGO. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FROM A OUTSIDE PARTY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REMEDY AT CHRYSLER EXPENSE.

TIPM ALREADY REPLACED 1X FOR SAME ISSUES OCCURRING AGAIN NOW, A FEW YEARS LATER AND FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 8 MONTHS FROM THIS POSTING, OCCURRING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND LAST TIME OCCURRING WAS FEB 01, 2016. ALL DASH / ENGINE STATUS LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO REASON, THEN OFF SECONDS LATER, OCCURRING ANYTIME WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. ENGINE STALLS - SPUTTERING, POWER STEERING AND BREAKS FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY DURING THIS TIME, FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WILDLY FLUCTUATES AND SMELL OF GAS IS NOTICEABLE, ALL CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HEAD LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY GO BRIGHT OR DIM FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AS IT DOES NOT STAY BROKE LONG ENOUGH FOR THEIR TECHS TO DIAGNOSE WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 2 FULL DAYS, DESPITE THIS PROBLEM SEEN VISUALLY BY DEALER AND ON VIDEO RECORDING. SUSPECT TIPM / ECM, INTEGRATED VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS AT FAULT. EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSES TO REPLACE WITHOUT A CERTIFIED DIAGNOSIS BY AUTHORIZED REPAIR SHOP. 2ND MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 4 ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT SEVERAL TIMES, MORE THAN 10 MOUNT REPLACEMENTS DURING LIFE OF MY CAR, SO FAR. 3RD MAJOR PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES WILL NOT AUTO SHIFT GEARS IN A TIMELY MANOR, TAKING UP TO 4 SECONDS TO ENGAGE DRIVE OR OTHER FROM PARK SETTING. I HAVE THE ENTIRE LIFE OF VEHICLE PAPERWORK ON ALL REPAIRS AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE FOR THIS CAR. HOPING THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I CAN GET IN ON FOR THIS PROBLEM, SEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON VARIOUS FORUMS LIKE THIS DOT SITE.

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.
