2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

WHEN DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON DASH WILL COME ON, GAUGES WILL GO OFF AND ON, AND THE ENGINE HAS DIED IN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES. THE TIME IT DIES WHILE DRIVING IS SCARIEST PART IT HAS SO FAR RESTARTED AFTER GETTING OFF ROAD. AFRAID WHEN SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE THEY WILL HIT US OR I HIT THEM AS I TRAVEL ON THE FRWY 120 MILES A DAY. MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THIS GO ON. CHRYSLER FIX THIS OR I WILL HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. SHOULD FIX BEFORE CUSTOMERS ARE KILLED! THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 90,000 MILES IT HAS 132,000 NOW I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WAS WRONG. ENGINE DIED AND RESTARTED TODAY ON THE FREEWAY 3/2/16.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE OIL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT CRANK SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

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.

I WAS ENTERING HIGHWAY AND I STEPPED ON THE EXCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 45MPH AND STARTED TO STALL ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THERE WAS A SEMI TRUCK GOING 70 MPH COMMING FROM BEHIND ALMOST REAR ENDED ME I HAVE NOW HAD TO CHANGE 4 SENSORS IN THIS VEHICAL NOW JUST RECENTLY MY HUSBAND HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETLY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING.,
