2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

IN JAN14 MY CAR WOULDN'T START, TOOK TO THE DEALER. APRIL11 IT TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE IT TOOK 4 TIMES TO START THE CAR. WHEN STARTED, WHILE DRIVING THE ELEC PANEL LIGHTS WLD RANDOMLY FLICKER, ENG LIGHT OFTEN. JUL14 CAR BACK AT DEALER, ALL PANEL LIGHTS WLD FLICKER WHILE DRIVING, CAR WLD ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING AND SOUNDING LIKE IN WRONG GEAR AT 35MPH, DIDN'T GET CAR BACK UNTIL AUG08. ONE HOUR LATER, RETURNED CAR TO DEALER CAR STILL ACCELERATED WHILE TRYING TO STOP AT A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION. GOT CAR BACK 2 DAYS LATER. CAR ACCELERATED ON AUG28, CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 30MPH, DASH LIT UP, GAS GAUGE WENT FULL TO EMPTY, CAR LAUNCHED FORWARD AND THEN STARTED ON ITS OWN AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER ON AUG29 AND STILL HAVE NO CAR!!!! TODAY IS SEPT 11TH. EACH TIME THE DEALER WOULD STATE NOTHING IS WRONG AND NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING. THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN NOR RECORD ANYTHING I TOLD THEM ON THE PAPERWORK, THEY CONTINUED TO IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAID. I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THE CAR FIXED AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL THIS LAST TIME THAT I FINALLY GOT A LOANER TO DRIVE (TWO DOOR FIAT). A CASE MANAGER FROM AUBURN HILL, MI AT THE HEADQUARTERS HAS CONTACTED ME, BUT STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!!!!!!!!!! NOW THE DEALER WANTS ME TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR WITH THEM, THOUGH I TOLD THEM THAT IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS. THEY CONTINUOUSLY ACT LIKE THERE IS NO PROBLEM, THOUGH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME THING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP BEFORE PEOPLE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR LIVES LOST. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN NOT BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. AS A RETIRED ASSEMBLY LINE WORKER OF CAR PARTS I FIND IT INTERESTING HOW MY CASE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN HANDLED. THE LACK OF CONCERN, ACCOUNTABILITY, FOLLOW THROUGH AND RESOLUTION IS DONE POORLY. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF, CARS STALLS, BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE FAN WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND IT DRAINS THE CAR BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THAT PART IS GETTING EXPENSIVE AND VERY IRRITATING, BUT THE STALLING OUT AND COMPLETELY DYING, IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET OFF THE ROAD. *TR

THE FIRST TIME IN SEPTEMBER 2013 THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE. I HAD GONE INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WERE ON BUT SOME WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL FLASH ON AND OFF BUT NOT FOR LONG. LAST NIGHT 7/30/2014 I WAS DRIVING, EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I WAS IN A SHOPPING CENTER AND NOT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE AT FIRST THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. WE HAD TO PUSH IT TO SAFETY AND THEN I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME KIND OF CODE OR SOMETHING (NO BUS/5) AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RPM SECTION OF THE PANEL. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE MANUAL ABOUT IT, CALLED AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND IT DIDN'T SHOW UP IN THEIR DATABASE, SO I HAD A FRIEND GOOGLE IT. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SYSTEM AND FUSES. SEVERAL PEOPLE POSTED THIS ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND PT CRUISERS. *TR

GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH AND MOTOR CUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING ALMOST GOT REARENDED FROM THIS HAPPENING. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MANY MECHANICS AND EVEN AN ELECTROL PLACE AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM . IF ANYONE FIGURES OUT THIS PROBLEM PLEASE POST BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILLED I DRIVE IN A MAJOR CITY AND ON THE INTERSTATES AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I CANT AFFORD TO GO OUT ND BUY ANOTHER CAR IF I DID I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY THEY WOULDN'T EITHER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER LIMITED TURBO WITH ONLY 31,262 MILES ON IT THAT STARTED OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BY THE SEAT-BELT LIGHT COMING ON FIRST FOLLOWED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BY ALL OF THE SURROUNDING WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND THE GAUGES ALL DROPPING TO NOTHING. IT REPEATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AN THEN STOPPED AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE OUT OF APPROXIMATELY EVERY THREE TIMES DRIVING IT, DOING THE SAME THING DESCRIBED ABOVE. TODAY ALL THAT CHANGED, NOT ONLY DID THE LIGHTS AND GAUGES GO CRAZY, THE ENGINE DIED REPEATEDLY AS WELL, ALL THIS HAPPENED IN 40 MPH TRAFFIC. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH, I HAD NO CONTROL AND WITH IT HAPPENING AS FAST AS IT WAS I HAD NO WAY OF WARNING THE CARS BEHIND OR BESIDE ME. JUST AS I HAVE SEEN BY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND WITH THE 2006 MODEL THE POST ARE ALL THE SAME ISSUE, ALL HAPPENING IN THE SAME SEQUENCE, ALL TAKING THEIR CARS TO MECHANICS OF ALL TYPES, DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT AND "NOT ONE MECHANIC HAS FOUND A SOLUTION OR EVEN AN IDEA OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING". MY WIFE AND I ARE LIKE MOST I HAVE SEEN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT IN TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY AREN'T IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. WILL BEG CHRYSLER TO HELP US ALL OUT. PLEASE FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR EVEN KILLED. VERY FRUSTRATED TO SAY THE LEAST............. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS ON ENGINE POWER AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,740 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER- THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD ALL LIGHT UP ALONG WITH ALL THE WARNING ALARMS. SOMETIMES THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 30 MPH - 65 MPH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY THEN KICKS BACK ON WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING. I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR WITH NO LUCK OR RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS AS OF YET. I WANT TO GET RID OF THE CAR, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I CAN'T GET IT FIXED IF NO ONE OR CHRYSLER HASN'T MADE THE PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. AFTER A YEAR LONG SEARCH I FOUND 47 OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IF NOT THE VERY SAME ISSUE I'M DEALING WITH. *TR

2006 PT CRUISER, APPROX. 55,000 MILES. FIRST THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON, THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON. ALL MY GAUGES DROP EXCEPT THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN AFTER DROPPING. IT FEELS LIKE POWER IS LOST TO THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS HAPPENING. WITHIN SECONDS, THE WARNING LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE GAUGES STABILIZE AND THINGS ARE NORMAL. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS ONLY ONCE WHILE DRIVING, OTHER DAYS IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES IN A ROW. I AM TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MODEL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR REPAIR THRU CHRYSLER? *TR
