MY FRONT WINDSHILD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT INTO THE CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP, JACKSON MI AND FOUND THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF $906. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHRYSLERS. IT IS AT THE DEALER GETTING REPAIRED. I FEEL A RECALL OF THIS IS NEEDED. IF YOU ARE OUT DRIVING AND THE WIPERS GO OUT YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE. JUST LUCKY WE WERE IN TOWN AND NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. *TR

THERE IS A SHORT JUMPER FUEL LINE (PLASTIC) THAT CONNECTS THE MAIN FUEL LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE TANK UP TO THE FIRE WALL WITH THE FUEL RAIL. THIS LINE LEAKS FUEL WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN LINE. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO LEAK. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS LINE IS ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE TURBO OR EXHAUST AND ON A RIGHT HAND TURN COULD DRIP ON TO THE TURBO OR EXHAUST AND IGNITE. ALSO IF SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH THE A/C OR HEATER ON IT MUST BE KEPT IN RECIRCULATE OR THE SMELL OF FUEL ENTERS THE CABIN. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM A ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN AND BESIDES OWNING A PT CRUISER HAVE WORKED ON SEVERAL OTHERS AND ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS THIS PROBLEM WHETHER IT IS A TURBO ENGINE OR NOT. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. I AM PRETTY CERTAIN IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE EXPERIENCES AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ANYONE OWNING A PT CRUISER SHOULD HAVE THIS LINE INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT IS LEAKING AND IF SO FILE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. IT IS VERY EASY TO SPOT AS THE LINE WILL APPEAR WET OR COVERED IN MOIST DIRT AT THE CONNECTOR. ALSO WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING THERE WILL BE A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FOR THOSE LIKE MYSELF THAT ALSO DETEST THE LOUSY FUEL ECONOMY THIS CAR GETS, THE FUEL LEAK MENTIONED ABOVE IS SURELY A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME THE MOST IS THAT IF YOU ASK ANY CHRYSLER DEALER (ASK THE TECH) THEY WILL TELL YOU THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO THERE IS NO DOUBT CHRYSLER IS AWARE. I GUESS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DIE OR SUFFER SEVERE INJURY BEFORE CHRYSLER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 NORTH IN THE VICINITY OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND; I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON, BUT BECAUSE MY BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND, I HAD TO COAST APPROXIMATELY A MILE BEFORE MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY STOPPED. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I ALSO HAD MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. AFTER STOPPING, I TRIED TO CRANK THE VEHICLE AND GOT NOTHING. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T BUDGE. QUITE FRANKLY, I FEEL FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE GIVEN THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED A REPAIR SHOP. AT FIRST THEY WEREN'T GETTING ANY DIAGNOSTIC READINGS, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED FUEL PUMP. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED THE NEXT DAY, AND ALTHOUGH I DID NOT DRIVE VERY FAR, THE CAR RAN FINE. THE DAY AFTER THAT, I COULDN'T CRANK THE CAR. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL 19 NOVEMBER 2012. I DROVE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, DROVE BACK HOME, AND WENT INSIDE FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT AND TRIED TO CRANK MY CAR, IT DIED AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TRIED TWO MORE TIMES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ON MY LAST ATTEMPT I HEARD A WHIRRING SOUND BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURNOVER. I TRIED TO JUMP THE BATTERY, AND THEY DIDN'T WORK EITHER. I SPENT 20 MINUTES TRYING TO CRANK IT. MY WIFE TRIED LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THE SAME POOR RESULTS. *TR
