2007 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IS NOT TURNING ON THE LOW SPEED FAN RESULTING IN OVERHEATING OF A/C COOLANT WHICH IN TURN INCREASES PRESSURE IN A/C SYSTEM AND TOTAL EVACUATION OF SYSTEM COOLANT, A REAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. THE INCREASE IN OPERATING TEMPERATURE ALSO INCREASES LOAD ON ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM AND THREATENS TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. MA 10/2 THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. UPDATED 12/28/2015 *JS

I DRIVE A 2007 T CRUISER AND HAVE ON AND OFF AGAIN ISSUES WITH MY CENTER DASHBOARD LIGHTS COMING ON AND GAUGES GOING UP AND DOWN. ENGINE ALMOST STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH WIRING, GROUNDING, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, SWITCHES, ETC. HAPPENS AT ANY TIME. WILL BE FINE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN IT WILL START TO DO IT AGAIN. THIS TAKES PLACE SITTING STILL AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CHRYSLER BETTER TAKE NOTE AND FIGURE THIS OUT OR THEY WILL HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH GM. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS; HOW IS IT NO ONE IS CONCERNED? SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. UPDATED 09/22/14*LJ UPDATED 2/23/15 *JS

I AM FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, THE CAR NOT WANTED TO ACCELERATE, FEELING LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ONE TIME IT DID STALL IN TRAFFIC HOWEVER, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES GO OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL CAR PLACES AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS, FROM 20 - 60 MILES PER HOUR, LOCAL ROAD TO HIGHWAYS, WARM DAYS, COOL DAYS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. IT IS HARD TO PREDICT WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN BUT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS AND PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR

WE WERE COMING TO A STOP AND THERE WAS A POP UNDER THE HOOD THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, AND THEN STARTED RIGHT BACK UP SINCE THAT INCIDENT OUR LIGHTS CONTIUNOUSLY BLINK INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR AND OUR RADIO HAS A MIND OF ITSD OWN IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO... WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE POSTS WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR... WE HAVE HAD IT TESTED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM... *TR

THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN JUST STOPS WORKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND WINDSHIELD SPRAY. THE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW AND THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. IT EITHER FAILS TOTALLY OR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT'S RAINING - IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

IWAS DRIVING AND ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY FROM AN ON RAMP WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HEARD A DING SOUND. I TRIED TO EXCELLERATE AND COULD NOT GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR WITH OUT THE CAR SPUTTERING AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP AND PRECEDED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE ON THE SAME CAR A MONTH PRIOR. I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM CARMAX JUST 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY HAD 44,000.THE TECH SAID IT WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING MINOR. WHEN HE CALLED TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG IT WAS NOT MINOR. THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS HAD GONE OUT. AT THE TUNE OF $491.00 TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE OPERATIONS MANAGER AT CARMAX AND ALL HE WANTED TO SAY WAS THANK GOODNESS I HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT WOULD ONLY BE $300.00 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. I SAW THAT THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MORE PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THESE CARS (PT CRUISERS) HAVE MANY PROBLEMS AND THAT SOMETHING IS ALWAYS GOING WRONG WITH THEM. I WISH I HAD NEVER GOTTEN THIS TYPE OF VECHILE NOW!!! I AM STUCK WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE I CANNOT TRADE IT IN, I WOULD BE UPSIDE DOWN. HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT HAVE THE OIL PROBLEMS THAT ALL THE OTHERS HAVE HAD. IF I HAD KNOWN THEY WERE BUILT IN MEXICO I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BUYING IT.

2007 PT CRUISER,55000 MILES. BURST INTO INTENSE FLAMES WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF A STORE. FIRE INVESTIGATORS DECLARED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT STARTED FIRE. THIS CAR WAS TOTALED,PRODUCT DEFECT DIVISION OF CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THERE IS NO CHRYSLER DEFECT COVERED WITH THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY OR CERTIFIED USED CAR WARRANTY. HOWEVER FIRE MARSHALL'S REPORT STATES THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS WHICH CAUSED THE FIRE. IF CHRYSLER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE WIRING IN THEIR CERTIFIED AND GUARANTEED CARS,THEN WHO IS? *LN
