2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER Complaints

SOLUTION! SOLUTION! SOLUTION! WE HAD THE SAME TYPES OF PROBLEMS AS THE BELOW PROBLEM ENTRY AND THE FIRST 4 PROBLEM ENTRIES FOLLOWING THIS ONE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED DOWN TO A FAULTY IGNITION KEY CYLINDER. THE METAL CONTACT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CYLINDER WAS DEFORMED, THEREBY CAUSING INTERMITTENT CONTACT. WHEN THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER WAS REPLACED, IT COMPLETELY SOLVED ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND BLINK. ALL GAUGES GO TO 0. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS (NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES) THEN RESTART ALL BY IT'S SELF. I CAN BE PARKED IN THE GARAGE OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. THERE'S ANOTHER VEHICLE IN TOWN LIKE MINE DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS.

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH MY VEHICLE DASH BOARD GAUGE JUST STARTED LIGHTING UP. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED SPENDING AROUND, AND THEN IT JUST SHUT OFF, IT STARTED UP AGAIN, BUT IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT.PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL THING REPLACE ON IT AND IT STILL DOING THE SAME THING, CANT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE GAUGES STARTED TO SPIN THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, GAUGES ON SPEEDOMETER & TACH SPIN AROUND, FYI: COIL HAD BEEN REPLACED ONE YEAR PRIOR.( VEHICLE THEN SHUTS OFF.) THE DEALER PERFORMED COMPLETE INSPECTION OF IGNITION AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. NO PROBLEMS FOUND. REMOVED CYLINDER AGAIN TO INSPECT FOR ANY INTERNAL FAILURE & INTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE OK. REPLACED INJECTOR AS SAFETY MEASURE. REASSEMBLED, DROVE AND NO FURTHER ENGINE LITE FOUND. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION UP UNTIL A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED ON 9/29/14. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROB WITH EXACT SAME CONCERNS AND CODES EITHER DON'T SHOWUP AT THE DEALER OR ARE NOT ACCURATE. AS OF TODAY MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THINGS AND JUST SPENT $2500 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION THAT I FEEL IT NEVER NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I FEEL THE CODES ARE NOT READING PROPERLY. HELP !!! HAVE NO MORE MONEY TO PUT INTO CAR; IT HAS ONLY 29,000 MILES RIGHT NOW. AFRAID I'LL GET REAR-ENDED SO ONLY USE ON SIDE STREETS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FREEWAYS ACCESSIBLE TO ME. PLEASE THIS CAR IS OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION; EITHER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR FIXED AND NO CHARGE AND REIMBURSE ME FOR $$$ SPENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP I DESPERATELY NEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ABOUT 7PM DOING ABOUT 25MPG WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF,WHEN IT SHUT OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE A QUITE SNAP,I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WAS MAKING LIKE A WHIRLING SOUND SO I STOP TRYING TO START IT AND TOWED IT HOME AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A BROKEN TIMING BELT. *TR

THE CARS ELECTRICAL ALL TURNS OFF THE CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF AT ALL TIMES I'VE CHANGED THE TIMING BELT TOTAL POWER INTEGRATION MODULE AND IT STILL DOES THIS. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS STOPPING AT DIFFERENT TIMES AT INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HWY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 40 MILES THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AS IF THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING. *TGW THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *JB

ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND BLINK. ALL GAUGES GO TO 0. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS (NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES) THEN RESTART ALL BY IT'S SELF. I CAN BE PARKED IN THE GARAGE OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. THERE'S ANOTHER VEHICLE IN TOWN LIKE MINE DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE INDICATOR PANEL LIGHTS COME ON WITH THE BELL TONE SOUND AND ALL GAUGES GO TO ZERO AND LOSES POWER AND STALLS. WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR THE MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 24TH WAS THE MOST CURRENT INCIDENT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION BUT AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE ELECTRICAL AND REQUIRED THE PCM MODULE AND THE INTEGRATED POWER BOX TO BE REPLACED. AFTER INVESTING 2K BY THE END OF THIS ORDEAL I DO NOT FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN THE CHRYSLER PRODUCT. NOT ASSURED THAT THIS IS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER READING ALL THE RESEARCH AND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN A REPLACEMENT PART WAS SENT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER IT TOO WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOUR MORE DAYS FOR MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED. WHAT POOR QUALITY CONTROL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR
