TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLUCTUATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

IDLING IN PARK; SEATBELT LIGHT KEPT DINGING ON; SPEEDOMETER KEPT JUMPING BACK AND FORTH FROM 0-100; IDLING AT TRAFFIC STOP; CAR SHUTTERS LIKE IT WILL CUT OFF; SPEEDOMETER JUMPS AROUND WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING. PCM/TCM REPLACED MULTIPLE TIME; BATTERY LOSES CHARGE FOR NO KNOWN REASON; HAVE HAD PROBLEMS W/ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, PAY FOR SENSORS AND PARTS NEEDED ONLY FOR THE SAME ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS. THERE NEED TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THESE CARS STALLING WITH NO ABILITY TO CONTROL CAR. CHRYSLER KNOWS FULL WELL OF THESE GARBAGE CARS. THAT IS THE REAL REASON THEY DISCONTINUED THEM! SOMEONE NEEDS TI STEP IN. YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WHERE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE GAUGE LIGHTS FLASH AND BELLS DING, AND THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATED WILDLY. HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. SO FAR, IT HAS STOPPED DOING THAT PRETTY QUICKLY. THE LAST TIME, I DID NOTICE THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A SLIGHT WHISHY NOISE AND SEEMED LIKE THE POWER WAS WEAK. IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES THAT THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER I TURNED IT OFF. THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT HAS TO BE JIGGLED A LITTLE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ALL THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAGE WAS DECREASING INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE RPM WAS DECREASING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ELECTRICAL DASH BOARD, GAUGES - RPM, GAS, TEMP, GO AROUND UP AND DOWN WILDLY CAUSES SUDDEN DECELERATION. ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON, BATTERY, SEAT BELT, OIL, AIR BAG AND GO ON THEN OFF. I HAD THIS HAPPENED 7 YRS AGO AND DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR UNTIL DASH BOARD WAS NOT WORKING. THEN DASH BOARD COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND DASH BOARD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THERE ARE OVER 10 COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTY ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. TODAY I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY TAKE VIDEO/PICTURE OF THE TROUBLE LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. THE DIALS AND LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND AND ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AGAIN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE DASH BOARD WHERE IT SHOWS YOUR MPH BELOW. ALL THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON ENGINE, BATTERY, OIL, AIR BAG, SEATBELT, GAS. ALL WILL FLASH ON INSTANT DECELERATION INSTANT SLOW DOWN. THE DIALS WILL GO UP AND DOWN WILD. OVER 5 YEARS AGO THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REPLACE WHEN THE DASH BOARD STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. FINALLY IT STOPPED WORKING I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. 3 MOTHS AGO IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. FLASHING LIGHTS, ALL DIALS GOING UP, DOWN, AND AROUND. YESTERDAY I HAD SEVERE DECELERATION ON THE FREEWAY. EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNSAFE. I PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER AND DROVE IN THE SLOW LANE. LOOKING/READING ON HERE THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I WROTE A COMPLAINT ON HERE OVER 4 YEARS AGO. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FROM A OUTSIDE PARTY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REMEDY AT CHRYSLER EXPENSE.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ALL THE GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON,GAS GAUGE NEEDLE WENT TO E(TANK WAS FULL), LOST POWER AS I WAS DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE...AGAIN! A WEEK LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO WORK ACROSS ALL 3 SHIFTS, I AM FRIGHTEN TO DRIVE MY CAR, I OFTEN HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH. THEY WERE IN THE CAR MARCH 25,2016 WHEN THE CAR BEGAN BUCKING AND JERKING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING HOME. I WAS ON A STREET DOING 45 MPH, WHEN THE CARS SPEED DROPPED TO 5 MPH. I WAS IMPEDING TRAFFIC, AND CARS WERE PASSING ME ON CURVES! I WAS ON ANOTHER SITE AND SEE 93 OTHER COMPLAINTS, FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THINKING THERE WILL NEED TO BE A LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE CHRYSLER CORP. DOES SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.

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.
