What owners report
PT CRUISER PCM FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS USED 2/18. CAR LOSING ITS TURBO POWER, GAS CONSUMPTION AND MILAGE HORRIBLE. 5MILES/GALLON. O2 SENSORS REPLACED 6/18. REPLACED BATTERY 7/18. CAR HAD BEEN AND CONTINUED TO HAVE HARD STARTING SINCE 6/18. OFTEN IT WOULD TAKE 2 ATTEMPTS TO START IGNITION. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR FAILURE CODES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. 10/18 DRIVING 40MPH LARGE BUSY CITY STREET, GOING STRAIGHT, WITH NO WARNING THE CAR FAILED. 40MPH TO SUDDEN SLOW ROLL ENGINE FAILED. LOST POWER STEERING. RADIO STAYED ON. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT NOT FULLY OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE. CITY BUS ALMOST STRUCK MY CAR. NORMALLY A MOVE LIKE THAT INCLUDES BRAKE LIGHTS OR SIGNALING. THAT WAS NOT AVAI
CAR IN MOTION, ALL LIGHTS CAME ON , LOST POWER, WAS NEARLY HIT FROM CAR BEHIND ME.
POWER STEERING LEAKING, TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALER . THE DEALER DID NOT TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING . THE DEALER TOLD ME TO BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.
JUST LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING CRAZY WITH LIGHTS FLASHING, AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T SHIFT AND GO ABOVE 40MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND PCM. THIS COST ME $1200. IT STOPPED FOR A BIT, THEN STARTED AGAIN A MONTH OR TWO LATER WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS AND A NEW PCM (WHICH THEY SAID THEY CHANGED, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT). IT IS NOW BACK THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I'M NOW ON THE 4TH DAY IT'S THERE AND I'M GETTING NO ANSWERS, JUST A BUNCH OF SALES PEOPLE CALLING. IF THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WHY HASN'T THIS VEHICLE BEEN RECALLED? THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS
WHERE THE FUEL LINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN FUEL LINE FROM THE TANK AT THE FIRE WALL, THERE IS A FUEL DRIP ABOVE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS LINE LEAKS FUEL WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN LINE. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONE TIME ALREADY 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. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. I AM PRETTY CERTAIN IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TI
