“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.

For years, I kept trying to work with Chrysler to allow them to diagnose and fix the issue and they were never able to do so even though I had photos of what was happening. In approximately july 2011, I met someone with a convertible pt cruiser like mine and she asked if I had any issues with my car. …”
