2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Other or unknown Problems

“My car is hanging up in a lower gear may gear 2 and the engine is raising. The engine light is on. It has done this a few times while driving the car. Sometimes the engine light goes off and it runs like a great vehicle but then it will hang up and get stuck in a lower gear! I have been driving inner city when this happens and afraid to take it on the highway.”

“Loses power then surges while driving. Like it is going to die then it suddenly surges and drives ok. It doesn't do it often, but it is scary when it does. Also, when it does this, my check engine light will come on? Someone told me this could be related to the clutch. How can that be a clutch issue? Can someone please tell me where to start looking for the problem? Is being going for month's now...”

“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! …”

“For about a year now,my car's dash lights will all illiminate on and off irratically and gaugues fluctuating up and down simultaneously. Often but not always,the car will stall and die when this happens. Other times I can feel a loss of power. In febuary I had my battery corrosion cleaned up,terminals replaced and tightened. For about four months afterwards it never happened again. It's almost as if the voltage is unstable..like it's being choked off. Car battery light sometimes is on..othertimes it's off and has been that way for years. Car has about 121,000 miles.”

“My car was idling and than I drove it home on a city street in our neighborhood. About 4 minutes away from my house. Dling 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! Something needs to be done to fix this issue. …”
