(reported on)PT Cruiser Limited 4 cyl
- Automatic transmission
- 29,000 miles
My 2004 Turbo limited edition PT Cruiser at 29,000 miles stopped while we were driving at an intersection. Car was towed to nearest Dealership under the warranty, had car two days returned it to us saying all was fixed after charging us $271 for maintenance work that did not need to be done, complete fuel ejection clean up and cleaned gas tank, replaced all the spark plugs and the air filter, which was replaced a short while before. 6 hours later driving the PT Cruiser and no power just glided to stop. Towed to nearest dealership again. Could not find what was wrong. After almost two weeks they said they replaced the power control module. gave us a rental, but Chrysler ended up charging us $100 for 4 days of rental even though the car was not repaired. Got car back. Ran rough and could not get car over 30 miles an hour without RPMs going into red. Took car back to dealer. Said they did not have time to look at it. Chrysler recommended I go back to the dealer I bought it from. They cleaned the turbo. Car ran for about 2 weeks then driving to work -- lost all power and had to glide to a stop. Was only a few blocks from my house and my husband got it started and finally got it to our driveway as Chrysler refused to tow it to the dealership I bought it from because it was not the closest dealership, who had said they fixed it twice. Car locked up cannot now get it out of park. No one wants to tow it unless I pay or let them tow to the dealership where they did not have time to look at it. has anyone else had these types of problems with the 2004 PT Cruiser and what did they do about it. It is obvious to me that I have a lemon.

PT Cruiser
Well, i was driving my car crossing an intersection and i barely mad it b/c the car acted as if it wanted to cut the f*ck off, so i turned the air condition off thinking that that had something to do with it then the engine light started flashing, i read it the book it to where someone can ck it asap.....hell I never mad it b/c the damn car cut the f*ck off......so i had to get it towed to a mechanic, he could not find the problem so I had it towed to the dealer well the claim that they were so busy that i had to wait, i couldn't because i really need my car, so i took it to another mechanic, they couldn't find the problem now i am waiting to take it to another dealer in another town.....they are really booked i am not sure what the damn problem is with these cars but i really think is that hell they don't even know. all i am thinking about doing is calling my finance company and asking if i could just trade this piece sh*t ass car and get me something that won't lose power and have my ass stuck on the side of the road.....and the sad thing about is that the damn car won't even crank up.......and yes the battery, alternator, and starter has been tested.........i am mad
