CarComplaints.com Notes: Chrysler has taken the boring small car frame of the Neon, grafted a 1930s-era roadster body on top and named it the PT Cruiser. While the new look may appeal to some, the vehicle has unfortunately also inherited many of the same problems as the Neon.

PT Cruiser Limited Edition 2.4L

My Transmission won't shift out of second. It happened about three years ago with less than 50,000 m. The dealership replaced the module? I drove it two days and back to the shop for a sensor? SURE! Two costs with one transmission. Now it is happening again at 130,000 miles. Just broke in good right? I am the only one who has ever driven this car. I have serviced it regularly and now I am stranded. Nobody will touch the transmission but the dealership?

I was unable to shift out of low gear and the dealership was less than helpful in diagnosing it and then it was very expensive... my car is low mileage and I don't abuse it at all. I believe this was something that should not have happened!
