CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 is the worst year for PT Cruiser engine complaints. Having an engine light on is annoying, but it's the complaints about the engine shutting-off while driving that really have us concerned.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser, base model, automatic transmission. 107,000 miles.
P0562 Battery/System voltage low
P0700 Transmission control system MIL request.
P0750 LR Solenoid circuit (the shift solenoid has been changed)
The transmission and main computer have added external grounds going to the negative battery post.
I switched out the TIPM with a used unit bought on line. It made no difference whatsoever. (Did I switch it with a unit with the same issue unknowingly?)
Somedays it will run fine all day, other days it will start out in limp mode and if you turn the key off and on at a traffic it will shift normally. The "tell" is in the shift indicator in the tachometer. When all four letter squares light up, it's about to go into limp mode.
I'm open to ideas if anyone has a reliable fix. Hotwiring the TIPM with an external relay doesn't count.
Thanks in advance.
