		<description>I have a 2006 PT cruiser, first problem I had, everything quit on me, wind shield wipers, no head lights no turn signals, someone kinda pin pointed out what I can get and he will change it, than they started working again.

Now, at 30 something miles, it stalls on me, twice while driving, another when it was parked.

what can be done with these lemons? I am still paying on it, what do I do, I was soooo proud of my first new car...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr makes me mad</description>

		<description>Hey Chad, sounds close to the problem that i had, my 01 crusier had been running like that at first then one day just shut right down could not get vechile to run past 50 km, so parked and started to troubleshoot, found out that i had 3 cracks in my exhaust manifold, so replaced thinking that this would fix that problem, alas it did not but now i have a good manifold lol. So started troubleshooting again, decided to remove my cat converter and see if that was the problem, so i took it off and found that all the honeycomb in front of the o2 sensor had broken and clogged the cat, so replaced and everything seems to work now. so ya it might be a good idea to check that.</description>

		<description>I am having the same problems as everyone else.  Have replaced cam and crank shaft sensors. Still does it.  During the winter it drives pretty good. Now that it is hot it is really bad.  Bringing it to the fifth mechanic today.  If he happens to remedy this I will post it in all caps to celebrate.</description>

		<description>I have a 2003 PT Cruiser I bought new and around a 100,000 miles it started the same thing, would not run over 2500 rpm (60-65mph). I replaced the coil, cam and crank sensor, plugs (twice), and plug wires. It does seem to be worse when its hot. I thought about cutting the catalitic convertor off and welding a piece of pipe in its place. I do know one thing........I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSTLER!!!</description>

		<description>After a timming belt change at dealer, a no cold idle developed upon pick up. After two weeks of back and forth it turned out to be the IAC (idle air control) which sits on the top of the mainfold. The IAC can get squashed or pushed when they break loose the motor mount and jack up up engine when replacing the timming belt-I think. The connector of the firefall mounted CPU will be damaged also. Ran fine prior to take in....</description>

		<description>This definitely sounds like something on the electrical side. Maybe try what michael mentioned with the plug wires.</description>

		<description>2007 PT Touring Edition 43,000 miles-- Sunday (today is Fri) my check engine light came on and it kind of sputtered/jerked when going around a corner. My hubs looked it over, checked the oil, but couldn&#039;t find anything wrong. The light went out. Tuesday as I was getting on the freeway the light came back on and my car wouldn&#039;t go over 30mph - lots of jerking, bucking. I pulled over, sat for about 10 minutes and got of the highway. My Bro in law checked with a computer what the problem was saying - said the crankshaft. He and my hubs reset it and no problems Wed or Thur. I get in to drive today - 3 blocks from home the light comes on. The bucking/jerking starts again. Wouldn&#039;t go above 35 mph. 

Not sure what to do - call the dealership? I have an extended warranty - but would it be better to just have my hubs replace the cam and crankshaft, as lots of people seem to have this issue...</description>
