Automatic Transmission problems of the 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

The contact owns a 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. When attempting to shift gears, the gear shifter became loose and temporarily inoperative. The contact took the vehicle to a transmission expert and a technician stated that the gear box bushings and thrust washers were missing. He took the vehicle to a dealer and they replaced the clutch cables at the cost of $300. In addition, the seat cables to the rear passenger seat failed. He called the manufacturer and left a message. The failure and current mileages were 28,000.

I was driving down I-84 at 65 mph when the transmission locked up, losing all gears except 1st. This caused the car to decelerate rapidly and the car to veer to the right. I managed to get to the off-ramp without incident. The car now needs the transmission rebuilt with only 69,000 miles on it.

The transmission on my 2001 Pt Cruiser let go at 61000 miles. I would think that it would last a lot longer than that!.

My 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser limited edition -- less than 3 years old, after having every required and recommended service at the car dealership -- needed a transmission overhaul on this date. The problem surfaced just past 36,000 miles while I was on vacation in late August, and I initially took it to the dealer on September 3. I was told it was safe to drive the vehicle. But the problem did get worse and I felt uncomfortable driving it, yet I could not get an earlier appointment. A new car, well cared for, should not need its transmission rebuilt just after the manufacturer's warranty runs out.
