I purchased a new 2005 Chrysler, Pt Cruiser. I have experienced rough idling at times. Lately, I am experiencing stalling while driving. I loose all power I can press the gas pedal to the floor and it does nothing then in a few seconds it will go. At stops it will almost go dead. I looked on the web site and saw a lot of complaints filed with my problems. I feel a recall should be done before someone is badly injured because their Pt Cruiser stalls while driving! below are the odi id numbers: 10102249, 10126616, 10138986, and 10163025. Thank you.
