The tipm (the computer that maintains the whole car) is bad and needs to be replaced in an almost 10 year old vehicle bought new in 2008 with only 25,000 miles on it. It is sending bad signals to the wipers so I cannot drive it in bad weather. Although thre is a powertrain for life warranty, Chrysler refuses to replace the tipm. I was driving in heavy morning traffic it was snowing and the wipers stuck in the middle of the car causing me to be unable to see posing a danger to myself and others. The car also stopped dead in traffic on me a couple of times and there was nothing wrong with the battery I took it to the shop and they found nothing.

Whilst driving on the freeway my rear driver's side visibility window flew off of my car and nearly hit the vehicle driving in the fast lane to my immediate left at 65mph. They had to swerve to avoid a collision with it. I stopped on the side of the road and picked it up.

Rear quarter window is popping out, it is leaking and has a gap align the top I have duct taped it in place to prevent it from coming out.

While driving down interstate 95 the left rear quarter window separated from my car. I very thankful another car was not following closing. That would have been ugly. Chrysler had a previous recall on this problem but they said my VIN was not included in the recall. Reference: NHTSA identification number 07v-149.

While driving I noticed rattling noises coming from the rear of the vehicle and excessive road noise in the passenger compartment coming from the back. After a rainy day I observed puddles of water behind the rear seats. Upon investigating I found that the fixed rear quarter windows were no longer properly attached to the body of the vehicle. I learned that a recall was performed on this vehicle back in 2007 (NHTSA campaign number: 07v149000) I called Chrysler and they verified that the recall had been performed on this vehicle in may of 2007. It would appear that the fix is not effective, and frankly I am not surprised. Expecting plastic to maintain integrity long term under tension is foolish. It should be possible to use a more permanent, flexible adhesive (e. G. Rtv) to seal the window to the body of the vehicle and eliminate the possibility of the window mounting bolt failure causing the windows to detach from the vehicle.

"takata recall " in my Pt Cruiser the engine dropped down in the car and the front axle bar and frame was broken and the wheels could not turn or control the car I am lucky to be alive the vehicle was in motion on a city street trying to turn into a ice cream shop the car is still doing a sudden jerking when driven and after paying a lot of money to get it started and fixed I am still having problems with this car and no money to get another.

While driving yesterday, the left rear quarter window fell out. Chrysler had a recall no. G01 for this problem, and I was told by the Chrysler rep that the windows on this vehicle had been replaced under the recall and they could do nothing for me. The repair was not done properly or the window would have not separated from the vehicle, as vehicles should not have windows falling out of them driving down the road. I feel that Chrysler did not properly address this safety issue. Note: I am an agent for the vehicle owner, she is an elderly person residing in assisted living. Her name is eileen hinrichsen.

The problem I have been having with the air bag light of my 2005 pt convertible cruiser has been going on for 7 years and 6 attempts to fix it. Chrysler customer care service has authorized the napleton dealership in lake park, florida, to fix the problem with the air bag light twice: once in September 2012, and most recently in may 2014. The service department performs the same replacement of the harness buckle apparatus each time, but that is clearly not the underlying reason that the air bag light comes on after every attempt to fix it. After the fourth attempt to fix it failed by a different dealership in tallahassee, florida, it was suggested that the underlying problem was probably with the entire wiring system of the car, but during the 5th and 6th attempts to repair the air bag light, the dealership did not seem willing to look into this and ended doing the exact same repair that has been attempted for 7 years. Meanwhile I have been told that the car is not safe to drive when the air bag light is on.

I was driving on the highway 75 mph, at some point the side rear window blew out , I heard the sound of a open window but could not figure out where it was coming from, I pulled over and noticed the window was gone. If there had been a motor cycle or another vehicle it could have caused an accident.

The multi function switch on the steering column just stops working. When this happens you lose head lights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield wipers, and windshield spray. The switch has been replaced twice now and the same problem keeps occurring. It either fails totally or works intermittently. You cannot drive the car at night or when it's raining - it's a major safety issue.

Driving 70 mph on freeway. Rear quarter window detached from vehicle. There is an existing recall but only covers the model year before (2005). This is obviously an issue with the 2006 version as well.

My rear wiper blade does not work. I purchased the vehicle in the summer months and didn't think about checking the rear wiper. Well now it is fall and raining all the time, and guess what it doesn't work. .

My front windshild wipers stopped working. I took it into the Chrysler Dodge dealership, jackson mi and found the tipm, totally integrated power module was defective and needed to be replaced at cost of $906. I found on the internet this is a common problem on Chryslers. It is at the dealer getting repaired. I feel a recall of this is needed. If you are out driving and the wipers go out you are in big trouble. Just lucky we were in town and not on the expressway.

Rear window wiper failed to operate. Owners manual does not identify fuse location. Power trace shows power to unit, suspect software problem when over 75 degrees f. Clutch pedal goes to the floor and very hard to shift, when below 60 degrees f shifts like glass on glass (very smooth) hyd cyl. Throw varies with temperature.

Front windshield wiper stop working,replaced motor,further research found computer is going out. Only has 81,000 on car. Ordered new computer found out we were 926 on list,that was 3 months ago.

Wife left house at 4:45pm (near dusk) during rain. She got 2 1/2 miles away, phoned and said wipers on 2006 Pt Cruiser had stopped working. Went to meet her on side of road and drove car back to house, her in front of me with our flashers on, while the rain had slacked, but not completely stopped. The wipers will come on very slowly and eventually stop, if I jiggle the wiper control and turn signal at the same time. I've checked the internet and it seems like this is a common problem for this vehicle. I do believe this warrants a recall, as this could lead to a very serious or deadly accident. I don't know how many compaints it takes before something is done, but it needs to be done soon. I haven't taken this car to a mechanic yet as we have our old Ford pickup to drive on rainy days, thank god!!!!!.

While driving to work in the rain the wipers stopped mid cycle, when I made adjustments on the column control the wipers went into low speed mode and would also work in the high speed mode, however the wipers would not stop working until several trys to turn them off worked. The problem continued to present it's self and at one point the wipers continued to run with the key in the "off" position. I made an appointment with dick hannah Chrysler in vancouver , wa on 3 Dec 2011 where the problem was found to be in the t. I. P. M (fault code b3205) . I have made arrangements to have the t. I. P. M replaced by this dealer when they get the t. I. P. M replacement from Chrysler (5 days out). The cost of this problem caused by one circuit of the t. I. P. M is $840. 00 and there is no way to have the one circuit replaced or repaired on the defective unit in the Pt Cruiser. The cost of this problem is only one issue in this matter the major issue is safety caused by the distraction of attention when the problem presents itself while the vehicle is being driven. There are many sites on the internet that have information regarding the t. I. P. M failure on Chrysler vehicles which indicates a safety problem with the t. I. P. M. I feel that this matter should be looked into as it is a potential safety hazard waiting to present loss of visibility and distraction of attention in regard to safe operation of the vehicle.

I was driving down the interstate at about 75mph surrounded by traffic when suddenly the windshield wiper blades stopped working and I had zero visibility. After I managed to get off the road, they started working again after about 2 minutes.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. While parked, the contact attempted to open the lift gate with the electronic key fob but the lift gate would not open. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics. The mechanic advised the contact that there was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 07v149000 (visibility:glass, side/rear) that could possibly have been related to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

Over the past three weeks the front wipers have been working intermittently, this morning they stopped completely. They froze in the on/up position blocking my view while driving. They did creep their way down and are currently stopped about 1/4 of the way up on the windshield. I am concerned that they won't work on one of our many rainy days in oregon, luckily today is a dry day.

The contact owns a 2006 Pt Cruiser. The contact stated that the windshield wipers would only operate when on the high setting but not on any other setting. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis or repairs. The failure mileage was 37,238 and the current mileage was 39,000.

Dashboard, inside, outside lights stopped working; windshield and back window wipers stopped working. According to dealership service dept. - instrument cluster need to be replaced; it happened again in 2011, and now again in 2012. Per dealership service dept. , CA law requires it be replaced - for safety sake.

Please recall,the windshield wiper it's constantly having problem. Took to the deal and reset computer modular and it works fine. Six months later, it did it again and this time extended warranty ran out because it's a used car so I get 3 months or 3000 miles whatever comes first. So, the dealer charge me $100. 00 for the same service. A few more months it did again. Bottom line Pt Cruiser windshield wipers have serious problem and it will cause an accident someday due faultiness. Also, ac needs a recall because of the so many issue with working properly.

During a summer storm several years ago with changes in pressure my windshield cracked from the seam about 4 to 5 inches out from the passenger side. The vehicle was parked in a drive way. There is no damage as though it was hit. It was simply parked one night and the crack was visible the next day. Since then, it is almost 3/4 of the way to the driver side right at eye level. There is now a second crack following another storm with pressure changes, starting at the seam as well just above the rear view mirror that goes down 2 to 3 inches and then goes to the passenger side approximately 4 to 5 inches. I have contacted Chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge this could be a manufacturing issue although research shows previous recalls on Pt Cruiser windshields for the same reason of improper installation.

I have an 2006 chry Pt Cruiser. The front wiper power module has gone out on the front windshield wipers. So when it rains I cannot use my front windshield wipers at all when I drive cause they do not work and it is very hard and dangerous for me to try and drive without them.
