I have taken my 2003 pt cruiser gt back to the dealer eight times to have a check engine light problem repaired. The first visit to the dealer occured on july 3, 2003 the second visit to the dealer occurred on july 9-12, 2003 the third visit to the dealer occured on august 15-18, 2003 the fourth visit to the dealer occurred on may 7-12, 2004 the fifth visit to the dealer occurred on may 26-27, 2004 the sixth visit to the dealer occurred on june 9th, 2004 the seventh visit to the dealer occurred on june 28th., 2004 (replace leak detection pump) the eighth visit to the dealer occurred on july 16th., 2004 (car towed) general syptoms leading to the light coming on were hard starting several days or weeks prior to light coming on, as well as hesitation under acceleration (occured twice), and the latest incident in which the car completely lost power while accelerating away from a stop sign onto a main road. During the course of my many dealership visits, they have reprogrammed the computer, replaced the solenoid duty cycle purge, contacted chrysler's star technical center and replaced what they claimed to be a bad leak detection pump. Upon the last failure, the car was driven back to my residence and the dealer contacted to tow to the dealership.
While driving consumer noticed that headlights and dashboard light were flickering off and on. Vehicle was serviced three to four times, but dealership was still unable to find proper remedy.
Purchased 2003 pt cruiser in oct 02. March 03- check engine light came on and engine idled very rough. Brought it in and they said it had a cracked spark plug. Fixed? No... June 03 check engine light came on and it idled very rough. Brought it in and they said it needed a new alternator. Fixed? No. Same thing is happening again. Check engine light is on and it is idling very rough.
When consumer brakes, the headlights would flicker. This causes a distraction at night time. Dealer has been notified. Ph this also occured when window switch and auto door locks were engaged. Dealer checked wiring to PCM, allg rounds and electrical connections. Nothing found.
