My check engine light goes off and on. Crankshaft and camshaft sensors were reading as the issue according to the odometer code system.. My car shuts off at anytime even while driving in the middle of the road. My battery terminal seems to be weak possibly having shortage moments from time to time. My vehichle will pull one way or the other. My breaks feel like there going to give out or are brand knew . My vehichle makes a noise as if the front cv axels or ball joints need to be greased. My wiring and engine is my main concern. My AC doesn't work my radiator seal has been replaced my car will make a guzzling noice due to the coolant . The list goes on. I bought my vehichle approx. 4months ago. The issues have progressed over the past month.

No headlight, high beam or low beam or turn signal right side. This began about 6/2017 when replacing bulbs did not work. A few months later the horn also stopped working. Fuel gauge stopped reading and sometimes reads full then drops toward e then may show half. Never a constant reading anymore. All fuses and relays test good. Tipm appears to be in good shape, no visible damage or defects to circuit boards. No good voltage to head lamps or turn signal (meter shows 11.5 volts, but appears to be a potential and not a good voltage. Cannot light a bulb but still shows the voltage on the meter), grounds meter good to chassis. Wiring harness appears good with no indication of damage. Runs very rough and engine light codes a cylinder 3 misfire. Runs smooth under acceleration but very rough on idle and sometimes stalls when stopping or at red lights. I have spent several hundred dollars already on timing belts, alternators, injectors and other maintenance procedures. Dealers wont look at it without several hundred dollars to run diagnostics again and again. I suspect tipm and PCM to be defective units throughout chrysler products. You cannot drive at night because I cant get the lights to work. Car is currently parked because it is unusable and unsafe to drive.

My car is hanging up in a lower gear may gear 2 and the engine is raising. The engine light is on. It has done this a few times while driving the car. Sometimes the engine light goes off and it runs like a great vehicle but then it will hang up and get stuck in a lower gear! I have been driving inner city when this happens and afraid to take it on the highway.

While driving the engine will sputter and die. When pulling up to a stop light the check engine light will come on and the engine will immediately die. While driving on the freeway at 65mph the engine will suddenly die.

We are being treated in a very uncaring, racist, discriminatory way by the general manager dan hamrick 702‑432‑2401, at #lasvegas chapman dodge #chrysler' @vegasdcj 3175 east sahara las vegas nv 89104. He has consistently refused to see us. He has never returned our calls. I was even threatened with great bodily harm by the service manager mike nicosia. I made a police report. We took our beautiful pt cruiser into las vegas #chapman dodge chrysler on 10-13-17 because the #engine light was staying on. They installed an expensive 'defective' chrysler #mopar totally integrated power module (tipm) and an expensive 'defective' mopar chrysler power train control module (PCM). Between 10-13-17 to 11-21-17 (approximately one month) I had to return my chrysler for repairs five (5) times & they installed three (3) pcms & two (2) tipms which were no good!!! My car's engine light came on again on 12-11-17 and my car accelerated by itself, and we crashed!!! This was only nineteen (19) days after my car's very last visit to las vegas chapman #dodge chrysler on 11-21-17. Our car sustained great body damage. It cannot be driven. Thank father god no one was killed!!! We had no idea what happened until we read an article about chrysler's defective totally integrated power modules problems titled 'chrysler tipms causing power problems - updated october 15, 2016' chryslerproblems.com/trends/tipm/. Amazing!!! That article LED us to similar articles. These are the receipt orders (work orders) in chronological order: #6463649-1, #6464576-1, #6465489-1, #6467298-1, #6467796-1. The problems were never repaired and my car cannot be driven. I am charged a total of $5,836.75 for absolutely nothing!!! Pease help me. Thank you.
