Replying to: mrhaney2 (Sep 15, 2009 1:52 pm) My transmission was slipping when braking, specially when slowing down from 25 to 20 MPH, all I had to do is change the Tranny fluid and the car started working like a champ. It happened for a couple of days after then fluid was changed, but then it just never happened again. Praying helps too, it's the best insurance you can get

2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser - - Approx. 65,000 mi. Automatic transmission. 4-cylinder. Runs great most of the time. Seems like every 4 to 5 weeks the car begins to shake, loses acceleration and the engine light activates. After a few seconds - - engine performance returns to normal. What is going on ? ? No other problems. Replies to this message: rasec8711 (Nov 02, 2009 10:40 am) jpf (Nov 02, 2009 6:26 pm) dcurts (Nov 02, 2009 11:48 am)

Replying to: krh7 (Nov 02, 2009 10:29 am) I would definitely check/replace the timing belt. I was on a 10 hr road trip when my cruiser lost power, the engine light turned on on the spot, and then the car turned off. Bad news =( My timing belt went out. DEFINITELY have your timing belt replaced, 60,000 miles is the recommended interval, I was stupid and had no clue that had to be replaced and it cost me about 1K to have it replaced in the middle of nowhere (Kettleman City, CA) but that was including Towing Costs, so save your towing and have it replaced ASAP !

Replying to: krh7 (Nov 02, 2009 10:29 am) I’ll tell ya what wrong; there are two engine cam shaft Idler sensors. Ours (2007)went out and Chrysler wouldn’t pay for it to be fixed under warrantee, 37,500 miles. So, we told them to fix it, and we would pay, THEY REPLACED the wrong one. We took it to our regular mechanic when it was still doing it and he found the problem rite away. I think 1st of all they didn’t tell us it wouldn’t be covered by warrantee, and 2nd they didn’t fix it correctly. If it’s the same thing as ours, the car surges and jerks under high tork, when you let off the gas it settles down. The 1st fix was $378 and the 2nd was $50 bucks for the part (our guy). Also, when you get it fixed, do the water pump, we did, it was another $780 it was going tooooo.   I still think Chrysler should have stood by and paid for it:   But that’s why I’ll never buy another. deo

Replying to: rasec8711 (Nov 02, 2009 10:40 am) My owner's manual recommends replacing the timing belt at 90k miles (2007).

#66 of 66 03 pt cruiser 3rd gear not there by kkp1 Nov 18, 2009 (5:57 pm)
I have a 03 pt and when you shift into 3rd gear there is nothing there. All of the other gears work just fine, and the trany makes no noise. 3rd gear feels like it is still in neutral. Does any one have an idea
