| 2002 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | DRIVING DOWN STREET AT 20 MI PER HR. RIGHT FRONT LOWER A ARM BROKE OFF WHEEL CAUSING WHEEL TO TURN RIGHT HITTING A PARKED CAR. IS AT BODY SHOP BEING REPAIRED. |
| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | 2001 PT CRUISER, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, 60,000 MILES ENGINE SURGES WHEN CAR IS MOVING, MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN GEAR. WHEN COASTING THE ENGINE RPM WILL VARY BETWEEN 1,200 AND 2,000 RPM EVERY 3-4 SECONDS UNTIL THE CAR COMES TO A STOP AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM FALLS TO 800. WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, BUT THAT ONLY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ONE DAY. THE CAR ENGINE CAN SURGE WHEN COASTING AND ABOUT TO MOVE INTO A PARKING SPOT OR GARAGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *LA |
