NHTSA Complaint #10564717 — 2003 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER

LOW VOLTAGE LIGHT CAME ON, LOST ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY.I HAD TO HIT THE SHOULDER QUICKLY. I THEN TESTED CODE WITH KEY (3 CLICKS OFF/ON) GOT CODE P0622 AND P2403..TOWED TO A SHOP, TO FIND OUT THE WIRES FROM ALTERNATOR TO THE COMPUTER SHORTED OUT, IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM, WIRING HARNESS RUNS ALONG CV SHAFT AND RUBS AGAINST A BOLT NEAR THE FRAME, THUS SHORTING OUT THE CHARGING SYSTEM AND BURNING OUT THE COMPUTER. SO NOW THE BILL FOR REPAIRS ARE ALMOST $650.00 AND LUCKY WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY IN TIME, ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI CAUSE WE LOST POWER SO QUICK. I AM GLAD WE DIDN'T GET KILLED. IF CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WHY IS THERE NO RECALL.....OR A SAFETY WARNING . *TR
