NHTSA Complaint #10682863 — 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER CONV

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/9/2015 ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR SHUTDOWN - FROZE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF IT WASN'T FOR SLOW BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY BAD CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD OF HIT ME. THE CAR WOULD NOT REV OR NOTHING BUT THE LIGHTS, RADIO ALL WORKED. I GOT TOWED TO A MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT CHRYSLER AND THEY CHECKED AND THE ENGINE AND BATTERY & ALTERNATOR AND WAS FINE. BUT THEY CONTINUED TO CHECK AND FOUND IT WAS COMPUTER RELATED WHERE THE COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING TO WHERE IT JUST SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN. I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT DAY BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED AGAIN BUT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A TOW TRUCK FOLLOWING BEHIND JUST IN CASE. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP KEPT MY CAR OVERNIGHT AND TODAY ON 2/11/2015 TOLD ME JUST TO START THE POSSIBLE FIX OF THE CAR THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIX THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND THEY ARE NOT SURE THIS WILL FIX IT BUT JUST TO START IT WILL COST ME $1,149.27. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OVER (WAS 3 YEARS). I ARGUED WITH THEM AND TOLD THEM CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE AND WARRANTY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT - IT IS A DANGER ISSUE THAT THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR. YOU SEE THEY, THE DEALER, EVEN KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CHRYSLER'S WORK THAT'S WHY THEY THEMSELVES SAY THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THEY HAVE THE NERVES TO THINK THEY CAN CHEAT ME OUT OF $1,149.47 JUST TO START WORK ON A POSSIBLE FIX. I WANT CHRYSLER TO FIX MY CAR WITHOUT CHARGING ME BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FAULT - I CANNOT DRIVE THIS DANGEROUS CAR. I DID ALSO CONTACT CHRYSLER CORP TODAY AND THEY TELL THE SAME CRAP THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE I AM NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
