Problem overview

Some Chrysler PT Cruiser owners report experiencing intermittent check engine, SRS, and anti-lock brake lights, as well as shifting issues after refueling. These symptoms may indicate potential electrical or sensor-related problems, with the check engine light often linked to transmission or fuel system issues. Additionally, some owners have noted problems with the speedometer and odometer not functioning, along with unexpected stalling, which could suggest complications with the vehicle's computer system or sensors. Stalling while driving, particularly after ignition switch replacement, may point to persistent electrical issues needing further diagnosis. Furthermore, intermittent dash gauge problems and fluctuating lights could be associated with faulty electrical connections or a malfunctioning Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to maintain vehicle safety and functionality, as unresolved problems can lead to more severe complications. Consulting a qualified mechanic or dealership is recommended for proper diagnosis and resolution.
