Transmission problems

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2003 2.4 231000 miles
Going down interstate and just stopped pulling. 2 weeks prior to that, raining and hit a curb which bent left drivers side wheel. Could the hard hit have jarred the ground strap loose and cause this. Drove everyday for 2 weeks with no slipping or any other issues. All help is appreciated. Just had it rebuilt 2 years prior to this. Aamco only had 1 year warranty

Seems there's a problem from the ecu to the transmission. Saying it's too cold and that's why it won't go into top gear. Hopefully fixed now but see how it goes. My mechanic will drive it for a couple of weeks

p0700 and p0128

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2004  98000 miles
My car's dashboard indicates malfunctioning and, when reaching 40-50 mph, the overdrive won't enter and it stops there. I then change the car to Neutral or Parking, start it again and it works properly for a while. After some minutes driving, the same scanning failure presents and the codes p0700 of the transmission and p0128 appear. I've disconnected the battery, cleaned the computer's connectors and changed the radiator's lid, which had some leaking failures, but the problem is still there.

Hope I can help you because pt cruiser's failures are usually simple. In the engine, right in the inferior part of the air filter, some relays are located. There is a specific one for the automatic transmission, which must be failing. You should change it and the problem should disappear. In case it is not that, you should then check the harnesses that are connected to the transmission, which usually get damaged.

Engine failure

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001  170000 miles
I own a pt cuiser 2.0 ecc 2001, and would appreciate any information you could share with me about my car's failures. After changing the gasket, cylinder head and bent valves, it started presenting many sensors' failures : camshaft, oxygen, acceleration and MAP. The engine apparently starts properly when in dead center, it accelerates properly but, when changing to either D or R, the engine chokes and loses power, and even stalls. I would like to know if the problem is in the sensors, in the electronic control unit or in the gearbox. Thank you!

The same happened to me and it was the crankshaft position sensor.

Your problem is that the ignition point is out of time, buddy.

'05 Cruiser; paid $3k in Dec '21 now I've got $7k in it for AAA' tos

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2005 Automatic 2.5 124404 miles
Bought this 05 cruiser from a snake oil salesman from a craigslist post of $2985.00 with who claimed it would last me a long time as long as I took it easy. Instantly dismissing the shaking that I felt in the steering wheel at approximately 30+ mph from the first test drive. Said oh that lil shimmy, it's no biggie I just drove it to ___ (city 1hr away) and it drove fine. Then the very last thing he showed me before I drove away in my newest craigslist investment was how the ignition would lock the key unless I jiggle thr gear shift (then it releases the key it like a normal ignition does when… Read complete
