| Starting around nov of 2006 while driving at any speed, the instrument cluster indicator lights turn on; all the gauges go dead i.e. the speedometer, the tachometer, the gas gauge all go to zero. the warning sounds beep constantly. the 2006 pt cruiser will lose power and/or severely hesitates, power steering will fail, the brakes will fail, i have had to use the hand brake one to many times to slow the car down. i have had several near misses with other vehicles on the roads. i curb the car twice, damaging my tires once, so as to not hit other drivers. this has been happening for over a year now. i have taking it massey-yardley where i bought the pt, to have looked at over a dozen maybe even more i have lost count, i have tried to lemon the car, chrysler stated that there is nothing wrong with the car because the dealership has not reproduce the problem. i have taking the pt to other dealerships with the same result. just recently i took the car in again to massey-yardley for poor gas mileage and the same power problem, this time with a check engine light active, in nov of 2007, the dealership said it was a bad instrument cluster and a bad oxygen sensor, which they replaced. i am still having the above stated problem, the dealership stated on nov 16 of 2007 they know something is wrong but since they cannot reproduce the error to trouble shoot it they will not fix it. the dealership also said since i'm not happy with the results i should go to another dealership to have it looked at! i'm going to do that but it's hard when you have to work! plus massey-yardley will not give me a statement to that fact of unknown defect in writing. *tr | |||

| The speedodometer dropped to zero. comes and goes and the dealer can not get a reading because it does not do it when they check it. next the ac kicks in and out of cool air. next while driving down the road the car dies. i had to put it in neutral and manually turn because it died. i nearly hit a cement wall. now the dealer says he can not find anything wrong. *jb | |||
