problem #2

Jul 012013

PT Cruiser Turbo 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

Car will intermittently not start and after it is towed, it will start like there was never a problem. Sometimes it stalls at intersections.

The dealership cannot identify the problem so they continue to replace parts, trying to guess at the problem.

I've spent 5,000 dollars in repairs that did not repair the problem. I had the battery, ignition switch, starter replaced. All to no avail.

After research on the internet, it sounds like it could be the TIPM.
