What owners wrote
He has consistently refused to see us. He has never returned our calls. I was even threatened with great bodily harm by the service manager mike nicosia. I made a police report. We took our beautiful pt cruiser into las vegas #chapman dodge chrysler on 10-13-17 because the #engine light was staying on. They installed an expensive 'defective' chrysler #mopar totally integrated power module (tipm) and an expensive 'defective' mopar chrysler power train control module (PCM).
Can not go over 45-50 MPH without check engine light coming on. Unable to stay in cruise control on highway at 70 MPH more than 1/2 mile than it pops out of cruise completely and check engine comes on. Shakes when heat or air condition comes on. Steering wheel pushes to the right while driving.
