Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since sept. 22, 2005, i have had an ongoing problem with my 2004 chrysler pt cruiser. the engine light comes and and the car sputters and stalls. i have had to have it towed 3 times and it has been to the chrysler dealer 3 times and is there right not since monday october 3, 2005. i bought it in february 2004 and it is still under warranty. the "cam sensor" has been replaced twice, i was told it had a short that was fixed but the problem still happened. this last time the service manager said the "crankshaft" was replaced and the problem still occurred! it's like they are rebuilding my car but no one seems to know what the problem is. i feel this car is too new to be going through this. i have missed work because of it. been stranded on the street and freeway (very dangerous). have lost sleep and am very depressed and stressed about it. i feel this is a case for the lemon law if there ever was one. *nm
