I’ll tell ya what wrong; there are two engine cam shaft Idler sensors. Ours (2007)went out and Chrysler wouldn’t pay for it to be fixed under warrantee, @ 37,500 miles. So, we told them to fix it, and we would pay, THEY REPLACED the wrong one. We took it to our regular mechanic when it was still doing it and he found the problem rite away. I think 1st of all they didn’t ... Read More...

Written by: Mr_Shiftright on Feb 08, 2009 00:32 PM

I was RIGHT when I started worrying about the health of the Big Three way back in early 2007. I predicted dire consequences for the Big Three if they couldn't stop losing market share. I had no idea of course of the bank crisis, etc, which I think accelerated what i feel was inevitable anyway. I was WRONG about the PT Cruiser. I remember saying "who would buy that mutt"? ...
