Well no such luck to be covered by the powertrain for me. It's the transmission cable that grips up and needs to be replaced and that's not covered per the service garage at the dealership. It's not actually THE transmission or engine. The counter guy said they've seen it in other models not the PT until mine. I had a Mercury Lynx wagon that ran until almost 100,000 miles before I sold it and it never had such a major problem. It ran another 100,000 for the kid who bought it and he didn't have many problems either. Maybe it's worth looking into trading her in for a newer model-food for thought.
