Question Re: Cruiser 'stalls' when going thru 2500 rpm

We have a 2006 PT, that goes limp...all lights on spedometer come on, mph drops to zero, even though your still coasting, and rpm drops to just barely alive...it self corrects in about 10 seconds, BUT I didn't realize how dangerous this can be until it happened to me as I was merging into a 3 lane 5 exit rotary ( round about) I damn near got killed. The dealership was totaly unhelpful, this is now the 3rd time I had this happen, how do you go about having your car declared a lemon, They can't find anything wrong with it...but I am seriously frightened to drive it now in any situation where acceleration is key. All the work we did replacing spark plugfs and wires to get better acceleration and performance works 99.8% of the time, but that 0.2% it ain't work could literally kill you. Is this car possesed? Has any one figured out how to fix this? I can't keep bringing it back to the dealership for them to keep hoping to recreate the problem. Also the last time this happened he low fuel light came on and told me I had less than a 1/4 tank, I didn't, but when we restarted the car after gathering our wits given the near-death situation the tank read nearly full again. Any similar experiences? Any advise at all would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Brenddie
