We took it for a test drive and of course it didn't slip.They were also going to fix the drivers side key lock, but had to order the electric latch. The car seemed sluggish on the way home from the dealer. The next day we went to lunch and the wife said why is the car so slow. I have a feeling the dealer pulled the timing,or changed the boost to crutch the trans problem. I have 8k miles left on the warrenty. Has any one else had this happen? It seems that these tranny's aren't good for more than 30k miles at a time.

Are you sure they didn't disconnect the battery? And also - if they quick-leaned the tranny ... then it 'erased' your driving style it had memorized. The PT auto tranny adapts to how you like to drive, if it knows you like to drive fast, then it makes up for that (or so I've heard). I didn't actually think they could change parameters and DETUNE a PT. If they could actually do that, I think that someone with a Chrylser mechanic 'friend' would have some wild, out of control PT Turbo. As far as I know - Chrysler has the PCM tuning on lock down. Best of luck to you, and I'm sorry I'm not very knowledgeable. Just passing along what I've heard. Hope your PT livens back up!
