Dt: consumer owned three 2001 chrysler pt cruisers. Each of the vehicles had problems with the fog lights and turn signal light switch , which was replaced free of charge when one vehicle was out of warranty and the fog lights and headlights stayed on and would not go off. The second and third cruisers fog lights would not go off, consume r removed the fuse. There was a flaw in the design of the pt cruisers headlight switch, which would run down the battery.

I was driving and the front part of the car broke down I couldn't keep on the shift couldn't move to park, drive or reverse. I had to call a tow truck the part an axel. I paid a mecanic. But the bushings are also messed up they are too expensive here in puerto rico it costs me more thatn 1,000 dollars to fix it and I've been driving like that since the day I bought the car. The dealer told that the it didn't have garanteen. Know another problem there is in febreuary I took my car to the mecanic because the cargot hot they change the water bomb, and it continue to rise the temperature, then the temostat and they even flushed the radiator,and they put a computer if it can ditect where is the problem.they just don't know what is the problem and they are one of the best radiator mecanics in bayamon puerto rico. Whe n I drive around theres no problem as long I I am not in a traffic jam for more than half an hour and when I go visit my parents to the countryside going up the hills that after ten minutes on the hill the temperarure starts to rise both times that I have visited my parents for the past five months ago I can't go. The mecanics can't figure out the problem. Can you give me any suggetions e-mail me back and I can give it to the mecanics . About the bushings I've asked a person on the streets that have a 2003 pt cruiser and she said that these cars have that problem.
In october, 2004 the fog light indicator would stay on, even though the fogs lights were not on. Then the fog lights stopped working all together. May, 2005, the fogs lights came back on by themselves, even though no lights were on and the car was turned off. I had the light stalk replaced by the dealer on the extended warranty.
Some of the illuminating lights in the dashboard for speed and RPM and fuel have gone out. I had mentioned this to chrysler when my transmission died and they did nothing. Isn't them another e-mail in september and they still have done nothing. I feel this is a safety hazard if you can not read your gauges at night time without taking your attention away from the road to turn on the interior light to see the gauges.
I was driving home at 11:00 pm and just about to get on I 75, and my headlights went out. I had tail lights and I could use my flashers. I took it to the dealers next day and they found nothing wrong with it. I told them to put a new battery in it no matter what. I haven't driven it at night since. I'm afraid to drive it at night.
Vehicle was parked for approx. Two days, started vehichle and all lights on the instrument panel stayed on; brake light, ABS light, engine light, security light, crusie control, etc. As well as words "no bug" over the odemeter/mileage gage. These lghts would not go off after turning the engine on and off several times. The engine light stays on and will not shut off. Scheduled an appointment with dealer to connect to computer.
Low beam headlights-from the chrysler manual- "the headlamp low beam pattern has a distinct horizontal cutoff line which is used to visually align the headlamps." this means that there is only part of a beam from each light shining on the road. The rest I
Low beam headlights fail to activate or go out. Activiating high beams restors low beams. Happened twice so far upon initial turn on. Have heard of them going out while driving. Concerned!
1. Steering wheel became loose on shaft while traveling at 68-70 MPH; 2. Headlights would flicker from bright to dim, and 3. Front weels out of alignment. Most problem was corrected by dealer. >> please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
