My lights shut off while driving. Not only did my headlights shut off but my dash board lights and the lights on my gear shift did as well. My doors will not lock as well.

I own a 2002 pt cruiser and have always taken good care of it, by having it always serviced at the dealers and nowhere else. I love this car but just recently I have started have some problems with it. First my A/C started to sometimes blow hot air instead of cold and that stopped and then it seems like when I come to a stop with the A/C on it acts like it is going to stall. Now the transmission started making a noise when I go from reverse to drive. So I took it to a dealer to get it fixed and they are telling me I need a new transmission and it will cost me about $3200.00. My car has 45,000 miles on it. I would think that if it has always been serviced by a chrysler dealer that this should have been preventable? Can anyone help? Thanks for your consideration.

For the past tw-three months, either it has stalled in the garage or on a busy thoroughfare. The authorized dealer has replaced transmission, I've had an oil change, we've had rental cars, tow trucks, I've missed church, flight connections, valuable time away from work-fifth time reporting-dealer has done everything-this car is going to be the death of me-it has toxic fumes-and is literally havine me to take it to the dealer and leaving it on the property. How do we contact the president, transmission has been replaced, it has had an oil change, the dealers can't find out what's wrong with it-and I'm ready to turn it in-it has cost me lost wages, time away from events in which I was to speak, and most of all, my sanity. How does one contact dr. Dr. Dieter zetsche, the president? There is no e-mail address. Was there a fire? Not yet, but there might be a loss of life if it continues to stall on these busy thoroughfares-it makes no sense.

While driving vehicle will stall when going around a curve, when the vehicle was restarted the gauges did not work on dash, the brakes and power steering still work but the steering was hard, the dealer was contacted and they replaced the computer. *ak since the computer was replaced the vehicle has not stalled but it continues to run rough, stumble, and misfire at speeds above 40 MPH and not accelerating hard.
