The fog lights on my 2005 pt cruiser come on by themselves. Engine off - keys not in ignition. Dead battery twice in the past 24 hours.

Headlights are so cloudy, looks to be unsafe. Have tried 3 different products on the market to correct this but so far nothing has helped. Seems like something that is going to be out in the weather like a headlight could be made from something better than they are.

The fog lights would not shut off. Technician at the dealership removed the fuse until we could schedule them to work on it. When we took it in to be fixed, they replaced the multifunction switch.

The fog lamps stay on even when the switch is in the "off" position. I have read many other owner's complaints of the same problem. This has resulted in my battery being drained twice.

Both brake lights failed at same time. This is the third time. Bulbs receive major damage. Major chance for rear end collision when bulbs blow. Any other reports of this type? This is a big safety issue.

Fog lamps remain on when switch is in the off possition. This problem has been identified in many "pt" forums on the internet. The solution is the replacement of the multifunction switch that controls all the lights.
