The rear brake lights and rear turn signals quit working. The bulbs have been changed and the car has been tested. It is the light control system that is faulty and the dealership said it is an expensive repair. The brake lights and turn signals will not work and this is a very dangerous issue. I see this has been an issue/recall with other model years.

Low beam headlights not working went out and bought new headlights and that is not the problem, and also blinkers to not flash from outside of car, also went out and bought bulbs this was not the problem. This is a safety related defect. The intergrated power module 2006 chrysler or cruiser controls headlights blinker it can only be reset by dealership or replace. I looked up f33 it was a recall for direction signal bulb fiction. This is a safety issues and should have a recall. Please help I need to drive my car. Thank you

My car was idling and than I drove it home on a city street in our neighborhood. About 4 minutes away from my house. Dling in park; seatbelt light kept dinging on; speedometer kept jumping back and forth from 0-100; idling at traffic stop; car shutters like it will cut off; speedometer jumps around while car is not moving. Pcm/TCM replaced multiple time; battery loses charge for no known reason; have had problems w/engine light coming on, pay for sensors and parts needed only for the same issue to happen. These cars are dangerous! Something needs to be done to fix this issue. I am a single mom, my son and I were in the car and we were scared. Could of caused an accident.

Vehicle was started in the morning and headlights and turn signals would not operate. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and was diagnosed as a problem with the integrated power module. The module had to be reset to make the lights operable again.

My tipm (totally integrated power module) is faulty. The headlights and turn signal lights do not work. Bulbs have been checked and replaced with brand new, tested and fully functional bulbs, but this has not rectified the problem. Sometimes the car will not start at all. The battery is fine, as the car engine will turn over, however, the car will not fire up. I will leave it, and try later, and the car will subsequently start. This starting trouble is an intermittent issue. I have read that there was a class action law suit for many chrysler vehicles with tipm problems, but I did not see pt cruiser owners included within those actions. Having researched the matter, I see that many other pt cruiser owners like myself are having issues with their electrical systems as a result of faulty tipms.
