2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser electrical complaints

The brake lights and tail lights and turn signals all stopped working at an unknown time this year another driver told me they weren't working and the dealer told me it was a problem in the fuse box or part of it and wanted over $800.00 to fix it. My pt cruiser is a 2008 with apx 48,000 miles on it. The A/C system also failed when some smoke came from the front of the car. Not sure if there is a connection but the lights is a safety problem and the turn signals come on inside but not outside so I wouldn't know unless some one told me. I think the manufacturer should be responsible for this and the service adviser and parts department indicated this is a common problem.
Tl*the contact rented a 2008 chrysler pt cruiser. While driving 45 MPH the contact pushed the horn and received an electrical shock. The contact was injured due to the shock. She spoke with the branch manager and was advised that there was nothing that could be done. The failure and current mileages were not available.
A couple months ago my pt started acting up. The volume on the radio will turn up and down without touching anything. Also the radio will change stations back and forth without touching a button. I took it to the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with my car. The problem still happens to this day, just at random times.
Fog lights turn on an off by themselves, does not matter weather the car is turned on or off, or even if the key is in the ignition. Came out of work to find my battery was dead because the fog lights were on.
