Car has had repeated issues with all warning lights coming on while driving and speedometer, tachometer and gas gauge all going dead. After a moment the gauges come back to life and the warning lights go off. It looks like the car was just started. The engine keeps running and the radio, wipers, etc all continue to function. Issue is confined to the instrumentation panel. This can occur several times and then go for days without happening. I am not able to 'force' the condition and get it to occur on demand so the dealership is unable to address the issue. Internet searches reveal a number of possible issues including ignition switch and the totally integrated power module - I would just like to get it fixed so the car will be safe. This youtube video is very similar to what occurs with my car - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xovo0sic9bk or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcim1aypbhi.

While driving to work in the rain the wipers stopped mid cycle, when I made adjustments on the column control the wipers went into low speed mode and would also work in the high speed mode, however the wipers would not stop working until several tries to turn them off worked. The problem continued to present it's self and at one point the wipers continued to run with the key in the "off" position. I made an appointment with dick hannah chrysler in vancouver , wa on 3 dec 2011 where the problem was found to be in the t.I.p.m (fault code b3205) . I have made arrangements to have the t.I.p.m replaced by this dealer when they get the t.I.p.m replacement from chrysler (5 days out). The cost of this problem caused by one circuit of the t.I.p.m is $840.00 and there is no way to have the one circuit replaced or repaired on the defective unit in the pt cruiser. The cost of this problem is only one issue in this matter the major issue is safety caused by the distraction of attention when the problem presents itself while the vehicle is being driven. There are many sites on the internet that have information regarding the t.I.p.m failure on chrysler vehicles which indicates a safety problem with the t.I.p.m. I feel that this matter should be looked into as it is a potential safety hazard waiting to present loss of visibility and distraction of attention in regard to safe operation of the vehicle.

Windows go down on own or won't go down at all. Head lights come on when no one in car. Wipers come on when driving down road on own and go off on own.
