| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2001 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS OCCURRED LAST OCT. 2009. I REPLACED MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. THEN LAST WEEK OCT.3, 2010 SAME THING OCCURRED. ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHILE STOPPING WITHOUT HEADLAMPS. I CANNOT SEE WHY CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY SWITCH. I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT UNTIL CHRYSLER COMES UP WITH A FIX FOR ITS POOR SWITCH DESIGN. *TR |
| 2004 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | THE FOG LAMPS WILL NOT TURN OFF. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE STEERING COLUMN HAD SMOKE COMING FROM IT AND IT SEEMS THAT AS A RESULT, THERE IS A SHORT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WHICH CAUSED THE FOG LAMPS TO PERMANENTLY STAY ON. IT APPEARS THAT OTHER CHRYSLER PT CRUISER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE INCLUDED A LINK REGARDING OTHER CHRYSLER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.
