CarComplaints.com Notes: Chrysler has taken the boring small car frame of the Neon, grafted a 1930s-era roadster body on top and named it the PT Cruiser. While the new look may appeal to some, the vehicle has unfortunately also inherited many of the same problems as the Neon.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Multipurpose switch turn signal, fog lamp, dimmer. Malfunctioned and leaves fog lamps on intermittently, whether vehicle is occupied or not. Drained battery multiple times and required removal of fog lamp fuse. My positive battery cable melted and lost electrical function of entire car.
My 2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER's fog lights will not go off even when the car is not running unless the left turn signal is turned on. If the turn signal switch is not turned on the fog lights drain the battery leaving me stranded and requires recharging or replacement of the battery. Multiple forums I've read lead me to believe this is a massive problem with the PT CRUISER. It requires replacement of a multifunction switch at a cost of over $200.
