I own a 2002 PT CRUISER, which was subject to a recall concerning the dash cluster gauges. Gauges failed on me causing me to run out of fuel on I-285 in atlanta. Took vehcile in for recall reprograming of the dash clusters when the vehicle had 4000 miles on the odometer. This failure occurred at 24000 miles. I have been waiting over two weeks for the dealer to obtain the part needed to fix the problem. Today I was told that the part has to be "burned" into the dash order to fix the problem. Moreover, the service manager wayne hammond (770-216-9300) stated that he had a number of consurmers with the same problem. I have been riding around with a gas can in my vehicle for fear of running out; without dash or interior lights or gauges.
My 2002 PT CRUISER caught fire and the dealer and the manufacturer say too bad.the car had two recalls one which was fixed and one which they never notified me of.
