While driving with my headlights and fog lights on, using my turn signal turns off my headlight on that side until the turn signal shuts off. I have also seen this in a Chrysler 300, and a town and country. And, I have seen this in a Chevy camaro and a VW. Something is seriously wrong here!!! the date is only because you need a date. It is frequent, .

Good morning, this may not be an emergency, or a severe safety hazard, but... I found that my 2007 Chrysler PT CRUISER had an annoying flaw. When I had my headlights on with the driving lights, and I put on my turn signal, the headlight on that side would go out. Since nothing else was affected, I chose to keep my driving lights off. However, I have noticed is that other Chrysler (300, 200), a Jeep Cherokee, a Chevy camaro, and a Volkswagen do the same thing, but without the driving light being on. It is always when the turn signal is engaged while the headlights are on. I have only noticed this recently...I am not sure why, but I am beginning to see this a lot. On a dark, rainy night, that could eliminate a whole quadrant of light is a person is turning. There is an electrical issue with several different manufacturers. I am also going to contact other entities, but I think this is a real problem. Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

I have seen this with several makes and models - all Chrysler products. When I have my headlights and "fog" lights on, turning on my turn signal makes the headlight on that side go out. When the turn signal goes off, the headlight comes back on. I have seen this in a Jeep compass and a Chrysler 300, also. I believe that this is a major problem.

The lock on the back gate will randomly disengage. This causes the interior dome light to come on and drain the battery. I find that it mainly happens when closing the doors with all the windows rolled up. If a window is down, it does not happen as often.

I drive a 2007 T cruiser and have on and off again issues with my center dashboard lights coming on and gauges going up and down. Engine almost stalls in heavy traffic. This has happened several times and the mechanics cannot find any issues with wiring, grounding, battery, alternator, switches, etc. Happens at any time. Will be fine for a short period of time and then it will start to do it again. This takes place sitting still and in heavy traffic. Chrysler better take note and figure this out or they will have a huge lawsuit like what is going on with GM. Many people with the same complaints; how is it no one is concerned? scared to drive my vehicle.

The multi function switch on the steering column just stops working. When this happens you lose head lights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield wipers, and windshield spray. The switch has been replaced twice now and the same problem keeps occurring. It either fails totally or works intermittently. You cannot drive the car at night or when it's raining - it's a major safety issue.

Came out one day and the left front turn signal was glowing. Will not blink or turn off even with the engine off. All others work fine, but the left rear blanks a little faster. I have changed: Bulbs, fuses, sockets on this left front, but did not work.
