PT Cruiser

  • Automatic transmission

Had the multifuction switch replaced for $246.00 and it worked for about 3 months and now it does the very same thing, really needs to be a recall on this, the first time the fog light switch starting smoking, waste of money.

PT Cruiser Limited 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,500 miles

I see I'm not alone, however I don't see the solution. If there is a part that is known to be problematic it will save me a fortune of trying to have someone figure it out. I cannot pass inspection without a horn.

PT Cruiser

  • Manual transmission
  • 69,000 miles

This problem really sucks, thank goodness for sites like these, I thought i was one of the few (not many other members of the chrysler club in FL have this problem)... Now i see its more common than not.. I hope Chrysler does something to accommodate loyal owners; this could easily be a serious issue I have to babysit this issue by pressing down / banging on the steering wheel (& column) until the LED comes back up (that way I at least know the horn will work when needed).

problem #2

Apr 152008

PT Cruiser Limited 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,000 miles

My LED display on the radio comes and goes - when it is off, the horn will not work. If I bump the horn button, the display will come back on (sometimes). Anybody know how to fix this? Honestly, other than this, the car has been the most trouble-free car I have ever owned.

(reported on)

PT Cruiser

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

This problem puts me out of compliance with the law as a horn is legally required. When the LED radio light is off, the horn does not honk and they go on and off intermittantly! I have had it looked at by 3 different shops including 2x by a dealership and they cannot fix it. Not only is it illegal not to have a horn but it is unsafe! I am extremely frustrated!
