Turn signals would work intermittently in hot/humid weather. Sometimes would not work with indicator turned on. Had changed the fuses each time problem happened. Also, sliding door lock does not regularly release with the lock/unlock switch. Further, it is unreliable with the manual lock/botton. The headlights, in hot/humid weather may or may not go off when switch is turned off. Been in contact with dealership.

Light switch has shorted out, causing battery to die. When battery is charged with jumper cables and vehicle is started, smoke from light switch fills cab. I feel that this is a safety hazard which should be looked at.

Light switch smoked at start-up.dealer replaced switch and claimed it was not a fire hazard. I contacted Chrysler C/S who also claimed not a fire hazard, but I took switch apart and can see where a printed circuit board is heavily blackened.
