| While driving the dash lights flash and the gauges go up and down, the car dies. i put the car in park and it starts right up. this problem is intermittent and the dealer is unable to duplicate the problem. no codes are stored. this has happened to me several times, and most of them end with me having to pull over to the side of the road, turn the car off & back on. twice it has happened to me while on a major highway...the car shuts off & i'm literally coasting on a mojor highway trying to get over for safety. this is dangerous and all the repair shop tells me is they can't fix it and dont know what causes it. | |||

| Purchased a used 2009 pt cruiser in may 2011, with 37,000 miles. approximately 2 months and 3,000 miles later the instrument cluster on the dash started to light up like a christmas tree. first the seatbelt light came on, then the whole cluster lit up and then the seatbelt light came on and went off. the speedometer and tachometer also dropped. i thought this might be an alternator problem, but it checked out ok and i did not have the problem again for a few more months. this time it flashed on and off approximately 3 times. today, 10/29/11, at 49,000 it happened approximately 10 times. i did not lose power or acceleration, but at one point i did feel a hiccup in the acceleration. i have heard that several people have stalled out in traffic and that the dealerships cannot explain this. i looks like there is a problem and chrysler needs to address it. | |||

| While driving the car on a highway at approximately 50 mph the driver side rear window shattered. most of the glass went inside the car. no rock or other object was found that might have caused the failure. | |||
