Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The fog lamps on the 2001 pt cruiser come on and stayed on their own accord. this caused a dead battery 3 times. when i opened the door the alarm went off. sometimes the instrument panel worked correctly, sometimes it did not. sometimes the keyless entry worked and sometimes it did not. when it did work, i could not get the door to unlock with the key, it relocked by itself, leaving me locked out of my own car and stranded on several occasions. i could not lock the door on driver's side with electronic door lock. must individually lock all doors. smoke came from the top of the steering column , through hazard light switch on two occasions. dealer suggested $200. replacement of multi function switch - but research showed thiswas not a remedy to the problem. i live in a remote, rural area, and do not feel safe or secure with this vehicle. *ak
