• Engine compartment fires investigation # PE04028

  Pe04-028 was opened to investigate seven complaints alleging that the engine compartment caught fire on my 2002 pt cruiser vehicles.On june 3, 2004, daimlerchrysler (dcc) notified nhtsa of a safety defect in my 2001-2005 pt cruiser vehicles equipped with naturally aspirated 2.4l engines and automatic transaxles (recall 04v-268).The notification identified variation of the high pressure power steering hose routing, which allowed the hose to contact the transaxle differential cover, as the factor contributing to this defect.Contact between the power steering hose and the transaxle differential cover can cause hose damage and power steering fluid leakage, which can potentially result in a fire. (note: the failure data in this resume is limited to my 2001-2003 vehicles per dccs pe04-028 information responses.)this condition was limited to vehicles with automatic transaxles as vehicles with manual transmissions have substantial clearance between the transaxle differential cover and the power steering hose due to a smaller transaxle design.This condition also does not adversely affect vehicles with turbo engines, which have a different power steering hose routing that provides substantial clearance between the transaxle differential cover and hose.Daimlerchrysler will instruct owners to bring their vehicles to a dealer to have the power steering hose assembly inspected and relocated, or replaced, as necessary, and to confirm the torque of the hose fastener at the steering gear end.

• Safety belt cinching latch plate investigation # PE02082

  There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect.While conducting this investigation, odi found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate is low (1.60/100k).The information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time.Further allocation of agency resources to this issue is unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation is being closed.

I replaced my vehicles battery 2 days ago(nov 12, 2019)(very old battery and with the cold in massachusetts it needed to be changed). Now with a properly functioning battery the voltage regulator in pcm (not alternator) is signaling alternator to raise charging voltage intermittently to as high as 17.1volts, but has been frequently bouncing between 14.1v -16.7volts. This increase of voltage to a unsafe level causes all electrical accessories that are in connected to the charging system and are operational to flash/ flicker. Extremely distracting at night with headlights and dashboard flashing/ flickering. After a lot of research i found out the pcm needs to be reprogrammed with the proper updated firmware in order to fix the factory weak parameters. I spoke with a service manager today(nov 14,2019) at my local chrysler dealership (central jeep chrysler dodge ram fiat @ 56 boston providence tpke, norwood, ma 02062) about the problem and asked to have my pcm reprogrammed since only that specific model car manufactures service shop will have the capability and pcm firmware to repair it. The manager refused to do any work on my car since he said, "i wont touch cars older than 10years and close to 100,000miles". Then asked if i was even a customer at that specific location, saying no again after i said i wasn't. There is no other option than the factory dealership to fix a factory flawed pcm, which makes the risk of my battery exploding due to the increased regulated voltage very likely. This problem isn't new to chrysler since they have issued several tsb(s) in my specific vehicle and this exact problem: 18-112-16 18-026-03 rev.A 18-016-03 18-020-04

There was an electrical fire where the radio cup holders and the shifter. Car is undriveable due to the damage. My car was stationary at the time. The radio kept turn on and off. I heard cracking when i went into work. When i came out i say there was a whole lot of damage. I did get the car started and was able to get it home, but it's not drivable since the car died as i was pulling into my driveway. When i went to put it into park it was like park was not an option. Amd the car kept moving so i put the e break on.

My exterior front lights are very dull and aren't bright when turn them on.

I don't truly know what's happen to it n if it's been fixed but i do know that prior it would have uncontrollable speed control n steering problems n gps n video n auto recording n radio frequencies.

Vehicle is leaking power steering fluid. Found recall notice for my year model but chrysler says my vin is not included in the recall. Added fluid about 3 months ago and steering was fine until a week ago. Since then, fluid only lasts a day before it has to be refilled.

Vehicle was parked. Turned off. Multifunction switch that had been replaced previoulsy malfunctioned again. Fog lights just came on out of nowhere luckily i turned around and noticed it. When i opened my car door i noticed the switch was smoking. After some quick thinking i pulled the fuse. If i had not thought of this i belive it would have caught my car on fire and the ones parked next to it. I have had the fuse pulled for a year. Flash forward to my current state in va and it's inspection time. I failed for a faulty function switch. The guys replaced the switch first stoplight i come to no signal. Took it back to garage they said switch was bad out of the box. After this epidemic this will be the 4th multifunction switch that i know of installed on this car. How in the world has this part not been recalled yet. Please do something!

I had purchesed a used 2003 pt cruiser and on the hwy home short time later i heard clunking sound three times first when merging onto hwy from car dealership. Futhermore, about 10 min into my hwy drive home i became frightend when my car ended up having a mind if its own and stared going to the left so i tried to turn stearing wheel towards right and i was unable to correct it for few seconds and ended on the otheride of white line just about off hwy and into gravel but at that point i seened to regain control of my car stearing and proceeding back beteeen yellow and white line on the hwy, following was another incident was when i came to complete stop following with left turn (started to make a clunking sound even louder).Durning my route i made a right turn the sound again. I ended up taking it to a dealership to take a look at . The mechanic said he knew at one point they had a safty recall on the suspension for pt crusiers because they could cause injury with motor vehicle accidents due to loss of control as a result of lower contol arm /sway bar / and bad ball joints which i personally prob expericend on my way home following my purchese of the car. The mechanic i spoke to checked my vin number and it did not have a recall on it however there was recalls for a set amount and that mine wasnt one of them but shoukd have been and that i should inform " nhtsa "about my situation because there could be others experiencing same situation due to malfunctioning parts because a malfuction can happen to even after market parts can lead to deadly accidents even death because of loss of control. I strongly agree with mechanic that the recall should be updated even on the after market parts for the suspenion such as control arm and called for every 2003 pt crusier gt because of loss of control that almost caused me to be in accident even could of been fatal. Thank you

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chrysler pt cruiser. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle started to jerk and stalled without warning while in traffic. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to resume driving. The failure recurred twice. When the contact looked under the hood, she noticed fuel around the engine and the area where the power steering fluid was located, which caused a fuel odor to emit through the air conditioner blower. The contact also noticed that the rear of the vehicle was leaking fuel, which came from the fuel line. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. The approximate failure mileage was 138,528.

The multifunction switch had to be replaced or else the fog lights remain on and drain the battery.
