Consumer Description

COMPLETE FAILURE OF EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD, I.E. SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, COOLING, ODOMETER. NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, NO INTERIOR LIGHTS. FOG LIGHTS STAY ON UNLESS YOU TURN ON YOUR TURN SIGNAL AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AS A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES ON THE SITES THAT I HAVE VISITED. THE CAR IS A 2002 PT CRUISER, AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MICROPROCESSOR TO BE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ABOVE, HOWEVER MY PT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. *TR
