NHTSA Complaint #10795218 — 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER

MY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS FAULTY. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. BULBS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW, TESTED AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL BULBS, BUT THIS HAS NOT RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE, AS THE CAR ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL NOT FIRE UP. I WILL LEAVE IT, AND TRY LATER, AND THE CAR WILL SUBSEQUENTLY START. THIS STARTING TROUBLE IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH TIPM PROBLEMS, BUT I DID NOT SEE PT CRUISER OWNERS INCLUDED WITHIN THOSE ACTIONS. HAVING RESEARCHED THE MATTER, I SEE THAT MANY OTHER PT CRUISER OWNERS LIKE MYSELF ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AS A RESULT OF FAULTY TIPMS.
