A COUPLE MONTHS AGO MY PT STARTED ACTING UP. THE VOLUME ON THE RADIO WILL TURN UP AND DOWN WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. ALSO THE RADIO WILL CHANGE STATIONS BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT TOUCHING A BUTTON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS TO THIS DAY, JUST AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT RENTED A 2008 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE CONTACT PUSHED THE HORN AND RECEIVED AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED DUE TO THE SHOCK.

I THINK THEIR IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ON THE 2008 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ON THE DASH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ILLUMINATED WHEN LESS THAN 30 LBS IS IN THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT OFF LIGHT NEVER COMES ON. THE AIRBAG PROBLEM LIGHT HOWEVER DOES COME ON AND DINGS CONSTANTLY. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS EVEN WORKING. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I THINK IT IS COMMON. I DO NOT THINK THIS SHOULD BE OVERLOOKED. *TR
