What owners wrote
Traveling behind pt cruiser when lights are required cannot see taillights. They are extremely small and dim. Almost called police to report vehicle traveling with no lights on until I got right up on this vehicle, very, very dangerous.
Vehicle was started in the morning and headlights and turn signals would not operate. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and was diagnosed as a problem with the integrated power module. The module had to be reset to make the lights operable again.
