I have a 2002 PT cruiser that did the exact same thing immediately after a front end collision. After I got my car back it seemed to be intermittent and I did not act on it. But I should have because it did not happen until the accident. It got worse last summer to the point I could no longer ignore it. When I spoke to the service technician at the dealership he told me that there is a computer part that regulates the dash that was defective and had to be replaced and was covered by my warranty. But the service invoice also lists corroded battery wiring that needed to be replaced. Hope this helps.
