UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS NOTICED IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER STARTING. THE ODOR INCREASES AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND WARMS UP. I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISSIPATE THE SMELL SINCE BRINGING IN OUTSIDE AIR THROUGH THE BLOWER SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE. IT HAS REALLY GOTTEN BAD IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 2.4L ENGINE THAT OVER THIS PASSED WEEK HAS STALLED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHOW SIGNS OF "LAGGING" AND WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS JUST SHUT OFF. I AM CURRENTLY A COLLEGE STUDENT AND RELY ON HAVING A VEHICLE TO DRIVE, SINCE I LIVE 6 HOURS FROM HOME. TONIGHT I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND IT STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I WOULD GET ABOUT 100 YARDS AND IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN, FINALLY I GOT A SAFE PLACE TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY APARTMENT. TOMORROW I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS BUT I GO THROUGH THE MENU ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALWAYS SAY "SYSTEM: OK" SO NO WARNING CODE IS POPPING UP. WHICH I KNOW WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND JUST SEND ME ON MY WAY. BUT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE POWERS OFF AND ONE OF THE TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR AND AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN ABOUT IT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
"TAMARA RECALL" WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHETHER IT'S HOT OUTSIDE OR RAINY, MY WIPER BLADES WOULD COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND STAY ON FOR ABOUT A MIN. WHEN I'M ALSO DRIVING, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS WATER RUNNING THROUGH MY CAR. ONCE AGAIN, EVEN ON SUNNY DAYS I STILL HEAR WATER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENS OFTEN, SO THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DATE. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE. I TOTALLY DISAGREE !

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY 200S TO COMMUTE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I DRIVE 114 MILES A DAY. THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE. *DO NOT BUY THIS CAR* IT WAS AN OK CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT. EVERY TIME IT STALLS OUT I LOOSE BREAK AND SEARING FUNCTIONALITY. VERY DANGEROUS. TWICE IT HAS STALLED OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY CAR WHILE ON A MAJOR HWY 45 IN HOUSTON. NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE AND FEEL HELPLESS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME WAS A LOT CLOSER CALL. MY CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON A HWY TO HWY ON RAMP. (ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE LANE DIVIDER) I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BREAK AND ALL MY STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT TO A STOP. AT THAT POINT I HAD CARS BACKING UP BEHIND ME AND HONKING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY. (THIS COULD HAVE GONE A MUCH DIFFERENT WAY. ON A SINGLE LANE ON RAMP FROM BELTWAY 8 TO HWY 249 4-5 STORIES IN THE AIR WITH CARS ALL MOVING AT 45-65 MPH MY CAR STALLED IN A 90 DEGREE TURN. I'M LUCKY I'M NOT DEAD.) I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND NOT THROWING ANY CODES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ONE MORNING, WHILE DRIVING, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE SWITCH WAS ON OFF. THE FOG AND BRIGHT LIGHTS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE BLINKERS DID NOT FUNCTION. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, NOR SOLVENT WOULD FUNCTION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE TIPM. NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED.

SEAT BELTS
WENT TO BUCKLE UP AND THE LATCH AND THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE DOESNT LATCH. NO CAR SHOULD EVER HAVE THE SEATBELT NOT WORK AS ITS THE MOST CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT ON THE CAR. AND MY CAR IS A 2011 WITH ONLY 54000 MILES. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY AND TOOK TO GARBER CHRYSLER, BUICK WHO SAID THEY LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS NOT COVERED. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AGAIN AND AFTER THEY TALKED TO GARBER SAID ITS NOT COVERED. THIS IS SO UNACCETABLE AS THEY KNOW THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND DON'T FIX THEM.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. ON 08/31/2015 THE CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND A HARNESS THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SINCE WE DO RUN THE LIABILITY OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE CAR HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AFTER VEHICLE REACHES HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 30 OR SO MILES THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIE RODS AND DID A ALIGNMENT. 2 DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS AS WELL AS THE ALIGNMENT WAS WAY OUT OF SPECS, TOOK BACK TO SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED SWAY BAR AND LEFT STRUT AND ALIGNMENT. FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME SOUND IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT RUINING A NEW SET OF TIRES. TAKING BACK TO THE SHOP FOR THIRD AND FINAL TIME.

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011. WHEN I FIRST HIT A DEPRESSION IN THE ROADWAY IT FELT LIKE I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. I JUST BRUSHED IT ASIDE THINKING THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INSTANCE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE CAR, I WAS COMING BACK ON HIGHWAY 80 FROM TAHOE DOWN TO THE VALLEY. THE GROOVES IN THE ROAD HAD ME WHITE KNUCKLED DRIVING, AS I PRETTY MUCH FELT THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN A 65 MPH ZONE, I WAS DOING 40 IN THE SLOW LANE TO TRY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THAT CAR ON HIGHWAY 80 ANYMORE, AND WHEN I KNOW THERE ARE DEPRESSIONS AND SLIGHT HIGHWAY PAVEMENT ROUGHNESS DURING MY EVERY DAY COMMUTE, I AM SURE TO GRAB THE WHEEL TIGHTLY, AS I KNOW ALL THE AREAS ALONG MY COMMUTE THAT MAKES DRIVING OVER THOSE SPOTS SHAKY. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CHECK THIS VEHICLE OUT. IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SELL IT BECAUSE IT FEELS UNSAFE, BUT A DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE ME WHAT THE BLUE BOOK IS WORTH, AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT SELLING TO A PRIVATE PARTY DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. BY THE WAY, I FOUND OUT THE STRUTS HAVE BEEN LEAKING (UNDER 40K MILES!!!) AND THAT IS A COST OF 1,441.00. THIS CAR REALLY IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT FIND ANY LEMON LAWS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT DID FIND SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, I BELIEVE I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS. ANOTHER HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING
THERE'S A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE SUPPOSEDLY COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. I HAVE YET TO FIND ANYONE PINPOINT WHAT IT IS PLUS I'M TOLD THE WARRANTY IS UP. I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE NOISE COMING AND GOING LAST YEAR. NO ONE HEARD IT UNTIL MAY 17 WHEN I DROVE ABOUT 40 MILES AT 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. SINCE THE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE NOISE TO START HAS SHORTEN TO DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AT 30 MPH. I CAN'T EVEN GO ACROSS TOWN TO GET GROCERIES W/O THE NOISE STARTING UP AND GETTING REALLY BAD. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALER TWICE AND 2 OTHER MECHANICS I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER THE INTERMITTENT STEERING SHAFT OR THE STEERING RACK. NOW ONLINE I SEE A RECALL ON SOME RIVET. EVEN A CALL TO CHRYSLER ITSELF YIELDED NO RESULTS. I'M TOLD THIS REPAIR WILL COST $1,000 TO $2,000!!! I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY!! PLEASE, PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!! I'M DEPENDENT ON MY CAR!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT TURN ON WHEN I NEED THEM TO. HIGHLY DANGEROUS, I HAVE PULLED OVER IN THE RAN BEFORE BECAUSE MY WIPERS ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE. ADDITIONALLY, WIPERS WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO. NOT AS DANGEROUS, BUT STILL VERY ANNOYING. CHRYSLER TIPM ISSUE, THE SAME ONE AS PREVIOUS ISSUE 18 MONTHS AGO. WIPERS TURN ON RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES WON'T TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. REPLACED THE TIPM 18 MONTHS AGO, AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO PAY (STARTED A TICKET WITH THEIR NATIONAL CUSTOMER CARE). ISSUE HAS RETURNED COMPLETELY 100% IDENTICALLY AS BEFORE. I'M BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I'VE REOPENED THE TICKET. THEY SAID THEY WILL "SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO"

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR DIED WILL DRIVING. HAD DIAGNOSE AND WAS TOLD ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. HEARD CHRYSLER HAD PROBLEMS WITH 300 MODEL. MY SONS 200S MODEL HAS SAME MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR AS 2011 300 MODEL BUT CHRYSLER SAID 200S MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED. I BELIEVE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE 200S HAS THE 3.6L MOTOR AND 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. SAME MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR THAT THE 300 HAS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN. IT WAS LIKE DRIVING MANUALLY. I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 200 TO PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE STEERING WAS FINE FOR A DAY THEN IT WENT BACK TO BEING HARD TO TURN. I TOOK IT BACK TO PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AGAIN. IT LASTED FOR THREE DAYS AND IT WENT BACK TO BEING HARD TO TURN. I AGAIN RETUNED TO PEP BOYS AND THEY THEN SAID THAT MY RACK IN PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET THE WORK DONE. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER, THAT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MY CAR WAS NOT YET 2 YEARS OLD. THIS WAS RIDICULOUS. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FRONT END. I WAS TOLD BY A PEP BOYS MECHANIC THAT THEY HAD WORKED ON OVER 100 CARS (CHRYSLER 200'S) THROUGH ENTERPRISE RENTAL AND THEY HAD SO MANY CARS WITH THE STEERING ISSUE THAT THEY STOPPED WORKING ON THEM AND JUST DO THE TUNE UPS. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT. MY CAR IS STILL IN THIS POSITION. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET REPAIRS DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. I STILL DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG WITH A NEW CAR. NOW I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY TURN SIGNAL. WHEN I TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM. WHEN I TURN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON, THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. I, AGAIN REPEAT, THIS IS A NEW CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE OCCURRENCES. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN ITS SECOND YEAR, AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM SOMEONE. THANK YOU.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2011 CHRYSLER 200 AND WITHIN A WEEKS TIME NOTICED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS A SMALL OR LARGE BUMP EITHER. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I ALMOST TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. I CLIMBED UNDER THE CAR AND REALIZED ON THE REAR PASSENGER RIGHT THERE WAS A LITTLE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE STRUT ITSELF SO I KNOW THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I SLID OVER AND LOOKED AT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHICH HAD NO FLUID LEAKAGE. AFTER OWNING THE CAR A MONTH NOW, IM REALIZING THAT BOTH SIDES ARE DOING IT AND ONLY THE ONE STRUT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING. THE CAR IS TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD CARS THAT NEEDED STRUTS REPLACED BEFORE AND NEVER HAVE I FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS CAR AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. SO WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IF ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEM IN THE CAR. I NEED TO GET IT FIXED BUT ITS TOUGH TO DO WHEN YOU JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ARE IN NEED OF GETTING YOUR PLATES FOR THE CAR($1700). AND TO FIX THIS ISSUE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL RUN ME $600 AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE CERTAIN PARTS IF THEY ARE HORRIBLY BAD AS WELL. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A STRUT ISSUE BUT WHEN I DO GET IT FIXED I WILL REPORT MY COMPLETE FINDINGS OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE SUSPENSION. *TR
