ENGINE
MY CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF IT. LAST WEEK I THE ENGINE STARTED TO JUST TURN OFF WHILE AT A STOP. NO WARNINGS, NO INDICATORS THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE BY TURNING THE KEY. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF 200'S. I FEEL CHRYSLER HAS SOLD A LOT OF PEOPLE LEMONS. MORE IMPORTANTLY I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, AND SAFETY OF OTHER I SHARE THE ROAD WITH.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHEN AT AN IDLE OR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A STOP. IT HAS DONE THIS NOW ABOUT 12 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. MY CAR JUST MADE IT TO 53,000 MILES AND HAS ALWAYS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE DIED. THE FIRST TIME THAT IT EVER HAPPENED I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND...NOTHING. THE ENGINE HAS DIED AND STALLED 3 TIMES SINCE BEING IN THE SHOP.

SEATS
I WAS A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN A CHRYSLER 200 2013. WE WERE ON A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A VIOLENT JOLT AND INJURIES TO MYSELF. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DEPLOY. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH..NO POT HOLES. NOTHING HIT THE CAR. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. IT WAS SUDDEN,LOUD AND ABRUPT.*DT*JB*DT *TP

ENGINE
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A WHILE NOW. I LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS BELOW 40 DEGREES MORE OFTEN THAN IT IS ABOVE 40 DEGREES. THE ISSUE THIS CAR AND MANY OTHERS ARE PLAGUED WITH IS A HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR THAT ARE PLUGGED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR FROM CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. A PLUGGED HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR NOT ONLY IS UNSAFE; IT IS UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE. WHEN MY CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY HEAT, I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD BARRING MY VISIBILITY AND CREATING A MASSIVE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND FELLOW MOTORISTS. NOT ONLY DOES MY HEAT NOT WORK PROPERLY, MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS. TO AN INEXPERIENCED CAR OWNER THE RISK OF DESTROYING THEIR ENGINE IS INCREDIBLY HIGH. THE REPAIR CAN RUN AS HIGH AS 1500 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ERROR THAT IS NOT MY OR A SHOPS OVERSIGHT, AND AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS OVERSIGHT AT THAT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LTD (6-CYL.; MILEAGE APPROX. 79K), THE CAR BEGAN RANDOMLY LOSING POWER AND STALLING OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I ONLY HAD A FEW SECONDS TO SLOWLY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, AND I HAD TO CALL A WRECKER. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES. ALL OF MY TRIPS WERE LOCAL WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS OCCURRED, AND EACH STALL CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS SIMPLY CRUISING DOWN A HIGHWAY OR A CITY STREET, AND NOT TRAVELING UP OR DOWN ANY SIGNIFICANT SLOPES. WHEN THE CAR ENGINE DIED, THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS ALL ILLUMINATED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS DYING. I HAVE HAD CHRYSLER SERVICE RESPOND TO THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY TO GET DIAGNOSTICS, AND THE CAR IS NOT THROWING OUT ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, IT CAN BE RESTARTED AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR AWHILE... MAYBE A FEW HOURS. THE PCM (COMPUTER) WAS REPLACED AND ALL SOFTWARE PATCHES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP OVER A MONTH NOW, WHILE THEY WAIT HOPEFULLY FOR A TECHNICAL WIZARD TO IMPART EXPLORATORY REPAIR MAGIC OVER THEIR STAR NETWORK. I SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR BACK....WORKING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR OFF THE ROAD ON THE OCCASIONS THAT IT DIED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OTHERWISE. IT IS NOTED THAT NHTSA CLOSED THEIR INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200, SHORTLY AFTER A SOFTWARE PATCH WAS RELEASED IN SEPT. 2012.

GEAR SHIFTER GETS STUCK AND WON'T SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. MAKES A CLICKING NOISE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN WILL SHIFT. SEEMS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN DRIVE MODE IF IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. I AM ENTERING A DATE BELOW BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. OVER 20 IN THE LAST YEAR. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN COLD BUT NOT NECESSARILY ONLY WHEN COLD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CHRYSLER 200 2013 TOURING STALLED ON ME WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN I WAS STUCK IN A INTERSECTION FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AND HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND ME SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME MY CAR HAS STALLED ON ME AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 MONTHS, STALLED TWICE ON BUSY INTERSECTIONS I COULD HAVE DIED. IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND THE LANES WERE SO TIGHT I ALMOST COULDN'T GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND WHEN I FINALLY DID THE LANES WERE SO CLOSE THAT I COULDN'T PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY WITHOUT BEING TERRIFIED SOMEONE GOING TO COME DOWN THE HILL AND NOT SEE ME AND HIT ME. ALSO I WAS JUST DOING A BEACH CRUISE ONE TIME AND IT STALLED ON ME I HAD TO PARK AND WAIT LIKE A HOUR AND 30 MINUTES FOR HELP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DOING A RIGHT TURN ONTO MY HOUSE AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF SO I HAD TO MAKE A WIDE RIGHT TURN WITH BARELY ANY STEERING POWER COULD'VE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE CAR JUST LOSES IT POWER AND SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE GOTTEN A DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING SHOWED WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT GETTING FIXED AT ALL. I'M SEEING PEOPLE REPLACE FUEL PUMPS, STARTERS, BATTERIES, ALTERNATORS AND NO FIX FOR THE STALLING JUST WASTING MONEY. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE ON SITES ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS CAR. PEOPLE CARS ARE STALLING ON THEM AND ARE ALMOST GETTING THEM KILLED. CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE, NO RECALLS ON THE CAR AND PEOPLE ARE TAKING THEIR CARS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WASTING MONEY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP. REALLY SAD THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE WITH THESE CARS MY LIFE IS IN DANGER AND I'M ONLY 19 YEARS. THE CHRYSLER 200 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED VERY DANGEROUS CAR
