ENGINE
MY CAR STARTS RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE CAR DIES BUT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. AS I AM COMING TO A STOP IT JERKS FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE IS PRESSING IN THE THROTTLE. WHEN I REVERSE IT DIES AS WELL BUT STARTS UP. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND GUIDE IT FORWARD THE RPM GOES UP THEN DOWN AND I CAN KEEP IT AT AN IDLE. THIS IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND ITS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I DRIVE IT JERKS AS WELL. ALMOST LIKE IT IS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING.

SEATS
I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAY THE DRIVER HEADREST POP UP AND SPLIT APART DISCLOSING THE INTERNAL MECHANISM. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND I'M AMAZED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I FEAR THAT THE PASSENGER HEADREST WILL POP AND INJURE MY PASSENGER.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 WITH THE 'PENTASTAR TICK'. A KNOWN PROBLEM TO BE FOUND IN THE 2011 TO 2013 DODGE, JEEP, AND CHRYSLER. THIS ISSUE COMES FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD OR IN MY CASE THE CAMSHAFT ROCKERS AND LIFTERS. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE PENTASTAR ENGINE, TO THE POINT IT HAS RECEIVED THE NAME THE 'PENTASTAR TICK'. A 150,000 MILE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TOWARD THE CYLINDER, BUT AS FOR THE CAMSHAFT NO EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED. SINCE LESS CONSUMERS ARE AFFECTED BY OR REPORT THE CAMSHAFT ISSUE, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTO FEELS IT IS NOT LIABLE. A PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXIST BUT IF IT APPEARS AT THE END OF THE 5 YEARS/100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE FOR THE CAR OWNER, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PENTASTAR ENGINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
BREAK LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. STAYS ON FOR 30SECS AND THEN SHUTS OFF. HAPPENS WHEN GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, DOWN HILL, OR STOPPING ABRUPTLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NO CODES FOUND. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH 200S FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX. BREAK PADS WEAR DOWN AT A MUCH FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. EVEN AFTER BREAK SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED. HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE STOPPING THE CAR, JUST THE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN. 2ND. RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING IN 1 DIRECTION ONLY. IN MY INSTANCE, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO TURN LEFT NORMALLY AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN RIGHT. HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING THE CAR AND WENT TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE WHEEL. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED.
