SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE IN VERO BEACH, FL, ON 8/29/2017 WHO DETERMINED WHICH MODULES NEEDED REPLACEMENT RELATED TO MY RECALL (S61/NHTSA 16V-668). I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE PARTS REQUIRED ARE BACKLOGGED NATIONWIDE. IT HAS BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS SINCE I INITIALLY RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE CONTINUE TO BE AT RISK. WHEN WILL THE PARTS BE AVAILABLE?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WOULDN'T START. I REMOTE STARTED MY CAR WITH THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE CAR RAN NORMAL ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH LITE UP, RADIO WAS PLAYING, AIR ON EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT SHUT RIGHT OFF BEFORE I COULD EVEN TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION. THE RED SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASH BY THE SPEEDOMETER. NOW THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL START IS IF YOU REMOTE START THE CAR, UNLOCK IT AND PUT KEY IN IGNITION AND TURN TO ON POSITION. BUT SOMETIMES IT STILL DOESN'T START THAT WAY EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRY IT A COUPLE TIMES. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR ASAP!!! I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY 6 MONTHS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

STEERING
WE HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM FOR THE HARD STEERING. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS GOING OR HAS GONE OUT WHICH LEADS TO THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. THE HARD STEERING HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING. IT IS ALSO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SHIFTING,RACING RPMS,BANGING AND CLUNKY PLUS THE GEARS ARE SEARCHING. THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ALONG WITH ITS RECALLS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE WHEN PRESENT OR ENGINE LIGHT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT CALL IT NOT WORKING. BUT THEY STATE ITS WORKING FINE BECAUSE NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER GAVE ME A HARX TIME WITH IT AS A TRADE IN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY HEAR THE NOISE BYT STATE THEY ARE FINE WHEN IN FACT THEY DONT ALWAYS STOP WHEN PRESSING DOWN. MY FRONT END AND STEERING HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND REPLACED SO MANY TIMES . THE FRONT END SCAPES CLUNKS STILL. I EXPLAINED TO BOTH CHRYSLER CORP AND ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER IN WEST PALM BEACH. IM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE A BAD CAR SERVICE RECORDS STATE ALL THE REPAIRS. AND THE DEALER IS NO HELP WHEN THE CAR WAS BUMBER TO BUMBER COVERAGE .

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A LEGIT BUSINESS, NORTH AMERICAN AUTO GROUP. THEY ARE RIP OFFS. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD AND TOLD ME I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT MAKING MUCH OFF THE CAR FOR THEM TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THOSE, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WENT BACK TO LET THEM FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO BRAKES AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY, THAT'S UP TO ME TO GET CHANGED ON MY OWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR HAS LEFT ME WITH A DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. THE STRUTS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY, 2017, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH THE MESSAGE "GASCAP" SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE GASCAP THREE TIMES. I DON'T SEE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN IN 2013 ON THE CAR FAX REPORT FOR FUEL TANK PROBLEM RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS SINCE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, THEY NO LONGER BLOW ANY WARM OR HOT AIR, WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ON MAXIMUM HEAT. THE HEATER CORE IS BLOCKED WITH SLUDGE. WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED, THE COOLANT WAS MIXED WITH A MACHINING OIL THAT IS DESIGNED TO PLUG ANY PINHOLES THAT DEVELOP IN THE RADIATOR. OVER TIME, THIS ADDITIVE CAUSES SLUDGE TO FORM IN THE COOLANT. THAT SLUDGE BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM DOES NO GOOD. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN ADVISING DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISORS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, OIL COOLER, AND OVERFLOW TANK TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS COMMON ON 2012, 2013, AND 2014 CHRYSLER 200'S. THE PICTURES I HAVE ATTACHED SHOW THE SLUDGE IN THE OVERFLOW TANK THAT FORMS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. THE PLUGGED HEATER CORE PREVENTS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FROM WORKING, CREATING HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS BLOCKED VISIBILITY WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGGING OVER, PARTICULARLY DURING WINTER MONTHS. ADDITIONALLY, SNOW OR ICE PRECIPITATION BUILDUP ON THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE MELTED WHILE THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED.
