POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AFTER HAVING AN UPDATE DONE TO THE TCM AND PCM. THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO ISSUES BEFORE THIS OCCURRED AND NOW IT SHIFTS HORRIBLY WHILE LUNGING FORWARD COMING TO STOPS. UPON DECELERATION, IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED THEN DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR LUNGING THE CAR FORWARD. EVEN AFTER STOPPING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES LAG ON TAKE OFFS FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN TAKE OFF LIKE THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED, TWO TIMES THEY TRIED RE-UPDATING IT AND THE THIRD TIME REPLACING MY PCM BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED THIS SHIFTING. IN FACT, AFTER THE PCM REPLACEMENT, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLIP IN 8TH AND 9TH GEARS AROUND 1750 RPMS. IT WILL ALSO DELAY SHIFTING UP WHEN CLIMBING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS RUNNING AT HIGH RPMS (5000-7000). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROCESS SINCE THE FIRST UPDATE WAS PERFORMED IN THE MIDST OF FRONT HUB REPLACEMENT BACK IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER WITH NO IDEAS ON HOW TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THE CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE SHOP 7 TIMES FOR REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.

AIR BAGS
ON SATURDAY 2/27/16, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (WE HAD THE GREEN LIGHT) AND A FORD F-150 TRUCK RAN A RED LIGHT FORCING US TO T-BONE HIS TRUCK. WE WERE GOING APPROX 25 MPH AND THE TRUCK WAS GOING APPROX 40 MPH WHEN WE COLLIDED. THE AIRBAGS ON MY CHRYSLER 200 DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE AIRBAGS ON THE F-150 DID DEPLOY. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH RECEIVED HEAD, NECK AND BACK PROBLEMS FROM THIS ACCIDENT BUT THANKFULLY NOTHING EXTREMELY MAJOR. I AM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM AN OWNER OF A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 AND ON FEB. 1ST WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY A FIRE STARTED IN THE INTERNAL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR. A WEEK PRIOR BEFORE THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT A COMPANY LIKE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN 2011, I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 200S. THE LIST PRICE WAS $27, 835. IN 2015, THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLEW OUT COLD AIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. I WENT TO LLOYD'S AUTOMOTIVE AND PAID $300 FOR A HEATING FLUSH AS LLOYD'S INFORMED ME THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. LATER IN 2015 MY HEAT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO LLOYD'S AUTO AND WAS INFORMED THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS ACCURATE BUT CHRYSLER HAD NOT ORDERED A RECALL. OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE HAVING TO HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. I RESIDE IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW ZERO. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED. THIS LIMITED MY SOCIAL OUTINGS AS I HAVE A CHILD AND COULD NOT HAVE HIM DRIVING AROUND IN A COLD CAR. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THE HEATING CORE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOOK MY PERFECTLY DRIVING 200 IN FOR AN OIL SERVICE AND TIRE ROTATION. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE (NO DETAILED EXPLANATION SO I ASSUMED IT WAS THE RADIO SECURITY) NOV 21TH, 2015. I WAITED FOR THE SERVICE TO BE COMPLETED AND UPON DRIVING HOME NOTICED THE CAR ACTING WEIRD, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT DOWN SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND LUNGING FORWARD TERRIBLY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE SOFTWARE FLASH WOULD TAKE 1,000 MILES-WHAT? SOUNDS LIKE BULL S**T TO ME BUT I DROVE IT OVER 1500 MILES FOR CHRISTMAS IN IN WITH EVERYONE RIDING ALONG ASKING WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY CAR! I CONTACTED THE DEALER UPON MY RETURN AND AFTER SOME EXCUSES AND A SERVICE MANGER WITH AN ATTITUDE IT NOW GOES BACK IN JAN 9TH, 2016 BUT THEY ARE ALREADY TRYING TO BLOW IT OFF.....DROVE PERFECT TILL MY DEALER AND FCA SCREWED IT UP! IF THEY EVEN ATTEMPT TO TELL ME IT NEEDS TO REFLASH OR ITS MY DRIVING STYLE I WILL IMMEDIATELY REQUEST A TEST DRIVE IN A NEW ONE AND VIDEO IT. UPDATE FROM DEC 31, 2015 FCA TELLS ME MY CAR HAD THE TCM AND PCM UPDATED WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. UPDATE FROM FEB 8, 2016 WELL AFTER TWO MORE VISITS......THIS CAR STILL DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT CORRECTLY WITHOUT A LURCH FORWARD BETWEEN 2ND AND 1ST. SOME NICE PIECES OF CRAP YOU HAVE BUILT IN DETROIT CHRYSLER! FEB 25,2016-CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LUNGING FORWARD WHILE TRYING TO STOP BUT NO KNOWN REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. KEEP DRIVING IT! ITS A SAFETY HAZARD AND INJURY WAITING TO HAPPEN.
