ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on-ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously, this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue.

ENGINE
The car engine periodically loses power. My mechanic did a diagnostics and said the problem is with the Throttle Control Actuator, the code is P2173. Although my car is not included in the recall, my Mechanic is sure it is a default issue by Chrysler. I am experiencing the same malfunctioning problems as other Chryslers that were being recalled for engine losing power. This has happened while driving on the expressway, I had to put on my caution light and pray until I could get to my Mechanic's shop. I informed Chrysler about this and I kept getting the runaround. This car only has 36,000 miles on it, even though it's a 2013; my Mother owned this car before me and we both take very good care of all the maintenance for the car. The safety problem is that this issue can happen anytime without warning and I am afraid to even drive the car especially on the highway or expressway, but it is unavoidable at times.

My car is using an excessive amount of oil. I did an oil change on April 4th and by May 4th my car was telling me I need an oil change. I had not even driven it the recommended 3,000 miles before doing an oil change. I added the 1 1/2 quarts of oil that my car showed was low and had only driven it for a 2 hour trip before it needed oil again. It also smelled like it was burning.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 75 mph, the hood inadvertently opened without warning. The contact immediately pulled over and noticed that the striker latch had detached from the hood and remained in the socket attached to the engine. The contact tied down the hood with material in his truck and then drove to a hardware store where he bought a metal chain and some clamps to temporarily hold the hood in place until he reached his destination. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where they informed him that they were unaware of such failures. The dealer referred him to an independent body shop for the repair of the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Chrysler 200 (2015) engine shuts down with no notice. I have to literally stop, put the car in park and restart the ignition in the middle of the road to get the car moving again. Mostly when deacceleration (turning a corner/slowing down for a traffic stop, going over a bump, etc.). The electrical system just shuts off. Notice that the temperature outside is usually warm. Seems to do better in cooler weather. The car does not get hot (temperature gauge has been tested). Oil is full and gets regular changes. It is Extremely Dangerous. Many times throughout this month I have almost been hit. Angry people cuss you out for stopping in the middle of traffic. Not only does it cause me high anxiety but the safety of myself and my grandchild is at risk. I am afraid to drive it but have no other means of transportation. Message displays: Put gear in park, restart engine. No engine light comes on so the mechanics are unable to diagnosis issue. It has been put on the code reader but not codes appear. Midas said it was the Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector (R24) . That they couldn't fix it but that it should be under warranty but it wasn't for my VIN # . Prior ( a week or so before) the airbag alert illuminated on the dash (2 different times) but went off after I adjusted my seat. At one time after I started having problems my low light beam indicator said my bulb was out but then went off and my low light still worked (not burnt out). Now my control in the middle of my dash work.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
About 2yrs ago I had my alternator replaced when I broke down 2hrs from home by Jd ByRider in Owensboro Ky and yesterday I was driving down the street when I noticed my car wouldn’t kick into gear at 35mph. I got to the stop sign when traction light and ABS lights and brake light lit up on my dash and my stereo clock went black! I shut it off Tried to start it back and it just clicked. After finally getting it to start back up, on my message center it read rear lamp bulb out and dash just started flashing different things. It was so fast that I couldn’t catch every light that flashed. JD ByRyder replaced the alternator for me as my car was under warranty at that time. I’ve also had electrical problems with power windows and charging components in my car. When my car did this yesterday my wheel locked and I wasn’t able to steer or anything so it posed a safety risk of crashing. This is a repeated problem and it needs to be checked into as it could’ve been very fatal should I had been on a highway going faster than 35mph. You can get the repair invoice from JD ByRyder in Owensboro under [XXX] 2013 Chrysler 200. Car is available for y’all to check upon request if needed. Due to covid I don’t have the money to have it repaired again. I also have grandchildren that are with me everytime I am in my car. This could’ve been a serious fatal accident. Email me with results from this [XXX] and my phone number is [XXX] call or text if need to get in touch with me faster than emailing. Thank you and god bless.
