POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car displays several symptoms of other recalls on the exact same model. It has high vibration when sitting idle and while driving, the car also has issues in shifting gears on it's own, either while trying to decrease speed, or increase speed. As if it is stuck in gear. The car is an automatic. On top of this, when taking off, the car jerks and stalls in power, instead of going forward as it should, making pulling out incredibly dangerous. Again, these are all symptoms of recalls that have been made on these exact models of cars. I tried contacting the dealership, but they said if my VIN doesn't have the recall listed there is nothing that can be done. I think this is insane. The vibration has been noted in recalls to wear away parts of the tire axel, which leads to breaking of important components that move the wheels and can be dangerous if they were to break while the car was moving.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
For weeks now ive been noticing a weird grinding or dry rubbing sound underneath the front end of my chrysler. Checked it out a few times, as though i am not a mechanic i can identify the basics of something not right. However, after my husband and his brother both looking it over on seperate occasions, they have noted a leak under the carriage of the car. Often here recently, the guage senses an over heating of some sort. Since this notice, we have replaced the oil cooler twice in a year; as well as flushed the hoses associated with the coolant reservoir. Fixed temporary but has now already started getting too hot. Which simply tells me that its something further internal thats wrong. I was informed of an engine recall: L33 of my chrysler model. However havent seen one on this website. When driving yesterday, i noticed a light on my cluster that indicated the traction has failed. When i brake, all u hear or feel is a vibration under your feet, up front. I replaced my brake pads all 4, within the past 4 months and theyre now rusted over and u notice a brake fluid leak on the front right side. After a light, the grinding noise, the vibration and the overheating; i am positive that this will eventually cause a car stall or worse a fatal accident. My brakes could eventually fail while driving in traffic, causing a crash. Or my car could just all out stalland the cluster can trip and i could be in harms way if at the time it does this i could be goin 70 on the interstate or in a turninglane in town and without proper fix; it could easily cause a fatal accident and i could be killed or worse my children!

ENGINE
Engine stalls, and dies constantly. Seems to help if it idles for 15 minutes prior to driving even in the warm summer months. All lights went off, looked like a Christmas tree, car floored wouldn't go above 30 mph. Made it home, next day all the lights were off except for the check engine light.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
My 2013 Chrysler 200 has stalled or shut off completely while driving. The steering wheel and brakes lock up and the car just stops running. There are never any warnings or lights ahead of time to indicate there is any problem. The car simply just shuts off while driving and will not start back up right away. After sitting for about an hour untouched, the car will start right up and run fine until it happens again. No mechanic can diagnose it because there are no lights or codes to run to say what the issue is. My third time this happened, I was in a busy intersection attempting to make a turn and was almost t-boned when my car couldn't move out of the intersection. After the car shuts down and I attempt to restart right away, all the lights on the dash light up, but none stay on once the car stops cranking or even when the car does actually start up again. This is very dangerous for myself and any one else I may have in my car with me. I am a mother and I do not feel safe ever having my kids in my car with me. I've read online that this has happened to so many others but no recall will ever be done to fix this issue.

And being told it is still not drivable after being worked in by Chrysler mechanics for over 6 months.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
3 ongoing problems. 1. Our car dies while driving. This is Dangerous. Tonight is the 3rd (maybe 4th) time in about a year or year and a half or so. The first two times modesto jeep dodge chrysler determined it was too low on oil (but the mileage was much less than when oil change was due according to my oil change sticker. Also very dangerous because there is never an oil light that comes on the dashboard to warn oil low. About 3 months ago it died 500 miles before oil change supposed to be due. Tonight it died again with no warning. Oil change is not supposed to be due for another 1000 miles. Very scary. No warning light. 2. After I'm stopped at a stop sign or light then during acceleration car jerks. 3. I've had this car about 3 years. The airbag light came on shortly after I owned the car. Never been in an accident in this car.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
While driving, my car will accelerate when depressing the brake. If cruise control is set to say 60 mph, the car will continue to accelerate well after the desired speed has been reached. When pressing the brake to disengage cruise control, the car will still try to accelerate for about 10 seconds, even while depressing the brake. I'm not sure if that is related to this, or if it is a separate issue, but my car will also stall out when coming to a stop or slowing down, especially if braking hard. When the engine stalls, power steering and braking are also lost. My car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections, on a busy highway coming to a red light or slowing down because of a hazard in front of me, and at stop signs. I also check my oil regularly, and do routine oil changes. When I check the oil, and when I have my oil changed, the oil level is almost ALWAYS low, and has even been completely empty a couple times. I've confirmed that there is no leaking under the car. Sometimes I smell burnt oil coming from my car. I fill the oil up, and less than a month, and the oil is almost gone. More worrisome to me, is the fact that even though the oil was completely empty, my oil light never came on. So it was by luck that I checked the oil and noticed that it was empty because I wouldn't have otherwise known. My check engine light will come on from time to time, and I have it checked for the codes each time. The following are the codes that have shown up every single time: P2172; U1424; P106A

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Since purchasing my car, I’ve experienced at least 9 instances of the vehicle completely cutting off, while driving. I have one of these incidents on video. The car will cut off, tell me to “Shift to Park and hit the Start button” while in traffic, posing severe danger to myself and other drivers. There are recalls describing this exact problem, yet my VIN number is not included in the recall. Most recently, my vehicle stalled/cut off immediately after getting an oil change. Once restarted, began running rough, shaking, and would not accelerate. I took it to a mechanic who said the problems all seemed the same as the recalled vehicles and all subsequent problems stemmed from the main power train issue. I was advised to take it to the dealer, which I did, and the dealership is trying to charge me $3,705 to fix a commonly known and previously recalled issue with this year/make/model vehicle. I’ve contacted FCA and they cannot give me any answers, explanation, or assistance.

I was driving and stopped started taking off and my car shut off in the middle of the road as I was crossing a busy intersection. It would not allow me to cut my hazards on. Then after a couple mins it started back up. The engine light came on and then went away. I received a letter in the mail from FCA on 5/17/21 stating powertrain software needed to be updated. This needs to be labeled as a safety hazard this could have caused an accident. This vehicle shuts off in the middle of the street randomly from this and the dealer is telling me they cannot fix this until Friday. I spoke with someone at the FCA recall center who advised this is doing this because it needs that software update this needs to be labeled as a safety recall not an update.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My service airbag light comes on and off frequently. sometimes it'll be on when i start my car, and the it'll turn off again when i make a turn, adjust my seat, etc. its a strong belief that im having the underseat wire harness issue that many others are having. i have yet to take it to a mechanic to have it looked at as i don't readily have the money to repair an issue, especially considering I've seen a few people say they have this issue addressed repeatedly. this is a major safety concern and i fear if i happen to get into an accident that my airbag will not deploy because of it.

SEATS
I was driving and I went over a speed bump. The driver's side headrest exploded outward and hit my head very hard. Upon inspection, it looks like a plastic brace failed. The dealer says there is no recall. They say it will cost $700. There were no warnings.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS AN ENGINE HAS TIME TO COOL COMPLETELY DOWN IT SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN AFTER RESTART AND ACCELERATION. IF I START TO SLOW DOWN IT WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND TELL ME TO PUT INTO PARK. IT HAS DONE IT COUNTLESS TIMES ON BUSY ROADWAYS, WHEN IM COMING TO A STOP AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT IS STARTING TO ALSO SHUT OFF AS I AM TURNING. NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT ITS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IF THE ENGINE HASNT COMPLETELY WARMED UP BEFORE I DRIVE IT. THEY HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN CHRYSLER 200S BUT APPARENTLY MINE DOESNT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL AND SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT IT DOESNT. SEEMS AS THOUGH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THE 200S ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT ONES ARE FIXED. IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR FAMILIES TO DIE IN CAR ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY FINALLY FIX THE PROBLEM!?

AIR BAGS
BOUGHT MY CAR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL PRE OWNED CAR DEALERSHIP, SOON AFTER MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THEIR MECHANIC WOULDN'T FIX IT WITHOUT TRYING TO CHARGE ME EVEN THOUGH I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 4 YEAR WARRANTY. IT'S STILL NOT FIXED AFTER TWO YEARS, I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT, AND NOW I'M FINDING OUT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE ISSUE AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER FIXED BUT THEY SAID IT WAS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANY KIND OF REPAIR, I'VE BEEN ABSOLUTELY DUPED BY THIS DEALERSHIP AND IM FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY LOVED ONES WHEN I DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD KILL MY LOVED ONES AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
