VISIBILITY/WIPER
WITH THE WIPERS ON, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY WILL START TO SKITTER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD THEN STOP AND START AGAIN THEN SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN. IF THEY ARE TURNED OFF THE WIPERS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN THEN FINALLY STOP HALFWAY IN THE GLASS THEN FINALLY GOTO THE RESTING POSITION. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AT ANY TIME OF YEAR. I HAVE HAD THE WIPER SWITCH REPLACED HOPING THAT THE RELAY IN THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY WAS THE ISSUE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

POWER TRAIN, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
I HAVE BEEN TIWED TWICE A D STUCK ON SIDE OF THE ROAD 4 TIMES. I'LL BE DRIVING ALONG WHEN EVERYTHING JUST QUITS. ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ONE TIME I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON A HIGHWAY. COULDN'T GET CAR 100% OFF ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TRY TO RESTART CAR IT TRYS TO START. I LET GO OF KEY AND CAJR JUST KEEPS TRYING TO START. AFTER BEING TOWED TWICE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. SO WHEN IT QUITS I GIVE IT ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND IT STARTS. GOOGLED AND PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER, JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2011 AND DID A RECALL ON THE 2015S. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY AREN'T THEY FIXING IT??

ENGINE
I JUST HAD MY CAR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTED AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST 72HOURS, WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I AM ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON, HOWEVER FEAR FOR MY SAFETY NOW WHENEVER I DRIVE IT. THESE EXACT ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS, DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURE AND I BELIEVE THIS MODEL HAS BEEN SIMILARLY EFFECTED. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A ENGINE RECALL AS WELL, DUE TO THE IDENTICAL ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING.
