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.

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.

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.

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.

AIR BAGS
MY HEADRESTS WERE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL HOWEVER, ONCE THEY WERE REPLACED MY CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS BRUSHED OFF AND TOLD THAT IT WOULD TURN OFF AFTER A DAY OR SO. IT HAS NOT AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD (BY THE DEALERSHIP) THAT I CAN BRING IT IN HOWEVER, I'LL BE CHARGED $500.00 TO REPAY AND REPLACE. I HAD NO ISSUES OR INDICATION PRIOR TO MY HEADREST BEING REPLACED LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN NOT ONLY DISHEARTENING BUT HAD ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF SERVING MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IN FEAR THAT SHOULD I BE AN ACCIDENT, WILL MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING 40-45 MPH IN TRAFFIC WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL AFTER SITTING FOR 30 MIN TO 2 HOURS. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE IT DIED, IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY. AFTER IT RESTARTED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED THEN STAYED ON SOLID FOR A COUPLE DAYS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CRANKSHFT POSITION SENSOR SO I HAD THAT REPLACED. THE CAR THEN 3 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING STARTED CHUGGING REALLY BAD. I WAS THEN TOLD THE IGNITION COIL ON #2 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. I HAD THAT REPLACED ALONG WITH ALL SPARK PLUGS AND CAR RAN THE SAME AFTER DRIVING 4-5 MILES THEN DIED AND NO RESTART. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE #2 IGNITION COIL MELTED INTO THE VALVE COVER AND IT HAD ALSO CRACKED THE VALVE COVER. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE COVER AND THE #2 IGNITION COIL AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PREMLIMINARY ESTIMATE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SENDING TOO MUCH VOLTAGE TO THAT CYLINDER.SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN 2 IGNITION COILS MELTED. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT ABILITY TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR 4 WEEKS NOW. PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM !

THE HEADREST OF MY SEAT POPPED OUT WHILE DRIVING AND FORCEFULLY HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD. THE OCCURRENCE WAS RANDOM AND HAPPENED DANGEROUSLY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. LUCKILY I WASN'T SEVERELY HARMED IN THE PROCESS HOWEVER I DO IMAGINE THAT A DRIVER CAN POTENTIALLY BE HARMED SEVERELY WITHIN THIS OCCURRENCE. I FELT AS IF I WAS PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WITH BRUTE FORCE
