THE ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS PARKED ALMOST A MONTH AGO IN PERFECT CONDITION, I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR AND BEFORE STARTING THE CAR I NOTICED IT WAS DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS IN NO ACCIDENT AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME. UPON INSPECTION THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE ROD BROKE INSIDE THE ACTIVE HEAD REST. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. IT IS HIGHLY CONCERNING THAT THE HEAD REST COULD GO OFF AT ANY MINUTE DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY OF THE HEADREST. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF.

THE PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT (AHR) DEPLOYED DESPITE THE CAR BEING PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. THE HEADREST WAS POORLY MANUFACTURED AS A PLASTIC PIECE INSIDE THE HEADREST CRACKED AND THEREFORE JOLTED FORWARD THE HEADREST ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WAS OTHERWISE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THE FAULTY HEADREST PRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR COULD HAVE CAUSED NECK/HEAD TRAUMA IF A PASSENGER HAD BEEN IN THE CAR.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO BE TOLD THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED AND NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED AS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO I HAD TO PUT ZIP STRIPS ON IT SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PART TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER BUYING, THE CAR SITS DEAD. NOTICED THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW SO I ADDED COOLANT AND ONCE I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE IT HAD THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED AND HAS NOT MOVED SINCE! I JUMPED IT BUT IT STALLED OUT BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET THE HOOD CLOSED AND DRIVE ANYWHERE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE ISSUE HERE IS THE ALTERNATOR! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET??

REFERENCE RECALL P60 FOR ALTERNATOR DIODE ISSUE. THE COMPLAINT VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH A DEAD SHORT TO GROUND CONDITION WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. VEHICLE RUNNING WILL INTERMITTENTLY DEAD SHORT TO GROUND. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THIS CONDITION AND THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SHORTED AND NONFUNCTIONAL. IN THIS CONDITION I REMOVED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE ALTERNATOR AND VOLTAGE WAS RESTORED. REPLACED THE CABLE AND OBSERVED THE SHORT CONDITION AGAIN. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE WAS NOT ADEQUATELY DEFINED INITIALLY. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS TO FCA DIRECTLY AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER OF: 76150991, THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THE REPAIR IS OUT-OF-POCKET UNTIL CHRYSLER ENGINEERING TO THE NHTSA MAKES A DIFFERENT DECISION. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WILL UNKNOWINGLY REPLACE THE BATTERY AND START DRIVING AGAIN, PUTTING THEIR LIVES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK.

MY ENGINE KEEPS STALLING WHEN I DECELERATE OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN JUST ONE WEEK AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I SLOWED DOWN ON I-77 DUE TO SOMETHING LAYING IN THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO HURT AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO CRANK IT BACK UP. THANK GOD IT CRUNK IT IN TIME TO KEEP ME FROM BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR SEMITRAILER TRUCK. *TR

I GOT A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 FROM MEGA AUTO OUTLET IN STAFFORD,VA.3-30-20 AND TRIED TO TAKE IT BACK TO MEGA AUTO OUTLET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY ABOUT WHY THERE WASN'T A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND WHY WAS THERE SOME MUCH NOISE FROM THE REAR. THE SALESMAN THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND TOLD HIM THERE WASN'T AND I WAS GOING TO BRING THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT A INSPECTION STICKER. BUT HE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND SAID TO ME IF I WAS TO BRING THE CAR BACK THAT THE POLICE WOULD THERE AND NOT TO BRING CAR BACK. I TOOK TO LOCAL GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING NOISES IN THE REAR OF CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I FOUND TOUT THAT THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO? *TR
