AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A CHYSLER 200 LIMITED 2015 VEHICLE. I KEEP GETTING A LITE FOR THE PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. THE CAR "KICKS" FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY IN BETWEEN GEARS. I CALLED CHYSLER ABOUT THE CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED 2016 RECALL BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY - ??

AIR BAGS
THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO. I RECENTLY GOT IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THAT A HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE WHICH WOULD COST AROUND $2500. THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. I, UNFORTUNATELY, DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO GET THIS REPAIR. MY WARRANTY IS UP AS WELL. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY OR DO ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE IS TRYING TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IN SITTING POSITION.ALWAYS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I RE-FUEL. IT STARTS JERKING, SOMETIMES IT IS A SLIGHT JERK BUT TODAY IT JERKED VERY HARD THAT IT REALLY SCARED ME. ALSO WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT STRUGGLES TO START UP. IT WILL CONTINUE TO NOT DRIVE RIGHT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND THEN IT GOES BACK TO DRIVING FINE UNTIL I RE-FUEL AGAIN. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS NEVER STOPPED SINCE THEN. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOWS I DON'T HAVE ONE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT AND BECOME A RECALL

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LTD (6-CYL.; MILEAGE APPROX. 79K), THE CAR BEGAN RANDOMLY LOSING POWER AND STALLING OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I ONLY HAD A FEW SECONDS TO SLOWLY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, AND I HAD TO CALL A WRECKER. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES. ALL OF MY TRIPS WERE LOCAL WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS OCCURRED, AND EACH STALL CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS SIMPLY CRUISING DOWN A HIGHWAY OR A CITY STREET, AND NOT TRAVELING UP OR DOWN ANY SIGNIFICANT SLOPES. WHEN THE CAR ENGINE DIED, THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS ALL ILLUMINATED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS DYING. I HAVE HAD CHRYSLER SERVICE RESPOND TO THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY TO GET DIAGNOSTICS, AND THE CAR IS NOT THROWING OUT ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, IT CAN BE RESTARTED AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR AWHILE... MAYBE A FEW HOURS. THE PCM (COMPUTER) WAS REPLACED AND ALL SOFTWARE PATCHES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP OVER A MONTH NOW, WHILE THEY WAIT HOPEFULLY FOR A TECHNICAL WIZARD TO IMPART EXPLORATORY REPAIR MAGIC OVER THEIR STAR NETWORK. I SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR BACK....WORKING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR OFF THE ROAD ON THE OCCASIONS THAT IT DIED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OTHERWISE. IT IS NOTED THAT NHTSA CLOSED THEIR INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200, SHORTLY AFTER A SOFTWARE PATCH WAS RELEASED IN SEPT. 2012.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY HORN STARTED HONKING ON IT OWN. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS OUTSIDE THE CAR AND HAD NOT TOUCHED IT, THE HORN STARTED HONKING. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STOPPED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR THE HORN HONKS ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES LONG HONKS OTHER TIMES BRIEF. THE NEXT THING IT STARTED RAINING AND THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY THEY WOULD SWIPE HALFWAY AND STOP, ONLY WORKING WHEN ON HIGH. FINALLY I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AND IT WOULD STOP AFTER MOVING FOR ABOUT AN INCH. THE CAR STOPPED THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2 OR 3 MILES TO MY HOME AND PARK.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 CHRYSLER 200. IN DEC-2015 AT 46,000 MILES THE HEATER QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $1200. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS PASSED ITS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY CHRYSLER PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY HAD SOLD A BAD PRODUCT. 3 YEARS LATER (DEC-2018) AT 76,000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SAYING THE WHOLE COOLANT SYSTEM (HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, HOSES, THERMOSTATS AND ENGINE FLUSH) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3600. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SAYS COOLANT GOOD FOR 5 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. FIRST FAILURE AT 3 YEARS AND 46,000 MILES. SECOND FAILURE AT 3 YEARS AND 30,000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR HELP WITH REPAIRS.

AIR BAGS
MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON SO I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER WHERE I WAS TOLD A WIRE HAD HAD PROBABLY BECOME DISCONNECTED. THEY SAID ALL I HAD TO DO WAS MAKE SURE THE ENDS WERE CONNECTED. IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE. THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AGAIN. I FIGURED IT WAS THE PLUG AND DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION SINCE I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. UNTIL MY AIRBAGS EXPLODED IN MY FACE ONE DAY AS I WAS LEAVING WORK. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS HIT IN THE FACE, CHEST AND LEGS BY THE AIRBAGS. I THEN HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIRBAG WENT OFF AS DID THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG..I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ THE OTHER AIRBAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. THE COPS DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN BUT I WASN'T GIVEN A TICKET. I KNOW THEY WENT OFF BEFORE THE WRECK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. *DT*JB

DTC B002813 CIRCUIT OPEN HAD TO REMOVE PASSENGER SEAT, DISASSEMBLE, INSTALL UPDATED WIRING HARNESS, ETC. COST $1,800 TO REPAIR. COMPLAINT - THIS EXTENSIVE REPAIR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED FOR THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE CAR. WE FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS CAR DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM MUST BE THIS EXTENSIVE. VERY DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER DESIGN.
