GEAR SHIFTER GETS STUCK AND WON'T SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. MAKES A CLICKING NOISE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN WILL SHIFT. SEEMS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN DRIVE MODE IF IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. I AM ENTERING A DATE BELOW BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. OVER 20 IN THE LAST YEAR. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN COLD BUT NOT NECESSARILY ONLY WHEN COLD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAD OIL IN THE INJECTORS. THEY CLEANED IT UP AND SENT ME ON MY WAY FOR $715. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NOW SOMETIMES IT'S NOT STARTING. SO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STARTER, AFTER THE WORK THEY RUN SOME TESTS AND SAY THAT I HAVE A BAD TIPM TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY WANT AROUND $1800 NOW FOR THIS REPAIR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LOYAL DODGE FAMILY CUSTOMERS(ON OUR 5TH VEHICLE). THE REVIEWS ONLINE SHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE HAVING YOUR CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. I DEFINITELY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS. THANKS IN ADVANCE

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT?S BEEN AT LEAST 8MONTHS SINCE I?VE DRIVEN MY OWN CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAFETY HAZARDS ON IT AND I AM PREGNANT. I FEEL TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THINKING THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WANTS TO ACT UP. SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD FINANCED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD POP ON AND OFF. THE CAR STARTED TO STAY AT A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD OR LONG I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS WAS ONGOING FOR MONTHS.. IT WAS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND I DIDN?T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR AFTER JUST FINANCING ONE AND BEING YOUNG IN THE MILITARY. I HAD TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME UP BECAUSE THE SENSOR FOR MY OIL WASN'T READING AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME UP BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT MUST'VE STEPPED ON IT AND IT WOULD STILL WORK BUT THE LIGHT WOULD BE THERE. A LOT OF [XXX] BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH SO I WENT OFF OF WHAT THEY SAID. LATER ON THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTH I BELIEVE I HAD REPLACED MY LIGHTS 8 TIMES THINKING THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO CHANGE IT THAT OFTEN. AGAIN I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. BUT AFTER GETTING IT CHECKED THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME I HAVE WIRING ISSUES AND I MY HEAD LIGHTS AND HIGHBEAMS DON?T WORK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. AND AFTER LETTING A FRIEND USE MY CAR FOR A DAY I BELIEVE THEY'VE GONE OUT COMPLETELY. TODAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LITERALLY 5MIN AWAY FROM MY HOUSE TO THE STORE TO JUST TURN IT ON AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. OH AND MY BATTERY HAS GONE OUT BEFORE ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST AND IT DID THAT TO ME TODAY WHILE I WAS ON A HILL WHICH WAS REALLY DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CHRYSLER 200 2013 TOURING STALLED ON ME WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN I WAS STUCK IN A INTERSECTION FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AND HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND ME SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME MY CAR HAS STALLED ON ME AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 MONTHS, STALLED TWICE ON BUSY INTERSECTIONS I COULD HAVE DIED. IT STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND THE LANES WERE SO TIGHT I ALMOST COULDN'T GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND WHEN I FINALLY DID THE LANES WERE SO CLOSE THAT I COULDN'T PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY WITHOUT BEING TERRIFIED SOMEONE GOING TO COME DOWN THE HILL AND NOT SEE ME AND HIT ME. ALSO I WAS JUST DOING A BEACH CRUISE ONE TIME AND IT STALLED ON ME I HAD TO PARK AND WAIT LIKE A HOUR AND 30 MINUTES FOR HELP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DOING A RIGHT TURN ONTO MY HOUSE AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF SO I HAD TO MAKE A WIDE RIGHT TURN WITH BARELY ANY STEERING POWER COULD'VE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE CAR JUST LOSES IT POWER AND SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE GOTTEN A DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING SHOWED WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT GETTING FIXED AT ALL. I'M SEEING PEOPLE REPLACE FUEL PUMPS, STARTERS, BATTERIES, ALTERNATORS AND NO FIX FOR THE STALLING JUST WASTING MONEY. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE ON SITES ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS CAR. PEOPLE CARS ARE STALLING ON THEM AND ARE ALMOST GETTING THEM KILLED. CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE, NO RECALLS ON THE CAR AND PEOPLE ARE TAKING THEIR CARS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WASTING MONEY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP. REALLY SAD THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE WITH THESE CARS MY LIFE IS IN DANGER AND I'M ONLY 19 YEARS. THE CHRYSLER 200 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED VERY DANGEROUS CAR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP ODDLY FAST AND THEN I WOULD GET TO ALERTS SIMULTANEOUSLY 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT' AND 'SERVICE ELEC. THROTTLE CONTROL' I TURN OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO DOWN. I'M NOT SURE HOW CONCERNED I SHOULD BE OR IF THIS IS A COMMON ERROR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS AROUND 35,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH SLOW ACCELERATION AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. IF I AM APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND I START TO SLOW TO STOP, THE CAR WILL JERK TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE BRAKE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR JERKS TO THE POINT THAT IF I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD MOST LIKELY HIT THEM. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE RPM NEEDLE WAS PAST 4 AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD SOUND. I TRIED TO GO SLOWER BUT THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO AN INTERSTATE, THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SPEED UP. IT WILL BE STUCK AROUND 50-55 AND I REALLY HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO SPEED UP. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND ONCE WHILE PULLING IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RELATING THE A TRANSMISSION ERROR I GOT AS WELL AS A COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR AND MENTIONED THE ISSUES WITH THE JERKING AND STALLING BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE OR GET A CODE. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS A BIT ALARMING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO START GIVING ISSUES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES DRIVING FUNCTION MOMENTARILY AND THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MOVE THE CAR FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN HEAVILY TO GET THE CAR TO TRAVEL AT A LOW SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THIS NORMALLY LAST FOR A WHILE THEN STOPS. A CODE READER SAYS 'HIGH SPEED CAN COMMUNICATION BUS' I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OR BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. ALSO WHEN IT IS A HOT DAY THE VEHICLE UNLOCKS IT'S OWN DOORS, STARTS ITSELF, POPS THE TRUNK ON IT'S OWN WHEN I AM NOWHERE AROUND AND THE KEY FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE MY CAR OR MY BELONGINGS TO BE STOLEN.

I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AT LOW MILEAGE ONCE AT 58,600 MILES I'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT IN THIS SHORT FREQUENCY OF TIME. I'M HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 TO REPLACE A THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS ALREADY REPLACE BY CHRYSLER. AN INVESTIGATION INTO FAULTY CHRYSLER PARTS NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND A RECALL ISSUED.
