ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON APPROXIMATELY 7/14/15, UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CHRYSLER 200 HESITATED ON TAKE OFF. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWLY TRY ACCELERATING AGAIN, STILL WITH HESITATION, BUT FINALLY TAKING OFF. THERE WAS SLIGHT HESITATION AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING, THEN THE FUEL SEEMED TO CATCH UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY SINCE 7/14/15. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/23/15 AS IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THAT "NO CODES" SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO EFFECT THE ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM AND SPEED CONTROL. I WAS VERY CONCERNED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED UNTIL THIS PROBLEMS IS RESOLVED. I INTEND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM.

I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHIFTED THROUGH PARK, NEUTRAL AND MANUAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO FREE UP THE TRANSMISSION BUT WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT STILL WOULD NOT TRANSITION OUT OF FIRST (1ST) GEAR EVEN WHEN PUT IN THE MANUAL SHIFT MODE. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS NOT SHIFTING BUT STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A CODE INDICATING ANY PROBLEM. THEY RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR UPDATED 10/01/15*LJ UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I AM WRITING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF A DEAL WITH MY 2013 CHYSLER 200 BOUGHT IN 8/2013. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT TO DO A TRADE IN FOR A 2015 AND WAS TOLD BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER IN AVONDALE, AZ THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A CERTAIN SERIAL NUMBER AND SO IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH CHRYSLER DUE TO A DROP IN BLUE BOOK VALUE SOON AFTER I PAID FULL PURCHASE PRICE AT THAT TIME OF $19,000. WITH ALL GAP INSURANCE ETC. I PAID $27,000 FOR THIS CAR. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CAR HAS THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF AND DROPPED THE VALUE DOWN SO LOW IT IS NOT EVEN TRADEABLE OR BUY BACK VALUE IS SO LOW EVEN CHRYSLER WONT TAKE IT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SITUATION. I AM A FORD CAR PERSON AND I HAVE GIVEN CHRYSLER A CHANCE FOR THE LAST 8 EIGHT YEARS AND WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER UP UNTIL THIS POINT WHERE I AM STUCK WITH A 2013 CAR THAT IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH THE VERY COMPANY THAT MADE IT. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MONEY NOR DOES THE BANK WHO LOANED ME THE MONEY FOR IT, WANT TO LOSE ON THE TRANSACTION OF THIS CAR. I WILL GO BACK TO BUYING FORDS ASAP IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I WANT THE MONEY PAID BACK FOR THIS 2013 CAR AND SENT TO THE BANK FOR PAYMENT. CHRYSLER CAN SEND ME A LETTER OF WHERE TO RETURN THIS CAR. THAT IS ONLY FAIR, SINCE IT IS NOT TRADEABLE AT ANY TIME WITH CHRYSLER. I WILL GO TO THE MEDIA HERE IN AZ IMMEDIATELY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND EXPECT A PHONE CALL FROM THE MEDIA. YOU MAY GIVE THIS E-MAIL TO THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CHRYSLER PRESIDENT HIMSELF HOW CHRYSLER CAN DO THIS TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. THIS IS CONSIDER A LEMON CAR AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT SELLING LEMONS IN THE WHOLE YEAR OF 2013.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER 14000 MILES FRONT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO OWN A 2011 CHRYSLER 200, ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AT 19000 MILES. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS USING POOR MATERIAL FOR THERE FRONT BRAKES. SINCE I REPLACED THE 2011 BRAKES, WITH AUTO ZONE PARTS, I HAVE GONE OVER 40,000 MILES MORE AND BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
FROM ALMOST THE BEGINNING OF OWNING THIS CAR IT HAS MADE A NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE, LIKE IT COULD COME APART. I HAD BRAKE ISSUES ALSO. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE BRAKE NOISE, BUT NOT THE NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DETECT. YET, MY CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS NOISE. NOW, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A NOISE IF EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. CHECKED ON YOUTUBE AND MANY PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200'S, 2013'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEIR MECHANICS EITHER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OR IT'S 1. STEERING COLUMN 2. OUTER TIE ROD END OR SWAY BAR END LINKS 3. BALL JOINTS 4. BUSHINGS CAN BE WORN ON CONTROL ARMS OF SWAY BAR OR 4. TIE ROD. MY DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY OF THAT WRONG WITH MY CAR, YET, I BELIEVE IT IS ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED AT MOORE, CHRYSLER, JEEP, SUBARU, AT 8700 W. BELL, ROAD IN GLENDALE, ARIZONA. I AM A SINGLE LADY, LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. MY DAD BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR ME. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS FIXED IF THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT, AND THE DEALER LETS IT. I NEED THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX MY CAR. *TR
