ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, CAR TURNED OFF AND BRAKES LOCKED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD OF GOTTEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT. WHEN MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CHECK AND IT SAYS NO RECALLS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLIANT, THOUGH I SHOULD'VE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2016. MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND THE ENGINE WOULD STALL, NO BATTERY ISSUE. ALL OF A SUDDEN A MONTH LATER IT STARTED. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE SAID THE ENGINE LIGHT SAID A CATALYTIC CONVERTER...BUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DOES NOT NEED REPLACED. I HAVE HAVE MY SERPENTINE BELT REPLACED 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE SHIFTING ROUGHLY. IN THE MONTH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND WHY MY RPM WAS GOING UP WHEN PARKED AND THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. THEY TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T USE THE DIFFERENT FUEL (WHICH I ONLY DID TWICE) THAT IT WOULD STOP. I WAS STUCK WITH THE CAR, AND STILL AM. MY 'GAS CAP' LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS. I HAD MY FUEL SYSTEM CHECKED AND A VALVE WAS REPLACED, SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. MY ENGINE NOW SOUNDS WORSE THAN EVER WITH KNOCKING, WHIRRING AND SHAKES ALMOST ALWAYS. I'M TOLD THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND/OR THE ENGINE TENSIONER BUT NO ONE CAN TRULY PINPOINT THE ISSUE....IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. PLEASE RECALL THIS LEMON. I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE POSSIBLE TO NEVER BUY THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. THIS PURCHASE WAS THE WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND HAVEN'T WENT OFF YET AND I HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2020. ALSO WHEN IT RAINS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND I USE MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS THEY WILL NOT GO OFF I HAVE TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT FOR THEM TO STOP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I'VE SPOKE WITH THE PLACE I GOT THE CAR FROM AND THEY STARTED THAT THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE ISSUES THAT THE CAR PREVIOUSLY HAD BEFORE I PURCHASED IT WITHIN THE 30 DAYS I PURCHASE THE CAR AS WELL.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
ON 6/16/2018, I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT WHEN TRAVELING SOUTH AND A DEER RAN OUT ACROSS FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CRASHING RIGHT INTO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF MY VEHICLE THEN FLEW UP IN THE AND CRASHED DOWN RIGHT THREW MY WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 50 MPH. I WAS SEVERELY INJURED SINCE MY SEATBELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN ME AND NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOLLOWING DEER COLLISION THE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AND I SUFFERED SECONDARY INJURY. I NEED SOME ANSWERS ON WHY I WANTED NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL BEFORE NOW. I JUST RECEIVED THE LETTER REGARDING RECALL ON THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS TWO YEARS LATER! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE PLENTY OF PHOTOS HOWEVER NEED TO UPLOAD, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN THE MORNING I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP AND THEN DIED. WOULDN'T START WITH START BUTTON. AFTER PLACING THE REMOTE NEXT TO START BUTTON AND WAITING A BIT I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AFTER A FEW TRIES. FINISHED PARKING. AFTER WORK, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS WAITING TO TURN AND DO UTURN AND THE CAR ONCE MORE DIED. NOT SURE IF I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED OR INCHING FORWARD WHILE WAITING FOR INCOMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. TRIED STARTING IT UP AGAIN THE SAME WAYS AS IN MORNING. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. AFTER STANDING 5 MINUTES IN A TURNING LANE, I GOT IT TO START. FINISHED THE DRIVE HOME WORRYING. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, TIME FROM TIME, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD FLICKER AND THEN GO COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY COME BACK ON. THAT IS SPEED, RPM, GAS LEVEL, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, AND ALL OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS. CAUSES DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO RESULTS IN ME BEING UNABLE TO SEE SPEED THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE BRAKING, AND TURNS EVERYTHING OFF. IT ALSO 'LOCKS' THE BRAKE, AND TAKES MINUTES TO RELEASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF, PUSH TO START WON'T WORK, AND ENGINE WILL NOT START. THE CAR CUTS OFF AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, AND MAKES DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF MORE FREQUENTLY, AND FOR LONGER MOMENTS AT A TIME. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ON STREET'S BUT HAS OCCURRED IN TWO DRIVE-THRUS. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR SHUT OFF MID-TURN. AGAIN THIS MAKES DRIVING INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND IS FRUSTRATING AND INCONVENIENT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION SO DRIVING HAS BECOME A RISK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. THERE ARE NO INDICATORS THAT THERES ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT JUST TAKES ABOUT SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET A CRANK IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO COME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT TO SEE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS. NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY OR STARTER. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED WITH AN OIL CHANGE AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THEN FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS UPON MY INITIAL START FOR THE DAY MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE RESIDENTIAL ROAD LESS THEN A MILE IN IT STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE LOCKS THE CAR UP SO IM UNABLE TO STIR THE CAR AND TELLS ME TO PART THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER THAT IM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THEN IT'LL FINALLY CRANK BACK UP AFTER PUTTING THE KEY FLOB NEXT TO THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS THANK GOD I WASNT ON THE HIGHWAY NOR WHERE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON MY CAR AND ITS NOT INDICATING ANY FOR MINE IN PARTICULAR BUT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2015 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS. MY CAR ISNT UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS OVER 100 THOUSAND MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE REPLACED A FUEL INJECTOR ON THE 2ND CYLINDER LAST FEBRUARY IN OUR CHRYSLER 2015 200S. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. HERE IT IS 11 MONTHS LATER WE ARE REPLACING THE FUEL INJECTOR ON THE 6TH CYLINDER. I TALK WITH SOMEONE AT FCA AND HE GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND, REFERRING ME TO WARRANTIES AND NOT REALLY TRYING TO HELP AND OF COURSE DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS IN THAT PARTICULAR CAR. I KNOW THERE CAN BE ISSUES WITH INJECTORS IF YOU DO NOT SERVICE THEM, WHICH WE GOT THE SERVICE, BUT SHORTING OUT; THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS; SHORTING OUT ESPECIALLY. ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF AFTER STARTING & DRIVING A VERY SHORT DISTANCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE/FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT WOULD COME ON. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND IT MIGHT RUN FINE AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY & DROVE A GOOD DISTANCE WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP AND START A LOT. THE ISSUE WOULD ARISE MORE WHEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES WITH CONSTANT STOPS & TIGHT TURNS OR SOMETIMES WHEN HAVING TO DE-ACCELERATE QUICKLY. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF FOR A SECOND THEN RESTARTED, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON WOULD BE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN O'REILLYS FOR A FREE TEST & THE ONLY CODES THAT CAME BACK WAS P0302 - CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & P2172 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. THE ISSUE HAD GOTTEN WORSE SO I HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS WITH NGK IRIDIUM PLUGS AND THE 2ND CYLINDER IGNITION COIL WITH A BOSCH IGNITION COIL. THE CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE CODE WENT AWAY WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT THE MAIN ISSUE PERSISTS, THE CAR WON'T STAY ON & THE P2172 TACS CODE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE & UNABLE TO DRIVE. THE DATE I'M USING FOR THE QUESTION OF WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED IS WHEN I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL ISSUE STARTED AROUND THE 2ND WEEK OF DECEMBER SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DECEMBER 10TH-DECEMBER 14TH.
