ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS CRUISING, ACCELERATING, OR DECELERATING. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, SOUNDS, OR VISUAL CUES TO INDICATE ANY SORT OF PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST WILL ALSO SHUT DOWN. AFTER THE STALL: IT DOESN'T TRIGGER ANY ERROR CODES FOR AN OBD-II READER, MEANING TECHNICIANS WONT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WILL DO THIS AT ALL SPEEDS, EVEN ON THE HIGH WAY, OR PLACES THAT MAY NOT HAVE A PLACE TO PULL OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING THAT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKS WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE. ALSO I NOTICED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T COME WITH RUBBER ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT WAS COMPLETELY METAL AND MY FOOT WAS SLIDING WHILE DRIVING SO I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO GET IT REPLACED BUT THEY SAID THAT IS WAS A COST SAVING ISSUE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT SINCE NONE OF THE CARS CAME WITH THIS SO I PURCHASED A STAINLESS STEEL PEDAL COVER KIT BUT I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ACCELERATOR ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT HARD ACCELERATOR AT HIGH SPEEDS WITHOUT THE GRIP OF THE RUBBER.

MY CAR QUITS ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2014. I ALWAYS KEPT MY CAR UP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

A LIGHT IS ON THAT IS CALLED SERV AWD. I LOOKED IT UP WHICH MEANS SERVICE THE AWD. I NOTICED IT BEFORE I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP JULY 2020 FOR MY YEARLY INSPECTION AND EMISSIONS STICKER AS REQUIRED BY MY STATE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT MENTION TO ME THAT THE SERV AWD WAS ON. I KNOW THAT MY AWD IS CURRENTLY DISABLED.

POWER TRAIN
SHIFTING IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C AWD IS HORRIBLE. THE ROUGH SHIFTING IS USUALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 3RD OR LATER GEARS. THE ROUGH SHIFTING HAS CAUSED ME TO THINK THAT I WAS REARED ENDED BUT ITS JUST THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ROUGH SHIFTING OCCURS, I MUST BE EXTRA CAREFUL BECAUSE MY CAR WILL JERK WHILE ON GOING OVER 50 MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AS NO LIGHT WAS ON. I HAVE OWED MY VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 3 YEARS NOW AND THIS WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM. IT WAS SHIFTING ROUGH WHEN I BROUGHT IT WITH 10K MILES ON IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWER VEHICLE AS IT WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. I AM CURRENTLY AROUND 57500 MILES NOW AND IT STILL OCCURS. I HAVE READ MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING ON THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH AN ALARM SOUNDING EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE CONNECTION ONLY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE WIRING AND AIRBAG JUMPERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3200 OR THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK.

ENGINE
I JUST HAD MY CAR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTED AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST 72HOURS, WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I AM ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON, HOWEVER FEAR FOR MY SAFETY NOW WHENEVER I DRIVE IT. THESE EXACT ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS, DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURE AND I BELIEVE THIS MODEL HAS BEEN SIMILARLY EFFECTED. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A ENGINE RECALL AS WELL, DUE TO THE IDENTICAL ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE IN MOTION THE PARKING BREAK CAN ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED AND IT'S PLACEMENT ON THE CAR ITSELF IS DANGEROUS AND JERKS THE CAR IF PRESSED WHILE MOVING THEREFOR COULD CAUSE EXTREME HARM. FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, ANY OR ALL PASSENGERS, OR DRIVERS NEARBY, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO A LOCATION THAT ISN'T NOT EASILY REACHABLE AND ALSO NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN REMOTELY ENGAGE WHILE MOVING. I ONLY OCCURRED WHIPLASH AND MY FAST THINKING AND LUCK OF HAVING THE ROOM TO SLOW DOWN, BUT OTHERWISE IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD NEVER ENGAGE U LESS THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED AND DEFINITELY NOT AT SPEEDS UP TO OR OVER THE SPEED LIMITS.
