ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WIPERS HAVE STARTED TO NOT EXACTLY STOP WORKING BUT THAT STOP THEN START UP AGAIN WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN THEM ON AS IF THEY ARE GLITCHING. THEN MY HORN STOPPED WORKING SO I WENT TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED. THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE WAS NOT WORKING APPARENTLY, A $1300 FIX. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A PAIN. HAVE REPLACED PART AFTER PART. HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS AND TRULY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO IT BEING SUCH A DUMB THING. EVEN THE MECHANIC WAS LIKE THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE FIX FOR A HORN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
A FOLLOW UP TO ADD ON TO MY INITIAL COMPLAINT. I HAVE A SCREENSHOT SHOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS ISSUE CAN BECOME IF NOT RESOLVED. MY WIPERS AND HORN ARE A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THEY AREN'T WORKING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. PLEASE ADVISE BEFORE ANOTHER CHRYSLER OWNER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND COULD POSSIBLE HARM THEMSELVES IN A CRASH OR OTHERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT WHICH TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO KICK IN. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK. I WILL LET IT RUN FOR A MINUTE AND THEN DRIVE OFF BUT IT WILL STILL STALL ONCE I PULL UP TO THE STOP SIGN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I AM AFRAID IT MAY STALL AND I MAY GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE FOR A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ON OUT THERE. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT THE NOTHING SHOWS ANYTHING WRONG.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AT RANDOM MY CARS DIES/STALLS. I COULD BE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE LOSE POWER SHAKES THEN DIES. I COULD BE DRIVING IN TOWN CRUISING DOWN MAIN STREET AT 25MPH AND MY CAR ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER SHAKE THEN DIE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING IN MOTION. I COULD BE DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY WITH SPEEDS AT 70 MPH AND MY CAR WILL JUST DIE, FOOT GOES ALL THE WAY IN PEDDLE WHEN DEAD. YOU COULD FEEL NO POWER IN THE CAR AND IT WILL ROLL OUT. ONCE THE CAR IS DEAD THE POWER STEERING IS OUT. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. I'VE BEEN BROKEN DOWN FOR HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR MINUTES. I'VE BEEN BROKEN DOWN IN ALL 3 SITUATIONS MULTIPLE TIMES AS STATED ABOVE. THE CAR SHOWS NO WARNING WHEN IT IS GOING TO DIE, NO ENGINE LIGHTS EITHER, HAPPENS AT RANDOM. VERY UNRELIABLE AND IT TRAGIC THAT I HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT PERFORM LIKE IT SHOULD, I'M PAYING FOR A BROKEN CAR. DEALERSHIP WANTS NO PART OF IT. I'VE GOT A RECALL LETTER, TOOK IT IN AND NOTHING WAS FIX. THEY SAY IT WAS THE PCM BUT LITTLE DID THEY KNOW IT WAS A BRAND NEW ON. ALREADY WAS UPDATED. I FEEL NOTHING WAS DONT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAD ABOUT 10 OTHER PEOPLE WITH RECALL LETTER. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP IF ANY CAN BE ASSISTED

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
MY CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL RECENTLY. IT IS USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR DECELERATING ALTHOUGH IT IS ALSO WHILE IN COMPLETE MOTION BUT COASTING. THERE IS NO WARNING SOUND, LIGHTS OR INDICATION. ONE MUST FIND A WAY TO GET OFF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE). THE CAR DOES NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY. THE ONLY LIGHT ON DURING THIS TIME IS THE BATTERY LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING AND THE 'START' BUTTON SHOWS THE CAR IS IN THE 'RUN' POSITION. POWER STEERING IS ALSO LOST DURING THIS TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

SERVICE BRAKES
INTERMITTENT TROUBLE BREAKING. SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GETS STIFF, SOMETIMES THE PEDAL CLICKS WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE, SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL IS GOING TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR OR BREAK OFF AND ALSO FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN (STEERING WHEEL AND AXLE CONNECTING THE FRONTT TIRES IS GOING TO BREAK! ALSO FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SINKING SOMETIMES AND THAT I CAN'T STOP AND WILL CRASH!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT HAS THROWN SOME SERV AWD CODE TO ME TWICE NOW WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE BUT THEN GOES OUT AND NO CODES ARE ABLE TO BE READ BUT THIS HAPPENS CONCURRENTLY WITH SUDDEN BRAKING ISSUES IT SEEMS LIKE! HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY BUT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND HAS VARIED IN CONDITIONS AS TO WHEN THE PROBLEM FLARED UP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR DELIVERED AND PURCHASED FROM MCCLUSKY CHEVROLET, [email protected], CINCINNATI, OH TO FARRAGUT, TN ON 02/25/2020 IN EXCELLENT DRIVEABILITY CONDITION. CAR PERFOMANCE WAS EXCELLENT, DRIVEN DAILY UNTIL 03/03/2020 AND ALWAYS RETURNED TO HOME GARAGE. WHEN STARTED THE MORNING OF 03/04/2020, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RACED TO 4000 RPM IN NEUTRAL. TAPPING THE BRAKE LOWERED THE IDLE TO 1200 RPM, NOT THE NORMAL 850 (APPROXIMATE). I BACKED THE OUT OF THE GARAGE UPHILL INTO THE STREET. WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE THE MOMENT OF STARTING ACCELERATION THE CAR GENTLY ACCELERATE ITSELF WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN 1/4 MILE. TAPPING THE BRAKE STOPPED THE ACCELERATION AND THE CAR THROTTLE RETURNED TO ABOUT 1200 RPM. AFTER BRAKING TO A STOP, I STARTED TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. WITH MULTIPLE BRAKES TAPS, I RETURNED THE CAR INTO THE DRIVE WAY. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE RPM AGAIN RACED TO 4000. TAPPING THE BRAKE RETURNED THE RPM TO 1200, SIMILAR TO A CRUISE CONTROL RETURN. IN ALL CASES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT TURNED ON AND CYCLING THE CRUISE BUTTON ON AND OFF HAD NO EFFECT. CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT BE INVOLVED. I DID AN ACCUTRON CODE READ AND NO CODES RETURNED. NO ATTEMPT TO TRY TO FIX OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. CAR NEEDS TO BE ANALYZED BY NHTSA, NOT JUST REPAIRED. IT IS HAZARDOUS. I USED TO TEACH PHYSICS AND HAVE PERFORMED MOST MAJOR CAR REPAIRS SINCE 1960. I WISH TO KEEP THIS CHRYSLER 200 S RETRACTABLE CONVERTIBLE. IT WILL STAY IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL ANALYZED BY NHTSA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FRIDAY MORNING ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET THAT NAVIGATES THROUGH DOWNTOWN WHERE I WORK AT. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35MPH. AS I WAS CONTINUING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR SHUT OFF MID DRIVE . I LOST CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AS WELL AS MY BREAKS. A CAR THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME DUE TO THE LACK OF WARNING FOR THE ABRUPT STOP . THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, GOING FROM 35 MPH TO 0 MPH , WITH NO CONTROL OF THE WHEEL OR BREAKS , I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LET THE CAR COAST AND WAVE MY HANDS OUT THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO SIGNAL CARS BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT HIT ME. MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHERE I BLOCKED BUSY TRAFFIC FOR OVER 45 MINUTES WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK I HAD TO CALL . THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP WHEN I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART IT AS THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH BLINKING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK , WHICH I COULDN'T BECAUSE THE GEARS LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T MOVE. AS A CONSUMER THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'S UNSAFE . I WAS 1 HOUR LATE TO WORK AND I TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR . I LOVED MY CHRYSLER AND I'M VERY SAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CHRYSLER 200, THINGS LIKE THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE SEEM VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY STALL OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT JUST SEEMED TO HAVE HAD A DEAD BATTERY. I GOT A JUMP IT WAS FINE. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIED SO I HAD TO STOP THE CAR TURN IT BACK ON AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON BUT IT DROVE FINE. THREE DAYS LATER, IT DIES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES IT HAD DIED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ELECTRONICALLY WERE ON 55MPH ROADS. THE TIME MY TRANSMISSION DIED IT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE SO I WASN'T GOING TOO FAST.

ENGINE
THE CAR STALLS WHEN IT SLOWS DOWN OR COMES TO A STOP (FOR EXAMPLE AT A RED LIGHT). SO FAR, IT STARTS UP WITH NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF IT STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND DESPITE ATTEMPTING A VARIETY OF FIXES, SO FAR NOTHING HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
