ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE LOT LOCATED IN MODESTO, CA I DROVE TO MY HOME ADDRESS WHICH IS LOCATED IN ANTIOCH, CA. ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY WILL FIX IT AND TO DROP IT BACK OFF. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS AND DID NOT FIX A THING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF ANY POWER AND GAS CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING ON ROADWAY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE AND THE VEHICLES IS SHUTDOWN BY THE PCM. TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING, POWER, AND CONTROL. THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DISPLAYS A MESSAGE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO START. IT WILL NOT CRANK OR TURNOVER UNLESS YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RESET IT. THE "SAFETY FEATURE" OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE IS TO KILL THE ENGINE COMPLETELY WITHOUT REGARD TO IT'S CURRENT STATUS OF TRAVEL AND MOVEMENT. OUR DEALER, EARNHARDT DODGE IN GILBERT AZ, HAS NO IDEA WHY THIS IS OCCURRING AND WANTS TO CHARGE $600 TO ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE WHY THE FUEL PUMP REFUSES TO ENGAGE WHILE THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE REMAINING. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST YEARS OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES ACROSS THE WEB OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 200 HAPPENING AROUND 45K TO 60K MILES. OURS HAS 60K MILES. SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO OCCUR A FEW YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, DEALER MECHANICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS OR HOW TO REPAIR IT SINCE THEY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT THUS FAR. IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO SHUT DOWN THE FUEL PUMP WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND SHUT DOWN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS RESULTING IN A "DEAD STICK" VEHICLE WITH NO WAY TO STEER OR BRAKE SAFELY. PLUS, ONCE YOU DO MANAGE TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED, NO "EXPERTS" ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ORIGINATING ISSUE IS WITHOUT REPLACING TOTAL STEERING SYSTEMS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. FROM A CONSUMER STANDPOINT THIS WILL SURELY BECOME AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR DRIVERS IN THE CHRYSLER 200 AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAYS. I PRAY SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE THOROUGHLY AND CAN ASSIST THE PUBLIC AND OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES IN SECURING A RESOLUTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SO I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUNCH IN A NUMBER AT THE CAR WASH AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE DID SOMETHING BUT MY CAR STARTED ROLLING WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO LIKE LITERALLY PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD AND I WOULD TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR AND IT WOULD JUST ROLL WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC THE SERVICE CHRYSLER CENTER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY SAY IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER I WENT AND GOT A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE THE BRAKE BOOSTER RARELY EVER SOMETHING THAT NEEDS REPLACED ESPECIALLY ON A 2016 VEHICLE AND IF IT DOES IT'S ONLY ON VEHICLES THAT ARE OVER 150,000 MILES OR AN OLDER VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE VACUUM LINE TO BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED BC OIL IS LEAKING INTO BOOSTER AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD'VE DID THAT BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME AND THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND IT'S GOING TO COST $717 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD ESPECIALLY DURING THIS PANDEMIC BECAUSE I'M NOT AN ESSENTIAL WORKER AND I DO NOT RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT AND THERE'S ONLY 29,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I NEED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS DUE TO JERKINESS IN CAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF AT LIGHTS, OR ANY DRIVING SITUATION WHERE I MAY BE AT STANDSTILL WAITING TO PROCEED. EX: TRAFFIC CLEARING OR WAITING FOR PARKING SPACE. AT TIMES IT TAKE 3-4 TRIES BEFORE IT RESTARTS AND THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. LASTLY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS INSIDE CAR ARE UNSTABLE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF, THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION FOR PHONE ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE. OVERALL I AM DISAPPOINTED AND WISH I WAS IN POSITION TO TRADE IT IN. PLEASE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO NOTE ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING AS WELL.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2019 AROUND 25000 MILES. IN OCTOBER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON . I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND JEEP WHO CHARGED OVER $3300 TO FIX . THEY SAID THEY TALKED TO CHRYSLER WHO WOULD COVER $3000 AND I HAD TO PAY THE $300. I DID THAT AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT POPS UP EVER COUPLE MINUTES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING 15 MPH OR 60 MPH.
