AIR BAGS, ENGINE, SEATS
AIR BAGS LIGHTS COMES ON INDICATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS ONLY CAME ON AFTER I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THERE'S A RED WARNING LIGHT THAT THAT AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIONAL ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AT JEFF WYLER EAST GATE IN BATAVIA OHIO 45102 513-7523447. I ALSO HAD TO PUT THE SAME 200 S IN THE SHOP FOR A MASSIVE OIL LEAK THAT ONCE I NOTICED IT AND THEN HAD IT CHECKED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISOR THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE 3.6 L ENGINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE THAT THERE WAS A TSB OR SOMETHING ON IT SO I DROPPED IT OF AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION TO FIND OUT MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER CRACKED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $200 LIFETIME WARRANTY I HAD ON THE CAR. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS THERE'S A ENGINE LIGHT ON THAT INDICATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH I HAD MENTIONED TO THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR THE SWEET BUNGENT ODOR THAT I SMELLED COMING OUT OF MY VENTS AT 5 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY BY 50 MILES ON MY ODOMETER AND NOW AT 66700 IT'S BACK AND WAS NOTICE BY THE DISCOUNT TIRE SHOP TELL ME THEY SMELLED A STRONG COOLENT LEAK AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO FIND IF THERE WAS A ISSUE THAT THAT HAD ALREADY TOLD ME WAS THERE AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 5 MILES AND WOULD GO AWAY AT 50 ! TO BE HONEST I JUST BELIEVE I GOT USE TO IT!!!

ENGINE
VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY STALLS "SHUTS OFF" WHILE DRIVING THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEN THE CAR STARTS UP AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC STATES THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT HAPPENS AT THE SHOP... THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SEEING THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING IT'S TURNING OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED WITH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION.... WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT MY RECEIPT FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT, HOWEVER IT HAS STARTED AGAIN

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DECELERATING AT EITHER A RED LIGHT OR TO TURN, CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNINGS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THIS STARTED ALMOST A MONTH AGO. THEN TODAY EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. ALL ELECTRICAL LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOWED.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW WEEKS. IT HAPPENED. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP BUT, ALL THEY TOLD ME TO DO WAS TRACK MY OIL CHANGES BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

UNDER THE ENGINE AND YOU MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL IN THE CAR RUNNING WITHOUT OIL GETTING BAD GAS MILEAGE MY CAR IS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 S V6 3.6

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WENT IN FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TWICE RIGHT BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTH TIMES. JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 75K MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ADVISED THE WHOLE WIRING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED. GOT IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO STATED THEY ARE WILLING TO ONLY PAY FOR THE $1200+ PART BUT THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400 IN LABOR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON. TYPICALLY WHEN ENCOUNTERING A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE. SAFFORD JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN WINCHESTER VA IS THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CONTINUED SERVICE AT THE SAME LOCATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND CURRENTLY THERE AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. IF THIS CAN BE SETTLED IN ANY MANNER, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER PROVIDE A REFUND FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND RUNNING.

AIR BAGS
FOR ABOUT 30K MILES NOW MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN CHARGE MUCH, MUCH MORE TO "FIX" THE AIRBAGS. WHY ARE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED NOT ALWAYS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A THIRD PARTY TECH THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND CHRYSLER SEEMS TO THINK OUR SAFETY IS NOT WORTH COVERING THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL ALTHOUGH WE PERFORM ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I AM ASKING YOU TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. YOU INVESTIGATED THE 2015 MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED AS A RESULT. THE 2016 IS JUST AS DANGEROUS. IS THERE A REASON WHY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO DRIVE 2015 MODELS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE OR MY CHILDREN? IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS! THE STEERING CUTS OFF TOO. I HAVE TO FIRST STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING, SHIFT INTO PARK, PUSH START, AND WAIT, WHILE I BRACE MYSELF FOR THE IMPACT THAT IS ABOUT TO SHATTER MY SPINE OR KILL MY CHILDREN! IT BEGAN AS SOON AS I HIT 60K MILES A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TURNING, SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TURN OFF, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT IS SUDDENLY IN NEUTRAL AND MAKES REVVING SOUNDS WHEN I HIT GAS BUT WONT GO, THAT'S WHEN MESSAGE SAYS 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION'. I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND ALMOST HIT A POLE! IT MAY START UP WITH FIRST TRY, OR A FEW TRIES. IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY BUT THAT MAY BE BECAUSE I AM TOO AFRAID TO GO THAT ROUTE ANYMORE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I PAID CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A PENNY TO FIX THIS, BUT IF I OR MINE ARE INJURED I WILL SPEND EVERY CENT I HAVE ON A LAWSUIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MATTER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
IVE HAD A CHRYSLER BEFORE. I SUSPECTED THE NEWER MODEL TO BE IMPROVED... UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME ITS JERKING LIKE THE OLDER MODEL AFTER HAVING TUNE UPS DONE TWICE. ALSO ITS GOING DEAD WHEN I TURN LEFT AND GIVING ME A MESSAGE (PERFORMANCE SHIFT DISABLED) TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE BAD PART IS IM ALWAYS ENTERING AN BUSY INTERSTATE. ITS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR TWO WEEKS. THE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE IS WAY TO FAMILIAR TO ME. MY LAST CHRYSLER ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORST AND WORST AS WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2019. VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE CAR IS AT COLLEGE, OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN HER AREA WILL NOT FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE BECAUSE THE VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I'M AT A LOSS SINCE THE COST OF REPAIR IS HIGH. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SHE IS GOING TO SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIPS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY BE HURT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM-FREE? THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CAR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON OR ABOUT THE DATE LISTED BELOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 200 VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIR BAG LIGHT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, ABOUT MAY, 2016. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED SO I IGNORED IT. THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AFTER MAY, 2016 DATE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE LIGHT. IT REMAINS ON TO THIS DATE. REPAIR ON TIRE THAT SHOWED A LIGHT WAS REFUSED ON JUNE 7, 2017. THIS TIRE LIGHT REMAINS A PROBLEM. NOW, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT STALLING AND WILL NOT RUN WHEN IT RAINS. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE BLOCKED BECAUSE I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS TO GO UPHILL AFTER IT STALLS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. NOW, I WARM THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES TO SHOW THE ENGINE IS READY. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FAILED EMISSION TESTING IN SEPT. 2019. THE TUNE UP DONE THIS MONTH DID NOT HELP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MATTERS CAUSED THE EMISSION TESTING TO FAIL. MY COMPLAINT IS DIRECTED TO THE GAS PROBLEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR ALONG WITH THE TIRE LIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW MORNINGS. IT HAPPENED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT EACH MORNING. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TAKING INTO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AFTER READING OTHER STORIES VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, I'M NOT VERY HOPEFUL.
