ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON DECEMBER 2015, I BOUGHT THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED FROM GILROY CHRYSLER DEALER. (MALFUNCTION #1) ON SUNDAY APRIL 17, 2015, @ APPROXIMATELY 9:45 I DROVE MY CHRYSLER LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME WHEN I MADE A RIGHT TURN & MY CAR TURNED OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT. (MALFUNCTION #2) THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD PROBLEMS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN GOING IN REVERSE LIKE METAL ON METAL CONTACT. (MALFUNCTION #3) WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT IS DELAYED AND CHANGES HARD. ON APRIL 23, 2015 MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE & TIRE ROTATION @ (STEVENS CREEK JEEP DODGE) 4100 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, CA 95129 AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS ADVISED. HE ADVISED THEY WERE BOOKED UP FOR 3 WEEKS IN ORDER TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UNDER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY. THE DEALER WOULD NOT GIVE A FOR A TEMPORARY VEHICLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER TWO CHILDREN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
YOUR AGENCY REPORTED HEADLAMPS ON MY MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE POOR TO MARGINAL IN TERMS OF VISION, AND IS SAFETY RELATED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AND HAD THE HEADLAMPS INSPECTED BY MY DEALER. DEALER, OBVIOUSLY, SAYS THEY OPERATED AS DESIGNED, BUT THE INDICATION BY NHTSA IS THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED POORLY, AND ARE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. MY 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA HEADLAMP DEPTH OF FIELD IS 30' GREATER.

I WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE STREET, WHEN I FELT LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR ETC, MIL, AND ETC INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. TRANSMISSION GOES INTO STALL MODE, DOES NOT GO OVER 30 MPH, SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING EXCESSIVELY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 10 MONTHS.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE FIRST DAY I LEASED THE VEHICLE (3/27/2015). THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH UP AND DOWN. IT WILL ALSO JUMP GEARS ON THE DOWNSHIFT AND PROPEL THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE. THE ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT AND IT HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES JUST LAST WEEK.
