ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
THE TIRE SENSOR (TPMS LIGHT) FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR TIRE ALWAYS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AS WELL. IT WILL SAY THE TIRE IS LOW, AND IT'S ALWAYS ONLY THIS TIRE. I CHECK THE PRESSURE WITH A HAND GAUGE AND ALL IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MULITIPULE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IN THE 19 MONTHS I HAVE HAD IT!

AIR BAGS
WHEN WE WERE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT, WE WERE GOING INTERSTATE SPEED IN NEBRASKA AT 80 MPH, WE HIT A LARGE ROAD SIGN THAT TOTALED OUR VEHICLE. OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS. ALSO MY CAR IS AT PERFORMANCE AUTO BODY SHOP IN LINCOLN NEBRASKA AND THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT DEPLOYED WHEN THE AUTO BODY SHOP RECEIVED THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN A SHORT TIME LATER MY ABS LIGHT COME ONE. MY CAR LOST POWER AND EVEN THOUGH YOU PRESS GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE DECELERATES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO SUPER LOW GEAR BUT NOT SENDING ANY POWER TO TRANSMISSION WHICH ACTS LIKE IT IS TOTALLY SLIPPING (IT IS ELECTRONIC TOO)! I ALMOST GOT HIT 4 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. I SHUT IT DOWN. IT THEN RE-STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES AND RAN FINE FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CYCLE AGAIN BUT LUCKILY I WAS ON THE BACK STREETS AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE CONSTANT SQUEALING OF THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNING ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BRAKES ARE SO LOUD AND NOISY THAT PEOPLE CAN HEAR MY CAR COMING FROM FAR OFF, THEY SOUND LIKE I OWN AN OLD BEAT-UP VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND SHOULD NOT BE SO EMBARRASSINGLY LOUD EACH TIME I HIT THE BRAKES WHETHER IT'S AT A SLOW CREEP OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING. AT FIRST THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD COME ON AT THE TOP OF ANY HILL OR INCLINE, LIKE AT THE TOP OF A RAMP TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. NOW, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WILL TRY TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE ITSELF, OR THAT MY CAR WILL LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING FAST DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN ENGAGED MANUALLY BY ME EXCEPT WHEN I PARK AT LOCATIONS WHERE I USE THE E-BRAKE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY IF I HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, I BEG TO DIFFER. THE TIRE SENSOR FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR TIRE ALWAYS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AS WELL. IT WILL SAY THE TIRE IS LOW ABOUT ONCE A MONTH, AND IT'S ALWAYS ONLY THIS TIRE. I CHECK THE PRESSURE WITH A HAND GAUGE AND ALL IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE JUST HORRID!! I WOULD LOVE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY WITH IT BEING SO NEW I AM FAR FROM BEING ABLE TO DO SO. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT CHRYSLER!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH 2014 WITH ONLY A FEW MILES ON IT. I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MANY TIMES AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY GAS CAP. WELL AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF THIS I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND ALTHOUGH I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR CONTINUED TO DECLINE IN SPEED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL LAST A FEW MIN TO A FEW DAYS. I WAS TOLD WELL THAT?S ODD YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS OR ANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR CAR. I EVEN ASKED THEM ABOUT A REPLACEMENT PART THAT I CAME ACROSS THAT WAS DONE TO MY ARE RIGHT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NO RECORD. SURE IS FUNNY THEY DID THE REPLACEMENT ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE HAD MY CAR OVER YEAR AND I CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS ON THIS ISSUE. IT?S SUPER DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING OVER 50 MPG. .....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

THE BRAKES MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AS IF THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR BUT THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THE SAME THING: ALL OF CHRYSLER'S 200 HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THIS IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW I'M COMING JUST BY THE NOISE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SEVERELY DAMAGED MY VEHICLE. THE FIRE STARTED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE NO ACCESSORIES WERE PLUGGED IN TO THE 12V POWER PORT. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT WERE BEING USED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WERE THE A/C AND THE RADIO. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A HOMEOWNER, BUT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. THE CAR IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FULL MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, BUT AT THIS POINT I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT PROVE THAT THE FIRE WASN'T STARTED BY A DEVICE PLUGGED INTO THE 12V POWER PORT.

STEERING, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 TO DROP MY FATHER BACK HOME. MY MOTHER AND SISTER WERE ALSO PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE.THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 10/29/2014 AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 5846 MILES & PASSED INSPECTION ON 10/30/2014. I ASSUMED POSSESSION OF THE CAR ON 10/30/2014 AFTER IT PASSED INSPECTION. THE CAR HAD 8059 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE MY PURCHASE. I WAS QUITE STARTLED WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY & STARTED TO DECELERATE IN SPEED. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAY WAS 70 MPH. ALTHOUGH I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DECREASE RAPIDLY. I REMEMBERED SEEING MY SPEED DROP AS LOW AS 19 MPH ON THE FREEWAY; A VERY SCARY THING. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKED UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BATTERY LIGHTS INDICATING ANYTHING WAS WRONG. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT & THERE WAS A REST STOP NEARBY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO AND INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY POWERED OFF AS THE CAR MADE IT TO THE PARKING SPOT & WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AFTER THAT. THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED, BUT NOTHING WAS VISIBLY WRONG WITH THE CAR TO CAUSE THE CAR TO MALFUNCTION THE WAY IT DID. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, MAYBE 45 MINUTES LATER FROM THE APPROXIMATE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED, MY DAD MENTIONED THAT HE WAS COLD, SO I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO TURN THE HEATER ON. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. MY SISTER AND I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE REST STOP PARKING LOT, AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESTART. IT RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. EVEN AFTER THE CAR RESTARTED, THERE WERE NOT ANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON A WELL CLEARED INTERSTATE IN LIGHT SNOW CONDITIONS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYS BACK AND FORTH LIKE THERE IS NO TRACTION WHILE THE FRONT END HAS TRACTION AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN TRACTION. ONCE STABILIZED AND ONLY DRIVING 20-25MPH WHEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE OR UNDER AND OVERPASS, THE LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE IN THOSE AREAS MAKES THE REAR OF THE CAR SLIDE SIDE TO SIDE. DRIVING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE HIGHWAY MAKES THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE JUMP TO THE RIGHT. DRIVING IS STABILIZED ON COMPLETELY DRY ROADS OR IN TOWN SNOWPACKED BUT TREATED ROADS. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATES IN EVEN THE MILDEST OF ANY TYPE OF ADVERSE WEATHER. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN OVER 25 MPH WITHOUT OUT THE REAR END SWAYING BACK AND FORTH. DURING THIS SITUATION ALL OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING AT OR NEAR POSTED HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
I DROVE AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, CHRYSLER 200 SEDAN. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 2-4 HOURS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, GOOD ROAD. WHEN I GOT OUT I HAD A SHOOTING PAIN FROM THE MIDDLE OF MY LEFT BUTTOCKS DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF MY LEFT LEG. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS SORT OF THING HAPPEN BEFORE. I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THE ONLY VARIABLE WAS SITTING IN THAT CAR SEAT. I AM A MID-FIFTIES WOMAN IN GOOD CONDITION. 5'7" TALL, 150 POUNDS. PRETTY AVERAGE. A CAR SEAT SHOULDN'T DO THIS TO A PERSON. THE CAR WAS AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, BUT I RENTED THE CAR FROM ALAMO RENTAL IN THE QUAD CITIES ILLINOIS AIRPORT. THEY HAD TO BORROW A SEDAN FROM ENTERPRISE. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON MY CONTRACT IS [XXX]. THE RENTAL RAN FROM OCT. 11-OCT. 13. THE CONTRACT SAYS THE VEHICLE HAD 1325 MILES ON IT WHEN I RENTED IT, AND 1864 WHEN I RETURNED IT. I DROVE IT ABOUT 4 HOURS EACH DAY OF THE RENTAL. IT WAS VERY PAINFUL AND STILL IS A DAY LATER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
