ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, LOCKING EVERYTHING UP. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. PRESS THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON, PLACE MY FOOT IN THE BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON,THE ENGINE WHINES, TRIES TO START, WINDS AGAIN THEN CHUGS A FEW TIMES. AFTER DOING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START. JUST TO DO IT AGAIN. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD MY CAR WAS "ALMOST OUT OF OIL" AFTER WHICH THEY HAD DONE THE LAST OIL CHANGE CLAIMING TO HAVE USED SYNTHETIC OIL. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, HOW DOES A 2016 CAR BURN 4-5 QUARTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL AND THEM NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHY. I SEE THE RECALL FOR 2015 200'S MATCHING EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY 2016.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BOUGHT CARE USED FROM THE DEALER 9 MONTHS AGO AND AT APPROX. 52,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR DECELERATED TO 30MPH AND LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. LUCKILY I COULD PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND WHEN I STOPPED THE ENGINE SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY THEN CUT OFF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR OVER A DOZEN TIMES TO GET IT HOME. FINALLY GOT IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY HAVE REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND COMPUTER. STILL AT THE SHOP AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE BILL IS ALMOST $600 AND I DON'T HAVE A WORKING CAR . AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAPPENS TO THIS CAR. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE CARS AND REFUND ALL MONEY SO WE CAN BUY A CAR THAT RUNS AND WILL NOT POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR ACCUMULATES DEBRIS BELOW THE WINDSHIELD UNDER THE PLASTIC TRAY WHICH CLOGS UP A DRAIN TUBE WHICH THEN MAKES THE WATER FLOOD BACK THROUGH THE HEATER CORE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR . WETTING THE FLOOR SOAKING THE CARPET AND CAUSING RUST AND BLACK MOLD. I HAD IT FIXED ONCE, BUT AFTER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHRYSLER CARS THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ALL THEIR VEHICLES FOR YRS NOW. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THIS DESIGN FLAW FIXED. EITHER THEY NEED TO HAVE FREE MAINTENANCE OF THIS OR THEY NEED TO HAVE A SEPARATE TUBE FOR RAIN DRAINAGE AND A DIFFERENT TUBE FOR AC HEAT DRAINAGE.. IT HAS CAUSE DEPRECIATION OF MY OVER ALL RESALE VALUE OF THIS CAR PLUS CAUSED CARPET PADDING DAMAGE RUST AND POSSIBLY MOLD IN MY CAR.. CHRYSLER KEEPS LAYING BACK ON THE OWNERS SAYING MAINTENANCE PROBLEM .. AND CHARGING OVER 500 TO FIX IT. IT'S NOT LIKE AN OWNER CAN EASILY CLEAN THIS AREA IT INVOLVES TAKE APART THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ETC
