VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. DRIVING VEHICLE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. 1ST TIME - JULY 2015, THIS HAPPENED COMING INTO A ROUNDABOUT - LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND. DEALER REPLACED TIPM. SAME THING HAPPENED LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER (APRIL 2016). IN A PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. DEALER REPLACED TIPM AGAIN STATING PART FAILURE - UNDER WARRANTY SINCE WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT. NOW LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER ON 12/26/17 VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY! WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF 4 AND ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TO DEALER THAT PURCHASED FROM (HAPPENED CLOSER TO THAT DEALER THAN THE ONE THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD FIXED). EXPLAINED SITUATION, THAT PART WAS REPLACED BEFORE SAME THING HAPPENING. THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG, COULDNT FIND ANYTHING AND SENT ME ON MY WAY - DROVE BACK ROADS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE. NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER AND SAME THING HAPPENED. SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE EVERY TIME. TOOK TO DEALER THAT HAD FIXED IN THE PAST. TIPM FAILURE AGAIN! THIS IS 3 TIMES THAT THE PART HAS FAILED. COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AGAIN - THEY SAID PART WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FROM 1 TO 2 YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DEFINATELY A SAFETY HAZARD!! I GOT THE CAR FIXED AND TRADED IT IN THE DAY I GOT IT BACK! 3RD FAILURE WAS AT 113K MILES. CAR PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2012.

THERE ISN'T ANY HEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE . THE DEALER SAID THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ALSO THE THERMOSTAT' S . THE SAID THAT CHRYSLER PUTS IN A CHEMICAL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO FILL IN ANY PIN HOLES AND NOW A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER IT BECOMES SLUDGE AND CLOGS UP THE HEATER CORE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND NOW I HAVE A $2900 BILL THAT I HAVE TO PAY. IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR CHRYSLER TO DO THAT TO THE PUBLIC AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

TAKATA RECALL I AM SURE YOU HAVE PROBABLY RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE & SEEN THE LONG LIST OF OTHER FRUSTRATED OWNERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE HEATING CORE IN THESE CHRYSLER 200 ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK...IT BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. TEMPERATURES ARE NOW BELOW FREEZING. I DO NOT SEE FAIRNESS THAT ANY OWNERS HAVE TO SPEND A GRAND OR MORE REPLACING SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS MALFUNCTIONING IN MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES & MANY COMPLAINTS (INCLUDING MINE) HAVE BEEN SENT TO CHRYSLER. THIS HAS BEEN ON AN ISSUE NOW SINCE THE SEASON CHANGED & IT IS COLD. I DO NOT HAVE A GRAND TO SPEND NOR DO I HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE .

VISIBILITY/WIPER
BOTH THE DASH AND PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROSTERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS NOT JUST A COMFORT ISSUE. THE RESTRICTED VISIBILITY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE COST TO FIX IS RIDICULOUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER.
