VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I HAVE A CHRYSLER 200 2011 WITH 67,000 MILES. THIS WINTER THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL, LEAVING ME WITHOUT DEFROST AS WELL. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME WHETHER IN IDLE OR DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED TWICE, THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, FILTER REPLACED, ETC. THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW THAT THE NEXT STEP IS REPLACING THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. IS IT BECAUSE EVEN MOPAR TECHNICIANS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM? MY TECHNICIAN SAYS IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S CHASING A GHOST. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200C WITH A 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION, I HAVE REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND THE SELLING DEALER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WHEN DOWN SHIFTING FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR AND 5TH TO 4TH GEAR ACTUALLY STAYS ENGAGED AND CONTINUES TO PULL THE CAR ALONG TO THE POINT TAHE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN NO HELP HAS BEEN GIVEN TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE EXCEPT TO BE TO;D THAT A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP.I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT LEFT UN-REPAIRED IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT HOWEVER I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A DEALER REP THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS A PROBLEM EXISTS BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
PURCHASES CAR ON AUG 4, 2015 SINCE DAY I PURCHASED CAR IT HAS HAD A HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AT INITIAL START. YOU START CAR AND TURN DIAL TO DRIVE BUT IF U IMMEDIATELY TRY TO TAKE OFF THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV AS IF YOUR IN NEUTRAL IT TAKES ABOUT 15-30 SECONDS ONCE YOU TURN THE DIAL BEFORE CAR IS IN GEAR. AFTER ABOUT MAYBE 10,000 MILES I NOTICED CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JERK AS IF IT HAD BEEN STUCK IN A GEAR MAYBE THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AROUND 60+ MPH BRAKES HARD AND DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN HAD TO STAND ON THEM AND STILL BARELY STOPPED. SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED 20 MIN LATER AND THEY WERE FINE. SERVICE AWD LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE AND INSTALL OF BRAND NEW TIRES. WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND CAR BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCED WINDING SOUND (SORT OF LIKE AN OPEN FACED FISHING REEL WHEN YOU CAST OR REEL IT IN) THEN ALL THE SUDDEN HEARD A BIG CLUNK WHEN SIT RING AT STOP SIGN IT WAS LOUD AND JOGGED THE CAR TO THE POINT I THOUGH MAYBE A DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I TOOK OFF BUT IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVERY AND WALKED AROUND THE END CAR TO CHECK AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. NOTICED WHEN I TOOK OFF THE WINDING HAD QUIT. BUT THE NEXT DAY IT BEGAN AGAIN TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE WINDING NOISE HAD GOTTEN SO LOUD THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT WHILE DOING OIL CHANGE HAD TO BE SCHEDULED. I RAISED HELL UNTIL SOMEONE CAME OUT FROM SERVICE WHEN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME. NOISE WAS COMPLETELY GONE SERV AWD LIGHT STILL ON THO SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TO HAVE LIGHT TURNED OFF FOR 4 DAYS LATER. DROVE 30 MILES WHEN I LEFT DEALERSHIP AND IT BEGAN AGAIN STOPPED TO DROP KID OFF AND WAS HEADED BACK TO DEALERSHIP BUT WHEN I RESTARTED CAR NOISE GONE AND AWD LIGHT WAS OFF. NOISE COMES AND GOES OVER NEXT 2,000 MI NOW AWD LIGHT BACK ON AND CAR IS HORRIBLE IN SNOW WITHOUT AWD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, RANDOM TIMES OF DAY, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START MY CAR (OR SOMETIMES ALREADY BE DRIVING) BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON WITH A MESSAGE READING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" AND I CAN NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED AT TIMES WHEN I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAS EVEN LEFT ME STRANDED IN VACANT PARKING LOTS. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. I LEFT MY CAR, HAD THE UPGRADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. DURING ALL OF MY CONVERSATIONS AND VISITS TO THE DEALER, I SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS MENTIONED ONCE TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I FOUND THAT OUT MYSELF WHEN I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT UNTIL I COULD FIND A RIDE TO GET ME HOME, I'VE STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC, AND I'VE LOST COUNT OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK DAYS I'VE BEEN OUT BECAUSE WAS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE ENOUGH TO START WHEN I NEED IT TO. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 1.5 YEARS OLD. I SHOULDN'T BE DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I RECEIVED THIS CAR AS A RENTAL. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE ADJUSTED UP TO KEEP IT FROM BECOMING A FORWARD BLIND SPOT. EVEN WITH THE SEAT ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE MIRROR COMPLETELY "HIDES" OTHER VEHICLES AT INTERSECTIONS. ALTHOUGH A "LOW TECH" PROBLEM, IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED WITH THIS RECALL, AND HOW THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND THE HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES CAN MAKE THIS ISSUE EVEN WORSE. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN ON A NEW ONE, AND MANY DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT IT AS A TRADE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, MEANING THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO RE SELL THE VEHICLE. I NOW FEEL LIKE I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT A HIGH RISK OF DANGER. *TR
