ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200, IT HAS ROUGHLY 70,000 MILES, AS I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 40-50 MPH. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T PULL OVER BECAUSE OF IT BEING OVER A BRIDGE. WHEN I WENT TO PULL OVER THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE 3RD OR 4TH TRY. THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AS I AM READING MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE & YEAR.

POWER TRAIN
MY ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE ONCE, APPROX. (1) YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REVISITS WITH THE DEALER TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FOR ERRATIC SHIFTING AND FREE WHEELING DOWN HILLS. THEY HAVE UPGRADED THE FIRMWARE BECAUSE THEY HAD ISSUES THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. WHEN TRAVEL AT 25 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL VIBRATE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH AND BACK TO 4TH. WHEN I COME TO A HILL AT 25 MPH IN 5TH GEAR, IT WILL COAST THEN UPSHIFT TO 6TH (WITH VIBRATIONS). AT 59 MPH IN 8TH GEAR THE CAR VIBRATES UP TO APPROX. 63 MPH. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER WERE WORKING WITH ME UNTIL I EXPRESSED I NEED SOMETHING TO BE DONE (NOT FEELING SAFE IN THIS CAR), THEY NOW ARE STATING (FRANK-CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR) THAT BECAUSE THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE (DID NOT ALLOW ME TO RIDE WITH HIM WHEN HE DID A TEST DRIVE), CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THE CASE WILL BE CLOSED. I RECEIVED A COMMUNICATION STATING THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED AS OF 6/20/16. IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT CHRYSLER IS NOW IN A DAMAGE CONTROL SINCE I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A "CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE", FRANK SUGGESTED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO HIM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT DEEM THE ISSUE TO WARRANT SUCH A CONVERSATION. HE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT IF I WANTED A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER DEALER, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE COST. FRANK ALSO WANTED TO KNOW WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THE "CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE"? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT VIBRATES AND FREE WHEELS AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO GO AWAY.

AIR BAGS
AT APPROXIMATELY MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS LIT UP, OFF AND ON FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED LAST YEAR IN JUNE. IT HAD 37K MILES WHEN BOUGHT AND NOW HAS 55K. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DON'T SERVICE CHRYSLERS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID TOO BAD, WE CAN'T HELP YOU. MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO SINCE THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER YEAR, MAKE, AND MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. PLEASE HELP.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DEFROSTER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE OR FAN ARE SET AT. THUS MAKING VISIBILITY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP VERY POOR. BY THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE IT IS BECAUSE DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS PIN HOLE LEAKS WERE DISCOVERED IN THE RADIATOR INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE AFFECTED PART THEY PUT A STOP LEAK FORMULA IN THE HEATING SYSTEM. THIS WAS AN IMPROPER PRODUCT AND CAUSED A SLUDGE BUILD UP WHICH IRREPARABLY DESTROYED THE HEATER CORE. IN ADDITION TO THE DEFROSTER PROBLEM HOT AIR ONLY COMES OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE VENTS WHILE COLS AIR COMES OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS,
