WHEELS
ENCOUNTERED A FLAT TIRE (OBSERVED WHEN DRIVING) AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE THE WHEEL / TIRE OFF TO PUT ON THE SPARE, FOUND I COULD NOT LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS WITH A VARIETY OF LUG WRENCHES THAT WERE TRIED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS HAD TO BE HAMMERED OFF THE WHEEL AND REPLACED. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS ON THE REMAINING WHEELS / TIRES WERE IN THE SAME CONDITION. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS "NOBODY'S FAULT" THAT THIS HAPPENED TO THE LUG NUTS. I DISAGREE - AND SUBMIT THAT IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE LUG NUTS THAT WAS "AT FAULT". I READ ABOUT A SIMILAR INCIDENT INVOLVING FORD VEHICLES THAT WAS ON THE VERGE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT THEN DISMISSED. APPARENTLY THE OUTSIDE COATING (ALUMINUM?) ON THE LUG NUTS SHEARS OFF WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION FOR HAVING TO REPLACE THESE, ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE FACTORY RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CHRYSLER 200 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS AND STALLING. WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE PLUS ELECTRICAL POWER SHUTS DOWN WHICH LEADS TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS MAKE/MODEL HAS A 'VERY BAD' RATING ON NHTSA WEBSITE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED AUTO THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON. AFTER A NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UP OR DOWN HILL THE BRAKE FLUID WOULD BE OFF THE SENSOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. NO REPAIRS WERE DONE OR RECOMMENDED EVEN AFTER I PUSHED THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE IS WHEN DO I KNOW IT IS JUST A FLUID LEVEL PROBLEM OR SOME OTHER BRAKE PROBLEM THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER SAID THE PART ALONE WOULD BE $550 TO FIX - THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND ULTIMATELY, SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED! I'M PLANNING ON TRADING IN MY CAR IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO AVOID MORE ISSUES LIKE THIS; TERRIBLE TERRIBLE COMPANY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ATC TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SENDING POWER AND GROUND TO THE LEFT SIDE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, SO THE HEAT AND DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN CONDITIONS WARRANT THE DEFOGGER IS NEEDED. DURING ADVERSE WEATHER ON 8/24 (UNSEASONABLY COOL AND RAINING IN CENTRAL NC), I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND AS NOTED, THE DEFOGGER ISN'T WORKING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AFTER STARTING IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ALSO AT A STOP POSITION ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT USING THE GAS PEDDLE. ALSO ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC INDICATOR PERIODICALLY COME ON. THEY NEVER STAY ON BUT CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ! YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND HOPE YOU DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.. OWNERS MANUAL MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF AFTER YOU CYCLE THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVING THE CAR. WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP SOON. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS VERY SCAREY SITUATION

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST HAD BEEN FALLING DOWN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A BOOM. I WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS PARKED. THEN I FOUND THE HEADREST HAD PUSHED OUT TOTALLY, STUCK OUT BY A PIECE OF METAL. I COULD NOT PUSH IT BACK. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST OVER $450.00 TO RESET IT OR GET A NEW ONE. I TRIED TO PULL THE WHOLE HEADREST OUT, BUT IT DOES NOT COME OUT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CARS UP TO 2013. BUT MINE IS A 2014. DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE HEADRESTS. I'VE HEARD THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE ONE MORE YEAR TO PAY FOR IT. I AM NOT TRADING IT IN. I FEEL CHRSYLER SHOULD FIX THIS. FOR FREE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP TWICE, THE SEAL BEHIND THE GAS CAP AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH, CUTTING OUT AND JERKING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.
