SERVICE BRAKES
2 weeks ago on approximately May 14th I was backing out of my drive way and my brake pedal was hard and I was barely able to stop my car. It takes approximately 3 to 4 car lengths to fully stop at 10 mph. I replaced the brakes and bled the brakes properly but I have come to the conclusion that the brake booster has gone bad. My safety and others is at risk due to the length of time it takes to stop and the lack of stopping power. I am unable to take it to a dealer as it doesn't run at the present time. The abs and park brake lights were on and the dash says to service electronic braking system. I am trying to get this fixed asap as I need transportation to and from work and I am not trying to put my wife or son in any danger.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Car is stalling for unknown reason without any warning or light appearing on dash. Feeling unsafe especially when driving on the highway because I never know when it will happen. Has been happening every day for the past 3 days. Happened in the beginning after a couple months of having the car and the first time I took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong or replicate the problem.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
Wire connector under the passenger seat disables the airbag and turns on the SRS light with the code B0028-13 Right side Airbag circuit open. I have noticed that FCA is aware of the problem as the fix is to replace the wire Connectors under the seat. As an alignment mechanic I am in and out of a lot of vehicles and just about all of the 2015 to 2017 Chrysler 200s I have worked on have this code, some also have B0020-13 which is the left side seat air bag circuit open.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Driving and the car just completely shuts off and/or malfunctions. It’s been when I’m slowing down to make a turn. The computer system/car shuts off and it’s impossible to get it turned back on for 1-4 minutes. Very dangerous and almost gotten into an accident twice now.

I have to start my car and let it run for 20 minutes at least at a time to get the temperature gauge to have 4 or 5 notches, before I can take off or it will immediately die.. no matter the temperature outside I can't just ever get in it and go or it will just shut off. It's like I quit giving it the gas. It starts back up usually after 2 tries. It acts like I'm not giving it gas, just stops..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
About 2 weeks ago , my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life… I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Airbag light has came on with dealership replacing the wiring harness under the seat twice. The light is now on for a third time. After online forum research, I learned that wiggling the wiring connections can get the connection back and airbag light to go away. It worked. Numerous complaints of loose wiring. Purchased the vehicle brand new currently with 125k miles. First repair was free. Second was out of warranty and I had to pay for parts.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
GOV driver was being signaled by other passing vehicles to pull over as their vehicle was on fire. The driver was able to safely stop the vehicle and found the engine compartment was on fire. He then called EMS. 1) How fast was the customer traveling when they became aware of the fire? I was at a stop light when I was notified by another vehicle that my car was on fire. I had no idea my car was on fire previously. Once I pulled over I starting seeing smoke come out the vents. I was on the highway on my way to the destination and possibly going 60 MPH but didn’t see any smoke while on the highway. 2) What was the recent usage of the vehicle before the incident? Was it used that day? How long had the vehicle been driving before the incident? The GOV was used maybe once or twice every two months. Yes it was used that day for about 25 minutes before the fire was noticed. 3) Did any vehicle operator notice anything wrong or unusual about the vehicle prior to the incident? Not to my knowledge 4) Any after-market equipment installed? Not to my knowledge

ENGINE
My car has shut off several times after starting. I have had to turn the car on and then turn it back on. The car has shut off on me a few times while driving. I just purchased this car as used in August of this year (2021). I am afraid this issue could happen while on the highway while cars are going at a high rate of speed. This most recent incident was today as I was going off to work.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it’s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.

AIR BAGS
I've had several issues with the airbag warning light coming on telling me to service the airbag. While the car was covered under the warranty the dealership replaced the part at least three times and eventually told me to stop digging under my driver seat as the wiring harness for the air bags was located there. As anyone with kids may know that isn't the easiest thing to do. Bit even more alarming is the fact that if there is an accident my airbags may malfunction since the warning light is on. And the cost to get it fixed it way to high for me to pay especially knowing that it's just going to happen again in a few months since it's already been replaced a number of times.
