AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2016. THE PIECES NEEDED TO REPAIR AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR LATER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT PERTAINS TO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND THE TOTAL FUNCTION OF THE SEATBELT! WHAT IS GOING WITH THIS RECALL?!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING STOP-AND-GO, RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AT THE MOMENT OF THE ENGINE STALLING, I WAS COASTING WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, ON AN OVERPASS AND INSIDE OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE THAT WAS VOID OF A SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ONTO. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE IT OVER THE UPHILL OVERPASS, THE PEDAL WAS LIMP AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL IN MY DASH WAS OFF, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL IN DRIVE AND NO PHYSICAL OR AUDIO SIGNS OF WARNING OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. I QUICKLY HIT THE BRAKES TO AVOID ROLLING IN REVERSE DOWN THE OVERPASS, SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED THE RESTART THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAD OCCURRED. AFTER DRIVING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, I EXITED THE FREEWAY. AFTER MAKING A SHARP, RIGHT-HANDED TURN FROM THE OFF-RAMP TO THE LOCAL ROAD, THE EMERGENCY "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TURNED ON AND WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH AN AUDIO WARNING. THE LIGHT REMAINED LIT FOR THE DURATION OF THE TURN AND FOR APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET AFTERWARD UNTIL IT TURNED OFF. NO OTHER ABNORMALITIES WERE OBSERVED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 120K MILES ON IT AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER OCCURRED IN THE PAST. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 200, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS. MY ENGINE IS A 4-CYL, 2.4L. DESPITE THIS WIDESPREAD HAZARD, AND AN EARLY INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA, NO RECALL HAS BEEN MANDATED. THE RATIONALE? BECAUSE IT OCCURS AT A "LOW RATE IF SPEED". THIS IS ABSURD. I WAS ON A FREEWAY OVERPASS, INSIDE A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, DURING RUSH HOUR. IF THIS NOT A HAZARD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. PLEASE MANDATE A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES ON A TRAIN TRACK OR INTERSECTION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
"TAKATA RECALL" MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 66,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ETS LIGHT LIT UP. MORE IMPORTANTLY MY SPEED WAS AFFECTED. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 6 TIMES. 2ND, WAS WET HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. 3RD, AND 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH PERFECT WEATHER, DRIVING AT 75 MPH BOTH ENGINE AND ETS LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS PARKING BRAKE LIGHT AND CAR REDUCED SPEED TO 55 MPH BEFORE I COULD SPEED UP. 5TH, ENTERING A STREET AT A COMPLETE STOP, TURNED RIGHT AND SPED UP BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SPEED REDUCED TO 20 MPH AND I ALMOST WAS REAR-ENDED. AFTER THIS NEAR COLLISION, I TOOK TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. FOR TWO WEEKS, THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE HAD NO SOLUTION. I DROVE THE CAR WITH THE TECH AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THAT SAME EVENING I WAS BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE AND BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY SPEED WAS AFFECTED UNTIL MY NEXT STOP. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT THE ETS LIGHT WENT OUT. MY SPEED WAS NO LONGER AFFECTED. THE NEXT MORNING 5/24/17 I STARTED MY CAR AND NEITHER LIGHT STAYED ON.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A KNOCKING OR CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, IN OR AROUND STEERING COLUMN. I'VE HAD LOWER ARM CONTROL AND SWAY BAR REPLACED AND IT DID NOTHING TO HELP THE PROBLEM. I THEN HAD CHRYSLER DIAGNOSE IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS, WHICH I DID AND THAT DID NOT HELP. THE NOISE COMES AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS LOSE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'VE RESEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS A RECALL LIST FOUND ON CHRYSLER.COM FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR FOR THE STEERING COLUMN, AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CAR ALSO FALLS WITHIN THE DATE. BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW BUT ONE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL WHATSOEVER AND WANT MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING MY 200 IF I AM ENTERING TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO INCREASE SPEED (GO ABOVE 3000 RPMS) IT WILL HESITATE WITH NO INCREASE IN SPEED BEFORE JOLTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. IT WILL DO THIS AT ANY TIME, FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH AND NEEDING TO PICK UP SPEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT TOO. IVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES, SO NOW IM THE ANNOYING PERSON WHO WAITS TO GO UNTIL NO OTHER CARS ARE APPROACHING. I ALWAYS WARM UP MY CARS BEFORE DRIVING AND THIS CAR WILL TRY TO DIE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR NO REASON.

THE VEHICLE REPORT SHOWED NO COMPUTER CODES INDICATING FAILURE.
