I START DRIVING AND IT TURNS OFF THE WHOLE ENGINE WITHOUT A WARNING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IN MANY INSTANCES I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS IN MID TRAFFIC THE CAR SHUTS OFF NO WARNING AT ALL. THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT TAKES A COUPLE OF PUSH STARTS TO START UP. I READ A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I MAINTAINED THE CAR WELL SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR IN 2018. A CHRYSLER 200 2016 CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE HOLE SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES. ALL THE SCREENS ALL THINGS THAT LIGHT UP. NOT EVERY TIME, BUT SOMETIMES. THEN WHEN YOU GO TO SWITCH GEARS TO BACK UP THE BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T ALWAYS SWITCH TO BACK UP. IT WILL STAY ON THE SAME SCREEN OR GO BLACK. THIS PART ACTUALLY HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A WEEK.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CAR STALLS WHEN I START TO DRIVE. IF I DON'T LET IT IDLE IN PARK FOR A GOOD 15 MINUTES IT WILL STALL AND TELLS ME TO PUT IT IN PARK. ONCE IT STALLS IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IF I HIT THE SMALLEST POTHOLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND IT GIVES ME A MESSAGE STATING SERVICE AIRBAGS. ALSO THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT CAME UNTRACKED AND CANNOT MOVE IT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WITHOUT IT MAKING A WEIRD NOISE.

AIR BAGS
SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE PER SEARCH ON INTERNET. SINCE AIRBAGS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, IS THERE A REASON THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED? POORLY DESIGNED HARNESS UNDER SEATS ALLOWS FOR WIRES TO BE EASILY DAMAGED OR BECOME LOOSE FROM MOVING SEAT OR BEING BUMPED BY BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. RECEIVED ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $2800.00.

ENGINE
SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES MY CAR HAS SMELLED OF ANTI-FREEZE. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN, GENE'S CHRYSLER SAID MY CABIN AIR FILTER WAS FLOODED WITH COOLANT AND THAT MY RADIATOR WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAMS. THIS WAS CHANGED AT 36,000 (MARCH 2018) MILES. AFTER THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR, I STILL SMELLED IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "SPRAY" THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY BROKEN. AT 57,000 MILES (JAN 2019) I STILL SMELL IT. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO GENE'S FOR AN AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR AND THEY NOTICED MY RADIATOR IS LEAKING, AGAIN, AND REPLACED IT. NOW, KEEP IN MIND, I AM NOT LEAVING COOLANT PUDDLES ANYWHERE NOR IS MY TEMP SENSOR FOR THE COOLANT REPORTING ANYTHING THAN WHAT IS NORMAL. I AM AGAIN SMELLING ANTI-FREEZE.GENE'S AGAIN TELLS ME THAT IT'S JUST FROM THE SPRAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS DRIVING JUST FINE UNTIL I WENT TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT I WAS PARKED IN. I PUSHED THE BRAKE DOWN TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE GOT HARDER TO PUSH DOWN. IT DISPLAYS ON MY SCREEN THE 'BRAKE' IS ON BUT IT'S NOT. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES WENT OUT BUT IT'S SO HARD TO PUSH THEM DOWN. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THEN ON A MAIN ROAD OR EVEN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER. IT'S NO WAY AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING THIS CAR THAT ANYTHING THIS SERIOUS WITH MY BRAKES SHOULD'VE HAPPENED AT ALL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CONDUCTED PRE-TRIP SAFETY INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. ALL LIGHTS, MIRRORS, GAUGES, AND SAFETY BELTS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE WARNING LIGHTS, FUEL LEVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY , AND ODOMETER LOG WAS ACCURATE. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS TO INCLUDE VIBRATIONS, UNUSUAL NOISES, OR ODORS DURING INITIAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS RELATIVELY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. THE ONLY UNUSUAL DETAIL WE NOTICED WAS THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL TICKS (PARASITES) INSIDE THE VEHICLE. 0900: ARRIVED ON SITE AT BLUE SPRINGS LAKE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON A GRAVEL ROAD WITH OTHER GOV VEHICLES. 1000: DROVE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES TO A GAS STATION TO USE RESTROOM AND RETURNED TO WORKSITE. THE VEHICLE, ONCE AGAIN, FAILED TO EXHIBITED ANY ABNORMALITIES. 1315: LEFT WORKSITE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON HWY 40 AT 55 MPH. ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE UP WITH AC ON FULL. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90F. 1320: SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AS WE APPROACHED A RED LIGHT. I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE LIGHT AND OBSERVED WHITE AND BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (25% OF MAX). I PULLED INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. WE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED ORANGE FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I INSTRUCTED MR. BAKER TO CALL 911 AND REPORT THE FIRE ALONG WITH OUR LOCATION. I SEARCHED FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER UNDER THE SEATS AND IN THE TRUNK WITHOUT SUCCESS. A FEW SECONDS LATER A GOOD SAMARITAN IN A WORK TRUCK STOPPED AND KNOCKED DOWN THE FLAMES WITH HIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MILEAGE = 42,351

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, IT HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND I NO LONGER CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT. ALL OCCASIONS WERE ON A CITY STREET WHILE BRAKING. THE CAR SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT IT IS SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHILE REMAINING AT ONE SPEED AND THEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. IT OCCASIONALLY SHIFTS HARD AND/OR MAKES AN ODD NOISE IN THE ENGINE.

DTC B002813 CIRCUIT OPEN HAD TO REMOVE PASSENGER SEAT, DISASSEMBLE, INSTALL UPDATED WIRING HARNESS, ETC. COST $1,800 TO REPAIR. COMPLAINT - THIS EXTENSIVE REPAIR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED FOR THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE CAR. WE FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS CAR DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM MUST BE THIS EXTENSIVE. VERY DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER DESIGN.
