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.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 IT WAS CONSIDERED USED AT THE DEALER AND SOON AFTER PURCHASING IT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE WHEN THE PASSENGER PRESSED THE RED BUTTON TO UNLATCH THE BELT. QUITE A FEW TIMES THE PASSENGER HAD TO LITERALLY CLIMB OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT BELT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS STILL LATCHED I REALLY HAD TO PULL HARD TO GET IT TO UNBUCKLE. SOMETIMES ON LONG TRIPS I WOULD MAKE THE PASSENGER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THIS BECAME QUITE AN ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT WOULD UNBUCKLE AS IT SHOULD HAVE AND OTHER TIMES I FOUGHT WITH IT SO HARD I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD UNBUCKLE. OF COURSE THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT GETTING READY TO DRIVE WITH EVERYONE PUTTING ON THEIR SEAT BELTS AND IT WOULD ONLY BE THE OCCUPANT SEAT BELT THAT WOULD DO THIS WHEN I PARKED AND EVERYONE WAS DEPARTING THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT HAVING A SOLUTION ON OR NEAR THE RECALL DATE OF SEPTEMBER 13, 2016.. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE RECALLS.MOPAR.COM SITE AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION. IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHERE THE OCCUPANT COULD NOT GET THE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED AND THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IT COULD BE SEROUS IF NOT DEADLY. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE AND A RECENT UPDATE STATING THE THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHO SENDS OUT A RECALL NOTICE WITHOUT A SOLUTION? THAT WORRIED ME RIGHT AWAY. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE PEOPLE THAT RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE A SOLUTION RIGHT AWAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIED BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS RECALL IS SOMETHING THAT THEY STATED IF SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FIXED CORRECTLY. IT STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AWAY AND MAYBE THATS WHY IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALER.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON NOV 7 2016 AT ROUGHLY 7PM, I WAS HEADING WEST ON THE 10 FREEWAY LOCATION 34.065990,-117.993771, BALDWIN PARK, CA. TRAFFIC STARTED TO SLOW TO 45 MPH THEN CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND I WAS THE LAST ONE IN THE 4 CAR COLLISION. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES MAY BE FAULTY FOR WHEN I STEPPED ON THEM AS HARD AS I COULD IT SEEMED TO BE MORE OF A SKIPPING STOP. FOR THE LITTLEST BUMP FEELS LIKE UR HYDROPLANING TO A STOP. CHRYSLER NEVER INFORMED ME OF ANY RECALL ABOUT THE AIRBAGS THOUGH I FELT THEY SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP TILL MARCH SO I HAVENT HAD IT BACK BUT A FEW MONTHS.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN NOV. 2016 THAT MY CAR "MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES". IT ALSO STATES IN BOLD TYPE "THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH". I REGISTERED ONLINE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART FOR REPAIR IS AVAILABLE, AND AS OF MAY 12, 2017 THE PART NEEDED FOR REPAIR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS AND I AM EXTREMELY ANGRY AT CHRYSLER'S LACK OF CONCERN IN MAKING THIS REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF FAMILY AND MYSELF!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 1 MAY 2017, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS CRUISING AT 67 MPH ON THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN BUSY MORNING TRAFFIC. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM 67 MPH TO 70 MPH THEN TO 74 MPH WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I CANCELLED CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE CAR STAYED AT THE ACCELERATED SPEED AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THAT TIME. I TAPPED THE BRAKE WITH NO RESPONSE; THEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND FINALLY REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS THEN ABLE TO BRAKE AND SLOW THE CAR DOWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS ACCELERATED TO 74 MPH, I HAD NO CONTROL AND I COULD HEAR THAT IT WAS WINDING AND TRYING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR BUT IT SEEMED STUCK AT 4000 RPMS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I ALSO AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MYSELF. IT'S A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT BECAUSE THE CAR ALSO SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. ON A DAILY BASIS, I CAN FEEL THE CAR SPEED UP WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. THIS SUDDEN SURGE COULD EASILY CAUSE A FENDER BENDER. EACH TIME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS EVENT ON 1 MAY, I WAS OFFERED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN, BUT I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT AND SEE NO NEED SINCE ON BOTH OCCASIONS THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HOPE THEY BUY THIS CAR BACK AS I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE TO TRADE IN PLUS I AM "UPSIDE DOWN" SO I WOULD STILL BE PAYING FOR IT EVEN IF I TRADED IT. I HOPE CHRYSLER DOES THE RIGHT THING BY MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE. SEE ALSO ODI 11102154. *DSY *TT

ENGINE
AFTER WORK I GO TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS A HARD START AND THEN MY CAR DIED. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO POP OUT OF THE HOOD. WELL, CHRYSLER WAS INFORMED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY SERVICE MAN CALLED APPROXIMATELY 45 MIN AFTER MY CAR WAS DELIVERED TO THEM EXPLAINING TO ME I WAS ABOUT 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE I EXPLAINED TO HIM. ON THE DRIVER SIDE THERE IS A STICKER SHOWING I JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGE NOT TO LONG AGO. MY SERVICE MAN SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. THIS TYPE OF ENGINE BURNS OIL AND I RECOMMEND WHEN YOU FILL UP YOUR TANK TO CHECK YOUR OIL EVERY TIME. I FILL UP ONCE A WEEK SO I HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL ONCE A WEEK!? THIS IS RIDICULOUS MY NEW CAR BURNS OIL!? GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AFTER WORK. WHAT IF MY CAR WOULD HAVE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS. I DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO TAKE AND PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL. NOW I HAVE TO CARRY A QUART OF OIL SO MY CAR DOESN'T STALL AND DIE ON ME
