ENGINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT; THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN PARK; YESTERDAY THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE, ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD; AFTER TURNING OFF FOR A MINUTE; IT RESTARTED; BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON INDICATING A PROBLEM; THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT; I HAVE READ OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED; WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE?

AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW WEEKS, I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL HARD SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AT TIMES. IT ALSO WILL SKIP 2ND GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE WITH SHUTTER WHEN SKIPPING THAT GEAR GOING FROM 3 STRAIGHT TO 1. THERE IS ALSO SOME HESITATION WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE GAS FROM THAT GEAR SKIP. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN UPDATE OR A TRANSMISSION FIX OF SOME KIND TO FIX THIS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS HARD SHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING ISSUES, ALWAYS CAUSING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE IT KEEPS JUMPING AND CONCERNS MY SAFETY AND SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS. I FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND A LEMON LAW SUIT WITH ATTORNEY TROY GORMAN, HOWEVER THE COMPANY SHOWS UP A PAPER THAT I SIGNED OF MY LEGAL RIGHT TO SUE THEM FOR ANY WARRANTY DISPUTES! WHO WILL ENSURE MY SAFETY AND OTHER DRIVERS SAFETY THEN? ISN'T THAT A FRAUD AND MANIPULATING WITH THE LAW? I WASN'T GIVEN ANY COPIES OF THAT DOCUMENT AT THE TIME OF SIGNING THE LEASE, I WASN'T TOLD OR EXPLAINED ANY THING REGARDING THIS HIDDEN FRAUD. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY LEMON CASE AND COMPLAINT

VEHICLE CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY BUT SEEMS LIKE IT PERIODICALLY I STEP ON THE GAS AND IT FEELS LIKE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL (ONLY REVS) THEN KICKS INTO GEAR WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS AT STOPS, SMALL ROADS, HIGHWAYS AND MAIN ROADS IN OTHER WORDS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AT ANYTIME ANYWHERE.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AS THE FOOT BRAKE GAVE OUT. HE HAD TO STEP AS HARD AS HE COULD WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. AT THE SAME TIME THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED ITSELF AND MADE DRIVING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. YOU COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, THE BRAKES STILL WON'T WORK, BUT THE PARK BREAK WAS BACK TO NORMAL. IF YOU GET THE CAR TO A HALT AND PUT IT IN PARK, IT KEEPS ON DRIVING, AS SOON AS YOU DARE TO SLIGHTLY LET GO OF THE BRAKE. YOUR ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS CAR IS TO ENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE AND HOPE THAT IT GRABS. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE, CHRYSLER IS CONTACTED. THIS IS FOR SURE SCARY, GIVEN THAT MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
CAR LOST ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS UNDER FULL THROTTLE GOING UP A HILL. THE DASH BOARD LIGHT FOR A TEMPURATOR SENDER CAME ON FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS LOCKED OUT PUTTING IT INTO PARK. THE CAR ONLY WENT INTO THE "S" POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT STILL HAD NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. THE CAR WAS LOCKED OUT OF TURNING TO A ANY GEAR. I HAD TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART SEVERAL TIME UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS FREE. FINALLY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THIS CAN ALL BE VERIFIED BY THE STATE POLICE WHO STOPPED TO HELP THE DEALER SAID IT WAS AS IF A COMPUTER RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE, THE CAR HAD TO BE REBOOTED!~. THATS FINE IF YOU'RE STANDING STILL; BUT NOT TRAVELING AT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COULD COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IN THE LEFT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OK.. SO LET ME VENT HERE. I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR THIS YEAR. (MARCH) AND THEY LET ME TAKE MY CAR FOR A NIGHT TO SEE IF I WOULD LIKE THE CAR. THEY HAD A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LX 2.4CYL. OR A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED 3.6 V6 THE 2013 HAD 37K THE 2014 HAD 21K. I WANTED THE 2014 BUT WHEN THEY ASKED ABOUT IT. IT WAS ALREADY SOLD... I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SO I WENT FOR THE '13 LX. DROVE IT OFF THE LOT FOR A TEST DRIVE. DROVE JUST FINE. GOT BACK TO THE DEALER. SIGNED A PAPER AND LEFT WITH IT FROM THE DEALER FOR THE NIGHT. WELL ON MY WAY HOME. I THOUGHT WOULD GO OUT OF MY WAY A LITTLE BIT FOR A LITTLE EXTRA DRIVE. (KEEP IN MIND I HAD A FULL TANK FROM THE DEALER) LOL! SOMETHING I REQUESTED. BECAUSE WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. IT WAS ON E. AND GAS LIGHT WAS ON. BUT BACK TO THE POINT. WHILE GOING OUT OF MY WAY. I STOPPED TO GET PIZZA. AND LEFT MY CAR RUNNING. ALL LIGHTS WERE ON. I'M SITTING INSIDE WAITING FOR MY PIZZA. SINCE I CALLED IT IN BEFORE HAND. GOT MY PIZZA. COME OUT TO MY CAR. AND I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS. AND THOUGHT. HMM. I COULD HAVE SWORE I LEFT MY CAR RUNNING. LIKE WTF. AND MY HEADLIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WAS STILL ON! AND THEN I THOUGHT. OH [XXX]... I GOT INTO MY CAR. EVERYTHING IS ON. AC (WHICH OF COURSE WASN'T COLD AIR SINCE ENGINE WASN'T RUNNING) AND ALL MY LIGHTS WERE ON. AND I KNEW AS SOON AS I GOT INTO MY CAR AND THE RPM'S ARE ON 0 AND EVERYTHING IS STILL ON. I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE. IN SHOCK AND DISAPPOINTMENT. TURNED MY KEY BACK. AND TURNED IT BACK AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. SO I WAS UPSET BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. TOOK IT IN AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER WHILE THEY "FIXED" IT. GOT IT BACK AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER THAT. NOW IT JUST STARTED AGAIN TODAY. BOUT A MONTH WORTH'S OF TIME... I'M SICK OF THIS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45K NOW. AND I GOT IT WITH 37K... TAKING MY CAR IN ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY... STAY SAFE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON JULY 4 THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON SEVERAL TIMES , STAYING ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUM AND WHEEL . IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE. ON JULY 5 , I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A BACK ROAD WITH SEVERAL CURVES . THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN . CLICKING WAS STILL HAPPENING AS WELL. ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT LIKE I WAS SLIDING ON A SHEET OF ICE. I SWIRVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR UNDER CONTROL. THEN MY VEHICLE WAS ON TWO WHEELS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE . WHICH THEN SLIDE OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN A EMBANKMENT TURNING SEVERAL TIMES AND LANDING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THE CAR JULY 2015 AND BY OCT 2015 THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WOULD DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN MOTION. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THE RECALL WAS ACONPLISHED AND THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED. WITHIN A MONTH THE CAR WAS BACK TO DOWNSHIFTING AT ODD TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR HAS REPEATLY BEEN IN 3 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOPS AND IT HAS ALWAYS GONE BACK TO DOWNSHIFTING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT ODD TIMES. I DID GET IT WHILE IT WAS DOWNSHIFTED ON MY PHONE RECENTLY SO I HAVE A VIDEO. SINCE THE VIDEO THE ENGINEERS AT CHRYSLER HAD THE DEALER CHANGE A MODULAR IN THE COMPUTER AND THE DEALER PUT 200 MILES ON THE CAR AND ASSURED ME IT WAS FIXED. THE SAME DAY I PICKED THE CAR UP IT DOWNSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO BRING IT BACK IN. I JUST PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINEERS TOLD THEM ONLY TO DRIVE MY CAR. SINCE IT DIDN'T DO IT IN THE 331 MILES THAT THEY DROVE IT THEY WERE TOLD TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK AS REPAIRED. I TOOK THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO TAKE IT RIGHT BACK BECAUSE NOW MY PHONE CAN'T CONNECT WITH THE CAR AND MY RADIO ISN'T WORKING TOO. THEY SAY IT S THE RADIO SO THEY HAVE ORDERED A NEW ONE. I'M IN SALES AND MY CAR HAS 29,000 MILES AND I LOSE THE WARRANTY ON THE COMPUTER AR 35,000 MILES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I CONTACTED CHRYLSER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE WORKER AND CASE NUMBER,AND WAS TOLD BY THE CASE WORKER THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 200S. THE RENTAL CAR AGENCY SAYS THERE ARE A LOT OF RENTALS BY DEALERS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 200S. I WOULD SEND YOU THE VIDEO BUT WITH IT BEING ON THE PHONE I'M NOT SURE HOW.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 V6 HAS NOW STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS GOING OVER 40 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY, BUT AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO THE CAR WILL START NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY REV UP AND LURCH WHILE STOOPED AT RED LIGHTS, AND WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL BUT DOESN'T DIE TOTALLY, BUT WILL DRIVE FINE ONCE I GET MOVING AGAIN. ONLY BY PURE LUCK HAVE I NOT BEEN SLAMMED INTO BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN I'VE STALLED. MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE CHAPMAN DEALERSHIP IN HORSHAM, PA. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I GAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. BASICALLY THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S MY TOUGH LUCK, AND HOPEFULLY OUR FAULTY CAR THAT YOU HAVE A WARRANTY ON DOESN'T GET YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED. I RECENTLY HAD A DATA RECORDER INSTALLED FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO STALLING OCCURED, SO NOW CHRYSLER IS TELLING ME THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND, BUT THEY'ER BASICALLY TELLING ME TO TAKE MY LIFE IN MY HANDS WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I SPENT CLOSE TO $30,000 FOR BETWEEN CAR AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SAID TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN...WELL, WHAT IF I CAN'T CALL THEM BECAUSE I'M DEAD OR PARALYZED. WHAT IF I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR OR MINIVAN FULL OF KIDS RAMS INTO ME OR SWERVES TO AVOID ME. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM WITH 2011 CHRYSLER 200'S AND KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, SO I THINK THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP SOLUTION ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE COST OF A RECALL.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BOUGHT BACK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR AND HAD GONE THROUGH FULL INSPECTION AND WAS CLEARED FOR SALE. TWO DAYS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD ACCELERATED FROM 60-92 ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALERSHIP PUTS NEW PARTS IN AND EVERY TWO WEEKS AFTER I GET MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. CHRYSLER HAS A TEAM TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK AROUND 10 TIMES AND IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST WEEK IT ACCELERATED FROM 72 TO 97 ON THE FREEWAY WHILE MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. WE ALMOST HIT A SEMI. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO KEEP CLOSING MY CASES AND TELLING ME THEY FIXED IT WHEN IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE GOOGLED ENGINE ISSUES ON THESE CARS AND FOUND MINE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I AM PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN UNSAFE CAR THAT KEEPS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.
