STEERING
THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES LOUD "POPPING" NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO SNAP. IN ADDITION, I HAD TO HAVE ALL OF MY LIFTERS REPLACED IN THE ENGINE DUE TO A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LASTLY, THE LEATHER MATERIAL IS COMING OFF OF ALL OF THE DOORS IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED. I DESPISE DRIVING THE CAR AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL. RADIO, ABS SYSTEM, WINDOWS AND AC ALL SHUT OFF. THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND ENGINE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS BECAME COMPROMISED BEFORE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND COASTED TO STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES FROM BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON TO THE CAR BECOMING TOTALLY NONRESPONSIVE. CAR WOULD NOT START, UNLESS JUMPED. REQUIRED TOW. DEALERSHIP STATES THE ISSUE WAS AN ALTERNATOR THAT SHORTED, AND IN TURN BURNED OUT THE BATTERY. REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 (BEFORE NEGOTIATED DISCOUNT OF 10%).

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH THE 200C JERKED FORWARD AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. ALL LIGHTS ON THE GEAR CONTROL WERE LIT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. THE SYSTEM SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE WERE UNABLE TO DO ANY OF THIS BECAUSE THE CARE WAS STUCK IN DRIVE SO WE WERE UNABLE TO EVEN PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFE AREA. WE WAITED 20 MINUTES IN HOPE THAT THE CAR WOULD RESET ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT AND WE WERE ADVISED BY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO RESET THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT HAVE A WRENCH IN THE CAR IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WE HAD TO FLAG SOMEONE DOWN FOR A WRENCH. VERY SURPRISED THAT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DID NOT COME OUT TO HELP WITH THE SITUATION. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND WAITING ABOUT 1 MINUTE THE CAR RESET AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WE NOW DRIVE WITH A WRENCH IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHEN I CALLED FOR SERVICE CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE!!! THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE CARS WERE FLYING OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND COULD HAVE REAR ENDED US. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE STUCK IN DRIVE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN PUSH THE CAR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL UNTIL TODAY WHEN I HEARD FROM THEIR MANAGER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT TO BRING THE CAR IN AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR JERKS AND/OR HESITATES WHILE DRIVING. FROM A COMPLETE STOP POSITION MY CAR HAS SPUTTERED WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURN IT BACK ON SO I CAN GET IT TO GO. I HAVE A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND YOU CAN HEAR IT CLEARLY COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. A BRAND NEW CAR AND IT HAS A LOT OF TRANNY ISSUES. THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC IS THE WORST DESIGN WITH MAJOR FLAWS. CHRYSLER DOESN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT THROWS A CODE. 15 TIMES IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT IS STILL THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT NO TECH CAN FIGURE OUT. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE BUYBACK PROGRAM THEY OFFER IS A SHAM DON'T BELIEVE THEM.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. ON 08/31/2015 THE CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND A HARNESS THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SINCE WE DO RUN THE LIABILITY OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE CAR HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND ARE STUCK IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, CAR WONT RESTART AND HAVE TO WAIT 15MIN THEN IT WILL RESTART. YOU CAN NOT PUSH CAR OFF ROAD. HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AFTER 4 TIMES TO DEALER SHIP FOR SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD CAN'T DUPLICATE OR DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. CHRYSLER HAS OPENED UP 2 CASES AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. THEY DECLINED TO BUYOUT THE VEHICLE OR REPLACEMENT. I GET SAME STORY, BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WE ARE SORRY. NO YOU WILL BE SORRY WHEN MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE INJURED IN THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIME OF BROKEN DOWN ON ROAD AND HAVING DUMP TRUCK OR 18 WHEELERS DODGING MY CAR TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. THEY HAVE REPLACED COMPUTER, TRANSMISSION PARTS AND SENSORS. I TRULY BELIEVE IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED. NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I URGE EVERYONE TO AVOID THESE CARS, UNSAFE AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE!!!

POWER TRAIN
ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE WHEN IT HESITATED SLIGHTLY, SEVERAL TIMES ITS BEEN IN FOR "FUEL ISSUES" WHICH STARTED BACK IN OCT 14', BUT THIS TIME IT NEEDED AND TCM UPDATE. AFTER THIS WAS DONE IT CAME BACK WITH A CODE READING IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M GLAD MINE WAS JUST STARTING THE JERKING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, EVEN THOUGH NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, IT MAY HAVE BEEN FAR LONGER THEN THAT BUT ONLY OCCASIONALLY, IN REVERSE AND WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED.THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY ISSUES AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE BECAUSE AT ANY MOMENT YOUR TRANSMISSION CAN DROP ON IT. FOR A NEW CAR THIS IS TOO MUCH AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE DRIVING THIS CAR IF IT CUTS OUT AT THE WRONG TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTING BACK IN JANUARY I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON 5 TIMES ALL FOR A "FUEL ISSUES", ACCORDING TO THEM. I HAVE HAD THE ESIM SWITCHED TWICE NOW AS OF JUNE 2015. THE CAR DOES NOT GET THE MILES PER GALLON AS STATED, I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN ON AUG 23, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS FOR A UPDATE THEN IT LEAD TO NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 15 TIMES NOW FOR VARIOUS ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE IN SEPT 14' AND GOING BACK IN AGAIN IN A COUPLE DAYS.
