ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD UNTIL IT ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AT NIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE AVOIDING A CRASH, BUT JUST BARELY. THANKFULLY, I BROKE DOWN NEXT TO TWO POLICE OFFICERS WHO HELPED PUSH MY VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THESE OFFICERS MAY BE ABLE TO ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT NO NOISES OR ABNORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENT BEFORE THE ABRUPT SHUT-OFF WHILE DRIVING. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED, BUT THE PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS IS ONE OF A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. I WILL ATTEMPT TO RETAIN THE FAULTY ALTERNATOR FROM THE REPAIR CENTER. I HAD ONLY STARTED THE CAR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES (ENGINE STRUGGLING TO START, LIGHTS DIMMING, ETC.) WHILE STARTING THE CAR OR DURING OPERATION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 17 AND ATTEMPTING TO TRAVERSE AN OVERPASS AT 66MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH AND DECELERATE. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKES AND NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER WHEN I LOST MY ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION ALARM BEGAN GOING OFF. I PRESSED THE BRAKES UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THANKFULLY WAS NOT REAR-ENDED) AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. LUCKILY THE CAR RESTARTED, HOWEVER AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN 500FT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALL MY HUSBAND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING, HOWEVER THE CAR ONLY STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS BEFORE IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AFTER PROVIDING MY LOCATION, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ASKED ME THE FOLLOWING QUESTION POINT BLANK "WERE YOU DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR CAR STALLED?" TO WHICH I REPLIED THAT IT WAS CURIOUS SHE ASKED ME THAT AS IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I ASKED HER IF IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHE SAID NO SHE WAS JUST REQUIRED TO ASK THE QUESTION. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE NOTED: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311. INTERMITTENT AOD AND B FEED CIRCUITS F3 3. THE DEALERSHIP FLASHED THE PCM, INSPECTED, REPAIRED THE PDC CONNECTOR C4 TERMINAL PUSHOUTS ON PINS 15 & 18. BUT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HERE, I WAS NOT CONVINCED THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. I CONTACTED MY FRIEND AND SALES PERSON WHO'S FATHER OWNED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ASSISTED US WITH A VEHICLE TRADE AS HAVING YOUR CAR DIE AND LOSE STEERING AT 66MPH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WHICH HAS FAILED TO RAISE ALARM FOR BOTH CHRYSLER AND NHTSA....I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FIRST DUE TO THIS ISSUE...

THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFT PADDLES (SPORT SHIFT MODEL CHRYSLER 200S) HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR ME. THESE PADDLES (+ AND -) ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES, JUST ABOVE THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE BACK FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 16 MILE ROAD, I THOUGHT I WAS CHANGING THE CHANNEL OF MY RADIO STATION, INSTEAD I HIT THE PADDLE, THIS STOPPED MY ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, INSTEAD THE RPMS WENT UP. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ADJUST AND WAS IN THE LEFT (FAST) LANE WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE 'MICHIGAN LEFT' LANE, I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON HALL ROAD APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, FORTUNATELY I WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY TO TURN ON TO A STREET. I BELIEVE MOST OF THE FUNCTIONS IN THIS CAR ARE ERGONOMICALLY WRONG. THE 'DIAL' TO PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE IS JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE AIR FLOW DIAL. I HAVE LOOKED BEHIND THE CAR TO BE SURE THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS / VEHICLES AND WHILE MY HEAD WAS TURNED, MY HAND TURNED THE DIAL FOR AIR FLOW INSTEAD OF THE DIAL FOR REVERSE. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE IS A SMALL PULL BUTTON JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER TRY TO PULL IT AS THEY ASKED WHAT IT WAS . . .

TRANSMISSION ISSUES: WHEN TRANS DOWN SHIFTS FROM 8TH TO 7TH GEAR IT SPEEDS UP BEFORE DOWN SHIFTING TO 6TH WHILE BRAKING IS A SCARY FEELING. ALSO JUMPS OUT OF 5TH WHEN UPSHIFTING WHILE ACCELERATING. OTHER ISSUES WHEN PULLING IN TO TRAFFIC FROM A YIELD LANE BELOW 35 MPH TRANS SLIPS BEFORE UPSHIFTING AND PUTS YOU IN ON COMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE JUST HESITATES WHICH COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR END ME.

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE FOR ME.IT IS SLOW TO PICK UP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING LIKE A STANDARD. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD SPEEDUP QUICKLY INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE ICON CAME ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY NUMBER THAT ACCIDENTALLY CAME ON WHEN SOMEONE MOVED THE GEARSHIFT BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DRIVE ALONE 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME THE ICON WAS OUT AND WOULD NEVER COME ON AGAIN. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE LEAVING IT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT BACK. THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND FIX IT WHEN IT CAME IN. I ASKED IF I SHOULD BE DRIVING IT UNTIL THEN AND THEY SAID YES IT WOULD NOT HURT ANYTHING. A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND HAD IT A WEEK. SAYING IT WAS THE O-RINGS AND SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION. I PICKED IT UP TODAY AND IT STILL WORRIES ME TO DRIVE IT. IT SOUNDS LOUDER AND MAKES NOISE WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND ON. IT SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS IN FAST GEAR AND NOT IDLING DOWN WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF AND ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AND I BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH DIDN'T BOUNCE BEFORE. THE TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY HIT EACH BUMP HARD. CHRYSLER RECALLED THE PROGRAMMING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THAT IS WHEN THE TROUBLE STARTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN A SHORT TIME LATER MY ABS LIGHT COME ONE. MY CAR LOST POWER AND EVEN THOUGH YOU PRESS GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE DECELERATES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO SUPER LOW GEAR BUT NOT SENDING ANY POWER TO TRANSMISSION WHICH ACTS LIKE IT IS TOTALLY SLIPPING (IT IS ELECTRONIC TOO)! I ALMOST GOT HIT 4 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. I SHUT IT DOWN. IT THEN RE-STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES AND RAN FINE FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CYCLE AGAIN BUT LUCKILY I WAS ON THE BACK STREETS AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE CONSTANT SQUEALING OF THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNING ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BRAKES ARE SO LOUD AND NOISY THAT PEOPLE CAN HEAR MY CAR COMING FROM FAR OFF, THEY SOUND LIKE I OWN AN OLD BEAT-UP VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND SHOULD NOT BE SO EMBARRASSINGLY LOUD EACH TIME I HIT THE BRAKES WHETHER IT'S AT A SLOW CREEP OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING. AT FIRST THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD COME ON AT THE TOP OF ANY HILL OR INCLINE, LIKE AT THE TOP OF A RAMP TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. NOW, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WILL TRY TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE ITSELF, OR THAT MY CAR WILL LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING FAST DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN ENGAGED MANUALLY BY ME EXCEPT WHEN I PARK AT LOCATIONS WHERE I USE THE E-BRAKE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY IF I HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, I BEG TO DIFFER. THE TIRE SENSOR FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR TIRE ALWAYS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AS WELL. IT WILL SAY THE TIRE IS LOW ABOUT ONCE A MONTH, AND IT'S ALWAYS ONLY THIS TIRE. I CHECK THE PRESSURE WITH A HAND GAUGE AND ALL IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE JUST HORRID!! I WOULD LOVE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY WITH IT BEING SO NEW I AM FAR FROM BEING ABLE TO DO SO. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT CHRYSLER!!
