VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2012 CHRYSLER 200 HEATER ISSUE. VEHICLE WILL NOT WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE PREVENTING DEFOGGER TO REDUCE ICE OR SNOW FROM WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE SLUDGE FROM THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE THE HEATER STILL WILL NOT MAINTAIN HEAT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR OF ICE OR SNOW. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT HEATER CORE, RADIATOR AND COOLANT RESERVOIR WILL ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN READING VARIOUS FORMS ITS KNOWN THAT CHRYSLER USES SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL TO PLUG ANY PIN HOLES IN THE RADIATOR AND THIS PRODUCT IS CAUSING A SLUDGE IN THE SYSTEM AND CREATING THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER WILL NOT OR INDICATED AFTER CALLING, THEY WILL NOT PAY THE $1700 COST OF THE REPAIRS THAT WERE CREATED DURING MANUFACTURING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON A NEW YORK STATE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE DASH WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON/OFF, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO LOW GEAR, THE RADIO, AC AND OTHER ELECTRONICS TURNED OFF. THE CAR STALLED RIGHT THERE IN TRAFFIC. WE HAD TRIED SHIFTING GEARS, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO ANYTHING. WE DID MANAGE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A MINUTE, WE ATTEMPTED AND WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT IT STALLED OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, AND DRIVE IT TO A GARAGE LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY. IT DID STALL ON US AGAIN, BUT IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE GARAGE. THE MECHANIC AT THE GARAGE TESTED THE BATTERY, AND THE BATTERY WAS FINE ? WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GARAGE LUCKILY BECAUSE THE BATTERY CHARGE HAD THE POWER TO GET US THERE. HOWEVER, ONCE WE GOT THE CAR RUNNING, IDLING, AGAIN; A VOLT-METER SHOWED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING; BUT WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. THE NEW ALTERNATOR IS PART # RL801624AD. WE HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND CHRYSLER RECALL P60. THIS RECALL AFFECTS VEHICLES WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. WHILE MY 200 MODEL IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS THE SAME 3.6L ENGINE AND 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AS THE OTHER MODELS AFFECTED. IN READING THE DESCRIPTION(S) OF THE RECALL AND THE FAILURE I BELIEVE I EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SAME FAILURE HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THE OTHER DAY, AFTER I HAVE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR. I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE HOME, STARTED THE CAR, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND JUST AS I GOT ONTO THE ROAD (BUSY, CITY STREET) MY CAR STALLED WITH ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS ? FLASH OF THE WARNING INDICATORS, LOSS OF ALL POWER. *TR

TURN ON HEATER GET CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THEN STOPS. YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME CHRYSLER, WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS 36200 MILES AND IS A 2013. NO CAR SHOULD START HAVING THESE ISSUES AT THIS STAGE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CHRYSLER, BEFORE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 20-30 MINUTES) - WHEN MAKING TURNS OR TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS I START HEARING A KNOCKING / CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE SOUND MAKES ME VERY UNEASY AND IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COME APART. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM, AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS SOUND WHAT SO EVER IN ANY CAR! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND THAT THEIR ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CONTROLS KNOBS FOR THE RADIO VOLUME AND STATION SELECTION, THE FAN SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION SELECTION ARE ALL CLUSTERED AT THE FRONT OF THE CENTER BETWEEN THE SEATS CONSOLE. ALL ARE SIMILAR ROTARY KNOBS AND ARE CLOSE TOGETHER. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR SELECTOR WITH OUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE GEAR SELECTOR CAN BE MOVED FROM ?D? DRIVE TO ?N? NEUTRAL, TO ?R? REVERSE, TO ?P? PARK UN-RESTRICTED. EXAMPLE: AS YOU ARE DRIVING. YOU REACH DOWN TO CHANGE THE FAN SPEED. YOU MISTAKENLY CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. IT YOU ARE WATCHING TRAFFIC AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY SET TO SEE THE GEAR INDICATOR. YOU MAY BE CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHY YOUR CAR IS STOPPING IN TRAFFIC. THERE SHOULD BE A DETENT (LIKE ALL OTHER CARS I OWNED). DRIVING THEM YOU CAN CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK WHILE IN MOTION. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE FROM NEUTRAL TO REVERSE OR PARK WITH OUT HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUSE SET ON CRUSE. IT IS DONE SMOOTHLY. EXAMPLE: YOU ARE ON CRUSE CONTROL DRIVING AT SPEED 'X. YOU WANT TO CHANGE TO SPEED'. YOU PRESS THE + OR - BUTTON. WHEN YOU REACH THE DESIRED NEW SPEED. YOU RELEASE THE BUTTON. YOU ARE NOW AT YOUR NEW SPEED. CHRYSLER 200, YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A SET SPEED. YOU PRESS THE DESIRED SPEED DIRECTION. THE CAR DOES NOT CHANGE SPEED. LET SAY YOU HELD THE BUTTON FOR 10 SECOND. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DRASTICALLY CHANGES SPEED. EXAMPLE: I WAS TRAVELING THE EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MPH. I WAS NOW ABLE TO TRAVEL AT 70MPH. I PRESSED AND HELD THE '+' BUTTON. AFTER A SHORT BUT NOTICEABLE LENGTH OF TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY TO 85MPH BEFORE I HIT THE OFF BUTTON. I ASKED THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME TO HIT THE CHANGE BUTTON FOR ONLY ONE SECOND TO CHANGE 1MPH. IF I HOLD IT FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THE CAR WILL CHANGE SPEED BY 5MPH. IF I HOLD THE BUTTON FOR MORE THAT A FEW SECONDS. HE COULD TELL ME HOW FAR THE SPEED WILL CHANGE. IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF THAT PROBLEM. IT COULD BE A KILLER. THE CRUSE CONTROL SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 5MPH CHANGE AND NOT INFINITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON OCTOBER 28TH, 2014 I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WITH COMPLAINTS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE ALARM WAS PERFORMING WITH UNPREDICTABLE TENDENCIES AND WAS NOT DISARMING IN ORDER TO ENTER THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING A RENTAL FOR TWO WEEKS THAT CAME OUT OF MY POCKET THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO FIX IT.I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK KNOWING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED.THE RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PROGRESSED AND THE CAR IGNITION BEGAN HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES. ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED TO 'OFF ' THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD SAY 'KEY IN IGNITION' ALTHOUGH THE KEY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN AND HOLD THE KEY TO THE 'ON' POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER. ON DECEMBER 15TH, 2014 I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER AT ALL.I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE THE SOUNDS AS IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER AT LEAST 10 TIMES WHILE THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION. ON JANUARY 15TH, 2015 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID THAT HE WAS ADVISED BY MY CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO CALL AND TELL ME THAT I HAD TO COME AND PICK UP MY CAR ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), THE BATTERY, AND THE CLOCK THAT FLICKERS YET THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES REPEATED EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIPM. HE CONTINUED TO SAY THAT THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS STILL WITHIN THE FORMAL LEMON LAW RIGHTS PERIOD 'AND I AM ASKING CHRYSLER FOR APPROPRIATE ACTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1 GEAR TO THE OTHER THERE IS A NOISE AND A JERK. THE RPM ALSO GOES UP VERY HIGH WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AS IF IT IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. IT WON'T SHIFT UNTIL I STOP ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE 1ST TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND A FLASH WAS SENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK BACK A 2ND TIME AND TOLD THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS MODEL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CAN IMAGINE THE PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE LATER. THEN TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IS DISCOURAGING. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON I95 AT 60 MPH IN THE CENTER LANE, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. NEAR THE 216 ON RAMP TO I95N. ONLY BECAUSE I WAS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WAS I ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND SAFELY GET OVER AND OFF ON TO THE SOFT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND AVOID A FATAL ACCIDENT. CAR STILL SAID "RUN" AND I HAD TO GET OUT ON SHOULDER AND WALK FAR AWAY FROM CAR TO DISENGAGE THE KEY FOB AND THEN RETURN TO THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF AND LEAVING OFF FOR 5+ MIN, ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED. AFTER 4 DAYS AT DEALER, THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. ALL WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE 4 COILS TO FIRE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. IN MID AUGUST 2014 ON INTERSTATE 110. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF, AS IF IT HAD STALLED. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND IT JERKED WILDLY AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT EVENTUALLY STARTED ONLY TO SHUT OFF AGAIN ON INTERSTATE 105W. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN LANE 1 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE PANEL INSTRUCTED ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE DRIVER PANEL DISPLAYED ?SERVICE TRANSMISSION? AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE ?RELEARNED? AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION OF SEVERAL CORRUPTED CODES THAT WERE FIXED. TWO DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THEY DETERMINED THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS IS VERY ROUGH. FURTHERMORE THE GEAR SHIFTING SEEMS DELAYED, AS THE GEARS ARE OFTEN VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THE DRIVING SPEED. FINALLY I NOTICE THAT AS I BRAKE OR LOWER MY SPEED THE GEARS DO NOT ADJUSTING ACCORDINGLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS MOSTLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BRAKE TO A SPEED LOWER THAN ABOUT 25MPH. IN THESE INSTANCES, UNLESS I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DROP BELOW 3RD GEAR. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND RECEIVED A ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW, ABOUT 6,000 MILES LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SHIFTING ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE DID NOT DIE, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED, THE VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING, THE "D" ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING, AS WERE THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB. I ORIGINALLY ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, BUT IT HAD NO IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I MOVED TOWARD THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTARTED. IT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO THE DEALER ON THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATE. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE, BUT I HAVE SO FAR NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN TO THE DEALER DUE TO WORK CONSTRAINTS. *TR
