POWER TRAIN
ON 10/25/2013, WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE FROM THE PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SURGED IN REVERSE AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM SURGING IN REVERSE, THIS IS WITHOUT ACCELERATION. STOPPED THE CAR, PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND THE SURGING IN REVERSE STOPPED. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE CAR SURGED AGAIN, AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING FORWARD. PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE STOP LIGHT TURNED GREEN, TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN, AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED AGAIN. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 10/28/2013 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM STUDIED. THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE HAD A TSB 18-029-13 THAT WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF INVOLVING POWER TRAIN ISSUES WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY UPDATED PCM TRANS FLASH AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOW BE RESOLVED. WILL WAIT AND SEE IF THIS IS THE CASE. THE VEHICLE HAS 5,157 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED 07/22/2013. *TR

. THERE ARE ABOUT 8 CARS AHEAD OF ME IN MY LANE AS WE WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN GREEN I NOTE THAT MY LANE HASN'T MOVED AND THE BUSES ARE STEADY CHUGGING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IN THE LEFT LANE I LOOK INTO MY REARVIEW MIRROR, I WAS THE LAST CAR IN LINE FOR THIS STOP AND I HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND ALL I COULD SEE WAS A BIG BLACK GRILL COMING TOWARD ME. I BRACED MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHOUTED PLEASE DON'T HIT ME' BEFORE I COULD FINISH THE SENTENCE BLAM!' FORTUNATELY THE CARS AHEAD OF ME WERE JUST STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD. MY HEAD SNAPPED SO HARD MY EARS WENT FULL. THE DASH MAT ON MY CAR CAME AT ME LIKE AN AIRBAG. MY PHONE IN THE FRONT CENTER CONSOLE FLEW FORWARD AND HIT THE SHIFT KNOB AND THE BACK POPPED OFF AND MUST HAVE SHAKEN THE BATTERY LOOSE. THE COFFEE IN MY LIDDED CUP SPEWED OUT THRU THE SMALL SIPPING HOLE ALL OVER THE CORNER OF MY LEATHER SEATS. I SAT STUNNED, TRYING TO ASSESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I KNEW THAT MY NECK AT THE BASE OF MY SKULL WAS BURNING, AS I REACHED TO PULL THE DASH MAT OFF OF ME I REALIZED MY RIGHT ARM HURT. I STILL HADN'T TAKEN MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED ...ALMOST $5000 WORTH OF REAR END DAMAGE, AND MEDICAL BILLS FOR WHIPLASH AND A BROKEN ELBOW! I AM BEING TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT RECALL (THIS RESTRAINT COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY WHIPLASH). LOSS OF WORK, AND MEDICAL COSTS, HAD TO HIRE AN ATTNY. AGAINST THE OTHER DRIVER, STILL TRYING TO RECOVER MY FINANCIAL LOSSES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
WHEN BACKING UP FROM A PARKING PLACE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE LATTER PART OF APRIL 2013, WE HEARD THIS LOUD SCREECHING NOISE COMING FROM WHAT WE THOUGHT TO BE THE FRONT WHEELS . I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE SERVICE PERSON ABOUT IT, HE THEN SAID ALL CARS HAVE BEEN DOING IT BECAUSE OF THE DUST STORMS IN THE AREA . THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER IT'S EMBARRASSING ANY MORE TO BACK UP ! WHO WOULD THINK SUCH A NICE AND BEAUTIFUL CAR WOULD BE EMITTING SUCH A TERRIBLE NOISE. EVEN MY ELDERLY DAD HAS NOTICED IT EVERY TIME I PICK HIM UP AND HE SAID WHAT A SHAME IT IS THAT THIS CAR MAKES THAT HORRIFIC SOUND . ON 10-22-13 I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AGAIN OUR CAR DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO START A CASE ABOUT IT AND I'D REPORT IT TO NHTSA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREES WITH ME AND STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 CARS AND THAT CHRYSLER CORP, REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS! DON"T BUY THIS CAR! *TR

ENGINE
MY CAR STALLED ON ME ABOUT 3 TIMES IN AUGUST. TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND ONCE WHILE PARKED. I TOOK IT CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER SO I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO CHRYSTAL AND WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. AFTER THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40MPH THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT LIT UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST WAVED BACK N FORTH. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I TOOK IT BACK TO CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT. THEY THEN CALLED ME SAYING THEY FOUND A LOOSE BATTERY TERMINAL AND TO SEE IF THAT HELPED. NO IT DIDN'T. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AGAIN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND THEN STOPPED BUT DID NOT STALL. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT MAD A NOISE BUT DID NOT MOVE. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. I WILL GOING BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR THE FOURTH TIME TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASE FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALE, MAY 3,2013. MILEAGE 30926. IMMEDIATELY I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LOUD CLICKING SOUND IN FRONT TIRES AND LOUD SQUEALING ON BACKUP. ENTERPRISE AGREED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE IDENTIFIED. THE INSPECTION TO TIRES AND BRAKES WAS DONE AND DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO REPLICATE THE NOISE (LOL) . 2ND TRIP TO DEALERSHIP. SAME COMPLAINT. ANSWER- COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE NOISE. "YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME. IF I CAN HEAR IT I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR IT. SO, MY SUGGESTION WAS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER / RADIO...YOU CANT MISS IT. WELL, THE FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS STATED THAT THEY WERE 1/8 INCH TO LARGE.BUT NOTHING DONE TO THE BRAKES. THERE WAS STILL PLENTY PADDING . 3RD TRIP TO DEALERSHIP. BRAKES ARE NOW SCREAMING AT ME! THE PADS WERE REPLACED WITH DIFFERENT MATERIAL. FROM CERAMIC TO METALLIC PADS.. TWO MONTHS HAVE GONE BY AND GUESS WHAT? THE NOISE IS BACK!!!!. IM NO GENIUS AND DEFINITELY NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IF YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING YOU WILL GET THE SAME RESULTS. HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT TAKE TO REALIZE THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG? THE QUESTION IS....WHAT ? I HAVE READ "SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM DIFFERENT OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SO I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG . HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT REQUIRE BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION TAKES PLACE AND A RECALL IS ISSUED BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE?. I REGRET NOT DOING THE RESEARCH ON THIS CAR BECAUSE I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW CRUISE CONTROL TO BE SET. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MANUALLY OPERATE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKING FUNCTION. IT TOOK SEVERAL BRAKING ATTEMPTS TO DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED AND REENTERED HIGHWAY THEN VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SEEM TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AND "ROARED" ALLOWING TACHOMETER TO REACH INTO HIGH 5,500+ RANGE. PULLED OVER AGAIN, SHUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, REENTERED HIGHWAY AND IT OPERATED SUFFICIENTLY TO GET TO DEALER. AFTER DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC, THEY DISCOVERED SPEED CONTROL SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. CAR NOW OPERATES PROPERLY SINCE SWITCH REPLACEMENT AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEM. ALSO, TRANSMISSION NOW SHIFTS AT PROPER LEVELS AND GAS MILEAGE HAS RETURNED TO ORIGINAL HIGHER LEVEL. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON. THEY CHECKED IT WHEN I GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON 9/13 BUT IT TURNED OFF THAT MORNING. IT CAME BACK ON THE MORNING OF 9/17 AND LATER THAT AFTERNOON WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A RESTAURANT THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT RIGHT BACK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN. IF I HAD BEEN CROSSING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER REGARDING THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD AND NOT GOING OVER 35MPH AT TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE THE 6 SPEED DOES NOT WORK EITHER. CHRYSLER RESET THE COMPUTER AND THIS WORKED AS A FIX FOR ROUGHLY 2 DAYS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ALSO JUMPS FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AND SEEMS TO BE JUMPING VERY HARD THROUGH THE GEARS, CHRYSLER HAS RESPONDED EVERY TIME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AGAIN THE CAR WAS JUMPING WHEN I WAS BRAKING. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKED HARD AND UNEXPECTEDLY THEREFORE I HAD TO AS WELL. MY CAR DID NOT STOP! ALTHOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD THE CAR JUMPED AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND MADE A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE BEFORE I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP BEFORE REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DID MAKE IT IN TO WORK HOWEVER, THE CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENTS AFTER THIS, NOW EVERY TIME I TRY TO STOP THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD. THIS CAR IS GOING TO GET ME, MY KIDS OR SOMEONE ELSE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND CHRYSLER HAS NO SENSE OF URGENCY TO SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT IS NOT ONLY MY CAR THAT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ADD IT TO THE LISTS OF RECALLS PLEASE!!!!! ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS DAILY THE CAR JERKS VERY HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, THIS LITERALLY CAUSES THE CAR TO AND FEELS LIKE IT MAY STALL OUT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ON AN UNLIT 2 LANE ROAD I EXPERIENCED ( THE FIRST OF SEVERAL INSTANCES) THE MOST DANGEROUS AUTOMOBILE LIGHTING CONDITIONS OF MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. TRUST ME THIS IS SCARY! THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE A SHUTTER SYSTEM FOR NORMAL AND BRIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTROL THAT IS SO BAD I FELT THE NEED TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO CONSIDER CONTINUING MY TRAVEL. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET TO DIM IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN A DARK TUNNEL WITH VISIBILITY OF ONLY THE IMMEDIATE 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WITH NO VISIBILITY AT ALL OF ANYTHING TO THE SIDE. NOTHING CAN BE SEEN ABOVE ABOUT 5 FEET OF THE ROAD. WHEN ONE ENCOUNTERS A TURN IN THE ROAD THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE BEYOND THE CURVE. I BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE SHUTTER SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE SEND SOMEONE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION OUT TO DRIVE ONE OF THESE AUTOMOBILES ON A DARK NIGHT ON A ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. I DARE THEM TO DO IT MORE THEN ONCE. THANK YOU. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LX Z ARE SO BAD THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT. THEIR IS ONLY ONE BLUB FOR HIGH AND LOW BEAM. ALL THE LIGHT DOES IS DROP A PIECE OF PLASTIC OVER HILF OF THE HEADLIGHT TO MAKE IT LOW BEAM, WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING BE ON 15 FEET AHEAD OF YOU, AND HIGH BEAM ISN'T ANY BETTER. I'VE TRYED TO GET HELP FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY KNOW IT'S THERE BUT NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ON LINE AND SEE WHERE ALOT OF CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS ARE SAYING THE SAME THING. I LIVE IN EAST TENN. AND ONE DAY I TOOK A TRIP OVER THE MOUNTAINS, I STARTED HOME AFTER DARK AND HAD TO REALLY TAILGATE A CAR AHEAD OF ME TO STAY IN THE ROAD, AND ROAD SIGNS WERE NOT SEEN AT ALL, I HOPE OTHER OWNERS OF CHRYSLER 200'S ARE DOING WHAT I DOING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE ALOT OF PEOPLE REALLY GET HURT. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE MY SAY.
