POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, ATTEMPTED TURN WAS MADE GOING APPROX. 10MPH AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. ONCE SHUT DOWN I AM ABLE TO RESTART BUT HAVING THIS ISSUE REMAIN IS FRUSTRATING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME NO CODE IS FOUND AND NOTHING IS ABLE TO BE DONE. HAVING THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE CHILDREN AND I FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND AFTER TAKING OFF THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WITH NO WARNING NO ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR UNTIL AFTER THIS HAPPENED. I TRIED TO START IT AND IT CRANKED BUT DIDN'T START ALL THE WAY, I HAD IT TOWED HOME AND NOW IT STARTS. I HAD A SIX MONTH OLD INFANT IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN THE CAR CAN JUST SHUT DOWN LIKE THAT. I FEEL THERE IS A DEFAULT IN THE ENGINE, WE PURCHASE THIS CAR A YEAR AGO. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES FROM WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES BEFORE SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT. IT WAS FINE FOR FOUR WEEKS AND THE NOISE IS BACK, THERE IS A NOISE IN THE BRAKES ONLY WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES LIGHTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AND THE THE WARRANTY IS UP. I FEEL IT'S A DEFECT. UPON MY LAST VISIT TO CHRYSLER THERE WAS A CUSTOMER THERE WHO ALSO HAS A 200 WITH THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM THEY WERE TRYING TO RESOLVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
AFTER PUTTING ON 4 NEW TIRES AND NEW FRONT BRAKES, WE NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN CLUNKING, AND FEELING VERY LOOSE. AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE COUNTER AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, (YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS), I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE THANKS TO YOUTUBE. APPARENTLY, I THERE ARE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AND, I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AND THE GIRL THAT I SPOKE WITH STATED THAT THE PART HAD BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, BUT NOT ON MY CAR. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE CAR IS FALLING A PART. YOU FEEL LIKE PARTS COULD FLY OFF AT ANY TIME. VERY DISAPPOINTING! AND, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET, TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC, AND MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT NO WARNING AND EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED INCLUDING BRAKES. I TOOK IT INTO CHRYSLER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE NO FAULT LIGHT WAS COMING ON. SO THEY TOOK THE NEXT STEP OF PUTTING A MODULE ON MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BUT LUCKY FOR ME IT DIDN'T BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WAS SCARY ENOUGH FOR ME. THEN WHEN I TOOK IT BACK IN THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT WHEN MY CAR DOES THAT JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. SO THREE WEEKS LATER MY CAR DID IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH, SO I TRIED THEIR SUGGESTION AND IT DID NOT WORK, FOR THE SECOND TIME EVERYTHING JUST QUIT WORKING IN MY CAR. SO I CALLED THEM AGAIN TALKED TO THE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER AND HE SAID IF THERE IS NO LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN MY CAR DOES THIS HE REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
