AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. DEALER SAYS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD COST $2,900, BUT THAT CHRYSLER ALSO CAN DO AND "OVERLAY" (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS) FOR $165 PER SEAT THAT MIGHT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY, BUT THE ONLY GUARANTEED FIX IS THE $2,900 OPTION. OBVIOUSLY THE $2,900 OPTION IS COST PROHIBITIVE SO AFTER WE WENT WITH THE $165 OPTION, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

I CAN BE DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL SHUT IT’S SELF OFF. WILL NOT START FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES. THIS HAPPEND LAST NIGHT AND WHEN IT DID I WAS REAR ENDED. WHEN IT DOES THIS THE BREAKS LOCK UP NO MATTER HOW HARD U PUSH ON THEM THEY WON’T BUDGE. ALSO IT WILL TRY TO START BUT THE ENGINE CRANKS AT A REALLY LOW SPEED BUT AFTER AWHILE TAKES OFF. ALSO IF YOU LET IT WARM UP IT RUNS JUS FINE SOMETIMES. HAD IT PUT ON MACHINE WAS TOLD IT WAS A MAP SENSOR REPLACED IT AND STILL GOT THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGED BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND CAR BATTERY AND STILL DOING THE SAME THING. SEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON HERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER REPLACING ALL THAT TOOK TO PUT BACK ON A MACHINE AND WAS TOLD I CAN’T HELP YOU CAUSE IT’S NOT THROWING ANY CODES WHAT DO I DO I GOT A CAR THAT I STILL OWE ALMOST 14,000 DOLLARS ON THAT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING. THE CAR DOES THIS WHEN IT’S BEING DRIVEN CAN LET SET FOR HOURS AND STAYS RUNNING BUT I CAN’T EVEN MAKE IT 3 BLOCKS WITHOUT IT DYING AND NOT STARTING BACK UP FOR AWHILE.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND NOT MOVE, AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON REPEATEDLY. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT TWICE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGE ME AND SWEAR IT'S FIXED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED AND I GET NO ONE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE SITUATION IS HORRIFYING AND UNSAFE. I DECIDE TO PLACE A REVIEW SEEING I'M GETTING NOWHERE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I JUST NEED THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

SUSPENSION
WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 5-10 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SUSPENSION BROKE FOLDING SIDEWAYS AND CAUSING THE CAR TO BE PULLER LEFT INTO A PARKED CAR WAITING TO MAKE A TURN. FORTUNATELY IT BROKE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR HAD JUST EXITED A 60 MPH HIGHWAY. THE BODY SHOP STATED THAT CHRYSLER MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE WEAKNESS SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART IT SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER BUILT (SEE PHOTO).

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RANDOMLY IF I HIT A BUMP MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. NOW FOR A 2015 200 LIMITED WHY AM I NEEDING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STARTER ASSEMBLY AND NOW TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIR SHUTTER GRILLE. THE VEHICLE HEADLAMPS ARE EXTREMELY POOR. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE SEE ON ALL HIGHWAYS, SIDE STREETS ETC. NOW THE TRACTION STABILIZERS LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS BACKING IN TO A PARKING SPACE AS WELL AS MY BRAKES JUST STARTED MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE OUT NO WHERE AS DRIVING ON THE STREET. THERE NO REASON WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A RECALL ON MULTIPLE VEHICLE ISSUES AS MOST PEOPLE ARE STATING. WHY ISN'T THERE A NUMBER I CAN CALL TO FILE A COMPLIANT WITH ALL THE VEHICLE ISSUES I'VE EXPERIENCED? THIS JUST CRAZY THEN TO HAVE TO COME OUTTA $1,300.00 FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS IS CRAZY! WHY DOES THIS VEHICLE STALL WHEN THE OIL IS LOW SHAMEFUL FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND AND BARELY START BACK! TIRES SUCKS OUTSIDE MIRRORS ALWAYS HAVE TO ADJUST THIS BRAND IS GARBAGE!! PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING.. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE VEHICLE ISSUES. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND IS STALLING THIS IS EMBARRASSING. ON TOP OF HAVING TO PAY A NOTE THAT RIDICULOUS. I WANT TO BE COMPENSATED IN THE AMOUNT OF THE VEHICLE REPAIRS.

GATOR CHRYSLER SERVICE MANAGER ROGER CALLED THIS DEALERSHIP AND AGREED TO GIVE ME A NEW TIRE WITH ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY AFTER I GOT A NAIL IN MY TIRES ON HIS LOT. THE INVOICES WILL SHOW THIS. THE OTHER TIRE THEY PATCHED AND ROGER AFTER GETTING ON PHONE WITH TIRE KINGDOM REQUESTED THIS COME BACK TO HIM. THESE ORIGINAL 4 TIRES, INCLUDING THE PATCHED ONES HAD MATCHING DOT NUMBERS. THE NEW ONE PAID FOR BY ROGER OF GATOR CHRYLSER MELBOURNE, FL HAD AN INMATCHED DOT NUMBER, BEING FROM A NEW BATCH, ALSO LESSER TREAD WEAR COMPARED TO OTHER 3. TIRE KINGDOM SINCE HAS SEEN MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES FOR TIRE PUNCTURES. I WAS TOLD THE CAR GUYS HERE ARE CONNECTED AND NOTHING IS FOR FREE. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE PAWNS FOLLOWING SOMEONES DIRECTIVE. THIS IS DISTURBING AS IT INVOLVES LOCAL ORGANIZED CRIME, AS EVEN THE POLICE COULD NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS ACTION LEGALLY. I SAVED TGE PATCHED TIRE AND ALL RECORDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF AT NIGHT, MY DASH BACKLIGHTING REMAINS ON 4 HOURS IF NOT INDEFINITELY. ALSO, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY GO FROM A NORMAL READING TO OVERHEATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IT WILL REMAIN OVERHEATING ONLY ON THE PANEL FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. THE CAR HAS NO OTHER INDICATIONS THAT IT IS OVERHEATING. THERE IS NO SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE. THE HEAT CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY. THERE IS NO VISIBLE STEAM OR OTHER INDICATION THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY DOES OVERHEAT. IT APPEARS TO BE A ELECTRICAL ANOMALY. LASTLY, THE TOP HALF OF MY REAR WINDOW DEFROST IS NO LONGER WORKING. MY CAR HAS 48000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE ITS WHOLE LIFE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR SHIFTS VERY HARD AND HAS MADE GRINDING NOISES. NOT ONLY THAT BUT EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT IT, IT SHIFTS LIKE A RUBBER BAND BEING PULLED BACK AND MAKES YOU LUNGE FORWARD. I BELIEVE I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES NOW AND WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY HAD A SERVICE REP RIDE WITH ME TO SEE WHAT I WAS FEELING. HE PERSONALLY SAID THAT IT WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND SO THEY KEPT IT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY INFORMED ME THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT RE-PROGRAMMED IT. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT SHIFTED WORSE THAN BEFORE. I THEN CALLED AND COMPLAINED AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL, ON MY WAY BACK HOME IT WAS CONSISTENTLY SHIFTING ROUGH. I FINALLY JUST PULLED OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN. AFTER DOING SO IT SHIFTED SMOOTHER BUT WORSE THAN IT DID BEFORE. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH SET ON CRUISE WHEN I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION AND IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE! I WAS GOING FROM A HIGHWAY TO A SPEED LIMIT CHANGE AND COULD NOT GET IT. LUCKILY I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AND SHIFTED IT INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS ABLE TO DISENGAGE IT AFTER THAT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. IT USED TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED TWICE BY A CHRYSLER REPAIR FACILITY. I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY IT'S JUST A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM. I'M SCARED BECAUSE I'VE SEEN AIRBAG RECALLS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. MY CAR ALSO SEEMS TO BE JERKING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT JERKS SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015. THE JERKING SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I CAN PROVIDE INFO THAT MY AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM WAS FIXED TWICE.

TAMARA RECALL I HAVE A 200S MODEL PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR MAYBE 20,000K MILES IN. WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN PARK THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL, THEN FORCES THE CAR TO BE SET IN PARK. AT THIS POINT THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED AND JUST SHOWS THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR ALSO STRUGGLES TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR ALMOST DAILY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SAME CHRYSLER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST TIME MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, THE SECOND TIME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE, 3-5 IT WAS AN UPDATE NOW I'M BACK TO THE MODULE ACTING UP. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT JUST CAME ON AGAIN YESTERDAY, I WAKE UP TODAY AND THE LIGHT IS GONE AND OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME THE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A CODE BEING PRESENT. I'VE LOST SO MANY DAYS OF WORK WITH THIS CAR IT'S RIDICULOUS, AND SINCE THE CAR HOLDS NO VALUE I'M STUCK WITH NEGATIVE EQUITY!!! PLEASE HELP

I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AXLE HARNESS BACK IIN 2016 WHEN I GOT THE CAR. BUT NOT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ABS SENSOR KEEPS GOING OUT AND IT COMES ON AND OFF AFTER REPLACING IT. I REPLACED IT THE CAR WAS FINE THEN BOOM ITS BACK ON. THE CAR SPEEDS UP WHEN I JUST BE GOING 10 MILES AN HOUR AND I HAVE TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO KEEP IT FROM GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH THIS ISSUE. AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT RECALL WAS FIXED BUT I DONT BELIEVE IT WAS. MY CAR KEEPS TRYING TO SPEED UP WITH ME JUST EVEN PULLING OFF FROM A PARKING SPOT. ITS A CHRYSLER 200 S 2015 . I THINK THIS CAR IS HORRIBLE AND I AM STUCK WITH THIS LEMON
