ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BACK THE OFFICE FROM MY LUNCH BREAK, I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WITH MORE GAS. AT ABOUT 35MPH THE CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. I HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 20 MINS UNTIL MY CAR WOULD RESTART AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD UNTIL AFTER ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED YARDS OF DRIVING THE CAR STALLED AGAIN COMPLETELY. I WAS THEN FORCED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO AN AUTO SHOP.

2 COMPLAINTS/CONCERNS: 1) THIS AFFECTS THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 I PURCHASED USED WITH 62,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HOW THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PART OF A GROUP OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FACTORY. THIS ANTIFREEZE BREAKS DOWN AND WILL CLOG THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR, FROM CHRYSLER, IS TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LISTED PARTS AT A COST OF ABOUT $2500.00. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS WE SPEAK HAVING THESE REPAIRS MADE. 2) THIS ONE I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED, BUT I ALSO SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS WHERE THE PENTASTAR V6 EQUIPPED IN A NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MANY OF THESE CASES ARE WHEN THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE CENTERED AROUND A PCM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OF ANY KIND ON THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, AIR BAGS
I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012 FROM CHRYALER DODGE AND JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD PA. I BABE AROUND 96,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THIS WILL NOW BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN MY VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I KNOW, THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD LAST UP BETWEEN 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN A DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR. ALONG WITH SOME OF THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS I AM NOW READING ABOUT WITH MY MODEL, HAVING KIDS, I AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY HEALTH AND SAFTEY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ON YOUR END

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER AND DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS A KNOWN HEATER CORE ISSUE CAUSED BY FAULTY COOLANT CAUSING SLUDGE BUILD UP IN HEATER CORE. MECHANICS KNOW OF THIS, CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS. WITHOUT A FIX THE WINDOWS CAN STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN VISIBILITY, AND MAINTAIN HEAT LEVELS. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND/OR RADIATOR. WHICH CAN BE $1200-$1800, HERE IS A WEB LINK TO A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/200/2012/AC_HEATER/HEATER_DOESNT_WORK_PASSENGER_SIDE.SHTML

MY HORN STARTED HONKING ON IT OWN. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS OUTSIDE THE CAR AND HAD NOT TOUCHED IT, THE HORN STARTED HONKING. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STOPPED. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR THE HORN HONKS ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES LONG HONKS OTHER TIMES BRIEF. THE NEXT THING IT STARTED RAINING AND THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY THEY WOULD SWIPE HALFWAY AND STOP, ONLY WORKING WHEN ON HIGH. FINALLY I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AND IT WOULD STOP AFTER MOVING FOR ABOUT AN INCH. THE CAR STOPPED THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2 OR 3 MILES TO MY HOME AND PARK.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 CHRYSLER 200. IN DEC-2015 AT 46,000 MILES THE HEATER QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $1200. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS PASSED ITS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY CHRYSLER PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY HAD SOLD A BAD PRODUCT. 3 YEARS LATER (DEC-2018) AT 76,000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SAYING THE WHOLE COOLANT SYSTEM (HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, HOSES, THERMOSTATS AND ENGINE FLUSH) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3600. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SAYS COOLANT GOOD FOR 5 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. FIRST FAILURE AT 3 YEARS AND 46,000 MILES. SECOND FAILURE AT 3 YEARS AND 30,000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR HELP WITH REPAIRS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAD OIL IN THE INJECTORS. THEY CLEANED IT UP AND SENT ME ON MY WAY FOR $715. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NOW SOMETIMES IT'S NOT STARTING. SO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STARTER, AFTER THE WORK THEY RUN SOME TESTS AND SAY THAT I HAVE A BAD TIPM TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY WANT AROUND $1800 NOW FOR THIS REPAIR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LOYAL DODGE FAMILY CUSTOMERS(ON OUR 5TH VEHICLE). THE REVIEWS ONLINE SHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE HAVING YOUR CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. I DEFINITELY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS. THANKS IN ADVANCE

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DEFROST DOESN'T WORK. DEALERSHIP CALLS FOR REPLACING RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND OIL COOLER DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD-UP/CLOGGING IN COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE COOLANT USED BY CHRYSLER AND THE CHEMICALS/OILS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM. THIS IS 100% A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE DEALER & MANUFACTURER ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE. FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012/2013 CHRYSLER 200, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TYPE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN BECOME FOGGED VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS (DAMP WEATHER) AND WITHOUT WARNING, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD. STARTED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO.
