ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD BATTERY REPLACED SINCE THE BATTERY WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONLY 29582 MILES ON IT. SEEMED TO FIX THEN WHILE DRIVING 3 MILES LATER BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALER THE MEXT MORNING. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARDONE BY ONE UNTIL IT CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET DURING DAY. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIFTING INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I CAN ONLY ASSUME OT MAY BE THE ALTERNATOR SINCE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW NOW. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS PART OF CAMPAIGN #17V-435 BUT MY CAR IS A CHRYSLER 200 3.6 ENGINE 6 CYLINDER TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND THAT RECALL DOES NOT SHOW 200'S ON THE NOTICE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICIES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.. I BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND FAITHFULLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES.

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. IT’S PATHETIC AS FOR THE DATE AT THE BOTTOM THAT SAYS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN I’LL PUT IT LIKE THIS IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO GO ANYWHERE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PROPERLY FIXED.

MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED V6 WILL UP AND STALL WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AND BETWEEN TWO DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT LOCATE THE ISSUE. THE PCM AND FUEL PUMP ARE BRAND NEW AND IT STILL STALLING WITH THE LAST TIME BEING DECEMBER 2ND 2018 AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING HOME. HOPEFULLY THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIND OUT SOMETHING AS THEY ENDED UP PUTTING A CAR FLIGHT RECORDER ON MY CAR TO RECORD THE STALLING PROBLEM. BY THE WAY IT HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE OCTOBER 2016.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PARKING BRAKE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET GOING LESS THAN 15MPH. CHECK TURNS ON BUT NO CODES AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. BIGGEST ISSUE LATELY IS THAT CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEY FAB. BATTERIES HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NEITHER KEY FAB IS RECOGNIZED. CAR CAN BE STARTED, GET OUT AND GET BACK IN AND FAB IS JOT RECOGNIZED. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. THEN WHEN GO BACK, IT SUDDENLY WORKS.

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).

THE CAR HAS HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT DOES NOT HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, THEREFORE CANNOT SEE OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACED, $1500.00 LATER. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER IS THEREFORE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE HEATER CORES.

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.

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.
