SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAD A GOOD 3-4 CAR LENGTHS IN BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE CARS IN FRONT OF MY CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP SO I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THE CAR INITIALLY SLOWED BUT NOT AT THE PACE I EXPECTED. I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TOTALING THE CAR. THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ROADS WERE DRY. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IN TIME WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE BRAKES WERE THE CAUSE. I HAD NOTICED THEM BEING DELAYED IN THE WEEKS PRIOR BUT DID NOT HEAR ANY SQUEAKING SO I ASSUMED THEY WERE FINE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER AND THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE." I COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT KNOB OUT OF "D," DESPITE TURNING IT LEFT AND RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF, AND EVENTUALLY RESTART AND PUT IN DRIVE. THIS SAME LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES, BEFORE IT STAYED IN DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC. FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I READ THERE WAS AN R24 RECALL FOR CHRYSLER 200'S BUILT BETWEEN JANUARY 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 2014, CITING LOSS OF POWER AND HAVING THE SAME DISPLAY THAT I OBSERVED ON THE DASH. MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL - WHICH I KNOW. HOWEVER, I TRIED TO REITERATE MY CONCERN OVER MY SAFETY OF HAVING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE R24 RECALL. I ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AS HAVING THAT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT. THE DEALER NEEDS TO TREAT IT AS A SEPARATE MECHANICAL FAILURE, DESPITE THIS PROBLEM BEING IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. I EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MAY FAMILY'S SAFETY, AND THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE WITH THE CONCERN THEY HAD WITH RECALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POWER FAILURE ISSUE. I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AS I DO NOT WANT MY POWER FAILURE PROBLEM (WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE R24 RECALL) TO BE RUN THROUGH THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT MY MECHANIC RAN IT THROUGH, TO NO AVAIL. AS WITH THE R24, I WANT THE DEALER TO FOCUS ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I SUSPECT THAT OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AWD DRIVE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME POWER FAILURE THAT I HAD. THANK YOU.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON FREEWAY. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONTINUED BRAKE PRESSURE BROUGHT ABOUT THE SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. THE UNWANTED ACCELERATION WAS MOMENTARY BUT FRIGHTENING AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO KNOWN FIX. MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE THESE OFF THE ROAD!!!

JIM SHORKEY NORTH HUNTINGDON CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS STATING THE CAR IS UNSAFE. I HAVE ONLY BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALERSHIP/

MY CAR STARTS RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE CAR DIES BUT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. AS I AM COMING TO A STOP IT JERKS FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE IS PRESSING IN THE THROTTLE. WHEN I REVERSE IT DIES AS WELL BUT STARTS UP. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND GUIDE IT FORWARD THE RPM GOES UP THEN DOWN AND I CAN KEEP IT AT AN IDLE. THIS IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND ITS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I DRIVE IT JERKS AS WELL. ALMOST LIKE IT IS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING.
