UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE HAS HARD SHIFTS AND LURCHES WHEN DRIVING, COMPLETE LOSS OF PROPULSION, THEN THE GAS KICKS BACK IN AND IT UNCOMFORTABLY LURCHES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING. VEHICLE LOSES PROPULSION AND SHUTS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE TURNING, STALLS, DASH SAYS SHIFT TO P TO START, SHOWS ONLY BATTERY SYMBOL, SHIFT KNOB D SYMBOL BLINKING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT MAKES A HORRIBLE DEAD BATTERY STARTING SOUND, SOMETIMES STARTS FIRST TRY, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY TIME ITS DRIVEN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 IN 2013. I 'VE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING HOT BECAUSE SOME MALFUNCTION PREVENTS THE COOLANT FROM CIRCULATING THROUGH THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD AND I'LL NEED A NEW ONE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD RUN HOT, I'D TOW IT IN AND MY MECHANIC WOULD FIX IT. AND WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO, THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. MY MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTICS, HE REBOOTED THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND HE GETS THE COOLANT FLOWING AGAIN BUT WITHIN WEEKS OR A MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS. I DON'T DRIVE FAR TO WORK APPROX. 10 MILES DAILY COMMUTE. I MAY TAKE A ROAD TRIP ON OCCASION BUT THERE IS NO UNUSUAL WEAR OR TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. IM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM AUG 2016 BUT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE OVER THE YEARS AND THE CAR IS JUST FOR YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2013. I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY FIXING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE CAR'S PROBLEM ALWAYS SEEMS RESOLVED UNTIL A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD I HAVE TO FIX IT AGAIN. I HAVEN'T EVEN PAID THE CAR OFF AND ITS KAPUT AND READY FOR THE GRAVEYARD? THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX. I NEED A NEW ENGINE NOW AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER $2000.00 TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT POWER BACK UP OR ALLOW TO START SOMETIMES WHEN I STOP. IT ALSO WILL NOT DETECT MY KEY FOBS WHILE IM TRYING TO START IT. ALSO, IT WILL JUMP VERY BADLY WHEN GOING SLOW(STREET) OR FAST(FREEWAY). THE CAR ALSO SMELLED LIKE FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY. IT ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS REVERSING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND MADE A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE 2 TIMES. THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO SAY THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. ONE OF MY CASE NUMBERS WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE IS 29448239 AND THE OTHER IS 29301258. BOTH WERE CLOSED ALTHOUGH I STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SUDDENLY START FLASHING SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE AIRBAGS, SERVICE BRAKES AND DURING THAT TIME THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT DISENGAGES FROM DRIVE AND ALTERNATES FROM PARK TO LOW WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AFTER TWO YEARS OF COMPLAINING AND BEING TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT STORING AN CODES FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY ELECTRONIC MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICE AND REPROGRAMMED 4 TIMES SINCE IT'S PURCHASE IN JUNE OF 2014 AND NOW THERE IS A NEW RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'M NOT SAFE IN THIS DEATH TRAP. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT MY SON AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THE BOTH HAD INJURIES. MY SON HAD NECK INJURY AND I FEEL THAT IT IS DUE TO THE HEADRESTS IN THE VEHICLE. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO. WE WERE AT A STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY 2 VEHICLES. THE HEADREST LITERALLY BLEW OPEN. PRIOR TO THIS THE WIPERS WOULD TURN ON, ANYTIME WE USED THE SIGNAL LIGHT.

WHEELS
MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 WAS LEAKING AIR FROM THE WHEEL. WHEN TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER DON MARSHAL CHRYSLER IN SOMERSET KY. THEY DISMOUNTED THE TIRE FROM THE WHEEL AND FOUND A STRESS CRACK IN THE WHEEL THAT WAS CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. THIS WAS ON THE FRONT TIRE AND IF NOT FOR THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD A WRECK. THE HEAD MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOT FROM ANY DAMAGE FROM HITTING ANYTHING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I EVEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR OF THE LADY HANDLING MY CLAIM AND SHE WAS ALSO NOT TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT THE METAL USED IN MAKING THIS WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WORKED AS A FIREFIGHTER FOR OVER 22 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN MANY WRECK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LOOK INTO THIS THAT IT COULD END UP CAUSING SEVERAL WRECKS AND WHICH COULD END UP CAUSING SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. I BOUGHT A NEW WHEEL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE OLD WHEEL WITH THE CRACK ON THE INSIDE. I WOULD SEND IT OFF TO HAVE IT TESTED FOR STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS IF I KNEW WHERE TO SEND IT TO. I THINK CHRYSLER OR THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE WHEELS HAS A DEFECTIVE METAL THAT COULD CAUSE A WRECK. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER AND MAKES CHRYSLER DOUBLE CHECK THEIR WHEELS. ALSO THEY NEED TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I KEPT A RECORD OF HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED AND WHAT FEW TIMES THEY RETURNED MY CALLS. WHEN THEY DID CALL BACK IT WAS ALWAYS AT THE CLOSE OF THEIR BUSINESS HOURS AND WOULD LEAVE A VOICE MAIL KNOWING I WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO RETURN THEIR CALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR STALLS WITHOUT MUCH WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN A SLIGHT JERK OF THE VEHICLE, THEN POWER CUTS OUT. POWER STEERING LOSS,, RADIO DISPLAY GOES OUT AND HAZARDS WON'T WORK, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I TURN THE KEY OFF, I CAN RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES. VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND HAVE THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT DOWN AND NOT BE ABLE TO AT LEAST SIGNAL OTHER DRIVERS WITH HAZARD FLASHERS. NOT A BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE, AS THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY JUST SHUTS DOWN. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP SINCE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THIS 2016 CHRYSLER 200 S 4 CYCLINDER IN JULY 2016 WITH ONLY 4900 MILES ON IT. CAR WAS A DEALER PROGRAM CAR STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. TODAY, 8/22/2016 AT 6157 MILES THE CAR STALLED WHILE MY TEENAGE SONS (3 OF THEM) WERE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS TO SCHOOL (THIS IS THE CAR THEY DRIVE EVERYDAY). THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING THREE SEPARATE TIMES LOSING ALL POWER WITH A MESSAGE IN THE DASH READING "SHIFT TO P". ONCE SHIFTED TO PARK THE CAR DID START BUT ONLY AFTER MAKING AN ODD NOISE WHILE PUSHING IN THE IGNITION BUTTON. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR LOSE POWER WHILE ON THE ROAD ESPECIALLY WITH NEW TEENAGE DRIVERS. BOUGHT THIS CAR IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY RATINGS BUT THIS CLEARLY IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF SAFE. I WILL TAKE TO DEALER IN THE MORNING TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY. LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE ALTHOUGH MOST SEEM TO BE WITH THE 2015 NOT 2016. NONETHELESS, HOW CAN ONE FEEL SAFE AGAIN PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN BEHIND THE WHEEL? NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THE DRIVETRAIN DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY EITHER PARTICULARLY WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN COMING TO COMPLETE STOP.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD JUST FINISHED REVERSING TO ADJUST MY PARALLEL PARKING IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I PLACED THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PUT THE CAR INTO "P". AFTER MY DAUGHTER GOT IN, I TOOK OFF THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PLACE MY CAR ON "D". IN ORDER FOR ME TO CHANGE GEARS I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE, AND AS I LET GO TO START DRIVING I FELT MY CAR DO A QUICK TWO "TUGS" AS I WAS GOING FORWARD AND INTO A DRIVE-WAY ON MY LEFT. WHEN I WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, I FELT IT START TO GO STIFF TO WHERE I HAD TO TURN IT HARD FOR IT TO MOVE. THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE I PRESSING THE GAS, COMING TO A HALT BEFORE MY FRONT WHEELS COULD GO ON THE DRIVE-WAY. I PRESSED THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE HARD WHERE I COULD NOT PRESS DOWN ON THEM AND I LET THEM GO. I PRESSED DOWN ON THEM AGAIN HOPING THEY WOULD WORK, BUT THEY WERE HARD. AT THAT POINT THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT TURNED OFF ON ME EVEN THOUGH THE SIGN ON MY IGNITION READ "RUN". I LOOK DOWN AND MY GEAR IS ON "D" BUT FLASHING ON AND OFF. AT THIS POINT I AM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL STREET (SIDEWAYS) BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I LOOK AT THE SCREEN IN MY DASHBOARD AND ITS FLASHING SOMETHING ABOUT "SHIFT" AND THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ON. I WAS PANICKING SO I DID NOT FULLY READ WHAT IT WAS FLASHING AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE GEAR TO "P" EVEN THOUGH I COULD NOT PRESS DOWN THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY STIFF. I TURNED OFF MY CAR, AND RESTARTED IT. AT THAT POINT MY CAR WORKED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I KNOW MY CAR IN A WEIRD WAY TURNED ITSELF OFF BECAUSE MY A/C WAS NOT BLOWING COOL AIR ANYMORE (WINDSHIELD WAS STARTING TO FOG BECAUSE OF THE RAIN) UNTIL I RESTARTED THE CAR. I WILL SAY THAT A FEW MONTHS PRIOR MY "PARKING BRAKE" TURNED ON ON ITS OWN, AND I HAD MISTAKENLY THOUGHT I HAD DONE IT EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT TOUCHED IT. I WAS ADJUSTING MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HAD JUST CHANGED FROM "R" TO "D".
