ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WENT TO A STORE WITH A HEAVILY SLOPED PARKING LOT. APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 DEGREES. PARKED CAR AND WENT IN SIDE, RETURNED TO THE CAR, STARTED, AND PLACED CAR IN REVERSE, LOOKED BEHIND ME FOR PEDESTRIANS AND NOTICE SOME PEOPLE DOWN A LITTLE WAYS.. PROCEEDED TO CAREFULLY PULL OUT OF THE SLOPPING PARKING SPACE IN REVERSE. APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFTED CAR INTO DRIVE. REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO APPLY FOOT TO GAS PEDAL WITH A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL DUE TO THE SLOP, TO KEEP CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS.. THE CAR KEEP ROLLING IN REVERSE DUE TO THE DECLINING SLOP OF THE PARKING LOT. CAR DID NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO HIGH RPMS AND IF NOT FOR A FAST REACTION FROM ME RETURNING MY FOOT TO BRAKE AFTER REALIZING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I COULD OF EASILY RAN INTO THE PEOPLE THAT I NOTICED EARLIER. NOT GOOD! WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO STOP THE CAR, THE CAR WENT INTO GEAR AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. THE PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT WERE ALSO STARTLED. THIS IS THE PRIMARY CAR FOR MY WIFE AND I ASKED HER IF THE CAR HAS NOT GONE INTO GEAR BEFORE. TO MY ASTONISHMENT SHE SAID ONCE. THIS CAR NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE AWAITING THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO PICK IT UP 27,997 MILES. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM COULD EASILY DO HARMFUL BODILY INJURY TO A PEDESTRIANS OR MY WIFE. .

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I RECEIVED THIS CAR AS A RENTAL. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE ADJUSTED UP TO KEEP IT FROM BECOMING A FORWARD BLIND SPOT. EVEN WITH THE SEAT ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE MIRROR COMPLETELY "HIDES" OTHER VEHICLES AT INTERSECTIONS. ALTHOUGH A "LOW TECH" PROBLEM, IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS. THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD AND THE TACHOMETER JUMPS OVER 6 RPM. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH NO CLEAR IDEA FROM THE TECHNICIANS AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT SPENT TWO WEEKS AND THEIR TECHS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT A "BLACK BOX" RECORDING DEVICE BE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEVICE IS CUMBERSOME AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO DRIVERS WHO MUST TRY TO PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE DEVICE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN IT WAS GIVEN BACK. ON THE THIRD TRIP TO THE DEALER, THE BLACK BOX INFO WAS RELAYED TO CHRYSLER AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITING THERE AFTER A WEEK AND CHRYSLER TECHS HAVE ISSUED A DO NOT LET THE CUSTOMER BACK IN THE VEHICLE ORDER. BASICALLY, CHRYSLER HAS SEIZED MY VEHICLE, TO WHICH I AM STILL PAYING FOR, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS THEREFORE CANNOT FIX IT. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH CHRYSLER CORP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED CAR APRIL 2016, INCIDENT ON OR ABOUT 12 JULY 2016. FOLLOWING IS HAND DELIVERED LETTER OF 22 JULY 2016 TO DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER AND SALES MANAGER REGARDING THE PROBLEM: "ON A RECENT ROAD TRIP, I LEARNED THAT GOING DOWNHILL ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65, THE VEHICLE'S TACHOMETER PEGS OUT AND THE SPEED INCREASES TO MORE THAN 85 MPH. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY COLLIDED WITH THEM, AT AT THAT SPEED WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN KILLED. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE REFLECTS TO HIT THE BRAKE AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED, THE ENGINE REVVED TO A POINT I FEARED IT WOULD BLOW UP. AFTER SEVERAL VERY LONG SECONDS THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REMAINED IN THE CAR UNTIL I STOPPED SHAKING AND MY HEART STOPPED RACING." AFTER ONE WEEK HAVING NO RESPONSE I AGAIN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. FINALLY I GOT THE SALES MANAGER TO READ THE LETTER. HE SAID HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, SEE THE SERVICE MANAGER, MORE OR LESS THE SAME. I THEN EMAILED CHRYSLER CORP VIA THEIR WEBSITE AND PROVIDED THE INFORMATION. RESPONSE WAS CORP REQUIRED THEIR TECH TO WITNESS THE DEALER'S ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS. BACK TO SVC MGR WHO CONTACTED THE TECH AND ARRANGED FOR TEST THE FOLLOWING WEEK. CAR IN MONDAY, READY FRIDAY. CORP TECH'S DETERMINATION WAS THE 9 SPEED HAD NO BRAKING FEATURE AND THE BEST ADVISE WAS TO USE THE BRAKE. BACK TO CORP WITH: "IT IS SO DISAPPOINTING AND REPREHENSIBLE TO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER IS ENDANGERING BUYERS OF THEIR PRODUCT BY KNOWINGLY DENYING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY AND DEADLY DESIGN. AT THE OUTSET MY DEMAND WAS EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM AS I DO LIKE THE CAR, OR A TOTAL REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. I RECEIVED NEITHER. MY ONLY RECOURSE IS A LAWSUIT, THAT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN MY MONEY.DO NOT BUY!

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".

SERVICE BRAKES
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AS THE FOOT BRAKE GAVE OUT. HE HAD TO STEP AS HARD AS HE COULD WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. AT THE SAME TIME THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED ITSELF AND MADE DRIVING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. YOU COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, THE BRAKES STILL WON'T WORK, BUT THE PARK BREAK WAS BACK TO NORMAL. IF YOU GET THE CAR TO A HALT AND PUT IT IN PARK, IT KEEPS ON DRIVING, AS SOON AS YOU DARE TO SLIGHTLY LET GO OF THE BRAKE. YOUR ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS CAR IS TO ENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE AND HOPE THAT IT GRABS. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE, CHRYSLER IS CONTACTED. THIS IS FOR SURE SCARY, GIVEN THAT MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AS WELL.

WHEELS
WE HAD ONLY HAD OUR 2016 CHRYSLER 200S FOR AROUND 3 WEEKS. WHILE HEADING HOME TRAVELING EAST ON STATE RT 149 FROM WEST FRANKFORT, IL., WE HEARD A LOUD THUMP LIKE SOMETHING JUST HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR CAR. WE PULLED THE CAR OFF AT THE CHURCH JUST 1 BLOCK DOWN THE ROAD, GOT OUT AND LOOKED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, NO ANIMALS HAD HIT THE CAR, NO OBJECTS WAS LAYING IN THE ROAD, AND NO ONE WAS MOWING, BUT WE HAD A STRAIGHT GASH WITH A DENT IN THE SIDE OF OUR REAR PASSENGER DOOR. IT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO DUSK AND I THOUGHT SOMETHING CAME OFF THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING I FINALLY NOTICED THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL HAD THE LUG NUT MISSING AND THE STUD WAS GONE. THE RIMS CLEAR COAT IS SCRATCHED WHERE IT FELL OFF AND SLUNG BACK AND HIT THE SIDE OF OUR CAR. I CALLED OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND COME TO FIND OUT IT HAD BOLTS NOT STUDS. I HAD THEM ORDER ONE FORM ME. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT THE CORRECT TORQUE WAS FOR THE BOLTS, INCASE ANY OTHERS WERE LOOSE. HE SAID,"103 FT/LBS". I CHECK THE TORQUE THE REST OF THE LUG BOLTS AND COME TO FIND EVERY FRONT ONE WAS LOOSE. 1 MORE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND 2 ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TOOK NEARLY A 1/4 TURN TO REACH TORQUE. THE REST OF THE FRONT BOLTS WERE AROUND 1/8 TURN FROM BEING TORQUED. I ONLY FOUND 1 ON THE REAR THAT WASN'T CORRECTLY TORQUED. I HAVEN'T SEEN BOLT LUGS ON AN AMERICAN CAR IN ALL MY LIFE. I HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THE NEW BOLT AND HAD HIM DOUBLE CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE OTHERS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND DROVE IT DOWN FOR HIM TO GET PICTURES AS WELL OF THE DAMAGE. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER AS WELL ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TODAY CHRYSLER SUPPORT SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX THE DAMAGE, BECAUSE ITS NOT A WARRANTY COVERED ISSUE.OUR LAST 15 MODEL 200 WAS BOUGHT BACK BY CHRYSLER, BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND COULD NOT MOVE!! THE CAR REFUSED TO SHIFT! I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE AND IT WAS! I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED, PEOPLE HAD TO DRIVE AROUND ME. IT TOOK AROUND 20 TO 30 SECONDS FOR MY VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND MOVE FORWARD. WHILE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD IT REVVED TO AROUND 5,000 RPM. I HAVE A CHILD WITH ME. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE REAR ENDED US? I KNOW CHRYSLER HAS NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS TO THESE VEHICLES AND I AM SORRY BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD WITH PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!

THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE EASILY AND ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED INTO REVERSE PARK OR NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND WJRHOUT NEEDING TO APPLY BRAKE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CELLPHONE SLID OUT OF THE CELLPHONE MOUNT AND HIT THE KNOB AND THREW MY INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH 60 MPH I WAS FAST ENOUGH TO MOVE IT BACK OVER TO DRIVE BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THIS TYPE OF THING HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN REVERSE WHILE DRIVING THINKING I WAS MOVING THE FAN KNOB DOWN AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. ALSO MY FRIENDS SON PUT MY CAR INTO PARK WHILE ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE AS WELL. YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO MOVE THE GEARS SO EASILY OR IN REVERSE OR PARK WITHOUT BRAKE OR PUSHING THE KNOB DOWN OR SOMETHING TERRIBLY UNSAFE!! ALL OF THE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING ALSO THERE GAVE BEEN TIMES I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS IN PARK BUT WAS NOT WAS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE VERY DANGEROUS

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY NEW LED HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THIS IS ON NEW CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I NOTICE THIS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I OBSERVED ONE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AS THE SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED. THIS FACT MAKES ME THINK IT IS A GROUND PROBLEM BUT I AM NOT SURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
