SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE BACKING INTO A DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCREECH/GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT STOP AS IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BACK INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY MAKE THIS SOUND AND FAIL TO STOP NORMALLY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE BRAKES ARE PERFORMING NORMALLY AND BESIDES THE SCREECH THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL STATE WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" INDICATOR CAME ON FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THEN THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON (P, N, D, S ). IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON AND STILL ALL SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IT STAYED IN THIS CONDITION SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PULLED THE LEAD OFF THE BATTERY TO RESET. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING COMPLETELY THERE WERE 2 OR 3 INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD BIGGER PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LEAVING FOR WORK IN THE AM, STARTED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200, REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MADE IT TO THE CORNER OF MY CUL DE SAC AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE WORDS "TRANS," AND "EMERGENCY PARK." THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS LOCKED UP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE HAD A HARD TIME WITH IT BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AND THE WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. I COULDN'T MOVE THIS CAR IF I WANTED TO. I COULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK, LOCK THE DOORS, USE FLASHERS, NOTHING... ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WAS OUT OF COMMISSION. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, SAID THEY "PERFORMED MANY SOFTWARE UPGRADES" AND "TEST DROVE IT EXTENSIVELY" AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. 20 MINUTES AFTER I PICKED IT UP, I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 3-LANE HIGHWAY, WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR'S POWER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ALSO. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I CAN REPLACE THE CAR OR THEY WILL BUY IT BACK. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME, BARELY LUCKY THE SECOND TIME, WHO KNOWS WHAT SITUATION I MIGHT BE IN IF I AGREE TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? I CANNOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY RISK, AND ALSO POSES ADDITIONAL RISKS TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AROUND IT. SINCE EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I WERE TO GET INTO A CRASH AS A RESULT OF IT, THE AIRBAGS LIKELY WOULD NOT DEPLOY, ADDING TO THE RISK OF INJURY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A CHRYSLER 200, I NO LONGER WANT THIS VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
ON APRIL 9, 2015, WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR, WE SUFFERED A COMPLETE COMPUTER SHUTDOWN AT 55 MPH JUST FOUR MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR ALMOST OFF THE ROAD BEFORE IT COASTED TO A STOP. DURING THIS SHUTDOWN I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR, USE THE BRAKES, USE THE GAS, OR PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER TUGGING THE SHIFTER NOB INTO PARK AND TRYING TO START THE CAR IT JUST MADE TERRIBLE CLICKING SOUNDS. THE SERVICE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AS THE ENGINE WAS MAKING THESE LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND WAS FORCED TO LEAVE IT WHERE IT SAT FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS FROM THE TIME NEEDED TO GET THE PART AND HAVING TO WAIT FOR A RIDE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK MY CAR UP. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHIFT AT ODD TIMES AND IT STILL LUNGED WHEN PUT INTO PARK AND LIGHTS WOULD OCCASIONALLY FLASH ON DASHBOARD. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ON JULY 23, 2015 AT 1:15PM MY CAR ONCE AGAIN SUFFERED A TOTAL SHUTDOWN IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS ONE. THIS SITUATION WAS FAR MORE FRIGHTENING DUE TO MY SPEED AND LOCATION OF THE SHUTDOWN. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-26 IN NORTH CAROLINA. IF NOT FOR THE ALERT DRIVERS BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC INJURIES IF NOT DEATH DUE TO LOSING ALL SPEED AND STEERING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL EFFECTING CERTAIN VIN#S IN THE MODEL YEAR 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LINE. THIS RECALL WAS FOR "CONTAMINATED, DISLODGED OR BROKEN PARKING PAWL OR PARK ROD (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V-090): ". WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN# I DO NOT SEE THAT MINE IS INCLUDED BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE UNTIL NOW, ON A WEEKLY BASIS I WILL PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT/DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD 1-3 FEET BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STOPS MOVING. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EITHER THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO INSPECT THIS CAR PROPERLY BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT OR THAT THAT THERE ARE MORE VIN#S THAT SHOULD BE EVALUATED FOR THE ISSUE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT THIS CAR DOES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE AND FELT A JOLT. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OBSERVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY. THE PINCH BOLT WAS INSTALLED BUT THE HEAD OF THE BALL JOINT NEVER PASSED COMPLETELY THROUGH. WHEN IT CAME APART, IT CAME APART WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT JERKED THE AXEL OUT AND CAUSED SOME MINOR BODY DAMAGE. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLIPPED OUT AND TURNED. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS RESTING ON THE FENDER. AS STATED ON THE REPAIR INVOICE...."LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM KNUCKLE, DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE FULLY INSTALLED. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT LOWER ARM, KNUCKLE, AXEL, SPLASH SHIELD. RELEARN POWER STEERING AND FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT". WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A WEEK LONG VACATION AND HAD TO SPEND IT IN A DEALERSHIP AND ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR AGENCY. VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WHEN WE HAD TO LEAVE AND COME HOME. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CARE WHO SEEMED WILLING TO WORK WITH US. I ADVISED THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. WE HAD ONLY HAD IT 2 WEEKS. THIS WAS HER FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. SHE IS A FULL TIME NURSING STUDENT AND WORKS A FULL TIME JOB. WE ASKED THAT CHRYSLER JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH ONE OF EQUAL VALUE AND WAS TOLD BY THE BUYBACK DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WERE REFUSING TO DO THAT AND THAT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING AT A CHRYSLER DEALER IN MYRTLE BEACH SC. IT HAS BEEN THERE OVER A MONTH. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST US. I HAVE SPOKEN TO AN ATTORNEY AND WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO SUE CHRYSLER CORP. AND THE DEALERSHIP. THIS VEHICLE PASSED 2 INSPECTIONS AT THE DEALER WITH FAULTY ASSEMBLEY. I HAVE COPIES OF ALL PHONE CONVERSATIONS, THE TIME AND NAME OF WHO I SPOKE WITH ALONG WITH A COPY OF THE INVOICE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 7/19/15 I WAS DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED CHRYSLER 200S WITH APPROXIMATELY 10300 MILES. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT 10MPH, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND COASTED TO A STOP WITH A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE FLASHING ON THE SCREEN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE, AND THE GEAR SELECTION WAS BLINKING IN DRIVE. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TCM MODULE AND RE-FLASHED THE SOFTWARE. ON 7/22/15 I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICKUP MY CAR. WHILE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS PULLING THE CAR AROUND, THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS STUCK IN REVERSE THIS TIME, UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE VALVE BODY AND PERFORMED A RE-LEARN. I PICKED THE CAR UP 7/23/15 AND WAS ASSURED EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/24/15 ON THE INTERSTATE (75MPH), THE CARS TRANSMISSION AGAIN FAILED, LEAVING ME WITH NO THROTTLE POWER ON THE INTERSTATE, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK. THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES AS THE FIRST INCIDENT WERE FLASHING ON THE CAR'S SCREEN. I COASTED THE CAR TO THE SITE OF THE INTERSTATE AND SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER 15 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS CAR IS GOING TO GET MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSON LUNGES AND DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING.THIS DOES NOT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT DOES OCCUR. ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDDLE.AFTER I LET UP ON THE PEDDLE AND PUSHED IT AGAIN THERE WAS A RESPONSE. THE DELAY WAS LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE CARS BLOWING THEIR HORNS BEHIND ME. I FEAR THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL ANYTIME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON APPROXIMATELY 7/14/15, UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CHRYSLER 200 HESITATED ON TAKE OFF. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWLY TRY ACCELERATING AGAIN, STILL WITH HESITATION, BUT FINALLY TAKING OFF. THERE WAS SLIGHT HESITATION AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING, THEN THE FUEL SEEMED TO CATCH UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY SINCE 7/14/15. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/23/15 AS IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THAT "NO CODES" SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO EFFECT THE ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM AND SPEED CONTROL. I WAS VERY CONCERNED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED UNTIL THIS PROBLEMS IS RESOLVED. I INTEND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011. WHEN I FIRST HIT A DEPRESSION IN THE ROADWAY IT FELT LIKE I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. I JUST BRUSHED IT ASIDE THINKING THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INSTANCE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE CAR, I WAS COMING BACK ON HIGHWAY 80 FROM TAHOE DOWN TO THE VALLEY. THE GROOVES IN THE ROAD HAD ME WHITE KNUCKLED DRIVING, AS I PRETTY MUCH FELT THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN A 65 MPH ZONE, I WAS DOING 40 IN THE SLOW LANE TO TRY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THAT CAR ON HIGHWAY 80 ANYMORE, AND WHEN I KNOW THERE ARE DEPRESSIONS AND SLIGHT HIGHWAY PAVEMENT ROUGHNESS DURING MY EVERY DAY COMMUTE, I AM SURE TO GRAB THE WHEEL TIGHTLY, AS I KNOW ALL THE AREAS ALONG MY COMMUTE THAT MAKES DRIVING OVER THOSE SPOTS SHAKY. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CHECK THIS VEHICLE OUT. IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SELL IT BECAUSE IT FEELS UNSAFE, BUT A DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE ME WHAT THE BLUE BOOK IS WORTH, AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT SELLING TO A PRIVATE PARTY DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. BY THE WAY, I FOUND OUT THE STRUTS HAVE BEEN LEAKING (UNDER 40K MILES!!!) AND THAT IS A COST OF 1,441.00. THIS CAR REALLY IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT FIND ANY LEMON LAWS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT DID FIND SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, I BELIEVE I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS. ANOTHER HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON MULTIPLE RANDOM TIMES. FIRST HAPPENED TO MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I ASSUMED HE MAYBE DID SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND. SINCE THEN, IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES IN TOWN IN 25MPH SPEED LIMITS ZONES.AROUND THE SAME TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND JUST HAD TO WAIT TILL THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE SHOP THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSUMED THAT THE NEW RECALL FIX WOULD HOPEFULLY AND MAYBE FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES, AND THREE OF THE TIMES HAPPENED IN THE SAME DAY. THE FIRST STALL OUT WAS IN TOWN AGAIN AND RIGHT AWAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SHOP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AGAIN AND THERE SOONEST AVAILABILITY WAS ABOUT A MONTH AWAY SO I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THAT. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THAT IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND 2 OF THOSE TIMES WERE WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WINDOW AND THIS TIME IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH AT THE STALLING TIMES THAT THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR STILL, THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT THEMSELVES FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM ONCE AND THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE SO THEY WERE FORCED TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE IS THE STALLING PROBLEM HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES& IN DIFFERENT SPEED ZONE AREAS. VERY SCARY THOUGHT TO HAVE WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, TRUCKS, SEMI'S, ETC. BEHIND YOU AND NOT KNOWING IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO STALL OR NOT THAT DAY OR VERY MUCH TO THAT MINUTE YOU ARE DRIVING.
