CHRYSLER 200C AWD. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT SUDDENLY MY DASH LIT UP WITH THE RED "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE THEN "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" AND "SERVICE PARK BRAKE". I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT AT ALL, THE SELECTOR WOULD STAY IN "P" OR THE LIGHT ON THE SELECTOR WOULD GO FROM "P" TO "S" DIRECTLY BYPASSING "N" AND "D" WITH JUST ONE TWIST BUT THE CAR WOULD STAY IN PARK. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND STARTING TO WAIT AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A TOW I DECIDED TO TRY A ELECTRONIC "REBOOT" BY DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL IN THE BATTERY. AFTER LEAVING IT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN RECONNECTING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "D" AND GET MOVING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ILLUMINATED AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSAXLE PARK ROD LATE APRIL 2015. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHERE INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL AFTER MAY 1, 2015 NEEDED A SPECIFIC TOOL THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED. THEY DID INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AFTER MAY 1ST. ON MAY 7, 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN SHE SAID THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AND WARNING BELLS STARTED GOING OFF. THE WARNING SAID "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" THEN WOULD FLASH TO "SHIFT TO PARK AND ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE". THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM. THIS MESSAGE CONTINUED OVER AND OVER. SHE HAD TO GO OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE SHE COULD GET TO THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE SPOT. SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT HAD TO DODGE TRAFFIC. ONCE SHE WAS STOPPED THE SHIFTER DIAL WAS STILL LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE, SHE MOVED IT TO PARK BUT STILL WAS LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SHE PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SHIFTER DIAL NOW SHOWED TO BE IN PARK, SHE TRIED TO SHIFT TO ALL THE OTHER GEARS, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE DIAL STILL SHOWED IT WAS IN PARK. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. 2 DAYS LATER INFORMED THAT TRANSAXLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR/RECALL , IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY A WEEK TO COMPLETE. DISAPPOINTED AND VERY CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY .

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
ON MAY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CAR STALLED AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTION. I IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON MY HAZARDS AS CARS SWERVED LEFT AND RIGHT TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO ME. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. AFTER SITTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. AS I FINALLY STARTED TO GO, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE QUICKLY AND THEN SLOW DOWN. WITHIN 10 MINUTES, IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS 2 MORE TIMES. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT FOR ONE DAY. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MAY 6, 2015, IT AGAIN STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH AS I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT AUTHORIZED DEALER. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY MAY 8TH THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED AND READY TO GO. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE HOME. BEFORE ARRIVING TO MY HOME, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND AGAIN I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. SERVICE WAS CALLED ONCE MORE AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SHOP IT WENT TO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON MAY 3. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2011 CHRYSLER 200 AND WITHIN A WEEKS TIME NOTICED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS A SMALL OR LARGE BUMP EITHER. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I ALMOST TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. I CLIMBED UNDER THE CAR AND REALIZED ON THE REAR PASSENGER RIGHT THERE WAS A LITTLE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE STRUT ITSELF SO I KNOW THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I SLID OVER AND LOOKED AT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHICH HAD NO FLUID LEAKAGE. AFTER OWNING THE CAR A MONTH NOW, IM REALIZING THAT BOTH SIDES ARE DOING IT AND ONLY THE ONE STRUT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING. THE CAR IS TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD CARS THAT NEEDED STRUTS REPLACED BEFORE AND NEVER HAVE I FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS CAR AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. SO WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IF ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEM IN THE CAR. I NEED TO GET IT FIXED BUT ITS TOUGH TO DO WHEN YOU JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ARE IN NEED OF GETTING YOUR PLATES FOR THE CAR($1700). AND TO FIX THIS ISSUE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL RUN ME $600 AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE CERTAIN PARTS IF THEY ARE HORRIBLY BAD AS WELL. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A STRUT ISSUE BUT WHEN I DO GET IT FIXED I WILL REPORT MY COMPLETE FINDINGS OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE SUSPENSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH, THE CAR SHUT OFF AS WE COASTED TO A STOP. CAR WAS INOPERABLE. WE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ALL ELECTRICAL FEATURES, INCLUDING THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB WERE INOPERABLE. WE GAVE IT TIME AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE A NUMBER OF TIMES. WE FINALLY SUCCEEDED HALF AN HOUR LATER. ALL APPEARED TO BE WELL. NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE, BUT IT IS A CONCERN OF OURS. THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND IT BEHOOVES ME THAT THERE IS NO LAW THAT MAKES THESE CAR MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING BACK THEIR VEHICLES. MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE, BELIEVING IT WOULD BE THE SAFER THING TO DO. I HAVE A TEENAGER, AN INFANT AND ANOTHER BABY ON THE WAY. IT IS SO SCARY TO HAVE BABIES IN A VEHICLE YOU NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN, KNOWING THEIR FRAILTIES IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. *TR
