ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, WHEELS
THE ORIGINAL DATE IS SEPT. 2012. I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THIS INFO ABOVE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER, (FALLING DEAD) SINCE 2012. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING SLOW DUE TO BEING IN TRAFFIC. I AM STOPPED OR BARELY MOVING AND WHEN WE START MOVING I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WILL NOT GO BECAUSE IT HAS FALLEN DEAD. I HAVE TO PUT MY FLASHERS ON, PULL OVER IF POSSIBLE, PUT THE GEAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT IS GOOD TO GO. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THIS HAPPENS IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON MOST TIMES WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD WHEN WE HAVE EXTREME WEATHER CHANGES, THIS WILL HAPPEN AND TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE EVERY 3 WEEKS. THIS IS COSTING ME $5.00/TRIP FOR PRESSURE CHECKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I STARTED HAVING THESE PROBLEMS, THEY CHECKED THE CAR, DID A TEST DRIVE, KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND SAID NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON SATURDAY MORNING ON MARCH 5, 2015 ABOUT 7:30AM I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF I 285 AND CAMPBELLTON RD. AT THE CORNER OF CAMPBELLTON RD. AND BARGE RD. AND WAS TURNING ONTO BARGE RD. WHEN THE CAR JUST CUT OFF AND STOPPED. I AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER (EX-GA. STATE REP. MS. ROBERTA ABDUL-SALAAM) WAS ON OUR WAY TO PICK UP SOMEONE ELSE TO GO TO A CONFERENCE FOR THE DAY. WE ALMOST BOTH WENT OUT OF THE WIND SHIELD AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE ANOTHER TWO FEET. WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WE DECIDED TO GET OUT AND WAIT ON A BENCH FOR THE TOW TRUCK I CALLED THROUGH UCONNECT. [XXX] GOT PICKED UP AND I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER TRUCK ARRIVED WE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO LANDMARK. AFTER SECURING A LOAN-A-VEHICLE FOR THE DEALERSHIP I LEFT AROUND 2PM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY FOUND THAT IT HAD NO POWER AT WIRING FROM COIL F343 ASD CKT. TRACED BACK TO BLOWN F16 FUSE IN IPM. THERE ALSO WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 3/12/2015 AND PUT IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER (LANDMARK). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
1ST TIME: ON HIGHWAY AT 55MPH GOT AND ERROR ON DASH: SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEN PERFORMANCE SHIFTING NOT AVAILABLE 2ND TIME: AFTER JUST 4-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR HAD SAME ERRORS AS ABOVE. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, PRESSED GAS AND THERE WAS NO REVVING OF ENGINE (RPMS DID NOT MOVE). PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT SAID CAR IS NOT IN PARK, USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT." PUT BRAKE ON, THEN INTO D, THEN BRAKE OFF AND CAR WENT VERY SLOWLY AS IT WAS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. WENT ONTO HIGHWAY AND STILL STUCK IN 4TH FOR A FEW MILES (REVVING AT 4,000 RPMS AT ABOUT 60MPH). SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING ITSELF UP TO 5.5K WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION (LIKE CAR WAS NOT IN A GEAR). I PRESSED ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED, IT STAYED AT ABOUT 5.5K. I PUT CAR INTO N AND THE RPMS DROPPED TO ABOUT 1.5K, BUT CAR STILL NOT IN A GEAR SO IT WAS LOSING SPEED SO I MOVED TO BREAKDOWN LANE. PUT IT BACK INTO D AND IT AGAIN REVVED TO 5.5K, BUT STILL NO GEAR AND LOST SPEED. 3RD TIME: I WOULD TURN TO D AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE IT CLUNKED INTO GEAR. CAR THEN SHUDDERED A BIT AS I PULLED OUT AND THEN IT GAVE THE SAME ERRORS AS BEFORE: SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEN PERFORMANCE SHIFTING NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DASH. IT ALSO GOT STUCK IN 4TH GEAR AGAIN SO I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT ALSO REVVED THE ENGINE RANDOMLY. IN FACT, I ALMOST SMASHED INTO MY GARAGE BECAUSE AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY GARAGE THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD (IMAGINE IN A MANUAL CAR, REVVING THE ENGINE AND THEN RAPIDLY LETTING OUT ON THE CLUTCH) AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT IT FROM GOING INTO THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. IF THERE WERE PEOPLE WALKING IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT A CROSSWALK, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND NOT SAFE. JUST AS MUCH I COULD EASILY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR, THE WAY THIS CAR IS BEHAVING. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT. THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING (NO STALLING,SPUTTER, HESITATION OF THE SORT). I WAS STOPPED NOT ON THE HWY BUT A MAJOR DIVIDED FOUR LANE HWY. (GA 54, NEWMAN, GA AT THE INTERSECTION OF U. S. HWY I-85). AFTER SEVERAL RESTART ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 45,466 MILES ON IT WITH ALL MAINTENANCE UP TODATE BEING COMPLETED BY THE CHYSLER DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED, APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR 3-26-2015. WHO WANTS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE OF. JUST LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 OR 20 MINUTES OR MORE, I CAN HEAR AND FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEEL A CLUNKING NOISE/SOUND UNDER THE HOOD. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO IT. IT HAPPENS EITHER ON A STRAIGHT LINE OR BY TURNING. THE BANGING RATE WON'T INCREASE/DECREASE IF I SPEED UP/DOWN. IF I TURN ON THE AC BEFORE THE CLUNKING NOISE/SOUND STARTS, IT WILL COMMENCE TO MAKE THE NOISE/SOUND BEFORE THE 15 OR 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY (NO PUN INTENDED). IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS COMPLETELY LOOSE AND IS GOING TO FALL AT ANY MOMENT. MY SAFETY AND THOSE RIDING WITH ME ARE NOT SECURED IN THIS CAR. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND THERE IS NOT ONE SOLID SOLUTION FOR IT. COULD ANYONE HELP US AND MAKE CHRYSLER GET MORE SERIOUS WITH THIS PROBLEM/SOLUTION? REGARDS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AFTER ONLY OWNING MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 72 HOURS, AND DRIVING ABOUT 380 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO HAVE HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE. I NOTICED IT DOWNSHIFTING VERY HARD AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN AGAIN A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I GOT TO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT, MY CAR DOWNSHIFTED SO VIOLENTLY IT SLAMMED ME INTO MY SEAT BELT AND SCARED ME BADLY. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD SHIFTED IN PARK WHILE IT WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AWAY FORM THE LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT UP SHIFT, SO I HAD TO LIMP IT INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT AT 4K RPMS AT ABOUT 7 MPH. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR FINALLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO REVERSE, AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK ALLOWING ME TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHILE I WAS NOT REALLY INJURED BEHIND A SLIGHT SORENESS FROM THE SEAT BELT, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED INTO PARK, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL (APPROX 10-15 DEGREES) STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO PARK, PRESSED THE ENGINE START BUTTON TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT. AS I LIFTED MY WEIGHT OUT OF THE CAR, IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS, MY FOOT SLIPPED UNDER THE CAR BUT I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BREAKS WITH MY OTHER FOOT. THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING I DID WRONG, I PULLED THE CAR BACK UP AND REPEATED THE SAME STEPS AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN (THIS TIME WITH OUT MY FOOT). I WAS THEN THINKING, THIS IS A BRAND NEW 31K+ CAR - IT CANT BE DOING THIS SO I REPEATED A THIRD TIME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON PARK SELECTION ON MY RADIO AND TO BRING THE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY! ITS NOW IN THE DEALERS SHOP AS THEY ARE GETTING THE HEM AND HAW FROM CHRYSLER ON WHAT TO DO. I WANT THIS FIXED ASAP AS I AM LUCKY THE CAR DID NOT RUN OVER ME AND CRASH INTO THE CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FINE WHEN PURCHASED NEW 18MONTHS.AGO. BUT AFTER HAVING IT FOR 3MONTHS. THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG. FIRST INCIDENT WAS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL IT HAS FAILED TO SHUT OFF FOR ME 3X. APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES OF PRESSING THE OFF BUTTON IT SHUT OFF AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER SHIP & THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED BUT NO ISSUES FOUND. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP & NO ISSUES FOUND THE MECHANIC SAID CAR SEEMED FINE BUT TO RETURN IF PROBLEM RETURNED. THE PROBLEM STILL COMES AND GOES BUT I TRY TO IGNORE IT BECAUSE THE SHIFTING ISSUE DIDN'T SEEM ANY WORSE. BUT NOW RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS ANOTHER PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MY TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS OFF CHECKING IT ALMOST DAILY. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL EXISTS ALONG WITH IT PULLING BAD TO THE RIGHT, & I'M ABLE TO FEEL SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AS LOW AS 25MPH, REACHING SPEEDS 50+ THE SHAKING IS ONLY FELT AT TIMES, CONTINUES TO PULL & FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN A WEEK AGO TO THE TIRE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FEEL WHAT I WAS FEELING BUT COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I REQUESTED A ALIGNMENT BUT THEY ALSO SAID THAT WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. THE SHAKING AND PULLING IS NOW GETTING MUCH WORSE AND TODAY WE PICKED UP YET ANOTHER PROBLEM. WELL STOPPED/PARKED CAR IDLES HARD & FEELS AS IF ITS GONNA STALL OUT. A FRIEND OVERLOOKED MY CAR. HE CLIMBED UNDERNEATH AND HAD ME APPLY A SMALL ABOUT OF PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. SAID HE A WHISTLING/SPUTTER SOUND LIKE ITS HESITATING. HE FELT THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE RPMS WHERE AT 1 & PARKED. ONLY APPROX. 32,000MILES. *TR

DRIVING CAR AND PREPARING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED..NO WARNING. EVERYTHING JUST QUIT. THANKFULLY I WAS ALREADY COMING TO S STOP AND WAS AT A POINT WHERE PULLING OFF OF THE ROAD WAS AN OPTION. NOW TODAY THE CAR WILL NOT START. ONLY 58,000 AND DRIVEN ONLY LOCALLY.. RESULTS PENDING ON ISSUE. NO CODES FOUND YET. MECHANIC STATES THAT AT FIRST LOOK THE CAR APPEARED TO BE OUT OF GAS, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MIGHT BE A FUEL ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN RECALLS AROUND THE TIPM AND FUEL SENSORS AND PRIOR YEARS RECALLS FOR THE CAR STALLING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) OF VEHICLE GETS VERY LITTLE HEAT. THIS CAUSED THE ENTIRE CAR TO BE COLD. THE DEFROST DOES NOT MELT ICE ON WINDSHIELD. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS 11 MONTH OLD. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND CLEANED THE BLOCK. HE SAID THESE WERE FULL OF SLUDGE. TODAY, MARCH 2015) AT 34017 MILES, I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALER AFTER COMPLAINING OF THE SAME LACK OF HEAT AND THE SAME WAS REPORTED, REPLACED RADIATOR,HEATER CORE, OIL FILTER COOLER AND FLUSH COOLING SYSTEM. ALSO STATED ON THE REPAIR INVOICE "PERFORMED TEST AND REPAIR PER STAR CASE [XXX]". THIS IS APPARENTLY AN ACCOUNT TO CHARGE THE REPAIR BACK TO CHRYLSER. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE AT MANUFACTURING PLANT ADDED A SEALANT TO STOP LEAKS. HE SAID IT IS WELL KNOWN NOT TO USE THIS SEALANT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE, I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN PAID BY WARRANTY BUT SOME DAY IT WILL BE OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL NOT BE THE ONE PAYING FOR IT!!!! CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND MAKE A PERMANENT CORRECTION TO THIS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, SOUNDING LIKE GOING TO "LOW GEAR", AND SLOWING FAST. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT HELP AND AFTER A WHILE WENT INTO GEAR AGAIN BY ITSELF WITH A BANG. REALLY BAD SITUATION IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 19NOV14, THEY SAID THAT IT NEVER FAILED FOR THEM. SINCE THEN, THE CAR FAILED 6 TIMES, THE LAST ONE TODAY. THERE WERE TIMES THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO STOP ON SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 06FEB15, THEY DID A SOFTWARE FLASH FOR PCM (FLASH SOFTWARE 1), UPDATED CAR COMPUTER. ON 04MAR15 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME HAPPEN AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS CLOSE BEHIND. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS AT FASTER SPEED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR
