POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THIS CAR AND SNOW I COULD BARELY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN MICHIGAN FOR 24 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT HANDLED THIS POORLY IN THE SNOW. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR IT. SINCE THEN THE DEALER HAS SPLIT A SET OF SNOW TIRES WITH ME BUT IT ONLY PARTIALLY HELPS THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS TERRIFYING TO DRIVE IN ANY SNOW CONDITIONS REGARDLESS OF THE SNOW TIRES. IT MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE SNOW AND CAN BARELY BE KEPT ON THE ROAD. I HAVE A 2 WHEEL DR. TRUCK WITH NO WAIT IN IT AND I'D PREFER TO DRIVE THAT OVER THE CHRYSLER IN THE WINTER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN IN REVERSE THE BACK BRAKES SQUEAK. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL, I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN IT IS COLD OR HOT THE BRAKES WOULD MAKE THE LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND. THE NEXT TIME I WENT BACK WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX. I'M HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIME THAT THERE IS NO FIX. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTREMELY POOR ILLUMINATION FROM HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY LOW-BEAM! THE PROJECTOR LIGHTS HAVE A 'SHUTTER' THAT COVERS A PORTION OF THE BEAM TO CREATE LOW-BEAM. THIS CAUSES A DISTINCT, VISIBLE HORIZONTAL BLACK-OUT LINE ACROSS THE ILLUMINATION AND LEAVES LITTLE TO NO ILLUMINATION ON THE ROADWAY ESPECIALLY ON RURAL ROADS BEYOND CITY LIGHTING! WHEN CAR GOES DOWN-GRADE, THIS BLACKOUT LINE DIPS TO COVER THE ROADWAY COMPLETELY IN FRONT OF THE CAR CAUSING TOTAL DARKNESS MOMENTARILY. THIS AND NO CORNER LIGHTING IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL EVENTUALLY AT SOME POINT COST A LIFE! THERE ALSO IS NO SIDE OR CORNER ILLUMINATION IN LOW-BEAM NOR IN HIGH-BEAM. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE BULB IS SET TOO FAR BACK IN THE PROJECTION TUBE BLOCKING THE SIDE ILLUMINATION AND IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. DEALER HAS CHECKED THIS CONDITION AND PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM (A SERIOUS ONE) AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS FROM CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS ABOUT THIS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND REFIT THE HEADLIGHT UNITS WITH A SAFE, OPERATIONAL DESIGN! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY HEATER QUIT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. IT WILL NOT BLOW HOT AIR THROUGH DEFROST, VENTS OR FLOOR ON THAT SIDE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM I NEED NEW RADIATOR, RESERVOIR BOTTLE AND HEATER CORE DUE TO SLUDGE FROM FACTORY. ITS GOING TO BE SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX. CHRYSLER ADMITS TO THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2012 MODEL BUT NOT 2011. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND CHRYSLER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. *TR

SUSPENSION
LIVE IN MN. WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR ICY ROADS THE REAR END SWAYS BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH YOU FEEL LIKE THE CAR WILL SWAY SO FAR OUT OF CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST WINTER OWNED THE CAR I STARTED TO ACCELERATE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS SOME DRY TAR BUT ALSO NARROW STRIPS OF ICE HERE AND THERE BUT I COULD NOT EVEN GET MY SPEED UP 30 MPH WITHOUT THE BACK END OF THE CAR SWAYING SO HARD I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF CAUSING A WRECK. WE'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH OUR COMPLAINT BUT NO REMEDY FROM THEM. RIGHT NOW MY DAUGHTER AND HER FATHER ARE DRIVING THIS CAR FROM ILLINOIS (DEC 2013) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HIGHWAY IS WET AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT THE BACK END SWAYING HARD BACK AND FORTH. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SEE IF THEY CAN PROVIDE RESOLUTION. I'VE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE AND WISH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE DO NOT WANT TO OWN THIS ROAD HAZARD ANY LONGER. I DON'T WANT ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR SNOW ANYMORE. I'M TERRIFIED THIS VEHICLE WILL CAUSE THE DEATH OF SOMEONE!! *TR

STRUCTURE, SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
EXCESSIVE "FISH TAILING" IN MINIMAL SNOWY CONDITIONS, VERY UNSTABLE, ABSOLUTE DEATH TRAP. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO END UP SMASHING INTO A PASSING CAR OR TRUCK . DROVE FOR 30 MILES PER HOUR FOR 260 MILES WHILE THERE WASN'T MORE THAN ONE INCH ON SNOW ON THE GROUND BECAUSE THE REAR END OF THE CAR WAS SWING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TERRIFIED. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AUGUST 2013 THUS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD NO ISSUES DRIVING ON DRY GROUND BUT ONLY IN SNOW AND WET CONDITIONS. *TR

SUSPENSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN PURCHASED THIS CAR, NOTICED THAT IT PULLED SEVERLY TO THE LEFT, SPOKE TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR FRONT WHEEL DRIVES TO DO SO. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT ALWAYS HAVING TO BE ON ALERT WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IF CAR WAS GOING TO JERK OFF ROAD. THIS CAR HANDLES HORRIBLE! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL IF ANY CONTROL WAS LOST, THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL DUE TO THIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DENIED THAT I HAVE EVER BROUGHT THIS UP, BUT WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING AROUND 7000.00 MILE I THEN BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND NEW BRAKES! OK I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR... I TOLD THEM NO, HOW COULD THAT BE. WELL SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE THE CYLANDER REPLACED AND THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THE JERKING WITH A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WHICH BY THE WAY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. IT STILL IS HARD TO CONTROL AND COULD ONLY DO 30 MILE AN HR IN SNOW BEFORE IT WOULD LOOSE CONTROL. I HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS AND HAVE ADDRESSED CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST TELL ME ITS THE MAKE OF THE CAR AND THAT MY BRAKES SQUEALING ARE BECAUSE ASBESTOS IS NO LONGER IN BRAKES. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY AND HAVE DRIVEN MORE CARS THAN THIS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRENTY AND STATED THAT WAS ALL ANYONE COULD DO . I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND BECASUE I AM IN A LEASE I CAN NOT GET OUT OF THIS CAR. ONLY WHEN IT CRASHES WILL ANYONE MAYBE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SEEKING THE STATE ATTORNEY IN IDAHO TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE . *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY. THE RPMS RUN HIGH AND MANY TIMES DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5 GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER HAVE BEEN TOLD "THAT IS HOW THIS CAR DRIVES", "IT IS OK TO RED LINE YOUR CAR". AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THE DEALERSHIP GM FINALLY AGREED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THE "FLASHED" MY CAR. AFTER THAT I WAS GETTING 30 MPG HIGHWAY AND IT WAS SHIFTING WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS. LESS THEN 5,000 MILES LATER IT IS BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT IS FINE, YET I AM AVERAGING ON THE INTERSTATE 22 - 25 MPGS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE I AM RECEIVING. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
UNSAFE FOR WINTER DRIVING. 1ST. TIME DRIVEN ON PATCHY ICE ON STATE HIGHWAY CAR WAS ERRATIC. EVERY TIME THE CAR CROSSED AN IRREGULAR UNEVEN PATCH IN THE ROAD (I.E. PATCH OF ICE OR HARD PACK SNOW) CAR VEERS SUDDENLY, VIOLENTLY LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALER SUGGESTED TAKING SNOW TIRES OFF AND PUTTING MATCHED SET OF TIRES BACK ON THINKING THE MISMATCHED SET AFFECTED THE STABILITY CONTROL. RESULT WAS SAME WITH MATCHED TIRES. CHRYSLER 200 ONLINE FORUM SHOWS MANY OWNERS WITH SAME COMPLAINT. MAY BE DESIGN FLAW, REAR WHEEL BASE WIDER THAN FRONT WHEELS. REAR WHEELS WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN PATCHES OF ICE OR SNOW. IN MY 35 YEARS OF DRIVING IN NORTHERN MICH. IT'S THE WORST CAR I'VE DRIVEN IN THE WINTER. I JUST BOUGHT IT, AND NOW MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

THIS CHRYSLER 2012 200 STARTED TO HAVE BRAKE SQUEALING ISSUES AT ABOUT 7,000 MILES I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY JUST BEING BROKE IN SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR AT 200 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I THEN TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR THIS THAT CHRYSLER COULD NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND THAT THEY THE DEALERSHIP DENNIS DILLON AND CHRYSLER HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK INTO THE DEALER DENNIS DILLON AND WAS ADVISED THAT MY CYLANDER HEAD WAS GONE AND WOULD NEED REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD TO GO AHEAD AND DIVE MY CAR WHILE THE PARTS CAME IN. MY CAR WAS FIXED AND PICKED UP FROM DEALER THEN 1 DAY LATER MY CAR OVERHEATED ON INTERSTATE AND BROKE DOWN WAS THEN TOLD A CLAMP CAME OFF AND WAS THEN FIXED. SINCE THIS ISSUE MY CAR HAS NOT DRIVEN THE SAME. IT IS SLUGGISH . I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE LEMON LAW AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER . I DID SO AND WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO. MY BRAKES STILL SQEAL VERY LOUDLY AND CHRYLSER TOLD ME THAT ITS BECASUE THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND NO LONGER HAVE ASBESTOS' IN THEM. I THEN ADVISED THEM THAT I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER MODELS AND MAKES AND DID NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED TO BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. MY STEERING IS ALSO AN ISSUE IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THAT IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES ON IT. IT HAS PULLED SEVERLY TO THE LEFT. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND THIS CAR NEEDS TO FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND BE DEALT WITH. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WE TEST DROVE A DIFFERENT CAR THAN THE ONE WE TOOK DELIVERY ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. WE TOOK DELIVERY ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TROUBLE SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. WHEN STARTING FROM A SLOW ROLL OR A DEAD STOP WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WE RETURNED THIS CAR AND IT WAS SERVICED. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE. IT WAS IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLED. SECONDLY WHEN DRIVING ON A LESS THAN PERFECT ROAD THE DRIVER CONTINUALLY FEELS LIKE A LOSS OF CONTROL COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR THE SNOW HERE IN MICHIGAN. RECENTLY WE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR HAS TORQUE PULL AND IT'S NORMAL. I ASKED ABOUT THE WONDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE SERVICE TECH DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG. NOTE THE ROAD IT WAS DROVE ON IS LESS THAN FIVE OLD CONCRETE. THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES TWO HANDS ALL THE TIME. WE FEEL AS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CHRYSLER 2013 200 AND IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE LOOKED IN SEVERAL FORUMS AND HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREAT. *TR
