ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY CHRYSLER 200 STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD AND AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN FEEL IT JERKING. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT IS LOCAL TO ME TOOK IT IN THEY ONLY DROVE AT 3 MILES AND DECIDED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I PAID $132 FOR A LABOR CHARGE FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT WITH SPARK PLUG ISSUES. PAID $160 FOR SPARK PLUGS AND LABOR JUST TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY STILL AFTER A WEEK LATER HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. JUST WONDERING WHAT KIND OF TECHNICIANS ACTUALLY WORK FOR CHRYSLER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE IS REPORTING P0128 AND P2181 ERROR CODES. WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS RUNNING REALLY LOUD. WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE WARNING GOES AWAY AND IT SOUNDS NORMAL AGAIN. ALSO, HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF OUT OF NO WHERE AND WONT TURN ON FOR A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE ALSO SEEMS TO ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT.

A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION; TRANSMISSION WILL EXPERIENCE DELAYED SHIFTS (OR DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR ANY OTHER GEAR THEN VEHICLE WILL CLUNK INTO GEAR), HARSH SHIFTING, RANDOM DOWN SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR, SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING WHERE THEY LOOKED OVER, THEY NOTICED THE ISSUES AND RAN SOFTWARE UPDATES ON MY SHIFTER AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED SO THE TECH CONTACTED FCA AND THEY INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT "IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO THAT." THIS IS NOT THE NORM OF ANY TRANSMISSION.

THE CONNECTOR FOR THE RADIATOR HOSE FROM THE FLUID RESERVOIR TO THE RADIATOR BROKE, LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID ON THE GROUND. THE CONNECTOR WAS MADE OF PLASTIC. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, THE SYSTEM FLUSHED, PRESSURE CHECKED, AND REFILLED WITH FLUID. COST US $546 IN PARTS AND LABOR.

THIS IS [XXX]. HOW CAN A VEHICLE 2 YEARS OLD HAVE SO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES TO EVEN COUNT ON ONE HAND? I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH HUNDREDS OF OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS VERY IDENTICAL VEHICLE DISPLAY THE EXACT SAME ISSUES MY CAR EXEMPLIFIES. ARE YOU GUYS JUST WAITING FOR A TRAGIC DEATH TO OCCUR? IF SO, HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS REFUND US AND DRIVE THE VEHICLES AROUND FOR A WHILE UNTIL THAT DEATH OCCUR. THE LOWLIFES AT CHRYSLER NEED TO BE SUED AND CHARGED FOR NEGLECT.

MY CAR HAS ALWAYS ACTED LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TAKING OFF. I'M ON MY THIRD BATTERY SINCE PURCHASE. THE LAST BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONE MONTH AGO. NOW LAST WEEK A CAR CUT ME OFF AT A LIGHT. WHEN I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES MY CAR QUIT MAKING ME MISS THE LIGHT! WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT REALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS AND THEN IT JUST STARTS! THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY I WAS COMING TO A RED LIGHT I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO GO BUT MY CAR QUIT AGAIN AT A GREEN LIGHT ! I COULD'VE BEEN REAR ENDED! AGAIN I PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY STARTING NOISES BUT EVENTUALLY STARTS! WHEN DRIVING IT'S FINE BUT WHEN STOPPING AND TAKING OFF IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT AND NOW IT'S QUIT ON ME TWICE IN ONE WEEK!

A/C DIED IN 2018; I DECIDED TO WAIT TO REPAIR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEEDED FREON. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. SINCE THE CAR IS COMPUTERIZED I HAVE TO PAY FOR UPDATES AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON DUE TO TWO BAD HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT. AN UPDATE WAS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED OF THE CAR JUMPING, THE CAR STILLS JUMPS. THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY DETERIORATING AT MY EXPENSE. CHRYSLER HAS STATED THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BACK THE OFFICE FROM MY LUNCH BREAK, I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WITH MORE GAS. AT ABOUT 35MPH THE CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. I HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 20 MINS UNTIL MY CAR WOULD RESTART AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD UNTIL AFTER ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED YARDS OF DRIVING THE CAR STALLED AGAIN COMPLETELY. I WAS THEN FORCED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO AN AUTO SHOP.

EVER SINCE WE GOT THIS CAR, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, OFTEN VERY ROUGH. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS TELL US THIS IS HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO ACT. I THINK NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS BC NO TRANSMISSION THAT IS THIS NEW SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THE ROUGH SHIFT, SLIP, ETC LIKE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED.
