POWER TRAIN
NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, BLOWS COLD AIR. HOWEVER, THERE IS HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP BROKE HEATER DOOR/ACTUATOR. I GET TO THE PART THAT NEEDS REPAIR I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $650 TO REMOVE DASHBOARD- LABOR COST., REPAIR/REPLACE COST IS NOT PART OF THE $650. REVIEWS SHOW THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINT WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR 2012 200 CHRYSLER. IT 'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST BECAUSE OF COLD AIR BEING BLOWN OUT . . . DOESN'T CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN COLD WEATHER NOR DOES IT KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR IN RAINY WEATHER. WHY HASN'T A MANDATORY RECALL BEEN ISSUED TO TO MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT/REPLACE PART. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES. BLOWS COLD AIR BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION ON ALL, ROAD WAYS, ALL THE TIME NO MATTER IF I AM TURNING, BRAKING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT --- NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR WAS PURCHASED USED 8/1/17 FOR MY DAUGHTER GOING TO COLLEGE. CAR WOULD NOT START ON WEEKEND TEST DRIVE, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. I DID GET DEALER TO FIX 3 OPEN RECALLS. SEPT 2017 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT COLLEGE AND CAR BROKE DOWN WHILE AT A LIGHT, WOULD NOT START. . GOT TOWED TO DEALER AND IT STARTED. THE DEALER FOUND AN OPEN CODE TO REPLACE FUSE PANEL AND COMPLETED FIX. DEC 23 2017, CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING, HOWEVER STARTED 5 MINUTES LATER. JAN 2018, CAR WOULD NOT START - JUMPED AND IT STARTED. 1 HOUR LATER WOULD NOT START OR RESPOND TO JUMP. TOWED BACK TO DEALER AND NEXT DAY WHEN THEY GOT TO IT STARTED RIGHT UP. FEB 6 2018, CAR DIED WHILE DAUGHTER DRIVING IT AT 35-40 MPH, SHE MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND A CODE TO REPLACE THE PCM. FEB 18 2018 THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND NOW I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR AS HER CAMPUS IS 2.5 HOURS AWAY AND IN THE MOUNTAINS - COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE WAS DRIVING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE CAR DIED. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I TRY TO WORK WITH THE DEALER TO BUY BACK THIS CAR. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE YET THEY CAN'T FIX IT AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO ATTACH SERVICE RECORDS AT THIS TIME BUT I DO HAVE THEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
S55 RECALL CONCERN: I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE!! I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2017 STARTING IN LATE NOVEMBER EARLY DECEMBER 2017 THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND COMPLETELY DIES. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN I AM BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST EVERY 3-6 MILES I DRIVE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE ALOT WORKING AN HOUR AWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND IT JUST STOPS. SOMETIMES IT GIVES WARNINGS BY LIGHTING UP RANDOM LIGHTS LIKE SLIPPERY ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND SPUTTERS SO I CAN ANTICIPATE IT SINCE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!! I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT OVER, I USE FULL SYNTHETIC DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE FOR THE VEHICLE BUT TO ME THIS IS NO SAFETY FEATURE IF ANYTHING IT IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND I AM AFRAID TO RIDE AROUND WITH MY CHILD IN IT NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IN FACT I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO GO AROUND INTERSECTIONS OR DANGEROUS EXPRESSWAYS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL STOP WITH HER IN THE CAR. PLEASE HELP!

THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER TRANSMISSION ERROR. WILL NOT DISENGAGE FROM PARK. THE MOTOR SURGES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING CAUSING A DANGEROUS INCREASE IS SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START DUE TO TRANSMISSION ERROR. TAKEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE. DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, HAS ONLY 15000 MILES. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. DASHBOARD PROMPT SAYS PUT IN PARK TO START.CAR WON'T START UNTIL AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SEVERAL NEAR MISSED REAR ENDERS CAR STARTED BUT STUTTERING AND NO POWER. FINALLY AFTER SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES ENGINE SMOOTHED OUT. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, BOTH TIMES CAR WAS IN MOTION TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. DEALERSHIP SAID OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED BUT OIL LIFE GAUGE SAID 51% AND OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER 500 MILES.TECH.AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING SAFE ABOUT THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED.
