POWER TRAIN
THE CAR BEGAN SHIFTING HARD AND HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THAT ISSUE. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. TODAY, 09-20-2018, THE CAR WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING OFF AND STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS THE SHIFTED TO PARK AND WOULD NOT GO BACK TO DRIVE. IT WAS THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AND THEN SHIFTED IN TO DRIVE. IT NOW SHAKES VIOLENTLY EVERY TIME WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THERE IS ABOUT 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE OTHER ISSUES OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (708-801-3090, LOCATED AT 17225 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING, IL 60438) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE TECHNICIAN TOPPED OFF THE OIL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER 700 MILES. THE CONTACT WENT BACK AND FORTH TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE OIL WAS REFILLED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BE CONDUCTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE MANUFACTURER ORDERED THE DEALER TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,424.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS LOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO SENSOR THAT SHOWS UP ON THE DASH LETTING ME KNOW THE OIL WAS LOW. THE "OIL CHANGE LIFE" IS STILL AT 20% LIFE BUT MY CAR HAS BURNED THRU OVER 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN 4,000 MILES!! I FIND THIS EXTREMELY CONCERNING NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE THAT CAN BE DONE WITH A CAR BURNING THIS MUCH OIL. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALERT TO DRIVERS LETTING THEM KNOW THE OIL LEVELS ARE LOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT BURNED OIL LIKE THIS!

IN THE LAST MONTH, MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. UPON TRYING TO RESTART, IT STRUGGLE TO TURN OVER. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THE CAR DIES EITHER. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TO LET ME KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. EACH TIME MY CAR STALLED I WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY NO CAR WERE COMING OR THEY WERE ABLE TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT AND KILLED WHEN MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ THE NUMEROUS 2015 AND 2016 MODELS HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THE 2016 200 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS SERIOUS, POSSIBLE FATAL ISSUE OF STALLING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS WHEN I WAS AT A STOP AND THEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, OR WHEN I WAS AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (APPROX 10 MPH). I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE DATES AND TIMES EACH TIME MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT.

SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM NOTICE ON DASHBOARD. 4TH EVENT OVER 2 YEAR PERIOD. CURRENT MILEAGE 25000. DEALER HAS NOW REPAIRED WIRING CONNECTIONS ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE (TWICE). SENSOR AREA NEAR FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT, AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT CONNECTOR, THOUGH CODE THROWN THIS TIME WAS FOR LEFT SIDE SEAT DEPLOYMENT SQUIB 1. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH SO MANY AREAS OF THE SYSTEM FAILING DUE TO IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTIONS, THAT THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO FAIL IN IN A CRASH WHEN MOST NEEDED! FAULTS OCCURRED BOTH WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. LOCATION AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL WERE RANDOM WHEN FAULTS OCCURRED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL IS GETTING STUCK! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JUNE, 2018 AND EVERY TIME I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR IT GETS STUCK WHILE I'M TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'LL WORK FINE ON FLAT ROADS AND GOING UPHILL BUT WHEN THE CAR GOES DOWNHILL AND THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASES PAST WHAT I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON' THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE RPMS GO UP TO 5 OR 6 (SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE!). I PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T STOP IT, I EVEN MASH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WON'T STOP IT! I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. I'VE NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2016 CHRYSLER 200S DUE TO THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. BUT IT IS GETTING STUCK LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES AND I NEED HELP!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

I HAD A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE YET AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ON JUNE 5TH 2018 I HAD TO DROP MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL I WAS ABOUT EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY FROM HER SCHOOL AND A GENTLEMAN PULLED ME OVER TO LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT MY CAR BECAUSE UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. SO I TURN THE CORNER TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL IN THE PARK CARS CUT THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT THE CAR NEXT THING I KNOW THE CAR BLOWS UP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COMES AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. BUT MY CAR IS AT A TOTAL LOSS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE OR BLEW UP BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. *TT *JS

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (D), THE CAR DISPLAYED A MESSAGE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO THAT STATES SHIFT TO PARK (P) TO START. AS, THAT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK UNTIL THE CAR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I SHIFTED MY CAR BACK TO PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A NOISE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO START WITH THE RPM'S FLUCTUATING TO ABOUT 3 (3000 RPMS) THEN GO BACK TO 0 THEN JUMP TO 1 (1000 RPMS) THEN BACK TO 0 RPMS WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD GIVE OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THEN IT WOULD RESTART AND RUN NORMALLY AGAIN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, DUE TO THE FACT OF HAVING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT GREW AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. LESLIE FROM CHRYSLER GAVE ME CASE ID #: 34798487. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SILVER SPRING LOCATED ON 12511 PROSPERITY DR, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904 TO BRING THE CAR TO GET SERVICED AND THE ISSUE LOOKED AT ON AUGUST 7TH 2018 AT 10:45 AM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED FOR MORE INFORMATION.

THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN SHOWING SINCE 2017 -2018 "SERVICE AIRBAB SYSTEEM WITH THE RED AIRBAG SIGN LIT. THE SIGN COMES AND GOES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND NOT CORRECTED. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CALLED AT THE 18008531403 NUMBER. NOW THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS 2,OOO MILES OVER WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE BUILD DATE OF THIS VEHICLE IS AUGUST 18, 2015. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SAME ISSUE FOR BUILD DATES APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015. THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THIS CAR WAS BUIILT DURING THE TIME . A RECALL IS NECESSARY ON THESE CARS TOO! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. THE COST SHOULD BE BORN BY CHRYSLER.

EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY CHRYSLER 200 NOV 28, 2017BTHE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING SHORT DRIVE TO THE MOVIES, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL. THEN A MONTH AGO, 06/27/2018 ANOTHER IGNITION COIL FAILED COSTING ME $250, LUCKILY WHEN THE COIL FAILED I WAS IN LINE AT A STARBUCK'S DRIVETHRU. NOW ANOTHER COIL HAS FAILED LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AGAIN, AND NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS PART AND AFTER RECENTLY READING REVIEWS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CALLED OUT, YET THIS VEHICLE IS STILL BE SOLD TO PEOPLE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE IN THIS LAST INCIDENT MY COIL WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING A HEAT ADVISORY. I ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PART THE IGNITION COILS ARE FAULTY AND ARE CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN.

THIS VEHICLE BUILD DATE INDICATED AUGUST 2015 AND IT WAS SOLD AS A 2016 VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMING ON SINCE 2016, 2017 AND 2018 AND I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1 800 853 1403 TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ISSUES CONTINUES. CHRYSLER SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. *TT *TR

VEHICLE SOUNDS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF WHEN STANDING IDLE SOMETIMES AND EVEN SOMETIMES AS I'M SLOWING DOWN. AND RECENTLY TOOK A ROAD TRIP HAD TROUBLE WITH CRUISE CONTROL AS IF IT WAS ACCELERATING ON IT'S ON OR GETTING STUCK. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOUND NO PARTICULAR RECALLS SPECIFIC TO THE VIN. HOWEVER, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT THE CHRYSLER 200 ITSELF HAD RECALLS RELATING TO ELECTRICAL, STEERING AND OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING SEEM TO BE CLOSELY RELATED TO THOSE SPECIFIED IN RECALL
