SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE IS IN A COLLISION SHOP SINCE DEC. 19, 2016 FOR FRONT END REPAIRS. THE COLLISION REPAIR SHOP IS GERBER COLLISION & GLASS, 153 PA-100, FOGELSVILLE, PA 18051, IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL BUT A BACK ORDER ON A SUPPORT BRACKET PART # 68247600AA. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PART, HOWEVER THEY HAVE STOPPED PRODUCING THE ORIGINAL PART, AND ARE NOW RE BUILDING THE PART, AND THUS CLAIMING THE BRACKET IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANY CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERS AND CONSUMERS, AND THUS MY VEHICLE AND COLLISION MECHANIC HAS BEEN WAITING TO BE COMPLETE THE REPAIRS ON MY CHRYSLER 200S, AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THE STATUS OF THIS PART, FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION, OR AN ETS OF WHEN THEY WILL BEGIN SHIPPING THE SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE OVER 600 CONSUMERS, AND BUSINESS'S WAITING FOR THIS PART FOR THE SAME VEHICLE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP SINCE DECEMBER 19, 2016, AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS NOT PROVIDING ME WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THE SAFETY OR STATUS OF THIS PART, AND FURTHERMORE THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED MY INVESTMENT IN THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT HAD MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 MONTH. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER IT IS A CHRYSLER CORPORATION ISSUE WHICH THEY ARE FAILING TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES WITH INFORMATION AND OR THE STATUS AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE PART.

MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. NOT WHILE AT A STOP OR WHILE SLOWING. I AM LITERALLY DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS. I THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IN FORWARD MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE IN MID TURN. THIS ISSUE STARTED ON 1/24/2017 AND HAS OCCURRED EACH DAY 2-3 TIMES A DAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ALTERNATOR EXPERIENCED A RAPID FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 NORTH THROUGH MARYLAND AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~65 MPH), THE ABS AND STEERING CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF, JOINED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BY THE BRAKE INDICATOR. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE VENTS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE BATTERY DIED--NO HAZARD LIGHTS, OR ANYTHING. I LIFTED THE HOOD TO CHECK AND IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR IS A 3.6L WITH A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. THE SAME ALTERNATOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA RECALL 14V-634) IN THE REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VERSIONS OF THESE CHRYSLERS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR, DIFFERING ONLY IN THE HOUSING. THERE WERE NEVER ANY INDICATORS THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS GOING BAD--NO DIMMING LIGHTS, NO HISTORY OF REQUIRING JUMP STARTS, ETC. THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND WOULD HAVE PUT US IN A DEAD CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM HAD WE NOT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE
THERE IS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SERVICE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BLOCKAGE IN THE HEATER CORE. THEY ADVISE THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, OIL COOLER AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM. THIS WORK WAS ESTIMATED AT $2,700. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND HAD THE HEATER CORE REPLACED, THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED AND A MANUAL FLUSH ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN HALF THE COST. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU CANNOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NECESSARY. I BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TICKETED FOR NOT HAVING SAFE VISIBILITY WHEN OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE SO THIS IS DEFECT THAT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL FOR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES SO IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MAJOR COMPONENT LIKE THE HEATER CORE WOULD BE DAMAGED AND NOT WORK PROPERLY.

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER HAS A LIKELIHOOD OF NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH BECAUSE OF A TRANSIENT SHORT ACROSS THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MODULE, THEREFORE INCREASING THE CHANCE OF INJURIES IN THE VEHICLE IF A CRASH SHOULD OCCUR. FCA HAS SENT OUT A NOTICE IN OCTOBER 2016 AND HAS DONE NOTHING SINCE. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY COMMUNICATION TO THE CUSTOMER WHATSOEVER. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO INTERIM SOLUTION TO KEEP THE CUSTOMER SAFE, VERY DISPLEASED WITH THERE ACTION SO FAR.

MY BIG CONCERNS IS IF THE OIL WASN'T COOLING RIGHT/TRANSFERRING I WONDER WHAT EFFECT SIT HAD ON MY ENGINE. FOR A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT'S A HUGE AND SAD DEFECT.

NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL 16V-668 WITH NO SOLUTION INVOLVING PRETENSIONER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHERE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WAS REPORTED 2 YEARS PRIOR TO OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF RECALL 16V-668. THIS WAS DUE TO A FRONT-END CRASH IN 2014 WHERE THERE WERE TWO PASSENGERS AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CRASH INVOLVED A NOSE DIVE GOING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH INTO A 2-STORY GULLY DIRECTLY HITTING A LARGE OAK TREE WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
