ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2012 CHRYSLER 200 SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING (SLOWING DOWN COMING TO A STOP SIGN) WITH NO WARNING. ALL POWER WAS GONE. THIS HAPPENED IN JULY OF 2015 AND TIPM WAS REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOLD ANOTHER FAULTY TIPM AND WAS REPLACED UNDER PART WARRANTY WITH NO COST TO ME. ANY TIME A VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS! FIRST TIME VEHICLE HAD APPROX 65,000 MILES. THIS TIME APPROX 80K

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAD THREE LIGHTS TO COME ON WHICH RESULTED IN HAVING TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE A DIGANOSTIC TEST, THE OUT COME WAS THE THROTTLE POSITION CENSOR IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE FROM ANY OF MY CHRYSLER VEHICLE AND THE REPAIRMAN SAID THIS IS A DEALER DEFECT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM GOING THROUGH AND ORDEAL SINCE I HAVE OWNED MANY CHRYLSERS WITH NO PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL...I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AT DARCARS IN MARLOW HEIGHTS, MD AND I HAVE ALREADY PUT THE CAR IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR DIFFERENT ISSUES. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS AFTER 2 WEEKS THE ENGINE CUT OFF ON THE BELTWAY(I 95) WHILE HEADING TO THE STORE. THANK THE LORD THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SIDE LANE BUT I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 CARS, ALSO, 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE BECAME VERY, VERY LOUD ON THE ROAD SO I ENDED UP PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS. IT IS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE/DEALERS CAN SELL LEMONS. PLEASE HELP ME WITH ISSUE TO GET MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALER...$12,000 I CAN BE REACHED AT (301)613-8819. THANKS!

AIR BAGS
I GET A RECALL ABOUT AIR BAG (SOMETHING ABOUT THE SEATS) AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. TOOK IT BACK, AND THE DEALER, HERMAN JENKINS IN UNION CITY TN, STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TODAY I HAVE A AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC, THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS ON THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER, IF THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX A PRODUCT THEY SELL!.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
"TAKATA RECALL" THE ISSUE IS IN THE ELECTRICAL WARNING SYSTEM. THE WARNING INDICATES AIR BAG. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND HAS STAYED ON CONTINUES TO STAY ON. IT DOES NOT FLASH IT JUST STAYS ON. ON THE START OF THE VEHICLE ONCE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON AND THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT CONTINUES TO STAY ON WHILE VEHICLE TURNED ON AND RUNNING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE A RECALL WITH THE MODULAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM AN OWNER OF A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 AND ON FEB. 1ST WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY A FIRE STARTED IN THE INTERNAL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR. A WEEK PRIOR BEFORE THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT A COMPANY LIKE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.
