ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN AT A STOP SIGN THE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES RAPIDLY. TURN IT IN A DIFFERENT GEAR IT STOPS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT HAS A DELAY; RPM WILL JUMP AND NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU RELEASE THE GAS AND THE CARS RPM DROPS AND CAR JERKS YOU INTO NEXT GEAR. WITH THIS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR A FATALITY DUE TO THE JERKING MOTION AND UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES

I AM WRITING IN TO NOTIFY YOU THAT CHRYSLER RECALL P43 SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONALITY LOSS IN THE DRIVER DOOR DUE TO WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IS A SHORT IN THE DRIVER DOOR WIRING HARNESS. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHORT VISUALLY, BUT KNOW ITS THERE FROM A MULTI METER TEST READING. THEY WANTED OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS DOOR HARNESS AND I TRULY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER P43 RECALL. THIS RECALL ONLY APPLYS TO 8 "KNOWN" CHRYSLER 200 LX MODELS BUT WHO IS TO SAY THE DEFECT COULDN'T BE PRESENT IN MORE? IT HAS PRESENTED ITSELF OBLIVIOUSLY IN MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FAILING TO REPLACE THIS HARNESS WILL RESULT IN FURTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURE INCLUDING AIRBAG MIS-OPERATION,. IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2017. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CALLED BAXTER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM AND ICALLEDA TOW TRUCK. LATER THAT DAY BAXTER CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS.THEY FIXED THE RECALLS AND MY CAR WAS GOOD FOR AWHILE. I THEN STARTED HAVING A ISSUE WHERE MY CAR WOULD JERK HARD WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. AFTER I START RESEARCHING MY MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR I START TO READ THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL BAXTER AGAIN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND EXPLAIN WHAT I READ TO THEM AND THEY CALL ME BACK AND NOW SAY IT'S MY BATTERY. I GET MY CAR BACK IT'S STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EXPECT NOW MY CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK WHEN I HAVE DROVE IT 1,000 MILES. I DID NOT WAIT 1,000 MILES BECAUSE I NANNY AND DRIVE PEOPLE'S CHILDREN IN MY CAR AND IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE AND MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS. I KEEP MAKING APPOINTMENTS AND FINALLY THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION SO THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. MY TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPS AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF ME WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I HAVE CALLED BAXTOR MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN PUT IN AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE CHRYSLER ASSOCIATION TOLD THEM TO NOT PERFORM ANYTHING ELSE ON MY CAR BECAUSE THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO DO THIS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 1/2018 I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WANTS TO STALL AS SOON AS I PRESS THE GAS AND PUTTERS ALONG UNTIL IT GETS ENOUGH ENERGY AND WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO GO SUCH AS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NORMALLY HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE MEDIUM TO GET ENOUGH SPEED TO MOVE INTO THE TRAFFIC OTHERWISE I'M BOUND TO GET REAR ENDED. THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION TO COME ON. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND TAKES ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO START BACK UP , UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE ( DASH, RADIO) DIM EXTREMELY LOW DURING DAYLIGHT UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND STILL CHARGED ME. WHEN THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED AND WERE MORE NOTICEABLE AND MORE OFTEN THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN WITH NO RESULTS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE JUST STAGGERS INSTEAD OF GAINING SPEED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HASSTARTED STALLING IF I DO NOT LET IT RUN FOR 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND BATTRY CHECKED. EVERYONE SAYS THEY ARE FINE. AFTER MY BATTERY DIED FROM THE COLD AND MY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND SEE EVERYONE ELSE HAS AS WELL. I WANT A RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY ASS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY AS I AM ACCELERATING TO TURN CORNERS OR GO AT LIGHTS WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

AIR BAGS
PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 2015 IN MARCH 2016. ODOMETER READ 28350. OCTOBER 2017 HIT A BUMP GOING TO WORK, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON. HAD A LITTLE ANXIETY BUT W JUST THE RIGHT BUMPS LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL FEB OF 2020 WHEN I SEND THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE A THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED AS WELL AS THAT DASH WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES AND GOES. MECHANIC REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING IS UNDER RECALL AND CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THAT. OK. I MAKE AN APPT AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GRESHAM OREGON AND THEY TELL ME AFTER A 4 HR DIAGNOSTIC THAT THE AIRBAG SAFETY HARNESSES UNDER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT I NEED TO REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST WILL BE $2705. HELLO CHRYSLER??? THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM OR AT LEAST MY SOLE PROBLEM.

MY CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT WHICH TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO KICK IN. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK. I WILL LET IT RUN FOR A MINUTE AND THEN DRIVE OFF BUT IT WILL STILL STALL ONCE I PULL UP TO THE STOP SIGN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I AM AFRAID IT MAY STALL AND I MAY GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE FOR A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ON OUT THERE. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT THE NOTHING SHOWS ANYTHING WRONG.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
MY CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL RECENTLY. IT IS USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR DECELERATING ALTHOUGH IT IS ALSO WHILE IN COMPLETE MOTION BUT COASTING. THERE IS NO WARNING SOUND, LIGHTS OR INDICATION. ONE MUST FIND A WAY TO GET OFF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE). THE CAR DOES NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY. THE ONLY LIGHT ON DURING THIS TIME IS THE BATTERY LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING AND THE 'START' BUTTON SHOWS THE CAR IS IN THE 'RUN' POSITION. POWER STEERING IS ALSO LOST DURING THIS TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
