ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AS I AM DRIVING THIS CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL BEFORE WE STARTING BUT OTHER TIMES IT WILL RESTART AND THEN I CONTINUE ON AND THIS MAY HAPPEN THREE TO FOUR TIMES ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING IT'S A HAZARD AND CAN LEAD TO A BAD ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RADIO BEGAN TO BUFFER AND WOULD REPEATEDLY CUT OFF AND ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE TOUCH SCREEN WOULD BE FROZEN DURING THIS TIME AND I COULD NOT OPERATE ANY CONTROLS. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED TO STALL DUE TO THE BUFFERING RADIO DRAINING THE BATTERY. A NEW RADIO IS ON BACK ORDER AND WON'T BE IN UNTIL OCTOBER FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE EARLY SUMMER. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS RADIO DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A PART IS ON BACK ORDER, THAT SHOULD LET CHRYSLER KNOW THERE IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH THIS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND SEEN VIDEOS ONLINE OF OTHERS DEMONSTRATING THE SAME ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG WARNING SENSOR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING OFF AND ON FOR OVER A YEAR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR AND IT WOULD COST ME ALOT TO REPLACE THEM. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER (GROG OUT) INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST STALL. AND JUST RECENTLY THE GAS CAP WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT WAS TOLD SOMETHING WAS FAULTY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. FIRST, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREETS, THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. SECOND DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE MY CAR WAS HAVING, KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, REPAIRED THE ISSUE.SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS BECAUSE MY AIRBAG ALERT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE, SOMEONE HAD KICKED THE WIRING LOOSE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT.THEN I HAD IT TOWED IN BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT .NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION CAME ON, I STILL ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK,BUT WHEN I WENT BACK OUT FOR LUNCH, IT WOULDN'T START. ROADSIDE JUMPSTARTED IT, AND IT STARTED. WENT BACK OUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START... HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS GETTING OUT, THE DASH LIT UP AS AND KEPT BEEPING AS IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING, SO I ACTUALLY HAD TO PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF , WEIRD, RIGHT! BUT THEN AS I'M WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR, IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AS IF I WAS TRYING TO REMOTE START IT. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY'RE DIAGNOSTIC EXPLANATION FOR MY CAR - MY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE DOESN'T WORK, AND I NEED A NEW BATTERY, AND YES MY DOOR PANEL HAD SOME FAULTY WIRES AND THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO PAY FOR. WHEN I TURN MY CAR TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. MY TIRES SLIDE WHEN IT'S RAINING, EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED NEW ONES. ALSO, MY CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN BEYOND FUNCTIONING. I DRIVE 17 MILES TO AND FROM WORK, AND I HAVE TO TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S FREEZING SOMETIMES. IT'S SAD TO KNOW I PURCHASED A LEMON AND THAT THEY CANNOT BE HONEST ABOUT THEIR RECALLS AND MAKING SURE MY SAFETY COMES BEFORE THEIR NEGLIGENCE., AND STOP TRYING TO COVERUP THEIR SCREWUPS IN MANUFACTURING A TOTAL LEMON.

"TAKATA RECALL". TO BEGIN, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, I'D BE DRIVING AND IT WOULD HESITATE THEN TAKE OFF REALLTY HARD AS TO EVEN JERK. DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, ONE PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING WRONG, TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THEN ANOTHER ISSUE OCCURRED WITH THE DASH ILLUMINATING TELLING ME MY AIRBAGS ALERT DISPLAYING ON MY DASH (2X)TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THOUGH THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE KICKED THE WIRING LOOSE UNDER MY PASSENGER SEAT. NO ONE HAS EVER SAT IN MY BACK SEAT. NOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE AT FIRST THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DROVE MY CAR TO WORK, RETURNED TO MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, HAD ROADSIDE JUMPSTART IT, AND IT STARTED, WENT BACK OUT LATER AND IT WOULDN'T START, AS I TRIED TO GET OUT, MY DASH LIT UP AND I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON FOR IT TO TURN OFF, AS I'M WALKING AWAY, MY CAR LITERALLY TRIES TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AS IF I HIT MY REMOTE START. HAD IT TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS HAVING A FAULTY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE ( FIRST OFF, I DRIVE 17 MILES TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, MY CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN BEYOND FUNCTIONAL, I LITERALLY HAVE TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE IT GETS SO COLD IN MY CAR) AND THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR STALLED BECAUSE OF A BAD BATTERY, AND SAID THE BURNING I SMELLED ON THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS A FAULTY WIRE AND THATS WHY ITS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, WHICH THEY'RE REPAIRING, BUT CHARGING ME FOR IT. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I'M DRIVING AND TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK, ALSO MY BREAKS WILL LOCK UP ON ME IF IT'S RAINING AND I'LL SLIDE ( REALLY)?? THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING LESS THEN A LEMON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
PUSH BUTTON START REQUIRES FOOT ON BRAKE, CAR IN PARK AND PRESS OF BUTTON/IGNITION. WHEN DOING SO, THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. LIGHTS, RADIO, OPEN DOOR WARNING BELLS DING, BUT CAR WILL NOT START. FUSES AND BATTERY HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE GOOD. CAR MUST BE BOOSTED OFF TO START. CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THIS ON THEIR DIME EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS ON OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE. SERVICE AND RECALL TEAM WAS VERY RUDE AND REFUSED TO OFFER ANY HELP.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 S I HAVE SEARCHED THE RECALL DATABASE AND IT SAYS ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED.

IT SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY I AM AFRAID TO MOVE IT ALTHOUGH NOW IT SAYS IT HAS A MISFIRE AND THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT IS ON. WHEN I DID DRIVE IT THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE PAST 1500 RPM.

AT ABOUT 46,0000 MILES THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ALBANY, NY WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY X2 BECAUSE THE CAR FAILED TO START AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT.

WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WILL JUST STOP ACCELERATING AND THE DASH WILL FLASH ERROR MESSAGES SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE. THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, SO YOU HAVE TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP FROM ROLLING IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE/HILL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER AND IT WAS DRIVABLE, BUT DID THE SAME THING DAYS LATER. THE CAR HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN SINCE, BECAUSE I'M SO AFRAID OF CAUSING A WRECK.
