ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON 1/12/2020 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I TURNED ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MERGE AND IT RAPIDLY CLICKED AND FLASHED ON THE DASH AFTER THE INITIAL 3 NORMAL FLASHES AND I NOTICED THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME WASN'T ACKNOWLEDGING MY TURN SIGNAL. ONCE HOME AN HOUR LATER, I REALIZED MY PASSENGER REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS STEADILY LIGHT (NOT FLASHING) EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OFF AND MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ENGAGED AND POSITION OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY TURN SIGNAL/TAIL LIGHT TO TURN OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE REAR SIGNAL WON'T WORK EITHER SINCE THE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF TO FLASH. I HAD TO REMOVE THE LIGHT FROM THE REAR FENDER AND UNPLUG THE LIGHT SO MY CAR WON'T DIE AND PLUG IT BACK IN WHEN I GO TO DRIVE SO I ATLEAST HAVE THE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. I CAN FIND NO INFO ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND CHRYSLER WASN'T ANY HELP. THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED, BUT IT DID GO OFF FOR JUST ONE MOMENT, FLICKERED AND CAME BACK ON WHEN I PLUGGED IT BACK IN THE LAST TIME I DROVE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I ONLY HAVE HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. WE JUST HIT OUR 100,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP TWICE WITH COOLANT SMELLS. MECHANICS NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM. EVERYWHERE I READ THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A $1000.00 REPAIR! A FLUSH IS $150-170. WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS. I'M READY TO TRADE IT IN BUT I DO LOVE MY CAR. NOT SURE ABOUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT CHRYSLER KNOWING ABOUT A ISSUE AND NOT OFFERING ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. MAYBE THEY BETTER SEND OUT A MASSIVE REBATE TO OLD OWNERS IN HOPES OF THEM STAYING A CUSTOMER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
CAR WAS IN MOTION LEAVING A SHOPPING AREA, TURNING RIGHT AND ACCELERATING ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. AS 45 MPH WAS ACHIEVED, THE CAR DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I LOOKED UP THE ETC INFORMATION AND READ I MAY BE ABLE TO TRY AGAIN TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DID TRY AND ROLLED ON THE SHOULDER FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE BEFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE THOUGH AN INTERSECTION. AT THAT POINT, CAR REPEATED THE ABOVE FAILURE AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED. WHILE WAITING ON THE TOW, I READ SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE, OFTEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR IN OTHER DANGEROUS LOCATIONS LIKE AN INTERSECTION. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING - NO SPUTTERING, HESITATION OR WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THIS FAILURE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT LOOKS TO ME TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
TOOK CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP YEARS AGO TO HAVE HEAD REST AND AIRBAGS FIXED. RECEIVED A NOTICE BY INPUTTING MY VIN THAT THESE FIXES WERE INCOMPLETE . ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE 3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE FROM THE FACTORY HAD SUBSTANDARD ENGINE BEARINGS WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE SEIZURE AND THE REMEDY WAS FOR THE FACTORY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THIS TIME FRAME, YET WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION.

ENGINE, STEERING
MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS PURCHASED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM FLORIDA AND I RESIDE IN ALABAMA I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO HISTORY. MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING AND LOOSING ALL POWER TO ENGINE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THERE IS NO CODES ON DASHBOARD. PCM WAS REPLACED STILL SAME ISSUE. IT IS VERY LIKELY THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING. IT CUT OFF TONIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 35MPH. THIS IS DANGEROUS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NO HEAT . HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER DEALER AT A COST OF $1600.00. HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT COVER COST. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALER THAT THIS A MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY ONLY ADVICE ON HOW TO REPAIR.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HEATER CORE...DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, RESEARCH REVIEWS OF CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE WITH MANY MAKES & MODELS FOR THEIR INEFFECTIVE HEATER CORE. THE COST TO FIX IS NOT CHEAP (I CAN SHOW RECEIPT) VERY FEW SHOPS WILL WORK ON HEATER CORE FOR THIS CAR. CAR HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH HEATER CORE, & I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN GIVE MY STORY AS I WOULD JUST BECOME EVEN MORE INFURIATED. ASHAME NO LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AGAINST CHRYSLER. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THESE IDIOTS DESIGNED A VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF ENTIRE BUMPER FOR TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BUMP (WHICH COST DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF THE ALREADY EXPENSIVE BULB). WORST PURCHASE EVER MADE, CHRYSLER COULD GIVE ME A CAR FOR FREE & I WOULD REFUSE TO TO KEEP IT AT THIS POINT. NEVER EVER AGAIN. JUST SAY NO TO CHRYSLER

ENGINE
APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN 2012 WHICH CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT. NO HEAT/ DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE APPARENTLY CAUSED BY ENGINE BLOCK MANUFACTURING PROCESS FLUIDS MIXING WITH ANTIFREEZE CAUSING A BLOCKAGE IN HEATER CORE. IF THEY KNEW, THEN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, INSTEAD OF PROFITING ON THE REPAIRS NEEDED TO CORRECT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 THAT STALLS RANDOMLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES AND NO RESULTS. THE SYSTEM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CODES STORED IN THE SYSTEM. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO PEOPLE. IT HAS LEFT ME IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE OR SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I HAVE LEARNED IT HAS BEEN AFFECTING YEARS FROM 2011 TO 2016
