ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED FINANCING THIS VEHICAL 3 MOBTHS AGO WHEN I TEST DROVE IT NOTHING WAS WRONG. A WEEK LATER AFTER COMING TO SIGN THE PAPER WORK AND PICK UP THE CAR I WAS INFORMED TGE KEYFOB NO LONGER WORKERED PROPERLY.THEN A WEEK AND A HALF AGO IT HAS A PROBLEM TURNING ON ON WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE THEN LAST NIGHT GETTING OFF WORK AND PICKING UP MY WIFE AND SON ANYTHING THAT WAS ELECTRICAL WOULD ICKER TO STAY ALIVE (HEAD LIGHTS, STEREO,HEATER,WINDOWS, ECT.) BUT WHAT SCARES ME IS THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICAL IS FULLY ELECTRIC SO THAT PRESENTS IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE TRANSMISSION CAN SHUT OFF IN MIDDRIVE. COMPLETLY UNSAFE

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY IN UPSTATE NY, TWO DIFFERENT LIGHTS CAME ON AND A NOISE SOUND CAME ON ONE WAS A THERMOSTAT AND THE OTHER WAS AN H LOOKING LIGHT AND THEN MY VEHICLE SHUTDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED AN OIL CHANGE AND STATED THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I'VE NEVER HAD IN ISSUES IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN FINANCING THIS VEHICLE. I'M STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATES IT WAS THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $4800. AS AN MILITARY VETERAN I AM ON A SET INCOME AND I'M NOT ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME TO EXPLORE OPTIONS IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACTS' RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ENGINE
INITIALLY THE PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH 1 WEEK AGO THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER TWITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RESTARTING IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR IT SHUTTING DOWN. JUST A PASSENGER RESTRAINT RECALL. LAST FRIDAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 55MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE CAR COULD NOT BE RESTARTED THIS TIME AND WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKEWOOD NJ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TELLING ME IT'S MY BATTERY, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANY ERROR CODES. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY NEWER BATTERY UNTIL I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH MY FLASHERS ON SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT BY THE CARS PASSING BY ME AT 60MPH!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THE STALLING ISSUES ARE RECOGNIZED AND REPAIRED??? I AM STILL SEEING COMPLAINTS NOW, OF DRIVERS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHO HAVE JUST SHUT DOWN LIKE ME. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL OUT THERE AND NEEDS ATTENTION BY CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING OWNERS WHEN WE COME IN FOR CARS SHUTTING DOWN. THIS IS NOT A LOW RISK SITUATION,, IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND DOESN'T NEED A TRAGIC DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM IS REAL!! I'M NOW BEING CHARGED BY CHRYSLER CLOSE TO $500 FOR DIAGNOTIC TESTS AND A NEW BATTERY, 137.00 FOR A RENTAL CAR,,, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. DEALER SAYS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD COST $2,900, BUT THAT CHRYSLER ALSO CAN DO AND "OVERLAY" (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS) FOR $165 PER SEAT THAT MIGHT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY, BUT THE ONLY GUARANTEED FIX IS THE $2,900 OPTION. OBVIOUSLY THE $2,900 OPTION IS COST PROHIBITIVE SO AFTER WE WENT WITH THE $165 OPTION, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DEFROST DOESN'T WORK. DEALERSHIP CALLS FOR REPLACING RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND OIL COOLER DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD-UP/CLOGGING IN COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE COOLANT USED BY CHRYSLER AND THE CHEMICALS/OILS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM. THIS IS 100% A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE DEALER & MANUFACTURER ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE. FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012/2013 CHRYSLER 200, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TYPE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN BECOME FOGGED VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS (DAMP WEATHER) AND WITHOUT WARNING, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD. STARTED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 30 MPH THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLING. AS THAT HAPPENED MY TOUCHSCREEN IN THE VEHICLE WENT IN AND OUT AND THE CAR BECAME HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND THEN RELEASE IT AFTERWARDS THE CAR REALLY BECAME HARD TO MOVE. TRANSMISSION JUST REVED AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED ACCELERATING.
