2012 CHRYSLER 200

It was summer time I was driving and out of no where don’t know where my car begins to overheat and then stops and starts and stops and starts and stops till June 2022 starts raining sometimes and it didn’t didn’t didn’t didn’t it. We replace the thermostat we replaced the water pump. We replaced the Head gasket and all we thought and it is still over heating and also would like to complain about the fact that when I was in a car accident, August of last year, the passenger side airbag was
Very disappointed with the 200. It’s been nothing but a headache for me. I’ve had problem after problem for over the last year including failure of the tires out of the blue and for no reason I would honestly like to see something done because I still owe money on this vehicle. Not to mention when I first bought my car. Every time it would idol it was smokes. When does the hood smoke from under the hood and I just want to vanished not to mention the fact of the weird buzzing noise from in my dash.

Vehicles engine shut down while pulling to a slowing stop. Power steering and brake capabilities stopped, and the vehicle had to be put into park in order to stop it’s drifting. Vehicle started up fine after being turned off and on again.

Car just keeps stalling and dealership can’t find the cause

Car has been acting up since the day I bought it and I paid cash for it and now I have a car I paid cash for that I can’t drive because it’s unsafe and a lemon the dealership never said there were any recalls on the car and I asked the dealership and the told me no and I asked if there was a car fax report done on it and they said they we’re not required to have one done on it because of the covid19 pandemic and I asked if it had any problems or had been in any wrecks and they told me know I paid $4000.00 dollars cash for the car to the dealership in Oklahoma city at best price auto sales and I have had every problem imaginable since the day I drove it off the lot it’s been one thing after another and It was the first time in my life I have been able to buy a car outright with cash so that I owned it and it would last me and I even specifically asked them to please be honest with me and don’t be a dealership that is just going to tell me what I want to hear and sell me a lemon and that’s exactly what they did and now I’m without a car and on foot please help me I would appreciate someone guide me in the right direction and help me fight for what is right God bless

Engine dies while driving. No CE lite on. All engine power to ign., fuel inj., fuel pump; etc. Is lost. Auto shut down relay replaced, still no start. Let sit for 50 to 75 minutes will restart and drive until next occurance.

I was driving home on US1 and all of a sudden my car just stopped 2 cars almost hit me and the steering wheel locked on me crysler said they can’t help me

Still not fixed. Cleaned throttle body, and when that didn\'t resolve the issue they replaced throttle body. Car still stalls at random times, both while moving and waiting at lights. Almost been in several accidents. All loss of power steering and control of the car.

Problem Description: Windshield wipers only work on High and when you turn them off they just stay in any postion.

What happened?
My stepdaughter\'s car (2012 Chrysler 200), apparently has a bad TIPM. Took it to Checker who diagnosed the \"Check Engine\" light which had come on and told us it was most likely the TIPM. We then took it to the local Chrysler dealer (Earnhardt, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram in Gilbert, AZ) for an N38 Recall issue (Active Head Restraint/Air Bag) They told us they would reset the TIPM module and we were hoping to have the issue resolved. It should be noted that before we took it for the recall issue, the car had seemed to be working fine and mysteriously the check engine light had turned off. Well, lo and behold after they reprogrammed the TIPM and did the Air bag recall we picked up the car and my wife immediately noticed that the check engine light had reappeared and the car was once again driving like crap! I came home and started doing research and found this webpage that told me to file complaints, however, I also noticed that there was apparently a software patch that Chrysler came out with as a result of this problem. I called Chrysler @ 800-992-1997 thinking I might get someone who could give me more information but of course this hapless character didn\'t know what the hell I was talking about in reference to a \"software patch\" He did call the dealership we were just at for the recall, but of course, got nothing but an answering machine. He told me he left a message and they would call back Monday to talk about our concerns. I\'m not holding my breath waiting for the call.
When did this happen? 10/15/2017

The dealership wants to charge me $1800 to replace the TIPM, but I see other Chrysler models have been recalled for this… except mine hasn\'t. I don\'t have $1,800 to fix a defective car – especially when it\'s a known issue to the company. Im beyond frustrated.

This isn\'t just a minor inconvenience… TIPM failures can be very VERY unsafe.
The fuel pump not turning off and burning out
The airbags not deploying OR deploying randomly
The engine stalling while driving
The starter cranks but wont start
The horn going off at random times
Power windows not working
Doors locking or unlocking themselves

Car is stalling unexpectedly when driving, usually when slowing down to turn or when stopped at an intersection. Not easily restarted after stalled. Taken to three different repridable mechanic shops including the actual Chrysler dealership, over $1000 later and still stalling. Dealership stated it was the throttle body, and back brakes, paid $960, picked up to drive home and it stalled twice within 10 miles from the dealership. This car has stalled on me while turning left into the lane of oncoming traffic and on my husband in the middle of a busy intersection. I would love to know how this is not a recall? I have researched this issue and many many people have bad this same issue.

I am writing this complaint in response to my 2012 200 Chrysler which has completely lost all power. It started out with the windshield wipers stopping on me and then one day while driving the car i lost power. The steering wheel locked up and the car came to a complete stop. Luckily I wasn\'t on the highway and was pulling into the parking lot of my office building. After speaking with Chrysler I was told there was nothing they could do since this part is no longer covered under warranty. It seems strange to me that this part on my car had a recall for the software a few years ago and now the hardware is bad. I see a ton of complaints on this very issue including a lawsuit. If safety is of concern, it would seem like they would anything in their power to help the consumer.

I am very concerned about the PCM problem that Chrysler had but claimed to fix. I experienced this first had with my kids in the car this is very dangerous. I\'m driving and the engine complete shuts off and because it was not at high risk no recall was done. What will be a high risk for Chrysler to get this done without their customers experiencing such danger and having to contact them.

Engine shutdown while driving. I received a PCM update that was supposed to prevent this from happening.

the vehicle has on several occassions shut-down while driving. The lights blink and turns off while operating; all inside lighting turns off. Dealership unable to determine cause as vehicke been in shop and tech unable to re-create action.

Windshield wipers only work on High and when you turn them off they just stay in any postion.

Wipers would not work except on “High.” They would not park when shut off, so switch had to be turned to off as they were at the bottom of the windshield. Vehicle required a new TIPM.

Bad tipm, caused fuel pump to fail and door lock actuators to stop working. Car wold stall at random times.

OPER IN TIPM REPLACE TIPM

From the early months after purchasing my vehicle I noticed that heat was coming from under the bottom on the driver and passenger side. I thought nothing of it. As time passed on I noticed the antifreeze in my overflow was getting low so I decided the have it filled. After a friend filled it up, he noticed when the engine was running the coolant was boiling. That shouldn’t be happening. So I decided to take it to the dealership and was hit with this enormous bill. I decided to research and noticed that the TIPM has been an issue with a number of Chrysler vehicles. This is probably and issue with a lot of cars but Chrysler is keeping quiet about the whole ordeal and charging customers these outrageous fees for repairs when this is a manufacturing problem.

Bought this car brand new. There have been a few problems along the way that just seemed to resolve. First was the driver window would not go up or down. It was raining and cold and I was traveling. Stopped at a garage on the highway. They tried to find the issue but I played with the window and got it to go up finally. Than there is the brake light that has been going on for a year. Had the brakes checked by a mechanic and was told the brakes were not bad maybe a faulty code. Than I was driving home one evening a few months ago and the car just completely lost all power. I was coming to a stop at a light and thankfully was able to pull over to safety. Turned the key off and restarted. Car has run a bit rough since than but no stall. This past week the car was driven to work and parked. Went out to go to another school where my job is the car wouldn’t start. It seemed to be trying to but it did not. The car was right next to an auto mechanic tech classroom where the instructor came out to assist. He thought at first that the car was out of gas. it was not. He put the car on a scanner and a code showed that the car was getting too much oxygen to fuel. Code showed “lean”.
After that the car was running a bit rough and I noticed this inside lighting looked dimmer than usual. I called Chrysler and emailed them. I was told to take it to a Chrysler dealer for them to diagnose. Chrysler insisted that they have to diagnose the car and than they might be able to help. (how naive I am) Paid for tow and left my car. Chrysler checks it out the next day after I call to make sure that they are checking the car. That cost $103. Finally I get a call late in the day telling me that my fuel pump is broken. At 58,000 miles I asked why it would be bad. He did not know. Had to have car fixed and had to find the $642.12 to pay for it because Chrysler was giving me no satisfaction. The Tech called to tell me that the car was fixed 5 days later and that the mechanic had also changed my spark plugs without notifying him nor me so that was free.. They were asked to keep the parts for me and agreed. So car is back today. Still waiting for Chrysler to email me back. Having the car looked at again by an outside mechanic who has the computer systems required to test the car. Car is still running a bit rough but I have a hard time believing that the fuel pump on a 2012 with 58,000 miles is bad and needs to be replaced. I questioned the person who called from the dealer and he said it was not the TIPM. So work has been missed and money already out of pocket that was not extra money but there for my next car payment. And no transportation. For a problem that Chrysler knows about and denies. I have had my grandchildren in that car. It is time some one does something about this.

I have had the car in 3 times due to the engine just shutting off while driving. It started doing it at low speeds only but now cuts off while driving on highways. Last time I had it in a week ago they said it was a loose battery terminal prior to that could not find anything. The car lost power again after the loose battery terminal was fixed and I’m taking it back to Chrysler to have it looked at. It’s very dangerous and I was almost rear ended when the car lost power. I had to shut it off and restart it

Brand new Chrysler 200 S stalled twice in traffic at varying rates of speed. Has been out of service for 77 days out of the 120 I have owned the car. Chrysler is unable to diagnosis/fix/repair. The 200’s are currently being investigated by the federal government for the stalling issue. Chrysler has not made any real attempt to solve the problem, is not communicating with me, still has my car. It is as if they have actually stolen my car. Pretty amazing. Have filed formal complaints, nothing. Have filed Iowa Lemon Law complaints, nothing.

I recently purchased a 2012 Chrysler 200 Touring. I cannot drive this vehicle at night due to the bi-functional halogen headlights, installed on all cars of this model (as I have been told by the dealership). I live in a mountaneous area with dark and curvy roads. On low beam, these headlights provide you with very limited area of visibility. It has the appearance of a shade being pulled down on your windshield, and you are only able to see a short distance in front of you. Therefore, you are trying to see out of a very small area with all other areas completely dark. It is very dangerous and potentially life threatening. The dealership has adjusted the lights, which only helped slightly. The Service Manager at my dealership drove a like vehicle home under my same conditions and he stated that he had never seen anything like this. He said it appeared something was jumping out and he had to hit the brakes a couple of times. He told Chrysler he agreed with me and thought it was very dangerous and something should be done. He was told that this is the new and better headlights. I contacted Chrysler and created a Case #22396359, but no help. They said they sent me a letter, but as of this date, I have not received it. I sent a certified letter explaining my safety issue concerns, and ask that they send me the letter they indicated they had sent. I eventually received a telphone call from Chrysler and was told this is the characteristic of the headlight and they closed the case (still no letter from Chrysler). This is a very dangerous situation for both the driver and anyone/anything along the roadway. I have viewed many complaints on this headlight issue, but it does not seem they are getting any help either. Dealership says to go back to Chrysler, Chrysler says go to dealership.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact was driving approximately 25 mph when the brakes were depressed however, the vehicle did not stop and began to slide instead. the air bag warning light illuminated simultaneously with the failure. in addition, there was a loud whistling sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. the contact was able to stop the vehicle on the shoulder and the vehicle was later taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken for diagnostic testing twice. the technician advised that the clock spring sensor failed and would need replacing. the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 11,500.

The car won't stop overheating, we have replaced thermostats and pumps thinking there was a leak but that never stopped the problem. 20 seconds after starting the car the engine is already at the halfway mark for how hott it is, and even goign 30 miles an hour get all the way to the top and starts overheating. on my way to work i almost crashed cause it showed no indicators at al!!! just starting bellowing smoke. so i pulled over and turned it off and didnt move it.

My car engine is knocking loud when i drive, do i need a new engine..?

When driving the vehicle will suddenly shut off. no warning of it about to happen just does. i lose steering and brakes and turns on only after time goes by or by removing negative terminal from battery. it's happened at 35mph and at 60 mph. i've gone a week with no incident to having it happen dozens of times on a single trip. very scary situation. especially in traffic.

Engine stalled forcing me to cross two lanes of traffic almost getting hit by another car engine light came on would not restart if it did start it sputtered the next day i took it to a dealer who told me the following day it's a crank sensor checking online that seems to be a problem with your engines cost me $500 almost to fix the repair and also i had to wait two days without a car and then pay for 2 days for a rental car i do not understand why this was not covered i could have been hurt severely

Vehicle randomly stalls, reverse and drive. it will stall in traffic, while driving and backing out of the driveway. i had a p0335 code after it stalled about 10 time. i have changed the crankcase sensor 3 times but does not correct the issue. also have electrical issue with windows not working and only half the defrost working.

My wife was driving our 2012 chrysler 200s with the 3.6l pentistar engine and the engine shut off while she was driving on 03/09/2021 and i came and got her and we tried to restart the car and all it did was crank until the car timed out and no start and the next moring the car started up just fine with no lights on in the dash and this is the 5th time the car has done this and i have researched the problem and its one of two things a pcm udate or a connector to the tipm or fuse box and i want to know why ther is no recall for this and why chrysler only recalled the 2015 model 200

The car shut off without warning leaving me stranded 10 miles from home. i now believe it happened ones before, the car was towed and on a whim the driver turned the key and the car started.

My passenger side window does not come back up after being let down, using the driver window button or the passenger button. i have replaced the motor, the switch and regulator but same issue. i have research and looked online where this seems to be a common problem even after the individuals replaced all parts from 2004- up until now.

My vehicle stalled for the first time of over 100x on may 19, 2019 just as i was entering a highway. it has since stalled driving in highway traffic fast and at red lights. as a matter of fact it just happened again as i write this complaint.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that while driving at an unknown rate of speed, the traction, brake, and abs warning lights all simultaneously illuminated on the instrument panel. the contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective hydraulic brake module and brake pump. the mechanic called several unknown local dealers and each dealer informed him that the part was discontinued. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

Takata recall. i have a recall on airbags and seatbelt transponder may not work in event of an accident. i refuse to drive this car and am not waiting until june 2017 for a repair. i want a buyback immediately....with incentive ...so i can get on with my life. a rental is being offered at this time . i am not satisfied and a buyback would make more sense.

Vehicle stalled and would not start while driving (2 times )towed to dealer as (both times) tow driver could not restart. dealer reported no computer codes and car started after car started on problem. there appears to be common safety hazard that has been experienced by many owners, that reportly chrysler and nhtsa agreed upon a resolution to avoid a recall by chrysler of this safety hazard in sept 2012. chrysler doesn't acknowledge and not sharing this information with dealers so they can take corrective action. various attempts tried to resolve this hazardous condition have included replacing the powertrain module, camscope replacement, monitoring the on board with a copilot computer-which also showed no codes. the dealer did say that chrysler suggested an additional module be added to the on board computer, but none of their customers returned a third or more times as previous attempts were unsuccessful and appeared to give up. this life threatening safety hazard needs to beinvestigated and resolved, as we were driving on a roadway and the motor just shut off., if this not resolved it will sometime cause injuries or deaths, which could end up with a recall something that chrysler possible replacement of on computers.

My cars heater core was plugged. when we went to have it fixed we were told that this is a common issue with the chrysler 200. we had it fixed in february 2016 for $800. now in november 2016 it is plugged again!

Cruise control has a short. if i hit the steering wheel air bag it will eventually turn on the cruise. this happens when the car is in motion and usually when i am traveling on a highway which makes it dangerously distracting. the car only has 13,000 miles on it. the problem has been going on about one year.

While i was taking off to drive my car, the car shut down. all the lights came on, then everything shut down. the car started, but i could not drive my car. i had to have my car towed. i was told that the alternator went out. this happened in september 2015. i was at a restaurant, leaving to go home. i paid 415.45 for a new alternator.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving 45 mph, a loud noise was heard. the contact pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the front passenger side fender wall was loose and wrapped around the tire. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact was able to detach the fender wall from the tire. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fender wall needed replacement. the front passenger side fender wall was replaced. a month later, the contact drove over a hole and the fender wall had to be replaced again. the issue recurred a third time, but the fender wall was not replaced. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

I was driving straight forward, in the right lane of a four lane highway (two lanes in either direction). a car traveling in the opposite direction, lost control and crossed the highway, striking my car's front end. my car received extensive front end damage. the car was totaled, as was the other car. i was driving and my wife was in the front passenger seat. we were both wearing our seat belts. at the time of the impact, neither airbag deployed, nor did the seat belt pretensioners activate (locking the seat belts in place), causing serious injury to both of us, requiring hospital admittance in the intensive care unit, for myself. police traffic crash report, photos and other documents are available if required, in the future. also, i just received a re-call notice, dated october 1, 2016. nhtsa 16v-668, concerning the car i was driving at the time of the crash...updated 01/04/17 *bf *tr *po - inj but not death as indicated updated 7/25/18*jb *tr *dt *jb

"takada recall" while driving down the road at 40 mph. i heard a chime and looked down at my instrument panel. the abs and the electronic stability control was on. light was on for both. but instead of the esc it was the little car with wavy,jiggly lines under it. these two lights have been on constant for a good 3 weeks. it has gone out while driving a few times for a few minutes just to come back on and stay on almost all the time. there is no flashing of the lights. i don't drive every day. i drive around 5 times a week and short distances of 2 to 4 miles for the most part. there is also a whistling nice coming from the front of the vehicle. i don't think it is very safe to drive since the brakes and traction of the car are all to important part of me and my families safety. please help with this issue. i paid and am still paying a lot for this car that now has 62000. miles on it. *tr

Was driving car going only 25-30 mph and made an attempt to slow down to a stop which i had plenty of time and space between car in front of me and my front fender to do, as i applied brakes i notice it go all the way to the floor and my car wouldn't stop which soon after having plenty of space to do it led to a rear end collision as my brakes failed to work correctly when applied. i have a police report to verify the incident on 09/27/2016 in appleton, wi. because i was going at a really slow speed at the time luckily no one was really hurt when this occurred around 10:00 am in an area with little to no traffic at the time, but even know i was only going around 20 when there was an impact my car which was new prior to this accident is now considered under state law in wisconsin a salvage vehicle as repairs exceeded the value at the time of 7000.00

While driving down the road the etc light came on and the traction light came on and the car will not accelerate. i was able to park the car and when i restarted it that was a very rough idle and the check engine light the etc light and the traction light are all on.

Takata recall ----while driving, in motion, to pick up my daughter from school i start to hear a winding sound. my electrical system that powers the radio and uconnect system starts to shut down. my abs light and esc light comes on and im starting to smell a burning in the car,while this winding sound is getting louder, smoke is coming from the hood. the timing or transmission is disabled , the car shutsdown in the middle of the road, in front of the school exit. we could have been struck from behind or the side of the vehicle. car smells like it caught fire.

Without any symptoms or warning my 2012 chrysler 200 experienced total transmission failure while driving in heavy city traffic. while turning left at an intersection i lost all gears. i was nearly rear ended by a city bus. the chrysler dealership that the car was towed to states this is a common issue with the 200 v6.

Vehicle was recalled ten months ago (16v-668). parts are still not available. local chrysler dealership is stating parts will not be available until 2018. make chrysler fix this safety concern!

Mold inside passenger door and back left side door, every time it rains, water collects in the door and never comes out - causing mold to form. car has never been wrecked and it was bought brand new

My airbag light had come up. it turned of once then came back on. it has not turned off since then. it started on 6/19/17. it turned of once when i was at a stop light. now it's always on.

Air bag light came on and stays on. randy wise dealership in durand michigan checked and charged us. they said they don't know what is wrong with it. this knocked out cruise and traction control. this came on while in motion and is now on continuously. the other safeties are out too.

The dealership wants to charge me $1800 to replace the tipm, but i see other chrysler models have been recalled for the same thing... except mine hasn't. this isn't just a minor inconvenience... it's very very unsafe: • the fuel pump not turning off and burning out • the airbags not deploying or deploying randomly • the engine stalling while driving • the starter cranks but won’t start • the horn going off at random times • power windows not working • doors locking or unlocking themselves my wipers, horn and lights go on at random times. at times it's while i'm driving.... sometimes it's while it's parked. the car doesn't even need to be turned on for this to happen. it's drained my battery a few times and now it's not even drivable. it started back in november, 2016, but has continued through the present. i haven't been able to drive it for the last 2 weeks.

I was driving my 2012 chrysler 200 and it stops in the middle of the road suddenly with out any warning. it happened to me 8 times in a row now with in week. i just see a check engine light on in the dashboard and the engine shuts off completely. if i try to restart the car it starts only after turning the car off for few mins. i had it checked a couple of times with a mechanic but they are not able to fix it. driving this car is not safe as it stops in the middle of the road and locks the steering as well.

I was driving around 40-50 mph when my vehicle shut down for no reason and with no warning. the only warning was after it shut down and the engine light came on. i had to swerve out of traffic with no power steering and turn the ignition to off. that i started it back up and it drove fine but with the check engine light still on. i have read numerous complaints about this and about dealers doing nothing about it. some complaints involving injuries and children. something needs to be done about this because i am now stuck with a lemon that is not worth what i owe.

On nov 7 2016 at roughly 7pm, i was heading west on the 10 freeway location 34.065990,-117.993771, baldwin park, ca. traffic started to slow to 45 mph then came to a sudden stop and i was the last one in the 4 car collision. my airbags did not deploy and. i feel that the brakes may be faulty for when i stepped on them as hard as i could it seemed to be more of a skipping stop. for the littlest bump feels like ur hydroplaning to a stop. chrysler never informed me of any recall about the airbags though i felt they should of deployed. my car was in the shop till march so i havent had it back but a few months.

The air bag & seat belt tensioner may not deploy, replacement of occupant restraint controller is required. it's been over 6 months with no remedy provided by chrysler, this is unsatisfactory.

A few weeks ago, the transmission failed while i was driving on the highway, left me stranded, and without a car for ten days.  it seems that chrysler is aware of a drum issue within the transmission in this make and model vehicle and in fact has manufactured a specific ‘repair kit’ for just this scenario.   this repair cost me over $2,600, including a three day car rental for a period where i could no long beg rides to work and had to rent a car at my own expense.  attached are the repair and rental car bills. in my 40 years of car ownership, including several new cars, i have never heard of such significant issue being experience in a vehicle with such low mileage, 61,800, on a well and regularly maintained vehicle.  therefore, i respectfully request that your administration review this incident and record them as a part of a larger case designed to encourage chrysler ‘do the right thing’ and initiate a recall (silent or public) to correct this known transmission issue.

Car is stalling unexpectedly when slowed down or stopped at an intersection. towed twice. taken car to three different mechanics, including the chrysler dealership. paid over $1000 and still stalling. first two mechanics could not figure it out so took to dealership. they stated it was the throttle body and back brakes. paid $960, picked up and didn't even make it home before it stalled twice. not easily restarted. this car stalled on me, while 5 months pregnant and two small children in the car while turning left across the lane of oncoming traffic and another time so my husband in the middle of a busy intersection. i have researched that this is or has happened to many chrysler owners and was rated low risk and not recalled. i would love to know how this is low risk?

The heater on the driver's side barely warms up works and there's no heat on the passenger side. only cold air blows no matter what setting i have it on. this is not good in the winter months when is -2 degrees and the heater doesn't work on one side i was told the heater core was plugged and it can cost between $800-$900 to fix this is a known issue with chrysler and it should be recalled.

I am writing this complaint in response to my 2012 200 chrysler which has completely lost all power. it started out with the windshield wipers stopping on me and then one day while driving the car i lost power. the steering wheel locked up and the car came to a complete stop. luckily i wasn't on the highway and was pulling into the parking lot of my office building. after speaking with chrysler i was told there was nothing they could do since this part is no longer covered under warranty. it seems strange to me that this part on my car had a recall for the software a few years ago and now the hardware is bad. i see a ton of complaints on this very issue including a lawsuit. if safety is of concern, it would seem like they would anything in their power to help the consumer.

There is no heat on passenger side so the defrost does not work and it affects visibility when driving.

I bought my 2012 chrysler 200 in 2013. i 've had a recurring problem with the engine running hot because some malfunction prevents the coolant from circulating through the engine. i have spent over $2000.00 trying to fix this problem and now my mechanic tells me the engine is no good and i'll need a new one. this happens when i'm driving. the car would run hot, i'd tow it in and my mechanic would fix it. and within a month or two, the problem would occur again. my mechanic ran diagnostics, he rebooted the computer systems and he gets the coolant flowing again but within weeks or a month the same problem reoccurs. i don't drive far to work approx. 10 miles daily commute. i may take a road trip on occasion but there is no unusual wear or tear on the vehicle. im reporting this problem aug 2016 but this has been a recurring issue over the years and the car is just for years old. i bought it used in 2013. i've spent so much money fixing the same problem and the car's problem always seems resolved until a few months down the road i have to fix it again. i haven't even paid the car off and its kaput and ready for the graveyard? this really is something chrysler needs to step up to the plate and fix. i need a new engine now and i've already spent over $2000.00 trying to fix this issue.

Engine shuts off while driving down the road. it happens on the freeway, on city streets, or at idle. we had the pcm updated in december 2016. it is now march 2017 and the vehicle continues to shut down while driving or at idle. it is extremely dangerous. the brakes barely work and you lose power steering when this happens. this is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. there are hundreds if not thousands of posts online about this issue, with no resolution. this needs to be addressed before someone dies.

I have to replace my brakes every 2 to 3 months and it has become very costly for me. i have to replace my rotators twice a year.

The passenger side heating vents blow cold air and the windshield will not defrost on that side causing a safety hazard. not to mention i live in montana and it's seriously cold then having cold air blowing in the car is horrible.

I received notice of recall s61 for replacement of occupant restraint controller in november 2016. i registered to be told when repairs could be made with mopar.com as of this date i am told the parts for this repair are still not available i believe adequate amount of time has been given to the company to secure the parts. can you facilitate this for me?

I received a recall notice months ago and have had not response to checking and or repairing recall parts and or no contact, i have registered at recalls. mopar. com with no response to date (waiting months)

My car received a software update for the pcm on 3/2/2017. on 03/6/2017 my car shut off completely in the middle of driving down the interstate.

While driving the car.. the cars electrical system stopped working. while driving on the freeway the car shut down and was almost in severe car accident because of the issue.there is a new battery and the alternator has been checked and is in great working condition.

I'm driving the car just shuts off, it seems to be something with the pcm that were to replace. this was very scary and dangerous. this happened in the middle of the intersection traffic flowing and the car stops. it's hard to turn or brake to get out the way of coming traffic.

Takata recall/air bags. i received notice of a recall (ca recall #s61) on 9/13/16. website is showing the replacement part is still unavailable as of today 2/11/17. i would think after five months the parts should be available. i'm very unhappy with this situation.

The passenger side of my defrost/vents does not work--it remains cold even on high heat and driver side hot. the windshield and passenger window remain foggy or ice covered, or after removing the fog or ice it rebuilds fog or ice while traveling on highways while snowing, extremely limiting visibility. this winter has been quite difficult to drive safely due to this condition.

The heat on the passenger side is no longer working and therefore the windows on the passenger side will not defrost. after performing some research online it appears that this is an issue with the heater core that chrysler knows about.

There is no heat on the passenger side of the vehicle. chrysler service diagnosed the problem as a blockage in the heater core. they advise that they needed to replace the heater core, radiator, oil cooler and flush the system. this work was estimated at $2,700. i took the car to another shop and had the heater core replaced, the cooling system flushed and a manual flush on the engine block. this fixed the problem for more than half the cost. there are a lot of complaints about this same issue and it is a safety hazard if you cannot defrost the windshield when necessary. i believe you can be ticketed for not having safe visibility when operating your vehicle so this is defect that that chrysler should consider issuing a safety recall for. my car only has 72,000 miles so it's hard to believe that a major component like the heater core would be damaged and not work properly.

No heat/ defrost passenger side. will not clear frost/ fog on passenger side windshield. apparent known problem with sludge build up in heater core allegedly caused by component in coolant.

I have replace the air actuator door twice what seems to be the problem with this he keeps breaking making a clicking sound

Driver side active head restraint deployed while vehicle was stopped a convenience store, with the engine running, hitting the driver on the back of the head and startling him. vehicle was not involved in an accident of any kind. head restraint could not be reset and broken plastic pieces could be seen in headrest.

With the wipers on, all of a sudden, they will start to skitter across the windshield then stop and start again then speed up and slow down. if they are turned off the wipers will continue to run then finally stop halfway in the glass then finally goto the resting position. this occurs randomly at any time of year. i have had the wiper switch replaced hoping that the relay in the switch assembly was the issue but the problem still persists.

Notification for recall 16v-668 with no solution involving pretensioner airbag deployment where airbags will not deploy was reported 2 years prior to official notification of recall 16v-668. this was due to a front-end crash in 2014 where there were two passengers and the airbags did not deploy. the crash involved a nose dive going approximately 40mph into a 2-story gully directly hitting a large oak tree with no airbag deployment. this crash and the airbags not deploying was reported to asheboro chrysler dodge jeep ram service department in 2014 with no solution or knowledge of issue. official notification was provided in december 2016 through the usps. *tr

I have reported in the past in regard to our 2012 chrysler 200 with 3.6 v6 engine of episodes of pmu shut down while driving at slow speed. the manufacturer warranty still covered the vehicle when we first experienced this problem we now are over 60,000 miles as chrysler has not been able to resolve this problem yet. the engine quit while driving (3 times additional times), at highway speeds. we were able to get to the shoulder of the highway , without power steering and brakes; all computer support systems failed, but all electrical systems still worked. the problem has been checked 4 times after each of the stalling episodes, the pmu computer shows no codes (per chrysler and the dealer) there is no problem to fix. the last episode the esc dash lite came on, followed by the brake and the abs lights started flashing on & off which caused the speedometer to bounce up and down while the ability to maintain speed or accelerate to maintain speed was lost(again there were no codes) the last 2 times this happen were 11/30/16 & 12/1/16. i have talked to chrysler fiat but the dealer ani i have not been able to receive any service or suggestion in resolving this pmu problem. it feels like they are not concerned that there is a great safety issue that could result in injury or death. there should be some information available, as this has been a problem that have been ongoing for many models with the 3.6 v-6 engine and over a number of years, which chrysler has issued customer service notices to dealers and replaced pmu. recalls have been avoided as there has not been any serious accidents, injuries, or deaths. if you have had this type of problem with your 3.6 v6 contact chrysler and the nhtsa.

After owning my car for only a few months the check engine light came on and a minute later the electronic throttle control light and then the electronic stability control light. after taking my car to kendall dodge chrysler jeep ram 5 times, an independent auto shop once and another visit to the dealership where the car was purchased my car is still having issues shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd. at least that's what the auto shop told me the problem is, with the transmission. i hit the gas and the car clunkers and jerks like a manual car when i'm just lightly pressing on the gas. the car doesn't even have 52,000 miles. i've had it less than a year and half the time it's been in and out of repair shops. *tr

The headlight illumination of the 2012 c/200 is driving blind at night and dangerous. there is an extremely limited field of vision and feels like driving with curtain over the lights. the light aims real low and the bulb is too small. using high beam is not much better. several times i came very close to hitting another car and person. i feel like i am driving blind and have confined myself to not driving at night. there has to be a remedy for this problem. *tr

There was a recall on the airbag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability on my car that started on october 1, 2016. when i got the recall notice in october it said that there was no current remedy. it's now december and there still is no remedy which means that the problem won't be fixed in the foreseeable future which is outrageous. if our lives are at risk because a car company can't get off its ass and fix this, then the government needs to intervene. i don't feel safe driving my car because in the back of my mind i know that it might not protect me completely if i get in a crash which should not happen. this needs to be fixed now. *tr

I have been tiwed twice a d stuck on side of the road 4 times. i'll be driving along when everything just quits. engine, power steering and power brakes. one time i was just about to get on a highway. couldn't get car 100% off road. very dangerous. when i try to restart car it trys to start. i let go of key and cajr just keeps trying to start. after being towed twice car started right up. so when it quits i give it about 10-15 minutes and it starts. googled and people having same problem. upon investigating i found that chrysler, jeep has been having this problem since 2011 and did a recall on the 2015s. if they know there is a problem, why aren't they fixing it??

Engine keeps shutting off in traffic, at stop sign. check engine light keeps coming on and off. car shut off on me in middle of traffic which put me at risk for being in a bad accident. this is my only means of transportation and i fear for my stay everytime i'm driving my vehicle.

Head rest on the front passenger side deployed on its own. looks like the peace of plastic that held the head rest together broke. this was plastic on metal rod. at the time when this happen no one was sitting on the sit. we would of had a very bad head injury if someone would have been there.

This is a problem that started with the prior owner of the vehicle but the connecting rods in the engine are failing the hazard switch does not work and the traction control does not work i noticed atleast the connecting rod was a safety recall and vin specific it was noticed when the cam shaft started making noise due to debris

2012 chrysler 200 engine dies without warning when driving. restarts after 45 to 60 min. car dies anytime, in heavy traffic on 2 occasions - no power steering, very hard brakeing and nearly causing accident. died in freeway traffic

The abs and terrain lights stay on, when car reaches 60 mph it pulls.

Transmission is going after just 8 years old!!!!!

The car consistently stalls out at least 4-6 times a trip in the middle of driving, if not more. it also honks on its own during that time. it was brought to the dealership and a shop and they couldn’t find anything wrong

I just had my car pre purchase inspected and it was reported to be in great condition. then all of the sudden my engine has stalled twice in the last 72hours, when coming to a stop. i am able to turn it back on, however fear for my safety now whenever i drive it. these exact issues have been reported with other 2012 chrysler 200 models, due to connecting rod bearing failure and i believe this model has been similarly effected. i feel like i should be entitled to a engine recall as well, due to the identical issues that i am experiencing.

My abs light has turned on.and my abs isn't working.also my radio also is only working intermittently.

The electrical throttle light keeps coming on and the car shuts off. *tr

I left my home, in my vehicle which had been running completely normally with no dash lights on, overheating, leaking, etc. i live on a dangerous road (it’s extremely curvy, dark, has a high accident rate and no shoulders just 12ft. deep concrete ditches on both sides. i left home around 9:35pm and made it approx. .5-1 mile and braked slightly to take a sharp curve, and with no warning my engine stalls completely (also causing loss of power steering). i was doing roughly 25-30 mph. when the engine died. the loss of power steering caused me to be unable to keep my vehicle safely in my lane on this sharp turn (i was just lucky that the oncoming lane was clear). luck is also all that prevented me from breaking down awkwardly positioned right in a dark blind curve. i was able to coast on what little speed i had left, to one of the only safe pull offs on my road ( i barely had enough momentum to do that, and it was just by chance that i was by the spot where it was possible to get out of the roadway. i have seen well over 50 online complaints so far, of owners of 2012 chrysler 200’s who have suffered failures practically identical to mine. my vehicle had been in for regular maintenance/oil change just a week or so prior to this, the inspection revealed no issues needing attention. the car runs perfectly normal right up to the moment you loose all power and your ability to steer with any precision or speed. this problem is obviously fairly common in this vehicle, seriously impairs your ability to control the car suddenly and without warning, causes no check engine warning therefore no error code to diagnose by, and depending on your circumstances and luck at the time could either cause a giant inconvenience or a serious tragedy. chrysler already recalled for a nearly identical issue but only included the 2015 models. they need to address this before someone dies. *tr

When i turn on the heat, the passenger side vents blow cold air. this is a problem to drive using my air/heat because it’s draining my coolant. this causes my temperature gage to rise. this happens regardless of my car being stable or in motion. this, at times, also causes my windshield to become foggy. *tr

Vehicles stalls while driving randomly, this could be 5 minutes or 2 hours after vehicle is driven, and after vehicle sits for a while, 1/2 hour to an hour, vehicle starts right up with no check engine light or any history/pending/current codes.. dealership has already replaced the fuel pump but problems persists. have seen many similar cases of this vehicle stalling and then it starts right up after sitting for some time. *tr

There was cold air coming out of the passenger side air vents. this would take a significant amount of time to defrost the windows. the air was about as cold as the static outside air temperature. the drivers side air would eventually heat up the entire windshield to safely drive. however, if it was below 20°f outside the drivers side heat would not be hot enough to keep the passenger side window defogged. this posed a lot of safety concerns cursing along the highway. later, this was deemed to be a clogged/faulty passenger side heater-core which had to be replaced. after this was replaced the passenger side air is about as hot as the drivers side now. the defrost times are equal on both sides during cold starts and visibility is back to normal. the mechanic recommends doing an annual cooling flush to prevent the heater core from becoming faulty in the future. although they said even that isn’t a guarantee to solve the issue entirely. apparently the heater core has a critical design issue. *tr

The car randomly loses power along with the power steering and cuts off. i could be driving for 30 mins and it’ll be just fine then out of no where it may cut off at stop light, while i’m decelerating or even trying to gas up. it has cut off numerous times on the highway without any warning or light and i’ll only know by the sudden loss of power steering or noticing the rpm gauge dropping to 0. sometimes it’ll start up just fine right afterwards like nothing happened and sometimes it’ll take a minute or two to start up. it may start a right back up then cut right back off or it may start up and be fine until the next day. sometimes it only starts back up when i disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few seconds. *tr

While driving car shut off. also windshield wipers not working properly. *tr

A recall was issued by the manufacturer for the emissions system and we brought the car in for repair. we we're told that the parts were on back order and we would have to have it done later. now, seven months later. upon contacting the dealership, they have the vehicle listed as complete without any repairs.

Heater hose line clogs up with sludge, this is then causing no heat on passenger side , no defrost, and little heat on drivers side. this issue makes driving a hazard as the car will completely fog up make visablilty poor. this issue take about 30 min of running the car before drive to barley take the chill off the car.

My seat pops out sometime when driving. it happens anytime whether in motion or stationary hence the airbag light is on.

Drivers side head rest deployed while vehicle was parked, it is very fortunate that this happened while no one was sitting in the chair at that time. my question is, will this also happen with the drivers side head rest?

The window controls on the drivers door stopped working. none of the windows will roll down. the car was not in motion or in any accident, they just stopped working

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the front driver side door started to smoke. the contact stated the she attempted to extinguish the fire with water however, she was unable. the fire department was called and extinguished the fire. the contact a disable person, was scared for her safety and the safety of others. the contact called the dealer where she schedule an appointment and later taken the vehicle to lone star chrysler dodge jeep ram dealer, (8811 interstate 35 access rd, san antonio, tx 78211) but was not diagnosed or repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that now the driver side door failed to lock. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent out a third party and the contact was informed that the door was badly burned and there was noting else they could do. the failure mileage was approximately unknown.

Heat is not coming out of right side vents, blowing cold air. took to dealer and they found an issue with the heater core and it needs to be replaced. there's a build up of brown sludge in the cooling system. car has 68000 miles on it. this will be the second replacement. last one was replaced at 37,000 miles.

The heater core become clogged preventing air flow, to defrost the windshield on the passenger side of the car. i even did the regular scheduled coolant flushes to prevent this from happening, and it still happened. it becomes dangerous as the vehicle heater core becomes so backed up that not even a full heater core flush can save it. i have read on line that this is a issue that happens to a lot chrysler vehicles, and it sounds as if it has to do a lot to with the car was manufactured through the sand cast process. the car has overheated also has a hard time keeping the car warm because of the clogged heater core. this problem has effected many of the 200 vehicles , and im surprised that a resolve has not be brought out yet., it almost got me in a accident on the turnpike because i couldn't defrost the windows.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving 35 mph the steering wheel ceased and the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle after five minutes. while driving and making a left turn the vehicle stalled again. while attempting to start vehicle there was abnormal ticking noise detected. the abs and traction control warning lights were illuminated. additionally, the speedometer was inoperable. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 114,000.

I think my car has electrical issues window start and stop working . i replaced a headlight and it starts and stops working at one point my started stopped and started working. my headrest deployed on passenger side while driving and it’s a big space now on it

While driving the vehicle in 30 degree weather, started smelling something very bad coming from hvac system and windows became very foggy. i had to roll the windows down with the defrost on in order to see. vision was still impaired. after letting it sit, a film appeared on the inside of the windshield, which is hard to remove. further impairing vision. prior to this, heat on the passenger side stopped working so the passenger side of the windshield would not defrost quickly. currently have it in the shop. they are guessing it's the heater core, a known issue with this vehicle. estimated cost starting at $900.

Fuel pump failure, triggered heavy gasoline smell in the car suffocating breathing

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.

Car would not accelerate over 20 miles and hour after the traction control and abs light came on. the car then rapidly accelerated and worked fine until i reached work. when driving home it did it again and wouldn’t resolve itself. i took it to the chrysler dealer and 1 week and 1,200.00 later they informed me my car was fixed and that a faulty sensor was the issue and that it was very common.

Car stalled out while driving. this happened several times. sometimes while driving on a straight road and sometimes when making a sharp turn to park. car horn also started going off on it's own while driving. had to have the tipm module replaced. this is a safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that passenger side blower failed to blow hot air which caused the defroster to become inoperable. as a result, there was limited visibility for the driver. the vehicle was taken to pat clemmons inc located at 1720 s. marshall st. boone ia, (515)432-5150 to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the heater coil needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000.

Started with the abs and traction control lights coming on, my cruise control stopped coming on and a week later i pulled out of the bank and stopped alone side of the curb and the car just shut off, no restarting at all nothing happens, the right info panel said no bus, its at the chrysler dealer ship now and they can find nothing wrong with it at all, even though it wont come on.

I own a 2012 chrysler 200, i love my car; however, the head lights are pointing towards the ground making it almost impossible to see anything in front of me while driving. i've changed replaced the headlight bulbs as well as cleaned the headlamp. unknown 2. during the winter months my car makes the grinding noise when starting up.

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.

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.

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.

Our car started over heating & smoke started coming out, the car was beeping & the gauge for the heat was sky rocketing to the h. white smoke started coming out of the left side of the engine & then the car was making a knocking sound. at the stoplight waiting to turn our car ended up shutting off & not starting.

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

2012 chrysler 200 6xx,xxx miles. car will shift to neutral while in operation; shifts out of gear when accelerating causing several near accidents while in traffic. has left vehicle immobile in roadway.

The battery light in my car continues to come on even after having the battery replaced as well as the alternator replaced. also the internal lights inside of my car began to blink like crazy, air conditioner was coming on/off, and the lights even shut off at one point almost as if the car couldn't control itself. i do not feel safe driving it.

To start off the abs and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything . almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the e brake and start grinding . no matter how many times i change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking . lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and i had to replace it . my speedometer just died on me today and i have no clue how that happened .

Heat partially operational only driver side.when going up to 70 m/h only cold air come out of vents . a/c not working no leakage after garage inspections .

The catalytic converter was changed on tues., july 30, 2019 as the result of a recall notice from chrysler. was told after the replacement was done that i would smell burning a little for about a week until the new converter was broken in. i did smell this while driving. it was driven the following day for a total of approx. 80 miles. my lungs were affected badly. brought it back in to the shop (chrysler certified) next day, but no problems found. drove it one more day, but the pain in my lungs increased. since then, have not driven the car. was diagnosed by a doctor with asthma and put on a steroid inhaler. never had lung problems previously. chest x-ray and pulmonary tests normal. chrysler wants me to bring it to another certified shop for review, but it is far and would require towing. since then having a lot of pain in my lungs 3 weeks later. i believe it is because of the new catalytic converter.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving various speeds and shifting gears, the vehicle shut off without warning. when the vehicle was shut off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. the contact took the vehicle to steve landers chrysler dodge jeep ram (401 colonel glenn plaza loop, little rock, ar 72210, (501) 404-9103) where it was diagnosed and an unknown part was repaired. the diagnosis and repair specifics were not disclosed. the failure recurred after the repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,000. the vin was unknown.

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

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.

So two weeks back on on sept. 19 my car broke down... which i don't get because dealership said due too improper lubrication in the engine, always changed my oil and filter and coolant or anything needs to be replaced at said mileage. also in told me cylinder 4 by dealership was my problem till it blown always kept oil same and heard about it never tried to drive it till i found out why i have this problem... was told s.o.l !!! so now have no car to get my kid or work walk and ask for rides and still making payments for this only have 109,614 miles on for something that should of happened at 200,000 miles or more i take care of my car thing was my joy for work or my kid so please help me understand why....

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

The head rest is detached from the seat and is very unsafe

Differential exploded while pulling away from a curb into the road, no traffic, no excess accelaration

While driving i started to coast to take sharp turn and engine died, no power steering and no brakes. couldn't turn and ran off the side of the road. this is a major issue.

I’ve replaced my headlights twice now.. both left and right.

Passenger side heater stopped working. vehicle turns off while in drive and moving.

While driving my vehicle back the office from my lunch break, i made a right hand turn onto the main road and began to accelerate the vehicle with more gas. at about 35mph the car engine completely shut off and i had to coast to the side of the road with no power steering. i had to wait approximately 20 mins until my car would restart again. i was able to get back on the road until after another few hundred yards of driving the car stalled again completely. i was then forced to call a tow truck to have it taken to an auto shop.

Takata recall power loss hesitation stalls engine light codes p0300 p0306 says cylinder 6 misfire had to go to dealer cause nothing fixes it idle is ok driving it hesitates engine losses power replaced all on code list won’t fix has many complaints on this and chrysler can’t figure it out why is it there is not an investigation going on people have to keep paying out of pocket on a defect in the mitsubishi 3.6l flex fuel gas motor

I was traveling 55 mph on the highway my tire blew out an the fender blew off but somehow the cars whole engine wiring system was ripped out of the car in which the whole car went completely dead of all electricity thankfully i was able to pull on shoulder of highway before the car stopped rolling.

2 complaints/concerns: 1) this affects the 2012 chrysler 200 i purchased used with 62,500 miles. it's been well documented all over the internet and at chrysler dealerships how the 2012 chrysler 200 was part of a group of vehicles with faulty antifreeze from the factory. this antifreeze breaks down and will clog the heater core, radiator, and transmission oil cooler. the recommended repair, from chrysler, is to replace all of these listed parts at a cost of about $2500.00. chrysler knows about this problem, but refuses to do anything about it. my car is at a chrysler dealership as we speak having these repairs made. 2) this one i have not experienced, but i also see a large number of reports where the pentastar v6 equipped in a number of these vehicles will suddenly shut off. many of these cases are when the cars are in motion. this is a serious safety concern. issue seems to be centered around a pcm, but there is no recall of any kind on this.

Sudden stall on the highway, completely died on the slop of the beginning of the bridge on april 4,2019 and april 11, 2019

Catalytic conventor isn’t ready to pass inspection, i seen some possible recalls for fav but haven’t received a notice...

I had the transmission rebuilt by chrysler 2014, it has been back to chrysler twice since then and they say nothing is wrong. it is now out of warranty and the transmission is slipping again. the car also has some electrical system issues, the radio will just stop working and the lights will dim.

The heater on my 2012 chrysler 200 convertible does not work. the air blows, but it is not warm. i do not have that problem on the driver's side. my dealer tells me i need my heater core, among other things, replaced, which will cost approximately $1500-$2000.. in researching this problem, i find it's the number one complaint with this make and model. my car currently has approximately 80,000 miles on it.

Takata recall the tipm has malfunctioned car will not function of start

My chrysler 200 died while driving--still had power, but engine died. the first time,6/8/19, we thought it was a cam sensor-that was the code it threw at the mechanic. we replaced it. then the battery light came on. the battery was good, but the alternator wasn't-so we replaced the alternator. drove it for 2 days & it died again, 6/16/19. took it back & the same cam sensor code is popping up but sensor is still good. got it back, drove it another 2 days & it died again, 6/22/19. towed it back to shop & mechanic cannot duplicate the problem after a week. have it back 1 day & car dies again, 6/29/19. several complaints here mention the car engine dying for no reason, but still have power. we've been lucky-we haven't been on a highway when it's died. each time, we've been driving around the city & making a turn & the traffic flow has been slow. sometimes we've been at a complete stop-others we have not. being that this seems to be a repetitive complaint, why hasn't a recall been issued on the vehicle??

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. when the vehicle was started, the check engine indicator illuminated and remained lit. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who dianosed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 196,000.

The passenger side heater and defroster stopped working. it is a known heater core issue caused by faulty coolant causing sludge build up in heater core. mechanics know of this, chrysler knows of this. without a fix the windows can struggle to maintain visibility, and maintain heat levels. the fix is to replace the heater core and/or radiator. which can be $1200-$1800, here is a web link to a multitude of complaints http://m.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/200/2012/ac_heater/heater_doesnt_work_passenger_side.shtml

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the heat and defroster stopped working. the vehicle was taken to landmark dodge chrysler jeep ram (1900 s noland rd, independence, mo 64055) four times, and each time the heater cooler was replaced. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 78,000.

Takata recall- when driving car pulls back almost as if there is some type of transmission problem. there’s shifting gears issues. aa if it’s confused as to what gear it wants to go into.

My horn started honking on it own. i first noticed it when i was outside the car and had not touched it, the horn started honking. i got in the car and it stopped. every time i drive the car the horn honks on its own, sometimes long honks other times brief. the next thing it started raining and the wipers would not work properly they would swipe halfway and stop, only working when on high. finally i was driving home and the car stopped in traffic. i sat for a few minutes and started it and it would stop after moving for about an inch. the car stopped three or four times and finally i was able to drive the 2 or 3 miles to my home and park.

I purchased a new 2012 chrysler 200. in dec-2015 at 46,000 miles the heater quit working correctly. the dealership said the heater core was clogged and needed to be replaced for about $1200. even though the car was passed its 36,000 mile warranty chrysler paid for the repair. i believe because they knew they had sold a bad product. 3 years later (dec-2018) at 76,000 miles the same problem occurred. the dealership is now saying the whole coolant system (heater core, radiator, hoses, thermostats and engine flush) needs to be replaced at a cost of $3600. maintenance schedule says coolant good for 5 years and 100,000 miles. first failure at 3 years and 46,000 miles. second failure at 3 years and 30,000 miles. chrysler refuses to accept responsibility or help with repairs.

I was driving on the expressway and my car died without any warning. i brought it to the dealership and they said i had oil in the injectors. they cleaned it up and sent me on my way for $715. not even a month later i’m still having the same issues and now sometimes it’s not starting. so another repair shop changed the battery and starter, after the work they run some tests and say that i have a bad tipm to bring it back to the dealership. i bring it back to them and they want around $1800 now for this repair. i called chrysler and spoke with them about this and they refused to help in any way with this situation even though we are loyal dodge family customers(on our 5th vehicle). the reviews online show many people having this issue and it is a very dangerous and scary experience having your car die in the middle of the expressway with no power steering. i definitely think there should be a recall for this part to save the lives of others on the roadways. thanks in advance

Known issue with heater core results in not only comfort issues, but driving hazard, as the defroster is also impacted. heat does not flow from passenger side defroster, resulting in lack of visibility. this has happened more than one time while driving, including instances of total blockage of view on right side of windshield.

I bought my car brand new in 2012 from chryaler dodge and jeep in springfield pa. i babe around 96,000 miles on my car and this will now be the third alternator that has been put in my vehicle. from what i know, the alternator should last up between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. i believe there has to have been a defect with my specific car. along with some of the other recall items i am now reading about with my model, having kids, i am increasingly concerned about my health and saftey driving this vehicle. i want to know what can be done about this on your end

Transmission would not go into reverse.kept going to park. could not backup03

Engine shuts off on highway going full speed limit surrounded by heavy traffic. i was terrified. the engine light comes on & can't get car started. then car starts & engine light goes away. not to mention transmission is leaking & new transmission was put in 2015. chrysler can't get me in until 4/19/18 bc its busy season. this may be why windshield wipers come on everytime i turn left.

I purchased my 2012 chrysler 200 in 2013. after driving my 200 for a couple years,i notice in the wintertime ,the right side of the windshield was very slow to defrost. fast forward to 2017 i notice the passenger side was blowing cold air,the driver side was slightly warm.after doing a little research i found that the chrysler has problems with 2012 model heater cores. chrysler needs to recalled this model year due to the fact there is not enough heat to defrost the windshield.

The heater core gets clogged up and your windshield visibility will not be cear. thia will cause unsafe driving measures.no heat my car blows out vool air only.

No heat on passenger side of vehicle, blows cold air. however, there is heat on driver's side. i took it to dealership broke heater door/actuator. i get to the part that needs repair i was given a quote of $650 to remove dashboard- labor cost., repair/replace cost is not part of the $650. reviews show there have been numerous complaint with this same problem for 2012 200 chrysler. it 's a safety issue because passenger side windshield does not defrost because of cold air being blown out . . . doesn't clear the windshield in cold weather nor does it keep windshield clear in rainy weather. why hasn't a mandatory recall been issued to to manufacturer to correct/replace part. car has approximately 75,000 miles. blows cold air both when stationary and while in motion on all, road ways, all the time no matter if i am turning, braking or driving straight --- no heat on passenger side.

System heating. when turning on the heat, the system blows cold air on two mid air vents and the passenger side vent. the only heat that is felt coming from drivers side vent. brown or tan sludge in recovery tank and on radiator cap

Passenger side pushes out cold air, terrible to drive in and uncomfortable. battery has been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years. alternator as well. while driving to work, my windshield frosted over from being so cold and i had to veer off the road to avoid getting into an accident.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that there was no failure with the horn operating until the vehicle was serviced for an unspecified manufacturer recall regarding the air bags. months after the air bag recall was serviced by massey yardley jeep chrysler dodge ram (777 north state road 7, plantation, fl 33317, 954-327-4000), the horn failed to function properly and various warning indicators flashed on the instrument panel without warning. the contact was waiting for a response from the dealer to determine if they could duplicate the failure. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 46,000. *tt*jb

Only when heater is on, whether on defrost or front vents, blows cold air thru just the passenger side vents. it happens when the car is on.

Heating and cooling. when turning on the heat, the system blows cold air on the passenger side. then if the car is in idle for a little while then both sides blows out heat. but more often, when the heat is on, it blows out cold air.

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.

The heater on the passenger side of the car is not heating up and blows very cold air making it hard to defrost the window to see when driving

Engine light came on, had battery replaced since the battery was about 6 years old. car has only 29582 miles on it. seemed to fix then while driving 3 miles later battery light came on again. decided to take to dealer the mext morning. then while driving to dealership the car began to rapidly lose functionality while warning lights were appearing on the dashboardone by one until it car lost power while driving. the time from no warning lights to complete loss of electrical functionality was approximately 2 minutes. the shut down included an abrupt loss of power steering and braking capabilities while driving on a busy street during day. i was able to quickly compensate for the loss of power steering and braking and stop the vehicle while drifting into a gas station parking lot. attempts to restart the vehicle involved no clicking or the engine attempting to turn over. had car towed to dealership. i can only assume ot may be the alternator since battery is brand new now. i am wondering if this is part of campaign #17v-435 but my car is a chrysler 200 3.6 engine 6 cylinder touring convertible and that recall does not show 200's on the notice. i have not gotten any recall noticies for this type of problem.. i bought car brand new. i am the only owner and faithfully take my car to the dealer for maintenance and oil changes.

Bought the car new, on day 2 at around 80 miies, the front brake warped the passenger side front rotor ,car could barely stop.took it to the dealer and was told it was a faulty rotor, dealer replaced at no charge, approx 3 months later the same thing happened, the dealer replaced both front rotors and said that chrysler had a bunch of faulty rotors. tried to avoid driving the car anywhere that had any large hills or mountains. moved to florida shortly after the last repair and thought the dealer had actually fixed the problem, but in 2016 i went back to pa. for a vacation and the first time i drove in the mountains, i had the same brake problem, i had to avoid the mountains. got home, i replaced everything in the front brakes but the master cylinder and abs system., thought this time it had to be fixed. then in the fall of 2017 we had to evacuate the state of florida due to a hurricane and we went to north carolina to stay for 5 days. the first big hill we encountered on the freeway the same problem happened, the front of the car vibrated badly and the brakes couldn't hold the car back. still not working properly very worried about the brakes and still have to avoid mountainous areas. was quoted a price of approx. $750-$800 to fix. have already spent $350 to fix it.

Vehicle shuts off while driving. this happened 3 times in less than 3 years. driving vehicle and instrument panel lights up and vehicle shuts down. 1st time - july 2015, this happened coming into a roundabout - lost all power including steering and brakes. was lucky enough that no other vehicles were around. dealer replaced tipm. same thing happened less than 1 year later (april 2016). in a parking lot and vehicle just shut off. dealer replaced tipm again stating part failure - under warranty since was less than 1 year since replacement. now less than 2 years later on 12/26/17 vehicle shut off while driving 70mph on the highway! was lucky enough to be on 2 lane highway instead of 4 and able to get to the side of the road. took to dealer that purchased from (happened closer to that dealer than the one that previously had fixed). explained situation, that part was replaced before same thing happening. they said nothing wrong, couldnt find anything and sent me on my way - drove back roads because i was afraid to drive. not even 30 miles later and same thing happened. shut down while driving. able to restart vehicle every time. took to dealer that had fixed in the past. tipm failure again! this is 3 times that the part has failed. covered under warranty again - they said part warranty had been extended from 1 to 2 years. this is a known problem and definately a safety hazard!! i got the car fixed and traded it in the day i got it back! 3rd failure was at 113k miles. car purchased brand new in 2012.

Heat only coming from right side of car, any setting i use. heat only comes from right side of car. this seems to be a known issue on chrysler/dodge vehicles. this is a safety issue, cannot properly defrost car, windows ice over, unsafe to drive especially with children

The vehicle has lost most of its heating capabilities and will not defrost the windshield. this is extremely dangerous as we live in a cold climate during the winter and could cause an accident as well as causing the driver to be very uncomfortable while driving. i have read up on numerous complaints of this and i cannot believe there hasn't been a recall submitted by chrysler. i even had a past chrysler mechanic inform me that when he was working for a chrysler dealership that the dealership received a letter informing them that they would start to see this problem occuring with these vehicles. unbelievable! and yet no recall has been issued? this needs to be addressed for serious safety concerns before people are killed if it hasn't happened already.

Cold air blows out passenger side vents

There isn't any heat on the passengers side . the dealer said the heater core and the radiator also the thermostat' s . the said that chrysler puts in a chemical that's supposed to fill in any pin holes and now a couple of years later it becomes sludge and clogs up the heater core and everything else. and now i have a $2900 bill that i have to pay. it's not right for chrysler to do that to the public and get away with it.

Only heats on drivers side ,cold air only on passenger side

Service shift linkage message came on, what my dealer found, prndl display circuit shorted to ground replaced electronic shift module and reprogramed. @ a cost of 582.98

Passenger side heating and defrost not working and barely working on driver side. will not defrost causing trouble with visibility... there have been numerous complaints about this very same issue on "carcomplaints.com" the issue became noticeable when it state to get cold in november and december of 2017 around 68,000 miles

The entire heating system for the passenger side does not work. i can be stationary or on a roadtrip. i'm only able to defrost a small part of my windshield making it very unsafe to drive in the winter. i have seen other people with this issue that say it is a manufacture problem and costs around $1,700 to fix. that is unacceptable.

The convertible top motor is broken and the top will not go up or down. luckily it is broken in the up position. i have been trying to get the part replaced through chrysler and all they can tell me is that the part has been discontinued and no after market parts are even available. i bought this car in october 2016, because l wanted a convertible and now i have been without a working top since june 4,2017. i was parked in my driveway when l tried to put the top down and it would not work. i have been told by the chrysler dealership that the part number needed to fix this problem is #68028392aa.

I have talked to several people with chrysler 200 and the all have faulty heater core

Both the dash and passenger window defrosters on the passenger side of the car blows cold air. this is not just a comfort issue. the restricted visibility is very dangerous. i wish i would have known before i purchased this vehicle. there are hundreds of complaints online and the cost to fix is ridiculous. this needs to be a recall from chrysler.

Takata recall i am sure you have probably received hundreds of complaints regarding this issue, as i have researched it online & seen the long list of other frustrated owners. this is ridiculous, it is a known common problem that the heating core in these chrysler 200 on the passenger side does not work...it blows out cold air. temperatures are now below freezing. i do not see fairness that any owners have to spend a grand or more replacing something that obviously was malfunctioning in most of their vehicles & many complaints (including mine) have been sent to chrysler. this has been on an issue now since the season changed & it is cold. i do not have a grand to spend nor do i have warranty anymore .

Passenger side does not have any heat coming out of the vents, or defrosters. only the far driver side produces small amount of warmth. being that i live in wisconsin, it has become hazardous for me to drive my vehicle in the winter for obvious reasons. not being able to unfog, or defrost your windows is unbelievably dangerous! aside from the dangers of driving at times with only half of a clear windshield, my passengers and i freeze inside the vehicle during the winter! the only way to clear the windshield and passenger window is to periodically open the windows while driving, which only makes the inside temperature that much more unbearable.

Car has 70k miles and heat doesn't work on passenger side of car, windshield defrost does not work, drivers side heat works sparingly. 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. doing some research i am seeing this is a 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.

My stepdaughter's car (2012 chrysler 200), apparently has a bad tipm. took it to checker who diagnosed the "check engine" light which had come on and told us it was most likely the tipm. we then took it to the local chrysler dealer (earnhardt, chrysler, jeep, dodge, ram in gilbert, az) for an n38 recall issue (active head restraint/air bag) they told us they would reset the tipm module and we were hoping to have the issue resolved. it should be noted that before we took it for the recall issue, the car had seemed to be working fine and mysteriously the check engine light had turned off. well, lo and behold after they reprogrammed the tipm and did the air bag recall we picked up the car and my wife immediately noticed that the check engine light had reappeared and the car was once again driving like shit! i came home and started doing research and found this webpage that told me to file complaints, however, i also noticed that there was apparently a software patch that chrysler came out with as a result of this problem. i called chrysler @ 800-992-1997 thinking i might get someone who could give me more information but of course this hapless character didn't know what the hell i was talking about in reference to a "software patch" he did call the dealership we were just at for the recall, but of course, got nothing but an answering machine. he told me he left a message and they would call back monday to talk about our concerns. i'm not holding my breath waiting for the call. what bothers me most, and is extremely frustrating is the fact that thousands of people have contacted chrysler and other sources and have gotten nowhere.

As i was driving on the highway, the car shut down completely. the steering wheel locked and it would not restart. this is the third time this happens, and twice, the dealership tells me the there is nothing wrong with my car, but this keeps happening.

I have contacted the douglas chrysler dealer in venice fl to schedule repair of the occupant restraint controller - safety recall s61/nhtsa 16v-668. i was informed that chrysler releases about 1 part a week to this dealer, that there are about 20 to 30 people on a waiting list waiting for parts and that it will take a while before the vehicle is repaired. i am asking for your assistance in securing replacement parts faster from chrysler. thank you

Visibility on the passenger side of windshield is impaired (non existent) the defroster on the passenger side of the car no longer blows warm air instead cold air is being produced from the windshield vent and also heat from middle and side registers on the passenger side. dangerous for winters in ny. ridiculous amounts of complaints registered regarding this problem and many costly solutions not resolving the issue. this needs to be a recall from chrysler.

The heat blows out hot air on driver's side but only blows out cold air on the passenger side which will not defrost the windshield and makes it very hard to see which is a safety hazard.

The car accumulates debris below the windshield under the plastic tray which clogs up a drain tube which then makes the water flood back through the heater core into the passenger side of the car . wetting the floor soaking the carpet and causing rust and black mold. i had it fixed once, but after investigation into the chrysler cars that this is an on going problem with all their vehicles for yrs now. this needs to be recalled and this design flaw fixed. either they need to have free maintenance of this or they need to have a separate tube for rain drainage and a different tube for ac heat drainage.. it has cause depreciation of my over all resale value of this car plus caused carpet padding damage rust and possibly mold in my car.. chrysler keeps laying back on the owners saying maintenance problem .. and charging over 500 to fix it. it's not like an owner can easily clean this area it involves take apart the windshield wipers etc

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while the contact's husband was driving various speeds, the battery died and the mirrors, lights, and horn failed. the vehicle was taken to hilton head chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat (265 drivers way, hardeeville, sc 29927) where it was diagnosed that the alternator, generator, and battery failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v634000 (electrical system); however, the failure later recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure recurred; however, the vehicle was now included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v435000 (electrical system). both the dealer and manufacturer stated that the repair parts were not yet available. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 59,914.

The passenger side of the vehicle blows cold air while the heat is on. the driver side blows luke warm air, thus ineffectively heating the vehicle. i have been told this is a known problem with this model and is a defective heater core system. the estimated cost to fix is $900-$1200. living in michigan, and not having heat during the winter is a major concern for safety.

Takata recall unknown my car stalled out on the side of the road and i left it there to be picked up by my mechanic the next morning. i found out the next day that my car had been crashed and i went to the tow yard where the vehicle had been taken to retrieve my personal items from the vehicle and noticed that my airbags did not deploy. my car has been considered a total loss by geico car insurance. geico claim number [xxx]. i still have my title, it is a rebuilt one. geico has been taking their sweet time to reimburse me for my vehicle. the actual accident occurred on april 25th, 2017. the police report is inaccurate. today is august 30th, 2017 and i'm still waiting on a check. the tow yard has apparently become the lienholder so i've been told and geico has to pay them off before they can pay me? i don't know it's crazy. there would be no lien if geico had handled this in a timely manner. i have had to come out of pocket to purchase a cheap car in the meantime while i wait. i have just recently received emails from carfax saying that my car may be at risk of being recalled so i put in my vin number ([xxx]) and it says that my chrysler 200 2012 is a s61. however, i was aware the passenger seatbelts were locked but i was still able to wrap the driver's belt around me. furthermore, i've had numerous headlight issues in both headlights and the ac eventually stopped working. there was also a check engine light on that could not be turned off. i spoke with chrysler and they told me nothing can be done as far as reimbursement at this point because i have no possession of the vehicle. however, the title is still in my name and the possession issue is geico's fault. i am looking for some type of justice in this situation it could have been me in the crash. i am [xxx] and it says under federal law that my vehicle can be replaced. #16v-668 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

While driving at 40 miles per hour, the hood flew up, and back, into the window and marked the roof. we discovered that the hood release had been pulled earlier, instead of trunk release. my issue, after closing the now "sprung" hood, we tested the secondary "safety" latch, it did not hold

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the air bag warning light remained illuminated and the horn randomly sounded without warning. in addition, the vehicle randomly stalled numerous times. a pass time failure occurred and the dealer rewired the vehicle. a mechanic indicated that the tipm was faulty and may need to be replaced. the mechanic suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer for further inspection. the dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was uncertain as to why they indicated that the orc module needed to be replaced, but did not verify if the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v282000 (air bags and electrical system). the vehicle was not repaired. the contact was to check with the manufacturer to determine a repair solution for the vehicle. the approximate failure mileage was 89,444.

Airbag sensor light keeps coming on intermittently. i took to dealership, they said would be fee for doing sensor check. we called chrysler dealership and they said it was not under recall. i took to advance auto and they ran a sensor check for free for me and they said there were "zero" issues or problems which is not right because the light and dinging come on intermittently every few minutes when driving. what is strange is that it only happens when my husband is driving the car. when i drive it, it doesn't happen. the lady at the dealership said it was strange, but that the transmission recognizes different people driving and tries to adjust for it and maybe that was it? the other dealers said that was something they'd never heard of. meanwhile, they say there is nothing they can do if there is no sensor light appearing when i take it in, or not showing up on the error report from the scan. so, i am stuck with driving a car that constantly dings, lights come on, and when i read the manual it said "take to the dealership immediately if this happens!". it is scary, especially when i have my children and grandchildren in the car, to worry whether my airbag is going to explode at any given time without notice. i would sincerely request chrysler take care of this issue. *tr

Takata recall - i never received any information regarding this recall. i am just now (july 2016) experiencing the airbag warning light coming on and a warning tone being emitted randomly while i'm in motion. i'm interested to know if i can still take my car to the dealership to have it worked on under n38 13v282?

There was a recall on my vehicle i took it to the dealership in harrisonburg va to be repaired. they only fixed the active head restraints. my car failed a state inspection due to my airbag light illuminating. i have read that "certain" chrysler 200's 2012 they are to reprogram the tipm then replace the occupant restraint module if needed. they refused to replace this gave me an estimate of $400. i called chrysler and they also said my car was not recalled based on the vin and my issue. i am a single mother with two kids my car has 67,000 miles on it has never been wrecked or damaged and i believe chrysler should replace this. my car is only 4 years old an airbag should not become defective in 4 years. this exact issue is what other 2012 chrysler 200s have also. i am still unable to have my car pass a state inspection and i also informed chrysler that when passengers ride in that seat they are putting lives at risk by not acting quickly. it is dangerous and chrysler should recall all 2012 200's. it hey informed me the problem is in the dash i don't even feel safe driving my car what if my air bags don't deploy? i will live with that the rest of my life and chrysler should be held accountable for negligence. just because my vin number doesn't match at this time or the time frame they claim the defects were installed doesn't mean the part they installed isn't defective. i hope you all take this matter very seriously. this is a safety issue that could take or save lives.

The defroster only blows cold air. no matter what the temperature or fan are set at. thus making visibility when the windshield fogs up very poor. by the research that i have done it is because during the manufacturing process pin hole leaks were discovered in the radiator instead of replacing the affected part they put a stop leak formula in the heating system. this was an improper product and caused a sludge build up which irreparably destroyed the heater core. in addition to the defroster problem hot air only comes out of the drivers side vents while cols air comes out of the passenger side vents,

The vehicle shut off on me after making a brief stop in traffic. and then again while actually driving. the next day it shut off on me after a stop sign. absolutely no prior warnings were given of any problems. now the ck engine light comes on intermitantly. the stops cause loss of power steering and control of vehicle. (busy city street).

Dear sir/ madam: 11-08-15 a fire occurred at my house which was located at [xxx], on the above date, i parked my 2012 chrysler 200 in the garage and went to bed. approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour after retiring, i was awakened by a loud explosion and my neighbors beating on my front door to awaken me and my 21 year old grandson. he also was sleeping in another bedroom. when both of us attempted to escape from the house through the kitchen/garage entrance, we were met my heavy bellowing grey and black smoke that prevented our exit and almost overwhelmed us. several months later, i am yet suffering from the shock and emotional trauma. because of dealing with flashbacks, nightmares, intermittent waves of nervousness, deep sadness, feelings of grief/loss, periodic confusion, digestion issues, and numerous financial concerns, i am in professional counseling. i have been unable to write this letter until now. even now, a friend is assisting me with completing this communication. this is the second contact i have had with your corporation. the first was the morning after the fire, when my son called on my behalf from his cell phone. he was informed that there was no recall of this particular chrysler 200, however there were some known problems with the gas tank and ignition systems that were built between march and november of 2012. please understand. i lost my house, 23 long years’ worth of cherished belongings, and the car i recently purchased. i lost everything in the fire. i decided that,i would rather initially contact chrysler directly. my hope is that chrysler will understand the gravity of the situation and do the right thing without going through expensive attorneys.

Takata recall: there is a problem with the electronic throttle control light that causes the car to decelerate randomly, in combination with a ticking sound that comes from the air bag area of the glove box that is exacerbated by the ac and the heat being turned on. i feel that the car is unsafe to drive, although it says there is no open recall on these components. this happened several times to me on the expressway today.

I was merging on i-271s when suddenly check engine light came on and my car came to a complete stop (the engine was still running). i was not able to accelerate so i slowly maneuvered my car onto the shoulder. i turned off the car and re-started,but i couldn't still accelerate. i had the car towed 25 miles to a trusted mechanic. the next day i was told my him that the crankshaft position sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. i believe that the sensor issue is serious. without warning my car came to a sudden stop on major highway. by sheer luck i wasn't rear-ended and i didn't lose my life, or worse, my kids.

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

Can see bubbling thru paint on engine hood took to dealer was told aluminum hood is corroding

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" 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.

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!.

The heater does not blow hot air on the passengers side anytime

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!

My cars a/c heater blend door actuator has gone out. upon my research i see there are numerous chrysler 200 owners with the same problem. it is my understanding gm recalled the same part from the same manufacturer. shouldn't chrysler recall the part as well? the problem is persistent in the part continually clicks, cold air running through the vents when the heater is on.

I own a 2012 chrysler 200, the engine stops/fails about every two months while braking or while stopped. this is dangerous as it can stop anywhere and they might rear end the car or something. i have taken my car to the chrysler dealership 4 different times with the same issue, the first time they changed the pcm. after about 2 months the car's engine stopped while braking or while at a stoplight. the 2nd and 3rd time i took the car they did not find anything wrong with the car and gave it to me after a couple of days. the 4th time when i took the car they said that it was the battery and they put in a new battery. well about 2 days ago the car stopped again while at a stoplight. i have not taken the car to the dealership as they never find anything wrong with the vehicle. i am tired of them not finding what is wrong with the car. i believe that i speak for many chrysler 200 owners when i say that an investigation needs to be done for the whole chrysler group, especially to the 200, which have many complaints online and none one seems to find the solution. please investigate this for the safety of the drivers. i am so sick and tired of the mopar mechanics not finding anything. i do not know if the issue is with the pcm, computer, or engine. please investigate.

Chrysler 200 heating issue, hot air on the driver side cold air on the passenger side. i live in a northern state and in the winter especially during storms the windshield needs to be heated on both sides so that it doesn't ice up. this could become a potential hazard when your vision is restricted because you cant defrost your windshield due to a design flaw in the heater system that chrysler doesn't want to have to repair. how many have to be injured or killed in order for this to become a design issue and have a factory recall done. nothing has happen to us yet but today is the first storm of the season

My transmission is slipping and not performing the way it should. sometimes my car shifts hard and sometimes it won't shift out until it reaches 5 or 6000 rpms which is almost in the red zone. when going up a hill or incline it hesitates and jerks. i called several dealerships only to be told that there were multiple cars ahead of mine that were just sitting there with the same problem. i was told that they were waiting on a call from corporate to fix the problem. to this day it has not happened. also, my airbag light has been on for almost four months now. they said they did not have a fix for it yet. just recently there is a knocking noise coming from the passenger side dashboard. an ongoing problem has been the noise from the front brakes when i am backing up. i was told there was no fix yet for that problem. as of this day, there still is no fix for it. i am still driving my car because i can't just leave it to sit at the dealership waiting on repairs. as you all know, they do not give out loaner vehicles any more at least not in arkansas.

Van horn chrysler and dodge in plymouth wi. sold me a vehicle that was in a major front end accident. when they sold me the air the airbag was not attached. the steering was pulling to the right. the suspension was severely damage, it was so severe that when i took the car to chrysler, i spend money there to get the problems repaired. because van horn wouldn't pay for the repairs. after chrysler couldn't make the repairs, because the car had been in a major accident from the previous owner. chrysler referred me to the body shop, where i was out of pocket for another additional repair. i also forward this information to chrysler customer assistant 1-888-992-1997. my case number there is [xxx].they (chrysler customer assistant) said the car should have never been sold. they informed roy edwards van horn manger to get in touch with me to make a settle. which he hasn't as to 10/14/205. tom boweo was the person that i spoke with at milosch's palace collision center, lake orion mi.

On september 24, 2015, in the morning at 7;30am, heading to work. heading towards the pa turnpike. my chrysler 2012, hard-top converter car engine shuts down/ stalled without any warning. this is the second time that i have experienced this problem. last year, it happend in florida as well. i take it to the dealer in florida, and they did not find a cause. in both instances, i have to turn the car off and restart it. i'm concern about this problem because it is a safety concern while driving this car both on the local roads; as well as, the highways. i mostly used the pa turnpike to get to work every mornings. the other complaint i have as well is in the changing of the gear stick (from park to drive, and vice versa). at times, it is seems to be difficult to change gear. this is an automatic transmission drive system so it should not be so hard in changing gears.

We got recall p25/nhtsa 14v-234 i called the dealership in garden city long island ,ny tel 516 292 9764 to make an appointment, i have been there several times for oil change. i requested about this recall and there response- 1- oh we do not have part in stock, we will call you when we get the part, 2- on the phone they keep transferring the line, finally i end up with leaving message, but no call from them. 3-they keep you on hold so long that you have to hang up the phone. i do not know what to do. i feel this dealership is arrogant, irresponsible, unprofessional and danger to the car owners. i hope you take action immediately. i might be one case but there are millions of mini van like mine. thanks for your cooperation.

4 week agao i bought a chrysler 200, 2012. since i heard a noise in the front wheel. i bring it back to the dealer they said they fix it but still making the noise. please for my safety and our safety can you please push for a recall, because it is not only me with the same issue, things getting scary... please please

The steering column makes loud "popping" noises at low speeds and when turning the vehicle. it sounds like the steering column is going to snap. in addition, i had to have all of my lifters replaced in the engine due to a loud ticking noise coming from under the hood. lastly, the leather material is coming off of all of the doors in the vehicle, and the light for the emergency brake stays on even when the brake is not engaged. i despise driving the car and will never buy another chrysler.

While driving the battery light came on and electrical systems began to fail. radio, abs system, windows and ac all shut off. the car failed to accelerate properly and engine would not shift gears. braking and steering systems became compromised before car completely stalled and coasted to stop on side of road. approximately 2-3 minutes from battery light going on to the car becoming totally nonresponsive. car would not start, unless jumped. required tow. dealership states the issue was an alternator that shorted, and in turn burned out the battery. required the replacement of both the alternator and the battery at a cost of approximately $1100.00 (before negotiated discount of 10%).

I bought this car from a used car lot, just a month ago. someone told me about the recalls on it. and it has never been been fixed, i have a 2 yr warranty on it. do they fix or someone else. i'm scared about these recalls

I noticed after i purchased my vehicle in 2012, i started having issues with my car in 2013. my car started having heat coming from the bottom of my driver and passenger side. i ignored this issue but then it started happening more often. on my last oil change the dealer didn't fill my overflow for the antifreeze so i had a friend to fill it up. after filling the antifreeze he decided to turn on the engine. what happens next is that the antifreeze began to boil. this should not be happening. i made an appointment at the dealer and took it on yesterday. i was told it was the tipm which was shorted out and that the fan wasn't coming on like it should. the cost of this repair is $1275.00. i believe chrysler is aware of the issues and that they need to reimburse customers for this issue.

Power steering or steering assist does not always work

At a stop sign a woman stopped in front of him and he didn't stop quick enough

While driving, the car began to rapidly lose functionality while warning lights were appearing on the dashboard until it abruptly shut down while driving in traffic. the time from no warning lights to complete loss of functionality was approximately 10-15 seconds. the shut down included an abrupt loss of power steering and braking capabilities while driving on a busy street at night. i was able to quickly compensate for the loss of power steering and braking and stop the vehicle while avoiding a crash, but just barely. thankfully, i broke down next to two police officers who helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. these officers may be able to attest to the fact that no noises or abnormal operation of the vehicle was apparent before the abrupt shut-off while driving. attempts to restart the vehicle involved no clicking or the engine attempting to turn over. the vehicle is currently being repaired, but the preliminary diagnosis is one of a faulty alternator. i will attempt to retain the faulty alternator from the repair center. i had only started the car 2-3 minutes before the incident and there were no apparent electrical issues (engine struggling to start, lights dimming, etc.) while starting the car or during operation.

Driving with knocking in steering, in back rear right tire,feel and can hear knocking in both places when driving, took into shop where car was purchased and they said no problem, but i think it is a problem when i'm not able to drive the car over 20 miles away from home and back without it doing this.and i'm still making payments on this car, i put a 3 yr. warranty on this car and still look like they are giving me the run around!!!!!!!!!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the transmission failed to shift gear without warning. the contact mentioned that sometimes the shift lever would become stuck to the first gear and the vehicle failed to accelerate over 30 mph. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the technician diagnosed that the power control module and valve body were defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 13,500.

2 weeks ago abs and esc light are on all the time when engine running , after i test the car they find abs module-esc module need to be replaced, how is this possible car have only 21.500 miles, cost is:$760.00 dollars, care have expired warranty in march this year, and 18 more months power train warranty, i call chrysler, they say i need to pay because car have no basic warranty anymore, that is not right, so now i driving without abs even if i have money i am just scared that same abs module going to be bad after 2-3 years and i need to replace again,

When driving, after a rain, especially when turning corners water comes rushing to the front of the car from underneath the dashboard. most times the passenger side is drench and the driver side is slightly drenched but i'm sure this a problem because there must be wires exposed. please help.

I was driving at normal condition at 35 miles per hour, at one time, the abs and esc light come on the dashboard, there is no rain no snow, no excessive braking or speeding or turning, since 4 days passed, the lights come on every day when engine running. updated 11/04/15 *bf

Car has been acting funny but parked in a customer parking lot and when i tried to start car it stated severe problem and would not turn over. with my low miles i cant believe that a fuel pump could go.

Took my car in for airbag safety recall and the work was done.later my airbag light came on and i was told that it was unrelated to the recall but a defective connection for my head restraint airbag was out and it would cost $531 dollard to fix.what a coincidence.now my headrest air bag is non-functioning and the light remains on.this happened at jeep chrysler in san leandro,ca. on marina blvd.

Clunking popping in frontend you can feel it in steering wheel. car was under warranty when this started dealership couldn't duplicate the problem it continues to get louder and many people with this car have this same problem.

This is frustrating. i've been to two dealerships complaining about the rattling steering column. both dealerships state that they could not find the problem. went to brakemasters for an oil change and the mechanic said the rattling is coming from the steering column. both times at the dealerships the vehicle was still under warranty. i'm over the 3 year mark now and no warranty. what can be done? *tr

Transmission goes in to limp mode,does not go over 30 miles jerking speeding up and slowing down, won't start and check engine light comes on goes off. *tr

My complaint concerns the goodyear eagle ls2 p225/50r18 94t s2 b01rptl m63hbhdr2711 tire. i've had this tires around 34,000 miles and on three of the tires the tread was separating causing unusual tread wear in spots and bubbling and a safety hazard. the bubbling was bad enough for me to notice a wobble in my steering wheel. i find such wear irregular and to happen on three tires all during the same period of time unusual. i have my car serviced at regular intervals and my service provider never found anything irregular about the wear on my tires until recently. such swift and irregular wear should be recorded and acted upon because it does pose a risk hazard to drivers who may experience a blowout on the road due to the separation and bubbling. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving approximately 35 mph, the heater and the front passenger side defroster failed to function when activated. in addition, the transmission jerked while shifting from park into the reverse position on numerous times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

After driving for 15 or 20 minutes or more, i can hear and feel in the steering wheel a clunking noise/sound under the hood. there is no pattern to it. it happens either on a straight line or by turning. the banging rate won't increase/decrease if i speed up/down. if i turn on the ac before the clunking noise/sound starts, it will commence to make the noise/sound before the 15 or 20 minutes of driving. it is driving me crazy (no pun intended). it sounds like something is completely loose and is going to fall at any moment. my safety and those riding with me are not secured in this car. the internet is full of people with this same problem for this particular car and there is not one solid solution for it. could anyone help us and make chrysler get more serious with this problem/solution? regards. *tr

While taking off from a stop light. the 2012 chrysler 200 cut off with no warning (no stalling,sputter, hesitation of the sort). i was stopped not on the hwy but a major divided four lane hwy. (ga 54, newman, ga at the intersection of u. s. hwy i-85). after several restart attempts. the vehicle restarted with the engine malfunction light illuminated. this vehicle only had 45,466 miles on it with all maintenance up todate being completed by the chysler dealership purchased from. dealership notified, appointment scheduled for 3-26-2015. who wants to drive a vehicle with a defect that the manufacturer is well aware of. just look at the amount of complaints. *tr

The right side (passenger side) of vehicle gets very little heat. this caused the entire car to be cold. the defrost does not melt ice on windshield. this first happened when the car was 11 month old. the dealer replaced the radiator, heater core and cleaned the block. he said these were full of sludge. today, march 2015) at 34017 miles, i picked up the car from the dealer after complaining of the same lack of heat and the same was reported, replaced radiator,heater core, oil filter cooler and flush cooling system. also stated on the repair invoice "performed test and repair per star case [xxx]". this is apparently an account to charge the repair back to chrylser. chrysler knows of this problem. the service advisor told me that someone at manufacturing plant added a sealant to stop leaks. he said it is well known not to use this sealant because of the problems it will eventually cause in the system. this has been repaired twice, i have no reason to believe that it will not happen again. it has been paid by warranty but some day it will be out of warranty and i will not be the one paying for it!!!! chrysler must be held accountable for this and make a permanent correction to this problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that when taking off from being idle, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000. updated 4/29/15*cn the consumer also stated the vehicle stalled at stop signs. updated 05/05/15

The car has stalled on four different occasions while driving. it stalled three time while driving in traffic. one time it stalled on the highway. the car has turned back on after a couple of tries. a malfunction indicator light comes on after the incident and stays on for a period of time. the light simple goes out without any intervention. everything appears to be running okay and then another incident of stalling occurs. *tr

There is no major problem but my air bag light went off and i took it to my dealer and they told me that i would have to pay to replace occupant restart controller. i looked on recall site and it states that the problem would be fixed free of charge and they are trying to charge me $289+tax to fix it. why???/ is there something that i am missing? *tr

Driving car and preparing to stop for a red light the car suddenly stalled..no warning. everything just quit. thankfully i was already coming to s stop and was at a point where pulling off of the road was an option. now today the car will not start. only 58,000 and driven only locally.. results pending on issue. no codes found yet. mechanic states that at first look the car appeared to be out of gas, which is not the case. however it looks like this might be a fuel issue. i have seen recalls around the tipm and fuel sensors and prior years recalls for the car stalling. *tr

There is low heat output from the heater vents due to the heater core plugging up with "sludge" as chrysler calls it. there is a chrysler star technical assistance hotline case, number [xxx] explaining heater core restriction due to sludge causing poor heater system performance. it is a well known problem with a large number of chrysler 200 which i am sure can be verified by chrysler. i believe it should be a recall, or at least an extended warranty issue. the star case states to replace the heater core, radiator, radiator cap and reverse flush the entire system if the customer complaint can be verified by the technician, however it does not explain the actual cause of the sludge. here are other weblinks related to the same issue that is in my opinion an obvious problem that chrylser should place a recall on immediately. http://starparts.chrysler.com/newsletters/newsletter_oct_2012.pdf http://www.200forums.com/forum/10-chrysler-200-engine-technical-discussion/1966-fyi-heater-core-6.html http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/searchresults;jsessionid=cnhmjlwqht8gkgyhdrzyjpxxpx2lnz4jbzs8mt3qb6tmzctns2rp!389628101?prodtype=v&searchtype=prod&targetcategory=a&searchcriteria.model=200&stats=1306768%2c2%2c0%2c135%2c0%2c200&makestats=1306768%2c2%2c0%2c135%2c0%2c200%3b1369770%2c4%2c0%2c62%2c8%2c300%3b1883971%2c1%2c0%2c0%2c0%2csebring%3b1306769%2c4%2c1%2c149%2c3%2ctown+and+country%3b&jsonbaseurl=%2fdownloads%2ffolders%2f&searchcriteria.model_yr=2012&searchcriteria.make=chrysler&searchcriteria.prod_ids=1306768. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the defogger on the front passenger side malfunctioned and prevented the contact from seeing through the windshield. the failure recurred multiple times. the dealer stated that there was a heater core restriction due to sludge, which caused poor heater system performance. the system was flushed, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

2012 chrysler 200 heater issue. vehicle will not warm on passenger side preventing defogger to reduce ice or snow from windshield. the vehicle was taken to chrysler dealership and after several attempts to remove sludge from the radiator and heater core the heater still will not maintain heat to the passenger side which is a safety issue in keeping the windshield clear of ice or snow. dealership indicated that heater core, radiator and coolant reservoir will all need to be replaced. in reading various forms its known that chrysler uses some type of chemical to plug any pin holes in the radiator and this product is causing a sludge in the system and creating the problem. chrysler will not or indicated after calling, they will not pay the $1700 cost of the repairs that were created during manufacturing. *tr

The passenger side stopped working no heat. took the car to dealership and they flushed the system with chemical and coolant a lot of junk came out. that didn't work now dealership says heater core and radiator needs replaced $1700. i research this and there has been a problem with 2012 with the same problem. there should be a recall. *tr

Passenger side air blowing cold air while in high heat googled it seems to be major issue in these vehicles chrysler knows about it says it's a chemical the add to coolant plugging heater core. *tr

There is an awful smell of fumes coming through the airvents inside car. it's so terrible that it takes your breath away. well i found out there is a recall on this because it has something to do with thac 7 heating system. mold and bacteria has set up around the heater core and the antifreeze has started looking like thick glue or something. now my heat does not work correctly. the smell that's coming through the vents, well i had to go to emergency room because i could not breath. the smell settles in my clothes and by me breathing it in, the smell has settled in my nostrils. by the time i get to work all my clothes i have on smells. went to hospital because it has made me so sick, my yes burn from the smell.this is dangerous. the mechanic i saw said the compartment where the antifreeze is needs to be flushed out and thermostat replaced and probably valve gaskets and the heater core may be stop up also since the antifreeze was like glue,the fumes from the vents is bad it can affect your respitory system and your breathing. lake keowee chrysler dodge of senca sc was called about this problem. they said they needed the number from recall. well this license mechanic is going to tell me how to handle this problem. this has affected my health and it also affected my heating system. it will not work. i have to put on face mask so i won't have to smell that awful fume. i already spoken to an attorney about this. *tr

First time driving the car in snowy conditions,there was about an inch of snow on the ground.i had a very hard time controlling it,it will swirve all over the place,i'm a truck driver used to the worst conditions,i would say i'll rather drive a p/u truck(2wd)without extra weight in the bed on ice..

There is low heat output from the heater vents due to the heater core plugging up with "sludge" as chrysler calls it. there is a chrysler star technical assistance hotline case, number s1207000008 explaining heater core restriction due to sludge causing poor heater system performance. it is a well known problem with a large number of chrysler 200 and dodge avengers which i am sure can be verified by chrysler. i believe it should be a recall, or at least an extended warranty issue. the star case states to replace the heater core, radiator, radiator cap and reverse flush the entire system if the customer complaint can be verified by the technician, however it does not explain the actual cause of the sludge. the symptom first noticed is little or no heat on the passenger side of the vehicle, then progressively lower heat output the more plugged the heater core becomes as time goes on. i believe in cold climates this could also cause the windshield to stay iced over, or become iced over as you drive down the road due to wind chill factor of the vehicle speed. it could also be aggravated by the fact that the air conditioner runs with the heater on defrost ( to dry interior air in order to de-fog the windshield in humid or rainy weather) which further cools the already cold air coming from the defroster vent if the heater core eventually becomes completely plugged. in hot climates, the heater core still plugs up, however the customer may never notice the symptoms. i also happen to be chrysler academy master certified in all core curriculum, powertrain, electrical and chassis. ase master and advanced level certified (a1 through a9 and l1) ase certified parts specialist(p2)and service consultant(c1) and i have an aos degree in automotive trades from suny alfred. new york state dmv certifications( f.e.e.t, s.t.e.p, c.a.p.s, f.i.s.t.). credentials can be verified upon request. *tr

Driving and interior lights dim down and get real bright spontaneously. also my seat belt light and chime don't work all the time?? trans already slips when leaving town at a medium acceleration? only 75000 miles on the car.

Under normal driving conditions all of a sudden the vehicle accelerates on its own. the engine stalls and loss of steering. the electronic throttle control warning light comes on and blinks, as well as the engine light and the traction control light comes on. acceleration is only at 20% of what it normally is with intermittent thrust of power followed by engine failure. this lasts for several miles then the problem seems to disappear. chrysler has no idea a out this problem with there vehicles and if u take it to an auto repair place. it says the vehicle is fine when they plug it in. i did some research on this to find out what to do and the internet is swamped by people with this car, this same year or around the same year... with the same problem. this vehicle is unsafe. logic suggests that chrysler wont voluntarily recall this vehicle for financial reasons which is understandable but at the same time i don't wanna die because i cant control this car when it has the above mentioned "episode". *tr

Soon after i purchased my 2012 chrysler 200 s the rear safety belts began locking for no apparent reason. the lock was so harsh that the belt would have to be removed and reapplied. the restraint has continuously locked causing the passenger to be pinned to his or her seat. this has happened almost every time there is a passenger in the rear restraint no matter the speed the vehicle is traveling. *tr

The steering wheel vibrates and there is a clunking noise made that sounds like it is coming from the steering wheel column when driving. it occurs at any speed. it feels like the steering column is loose to a point. *tr

2012 chrysler 200. consumer writes in regards to paint bubbling and rust on vehicle. *tgw the consumer noticed the paint above the passenger side head light was bubbling, indicating rust. he took the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection. the dealer stated it appeared the vehicle had previously been painted. chrysler instructed the consumer to send pictures of the vehicle. after looking at the pictures, chrysler stated the problem was due to an environmental issue. *jb

Within 2 days of purchasing this vehicle, rear brakes were squealing like they would do if they were due to be replaced. i brought it back to the dealership and they supposedly inspected them and told me "its just rust from sitting on the lot and it will clear up after you drive it a while", it continued and a couple months following the first visit i returned with the vehicle and told them it still was making the noise and they checked it out again and said "oh, its just dust on the brakes and if you step on your brakes hard at about 40 mph that should take care of the problem". here we are 2 years later and the rear brakes still make the squealing noise. about june/july of this year timeframe i brought my vehicle in to the dealership because i have about 5 different spots on the hood and grill of the vehicle has the paint "blistering" and rust underneath. the dealership didn't call me and tell me what they were going to do about it so i called them about a month later. the warranty guy at the dealership told me that chrysler was going to "send a whole new hood" which i guess didn't make much sense to me but whatever. to date i haven't heard from the dealership any further on this matter and the vehicle is nearing the limits on the warranty period for mileage. the dealership i have been dealing with is john hirsch's motors in cambridge, mn. *tr

I have a 2012 chrysler 200 touring v6 bought it brand new. while driving on the highway taking the off ramp i engage my brakes before i get to the traffic light also engaging my turn signal. as soon as the turn signal is engaged all my lights flicker off and on this included the dash lights, stereo and the center console everything except my headlight flicker. on a few occasions the lights have totally went off and would only come back on when the turn signal was disengaged. i had taken the vehicle to a mechanic who tested my battery and alternator also checking all the fuses. he was at a lose to explain why the [xxx] was doing this. i also contact the dealer who sold me the vehicle and gave me the run around stating that they had not heard of any other vehicles doing this and dismissed my worries with saying its is your battery and or alternator. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was driving along that morning into work when my battery light came on. i then proceeded to call around to find out what was going on. later that afternoon my car complete stopped working and was "freaking out" on me while i was driving. after coming to the conclusion that it was not my battery that died, it was my alternator that stopped working. now my vehicle is sitting in the front of my house not wanting to start up. *tr

Awful popping noise to front end when driving. worsens over time . had to shop 4 times. they now admit to a problem with tie rods at manufacture. dealership is offering to fix with a $100 co-pay since it is now out of warranty mileage. i am working with chrysler to get the rest covered since it is an unresolved warranty issue. *tr

A clicking noise in steering wheel while driving no matter how fast you are going. also, a knocking noise when driving over bumps. sometimes, the car does not pick up speed for a while when driving up a hill.

While driving, attempted turn was made going approx. 10mph and the vehicle completely shut down without warning lights or anything. once shut down i am able to restart but having this issue remain is frustrating. the vehicle has been taken to the dealership several times and each time no code is found and nothing is able to be done. having this issue can cause serious damage and is extremely dangerous especially since i have children and i fear for our safety.

After driving for about 15 min. you can start hearing a clunking noise coming from the left side, and you can feel it in the steering wheel. don't know if its steering or suspension, but i get eerie feeling the car may lock up. *tr

Was at a stop light and after taking off the car shut completely down with no warning no engine light indicator until after this happened. i tried to start it and it cranked but didn't start all the way, i had it towed home and now it starts. i had a six month old infant in the car with me when this happened and i don't feel safe when the car can just shut down like that. i feel there is a default in the engine, we purchase this car a year ago. thank god there was no one behind me when this happened. i also have had problems with the brakes from when we purchased the car i brought the car to the dealer four times before someone figured it out. it was fine for four weeks and the noise is back, there is a noise in the brakes only when you press the brakes lightly. this problem has not been resolved. and the the warranty is up. i feel it's a defect. upon my last visit to chrysler there was a customer there who also has a 200 with the same brake problem they were trying to resolve. *tr

After putting on 4 new tires and new front brakes, we noticed an issue with the steering column clunking, and feeling very loose. after three trips to the service counter at a chrysler dealership, (you would think that they would know what the problem was), i have figured out the issue thanks to youtube. apparently, i there are many others having the same issue. and, i called chrysler directly, and the girl that i spoke with stated that the part had been recalled on other chrysler products, but not on my car. this part needs to be recalled. you feel like you are driving down the road, and the car is falling a part. you feel like parts could fly off at any time. very disappointing! and, just out of warranty. please view this website to understand the issue. it explains it in depth. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chrysler+200+clunking+problem. *tr

2012 chrysler 200 shut off while driving 45 mph down the hwy with 2 children in the car. i lost power steering and my brakes. luckily, i made it to the side of the road. it restarted once i turned the key to off first, but shut off on me a second time while idling a few minutes later. i have not driven it since. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph in rainy weather, the rear end of the vehicle began to skid. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where both rear tires were replaced. the failure recurred whenever the vehicle was driven on wet road surfaces at any given speed. the vehicle was also taken to an authorized dealer where a rear end wheel alignment was performed and the tow was replaced. the failure persisted and the vehicle was not further repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

For the past couple of months i have been experiencing my car fishtailing badly in winter weather. in the slightest snow fall or ice it fishtails so badly causing me to slow down to speeds around 35 mph on the highway. when i first noticed it i thought it was my tires and alignment so i had bought new winter tires and had the alignment redone but after driving it soon after i realized that it did not remedy the problem. so i thought that maybe adding some weight would help but it dangerously got worse. tonight i was driving and hit a slight patch of ice and it fishtailed so violently i almost went off the road and almost caused a semi truck to crash just to avoid me. this car is not safe by any standards of winter weather driving. even a friend of mine who is an auto mechanic agrees that this vehicle isn't safe. it feels as if the rear suspension is loose but when inspected i was told everything was fine. please look into this. i use to drive a toyota yaris that did way better in winter weather than this and mind you it only had the factory tires. thank you. *tr

My complaint about this vehicle is the headlights. they are aimed to low, do not project out far enough and the low beam appears to have a dark 'shade' or 'cutoff' at the very top of the light beam. i've never experienced this on any other vehicle and i attribute it to the one bulb system with a 'shutter' this model uses for low and high beams. the high beam is doing what the low beam should be doing. low beams are completely useless in heavy fog, this is contrary to every other vehicle i've owned. when driving at night, i must resort to high beams when i shouldn't need to. this is especially a factor when descending hills and driving through turns and corners. the headlights on the last three vehicles i've owned were far superior in every way compared to the headlights in the 2012 chrysler 200 touring model sedan. i took the car to a aaa shop in glen burnie, md, the service manager said an adjustment would probably not make any difference and the cost was nearly $55.00. i have not taken the car to a chrysler dealer because i was quoted $115.00 for an 'adjustment'. i like this car otherwise and i don't want to trade it in just because the headlights are lousy; they should be a lot better than they are. there are hundreds of posts on the internet of owners having the same issues with the headlights on this model as me. i purchased this vehicle used in march of 2012 and it now has 38,500 miles. thank you.

Purchased new from chrysler dealers lot in april 2012. when cleaning back seats with vacuum noticed frayed fabric on the seats were the stitching is, as if the stitches had severed the fabric and in just about every stitch on every seat same thing took it in to the dealership to have it assessed and was told they would contact chrysler and call me. i had to take the car back in for photos to be taken and it turned out they were not adequate (black interior) so i waited and waited and called to see what the hold up was and was told chrysler needed better pictures.went back to dealership and showed them exactly what the issue was and pushed on the seat to reveal that indeed there was frayed material.chrysler contacted the dealership and told them to get pictures without pushing on the seat, took it in again and had pictures taken and was told in the mean time the dealership was told by chrysler to get a quote from an upholsterer in regards to new front and back seats. i had to call the dealership once again after not hearing from them for an extended amount of time only to be told that chrysler is not going to replace the seats,there is nothing that can be done. *tr

Purchased new from chrysler dealer lot in april 2012. on occasion most commonly in summer months,when the vehicle is turned off the ignition will not release the key it is impossible to get the key out of the ignition i have to start the car and turn it off several times before it will release the key. *tr

Purchase new off the chrysler dealer lot april 2012.there are three knobs that control the heating and cooling in the car when the blower is turned to a low setting it will blow hot air regardless of temperature that is selected for example if it is sitting at 66degrees it will blow extremely hot air and only if the blower is set to max will it eventually cool down to the selected temperature. once the cooler temperature is acquired, if the blower is turned down it will eventually go back to blowing only really hot air regardless of temperature setting. *tr

Purchased this vehicle new off the lot april 2012.this issue i currently have became an issue for me in feb 2014 with the winter weather i entered freeway tried to gain speed once speedometer hit 50ish noticed the car began to brake loose and sway side to side really quick and scary,immediately slowed down sensation went away could not drive above 40mph, while all traffic around me on the freeway were traveling at a much greater speeds i figured it was just by chance i hit an ice patch.i attempted to speed up and once hit 45mph the side to side sway once again was present exited the freeway and do not travel above 40 in any wet,snow,icy weather but regardless of speed if i hit anything slick i sway, the low speeds just help me maintain control of the car.my husband thought i must just need a winter tire,(there are a set of 4 goodyear eagles on it presently) until he drove it and determined there was definitely a serious issue jacked it up to reveal that it was the inner tie rods completely wiped out contributing to the sway.contacted the dealership to resolve it(mind you the mileage was now at 37050) was told they would do an inspection for $85 and would call chrysler to see if they would honor a repair since it is out of warranty however no guarantee that the repairs would be covered non the less a front end alignment.i could not leave my car for 3 days for diagnosis nor afford 85$ that would not even go towards the repair.i called chrysler only to be told they can not guarantee anything nor would chrysler consider anything until i have an inspection done that there are no discounts no courtesy inspection to be had.bought a new car to avoid issues such as these. *tr

This vehicle out of service .could of cause a collision or cause body injury or death , i started the car went about 100 feet or more, car made a loud noise ,car stopped suddenly by itself, then brake part flew right off right on the road. had to push car to the nearest corner. called dealer service, called my insurance. i have full coverage, but no response at the time. i signed hardship packet from the bank for help, but was repossessed, so dealer could not pick the car . i made a complaint february 12,2013 to bakersfield chrysler - jeep about my brakes squeals and my tires always display low pressure. service dealer said there is nothing to fix they squeal because of dirt and they are wet and tires need more air because of weather change. i brought this car brand new. i sent a formal written letter addressed to nhtsa, plus documents that will substantiate my situation. updated 03/13/14

Driving home from work i entered on to the highway and while driving, the vehicle completely shut off. this has happened three different times and i have two children and this is the only vehicle i have. i am fearful that this problem may cause injury. *tr

The first time i drove this car and snow i could barely keep it on the road. i have been driving in michigan for 24 years and i have never had a car that handled this poorly in the snow. i took the car to my dealership and they told me it is a common problem but chrysler does not have a solution for it. since then the dealer has split a set of snow tires with me but it only partially helps the problem. the car is terrifying to drive in any snow conditions regardless of the snow tires. it moves from side to side in the snow and can barely be kept on the road. i have a 2 wheel dr. truck with no wait in it and i'd prefer to drive that over the chrysler in the winter. *tr

Vehicle engine light went on. unable to accelerate. vehicle stalled and pulled over to side of road. happened 5 times in 16 mile trip. this occurred when vehicle has 18-20000 miles requiring towing of vehicle. at that time, repair involved wiring repair and replacement of sleeve. the problem has clearly recurred. this is a safety issue. *tr

Extremely poor illumination from headlights, especially low-beam! the projector lights have a 'shutter' that covers a portion of the beam to create low-beam. this causes a distinct, visible horizontal black-out line across the illumination and leaves little to no illumination on the roadway especially on rural roads beyond city lighting! when car goes down-grade, this blackout line dips to cover the roadway completely in front of the car causing total darkness momentarily. this and no corner lighting is very dangerous and will eventually at some point cost a life! there also is no side or corner illumination in low-beam nor in high-beam. one mechanic told me the bulb is set too far back in the projection tube blocking the side illumination and it is not adjustable. dealer has checked this condition and problem is not fixed. it appears to be a design problem (a serious one) and the internet is full of complaints from chrysler 200 owners about this. chrysler needs to recall these cars and refit the headlight units with a safe, operational design! *tr

When purchased this car, noticed that it pulled severly to the left, spoke to dealer ship and they stated that it was normal for front wheel drives to do so. so i continued to drive this car but always having to be on alert when driving on highway if car was going to jerk off road. this car handles horrible! i do not feel safe in this vehicle and do not feel if any control was lost, that i would be able to regain control due to this. the dealership has denied that i have ever brought this up, but when my brakes started squealing around 7000.00 mile i then brought it up again and they told me i needed a front end alignment and new brakes! ok i just bought the car... i told them no, how could that be. well since then my car has had to have the cylander replaced and they have addressed the jerking with a front end alignment which by the way did not do anything. it still is hard to control and could only do 30 mile an hr in snow before it would loose control. i have more complaints and have addressed chrysler to no avail. they just tell me its the make of the car and that my brakes squealing are because asbestos is no longer in brakes. i told them that i was not born yesterday and have driven more cars than this and never have had this problem. they offered me an extended warrenty and stated that was all anyone could do . i am a very unhappy customer and becasue i am in a lease i can not get out of this car. only when it crashes will anyone maybe do anything about this. i am seeking the state attorney in idaho to see if they can help resolve this issue . *tr

Excessive "fish tailing" in minimal snowy conditions, very unstable, absolute death trap. i felt like i was going to end up smashing into a passing car or truck . drove for 30 miles per hour for 260 miles while there wasn't more than one inch on snow on the ground because the rear end of the car was swing in all directions, my wife and daughter terrified. i just bought the car back in august 2013 thus a few months ago and had no issues driving on dry ground but only in snow and wet conditions.

This chrysler 2012 200 started to have brake squealing issues at about 7,000 miles i went to dealership and they told me that it was probably just being broke in since i purchased this car at 200 miles on it. the problem continued and no one at the dealership would address this problem. i then told them they had to do something about it and they then told me that there was not a fix for this that chrysler could not fix this problem. and that they the dealership dennis dillon and chrysler had no idea what to do. i continued to drive my car and in september of 2013 my car's check engine light came on and i took into the dealer dennis dillon and was advised that my cylander head was gone and would need repaired. i was told to go ahead and dive my car while the parts came in. my car was fixed and picked up from dealer then 1 day later my car overheated on interstate and broke down was then told a clamp came off and was then fixed. since this issue my car has not driven the same. it is sluggish . i asked the dealer about the lemon law and was told to contact chrysler . i did so and was told by chrysler that there is nothing anyone can do. my brakes still sqeal very loudly and chrylser told me that its becasue they replaced the brake pads and no longer have asbestos' in them. i then advised them that i have driven other models and makes and did not have that problem. they refused to be of any assistance. my steering is also an issue in which the dealership has said that it needed an alignment but since the car was only a couple hundred miles on it. it has pulled severly to the left. this is not acceptable and this car needs to fall under the lemon law and be dealt with. *tr

. there are about 8 cars ahead of me in my lane as we wait for the green light. when the lights turn green i note that my lane hasn't moved and the buses are steady chugging through the intersection in the left lane i look into my rearview mirror, i was the last car in line for this stop and i hadn't even gotten my foot off the brake and all i could see was a big black grill coming toward me. i braced my hands on the steering wheel and shouted please don't hit me before i could finish the sentence blam! fortunately the cars ahead of me were just starting to move forward. my head snapped so hard my ears went full. the dash mat on my car came at me like an airbag. my phone in the front center console flew forward and hit the shift knob and the back popped off and must have shaken the battery loose. the coffee in my lidded cup spewed out thru the small sipping hole all over the corner of my leather seats. i sat stunned, trying to assess what just happened. i knew that my neck at the base of my skull was burning, as i reached to pull the dash mat off of me i realized my right arm hurt. i still hadn't taken my foot off of the brake and i couldn't believe what just happened. i have been rear ended ...almost $5000 worth of rear end damage, and medical bills for whiplash and a broken elbow! i am being told by chrysler that there is an active head restraint recall (this restraint could have prevented my whiplash). loss of work, and medical costs, had to hire an attny. against the other driver, still trying to recover my financial losses. *tr

When backing up from a parking place the first time it happened in the latter part of april 2013, we heard this loud screeching noise coming from what we thought to be the front wheels . i then took the car to the dealership told the service person about it, he then said all cars have been doing it because of the dust storms in the area . the noise has been getting louder and louder it's embarrassing any more to back up ! who would think such a nice and beautiful car would be emitting such a terrible noise. even my elderly dad has noticed it every time i pick him up and he said what a shame it is that this car makes that horrific sound . on 10-22-13 i reported this problem again our car dealership and asked them to start a case about it and i'd report it to nhtsa. the service manager agrees with me and stated there is a problem with the chrysler 200 cars and that chrysler corp, refuses to admit there is problem with these cars! don"t buy this car! *tr

My car stalled on me about 3 times in august. twice while driving at a low speed and once while parked. i took it chrysler and they said they didn't find anything. it happened again in september so i brought the vehicle back to chrystal and was once again told they could find nothing. after that while driving on the highway at about 40mph the car started to lose power and traction control, emergency brake and abs light lit up and the speedometer just waved back n forth. it felt like it was stalling and luckily i was able to pull over. i took it back to chrysler and told them its very dangerous and i can't drive the car like that. they then called me saying they found a loose battery terminal and to see if that helped. no it didn't. while driving on a highway again the car started to lose power and then stopped but did not stall. when i stepped on the gas it mad a noise but did not move. i had to shut it off and restart it. i will going back to chrysler for the fourth time to see if they will fix this dangerous problem. *tr

Vehicle purchase from enterprise car sale, may 3,2013. mileage 30926. immediately i started having problems with loud clicking sound in front tires and loud squealing on backup. enterprise agreed to fix the problem once identified. the inspection to tires and brakes was done and dealership stated they could not get vehicle to replicate the noise (lol) . 2nd trip to dealership. same complaint. answer- could not get vehicle to duplicate noise. "you must be kidding me. if i can hear it i know you can hear it. so, my suggestion was to roll down the windows, turn off the air conditioner / radio...you cant miss it. well, the front tires were replaced because it was stated that they were 1/8 inch to large.but nothing done to the brakes. there was still plenty padding . 3rd trip to dealership. brakes are now screaming at me! the pads were replaced with different material. from ceramic to metallic pads.. two months have gone by and guess what? the noise is back!!!!. im no genius and definitely not a mechanic, but if you keep doing the same thing you will get the same results. how many times does it take to realize that something else is wrong? the question is....what ? i have read "several complaints from different owners with the same issue. so i know there is something wrong . how many complaints does it require before an investigation takes place and a recall is issued because something is wrong here?. i regret not doing the research on this car because i know for sure that i would not have purchased the vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that there was no power steering fluid in the vehicle. the vehicle was replenished with power steering fluid but the failure recurred. the also contact stated that the power steering hose exploded and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 6,047. the consumer stated there were numerous problems with the vehicle, such as a coolant leak, oil leak, air condition, the cd player did not work, the power steering hose burst, the wire harness, the transmission was replaced, the engine was noisy and the seat belt on the passenger side was not properly installed. the vehicle cut off several times. updated 10/31/13

I have made several complaints to chrysler regarding the vehicle not accelerating when it should and not going over 35mph at times. when the vehicle won't accelerate the 6 speed does not work either. chrysler reset the computer and this worked as a fix for roughly 2 days until it happened again. the vehicle also jumps forward when braking and seems to be jumping very hard through the gears, chrysler has responded every time that they cannot duplicate the problem and to bring it back when it happens again. today i was driving to work and again the car was jumping when i was braking. the car in front of me braked hard and unexpectedly therefore i had to as well. my car did not stop! although the brake pedal was pushed as hard as i could the car jumped at least 6 times and made a horrible grinding noise before i finally was able to get it to stop before rear ending the car in front of me. i did make it in to work however, the car did not make any improvements after this, now every time i try to stop the car jumps forward. this car is going to get me, my kids or someone else seriously injured and chrysler has no sense of urgency to seem to get it fixed. from what i have read it is not only my car that is having the same problem. add it to the lists of recalls please!!!!! also when i am driving and this happens daily the car jerks very hard between 1st and 2nd gear, this literally causes the car to and feels like it may stall out.

In traffic, steering wheel tightened up and all interior lights were off. tried to brake but no response, shifted into neutral restarted the car and it turned back on. seemed to mess up the shifter a little in the process, as well as almost hitting the car in front of me. probably going about 10-15 mph, and i was lucky to throw the car in neutral and restart otherwise i would of floated into an accident. *tr

Entering the on-ramp of a 65 mph highway, at the hov lane (so the left most lane), the car wouldn't accelerate and started to decline in speed. i was almost rear ended several times. i had to cut across 4 lanes of traffic to exit. i called the dealership and told them this had happened before, but at that time they couldn't recreate the code, and that they told me to bring it in if it happened again. i took the car in, they got the code, and stated my car thinks it's overheating, so it's shutting itself down. i told them that wasn't possible since i hadn't driven the car in 2 days and the distance from my house to the on-ramp was probably less than a mile. the guy then told me that if i started it up, and the problem seemed to be better i could take it since it was a saturday and the only service techs they had could only perform oil changes. i drove it to my friend's house about 2 miles away and left it. unfortunately i had to drive home, and to/from work today. i called the dealer from work, and scheduled to drop it off the next morning since that was their next availability. the guy said he'll have to keep it until the problem happens again. i stated that would be inconvenient since they don't do loaner cars, and the last time the problem happened was about 3k miles ago. hopefully he can fix it based off of the code they pulled a few days ago. this stinks! the reason i bought a brand new car was for reliability. *tr

Leaving my office, in traffic, the car would not accelerate. the max speed it would go to was only 40 mph, but the rpm's were high. by the time i got it to the dealership (about 20 minutes later), the problem had corrected itself. the dealership was unable to pull the code, so they told me to come back if it happened again. *tr

Cant see at night with the low beams. needs to be replaced with a two bulb system. does some one have to die before this issue is addressed? *tr

4 cylinder 2.7l engine city gas mileage is only 13.5 mpg. my 2012 dodge grand caravan with a 3.6l v-6 gets 15 mpg. the 200 should be getting at least 18-20 mpg. my 2010 toyota corolla gets 23 mpg with the same type of city driving. there are people complaining all over the web about the excessive fuel consumption problem. chrysler should fix the problem and do a recall. minimum they should install an eco mode button to bring the mpg up to the advertised mpg. the transmission shift points should be lowered so the engine does not rev to 3000 rpms on every shift. it is ridiculous that the v6 version gets better mpg. imagine all the people that chose to go with the 4 cylinder to save on gas. chrysler knows this problem and should have eliminated the 4 cylinder option altogether but chose to offer it so sales would not go down for not offering a 4 cylinder option. chrysler should be penalized for this, not the consumer. *tr

Since new, this vehicle has poor low beam headlights, that seem to be directed downward, making night driving over 50 mph hazardous. at times, i must rely on the headlights of other cars to see the road ahead. after owning this car one year, i can't accept this any longer. the dealer at first said they could not be adjusted, but is now willing to check them at a future appointment. i found adjustments above each headlight, engraved "up and down." a special tool is needed to perform this adjustment. i feel that chrysler needs to be made aware of this problem in their vehicles. i have reported it to their customer service as case # [xxx]. i have owned over twenty cars and this is the only one with poor low beams. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The chrysler 200 vehicle that i purchased in april 2012 was brought in again on 7/1/13 for service due to front end clanging metal noises which occur while turning, backing up, slowing and stopping. this undiagnosed noise began following several engine stalling episodes, two of which required towing (since i was unable to restart the vehicle to drive in for service). the engine stalling episodes occurred while driving at 55 mph and as stated, twice resulted in towing and service. service on the engine stalling problem occurred in april and again in may 2013. it is unclear why the remedy for the engine stalling was not followed per the nhtsa recall id # 11v487000 (engine and engine cooling) technical service bulletin/chrysler manufacturer remedy- since that recall had already been published. in addition to this safety issue, the front end metal clanging may be the result of towing due to the engine defect and/or a result of another vehicle defect (recall #11v315000 - steering column). this is a vehicle that has multiple problems and poses a serious safety issue due to various problems. it needs to be off the road. *tr

As i was driving my car it just stop running, there was no warning lights or nothing came on the car just stop. then it would not start back up until the next day when it was at the dealership. they check the car out and they could not find anything wrong with the car. this is not the first time this happen and they still can not find out why the car is stopping. then the lights came on the dash board and i took the car back to the dealer ship and they still could not figure out why they came on because the computer did not report that any lights came on. then they keep my car over the weekend and they said the car ran fine even though they know the car did stop but since the computer couldn't tell them that there was something wrong with the car there is nothing that they can do. this is a very unsafe car..i wish i know this before i brought this car... *tr

While returning to airport for return trip home, was in the 2012 chrysler 200 rental car. slowed down to go into a curve and when came out of curve it was like the vehicle was sucked off the road to the right. had no choice---that is where the car was going...my passenger and i were airlifted to hospital. i suffered from 3 back fractures, 3 rib fractures, fractured sternum, contusions to the lungs and 26 stitches in the forehead. was in hospital for a week and out of work for about 2 months. passenger had 2 back fractures, rib fractures also. i have asked avis/budget to get this car out of their fleet before someone gets killed. chrysler needs to recall this car. they had steering recalls on the 2011 model. *tr

2012 chrysler 200. when slowing then accelerating in turn about, the 200 will often stall for a second or two, then proceed. seems to especially happen when attempting to increase speed quickly to enter traffic. the engine will stall and become unresponsive for a second or two before responding again. this has been unsettling a couple of times. this seems to occur when turning and accelerating. i do not have any issues when accelerating in a straight line. the second speed issue is that the 200 is slow to stop revving when accelerating. on several occasions upon acceleration, when i lifted my foot off of the accelerator, the engine kept revving for a couple of seconds and the car kept speeding up. this has not caused any safety issues. *tr

It has been increasingly difficult to see at night when driving my chrysler 200 2012 in low lit areas due to the headlight beams. less light? aimed low? i have to drive far slower than posted around bends at night. i don't recall this issue when i bought the car brand new. i have had it one year and have just over 10,000 miles. i don't usually have to drive at night other than my well lit neighborhood ,so this could have easily gone unnoticed. either way, this terrifies me. the other issue i have is a jerk when shifting to reverse or drive. it is a loud clunk and i feel the vibration. i will not drive at night in low light areas until resolved. i also feel the car pulls to the right when driving. i will contact the dealer soon, until then i just don't feel safe driving while on dark roads. *tr

2.4 liter 2011 chrysler 200. when slowing then accelerating in left turn lanes and turn abouts, the 200 will often stall for a second or two, then proceed. seems to especially happen when attempting to increase speed quickly to enter traffic. the engine will stall and become unresponsive for a second or two before responding again. the entire process is that i brake and slow for the turn or to enter a round about, when there is an opening, i accelerate, the 200 will speed up as expected, then the engine will suddenly stall and become unresponsive for 1-2 seconds, then resume as normal. this has been unsettling a couple of times. this seems to occur when turning and accelerating. i do not have any issues when accelerating in a straight line. the second speed issue is that the 200 is slow to stop revving when accelerating. on several occasions upon acceleration, when i lifted my foot off of the accelerator, the engine kept revving for a couple of seconds and the car kept speeding up. this has not caused any safety issues. it only happens when i accelerate quickly. when driving normal, this issue does not occur. *tr

While driving 15mph in a 25mph zone due to not being able to see the road on a downgrade i almost hit an animal and coming close to also hitting a low center median being unable to see in front of my vehicle more than 10 feet or less. informed chrysler and as other people stated they want to do an adjustment and diagnosis of problem. i have and drive other vehicles and have not had this issue with anything else just this vehicle there is not enough light and the cutoff is seriously bad. *tr

I bought this car use with 27,000 mile on it. i have only had the car for 45 days or so. my car is jumping forward when i come to a stop. at first the lurching was very faint now at 31,000 miles the lurching is more pronounced. i took the car to the dealership prior to the warranty ending and they acted like they where unaware of the issue/or didn't understand the issue. any way i am beginning to feel unsafe since it is happening more. the car lurched forward during a sudden stop one time, not good. *tr

The brakes have a high pitched squeal either in reverse or forward for the first mile of driving, but on occasion it has happened while driving for a while to. i took to the dealership and they said there is nothing they can do because they are steel brakes with metal on metal and it is normal. they said it replaces the abestoes brakes. i know other people with new cars and do not have this issue. *tr

Head lamp projection on the 2012 chrysler 200 is very limited on low beam (50 feet) which is unsafe and is going to cause death or injury. this is a design defect and cannot be corrected by the dealer for which 2 attempts were made. in addition, the manufacturer was contacted for correction. they stated the head lamps operate as intended and there is nothing to be done. either the vehicle must be driven very slowly so that the driver can react to the limited projection field or high beams must be used which blinds the oncoming traffic and is illegal in most conditions. there is a lid which covers the bulb half way on low beam and retracts fully on high beam. the lid restricts adequate projection and also restricts beam projection to the sides. this is an extremely unsafe vehicle in this condition for night time driving and should recalled for correction. the dealer has had numerous complaints on this model, but says there is nothing they can do since the manufacturer will not acknowledge a problem. i have read numerous other complaints in your data base concerning the same problem and have spoken to other owners who acknowledge the problem. not driving the car at night or driving with high beams on is not the answer. please get the manufacturer to acknowledge and fix the design defect immediately.

This model has a substantial headlight projection issue. the headlights (low beam) do not project far enough to allow the driver to maintain posted speed limits. in areas where there is no street lighting or when driving in rural or unfamiliar areas this is extremely dangerous and you find you have to slow down to a crawl or use high beams - both an issue when other cars are present. i have had other people drive my car to verify and the first thing they say is that it's dangerous and they would not drive this car at night and they were very uncomfortable with the way the headlights projected to the point they thought the lights were not fully on. have seen this issue from other owner blog entries. *tr

I was driving home from work and i was coming down a side street and i saw this u haul van going a high rate of speed at least 35 - 40 mph (the posted speed is 15 mph) and it hit me on the passenger side and pushed me into a tree and while hitting the tree my airbags did not go off and i was hurting at that time, i was taken to the nearest hospital and released and when i went to the dealer and told them what was going on they said its not their problem that i would have to take it up with the manufactor and i did, but like ususal they said they did no wrong their car is up to par but as i read on their website that the airbag is suppose to go off during a side impacted and i am very upset that this happen to me and my car has been sitting and getting worked on since sept. 6, 2012 and there was a part to my car that was on back order which i am shocked when its a brand new car.i am having the worst time with this whole thing and it seems like no one cares that i got hurt or that i am having so many problems with the car, the insurance and many other things can some one please take a look into my case and help me i can't take anymore ...................... i can't or there isn't or sorry for your inconvience i am going crazy. *tr

This car was bought for advertised miles per gallon (mpg) was 31mpg, but on the highway it is only getting about 15mpg. this car is either defective or chrysler has embarked on major false advertising or fraud campaign in which millions of people bought this car thinking they would get 31mpg, but are paying twice as much in gas instead of saving money. if you think you are getting 31mpg on highway, but only get 15mpg, that means you run out of gas on the highway and an accident can occur either while the car is slowing down in the lane, or after it is pushed into shoulder, which is still dangerous. there are hundreds of reviews on the internet with same problem - not getting gas mileage. please force chrysler to take back these cars because it is either false advertising and consumer fraud for advertising 31mpg, or defective for failing to be efficient with gas mileage since they are not getting the performance these cars were supposedly manufactured & designed for. there are also unknown problems with transmission and engine. i'm taking car to dealership today to investigate/service, but i was told by the sales manager, they would not take the car back and give me a new car. it has all these problems, costing me money and possible injury due to the prospect of running out of gas so frequently! the gas tank size is 16.9 gallons, so at 31mpg, i should get close to 523 miles, but we only get about 250! we fill up gas tank every week, after only driving 36 miles roundtrip to/from work, mostly on highway. i believe we are being defrauded by being sold defective cars that do not perform as advertised, and which can cause injury as a result. i shouldnt be stuck with this car, paying excessive gas prices due to constantly refilling a gas tank, because this car burns up all the gas so fast! is it a defect or consumer fraud? i want this car recalled, and i want my money back! *tr

When going into a stop or a slow down, the engine stalls; this is now the 3rd time chrsyler is looking into it. car is a 2012 chrysler convertible s purchased in feb of 2012 w/ 100 miles. 1st. happened at ~5k 2nd happened at ~7k in july 18,2012 3rd happened at ~12k oct 8th, 2012 this last time the car died on my 4 times in 5 minutes. dealer was able to reproduce the error. they are saying it is caused by a asd(v) circuit in which the relay is broken. 1st time they reprogrammed the computer. 2nd time they replaced the part containing the relay. 3rd it is the relay again. it is a major safety concern as i almost got rear ended by a van this time as i was making a legal u-turn. *tr

The car will almost stall, randomly, when stopped at a stop sign or light. it has now started to act like it is going to stall when we start it. the car hesitates, randomly, when you go to accelerate. this has happened to us many times. entering the interstate it acts like it stumbles before it will respond. we have pulled out onto a busy street where acceleration is a necessity and the car hesitates and almost caused an accident. most recently, switching lanes on the interstate we lifted our foot off accl. to allow a car to pass us when we went to accelerate again the car would not respond, a car came up on us in our lane and almost rear ended us. (this was on the way to the dealership for the problem) the dealer has been unable to duplicate the issue and nothing was recorded on the computer. many complaints about this issue on chrysler 200 forums. we have had a blk box installed and no feed back from dealer was provided even when requested in writing and verbally. we have an attorney, chrysler has put a low value on the complaint and we are not going to settle case at this time. i hope we do not have an accident while collecting data! *tr *js

Low beam headlights are ineffective, cast a beam only about 100 feet on dark roads with restrictive side vision. the beam is even more ineffective when driving downhill and the light beam is only about 50 feet. the dealer explained that it is a one bulb system with a shutter that covers the bulb half way when changing from high to low beams. chrysler is offering no resolution to the problem which has existed since its 2011 model. this system causes the operator to continually use high beams to properly illuminate the roadway even at low speeds of 25-35mph on rural roadways. there should be a recall or retrofit of the headlight assembly to a two bulb or two element bulb system. *tr

When slowing down almost to a stop, the vehicle downshifts hard. it cause a shutter or jerk and you can feel even in the brakes. feels awful and cannot be normal. also, when accelerating, the vehicle pulls hard to the right. *tr

The very first time i used my headlights for night driving i was totally amazed at the fact that you have very little field of vision. there is almost a curtain like affect and depending on the road you are traveling there is sometimes as little as 20 feet of vision. it is all but impossible to drive at night safely with this vehicle. if you live on back roads (as i do) it is not safe to drive at night. this car is just days old and i can only drive it during the day. taking it back to the dealer has not proven to be effective. the comment that i get is that its just the way the car was manufactured and that's how the lights will work. these cars are a hazard and something needs to be done immediately before someone is killed because they can't see when driving at night. i will never buy another chrysler product and i will tell everyone that will listen about my concerns. *tr

I feel i am driving my future casket. while driving at night in rural areas with no artificial lighting i have very limited view with headlights on low beam. the design of headlight is causing this i feel. there is a flipper lid that raises and lowers with low beam and high beam. the lid design is cutting the high of beam off and while driving there is a definite black out vertically. so low that one cannot see much higher than the hood of the car. high beam eliminates this problem as the flipper lid is raised out of view. the bulb is so far set back in a tube that any horizontal or side view is diminished greatly. cannot watch for deer. going around curves the view is almost none existent. i have slammed on my brakes and slid several times due to this and i am a very cautious slower driver. the road signs are cut off from this blackout line as when you can get within reading distance then the signage disappears and all you are left with is a view of bottom of pole. great/ so your only option is to drive with high beam all the time and this is against the law. on carcomplaints.com there are many complaints about the issue concerning safety due to poor headlight design with chrysler 200 2011. i asked about this issue at the dealer concerning bulletins on this safety issue. they said none. i have literally been stuck with a unsafe new vehicle and getting many adjustments upward that have not had any safe results. i have on more tomorrow. i love all the other features of this car. please help the other customers by making chrysler have a safety recall. to replace these headlights immediately. i do no want to have a crash, fire, injury, or fatality. i do. *tr

Car is a 2012 model, purchased three days ago with only 10 miles on it. today it stalled as it was idling at red light. it stalled as i was making a right hand turn. it stalled as i was turning left into my garage to park. i called my salesman, he claims he knows nothing about it and referred me to the manager. he also claims he has never heard of why this would happen. yet i find out from a friend to search the internet. i do a search and see many articles from today and over the weekend on this. so, how does a dealer not know about this before selling me the car? concerned about my kids being in the car with me. *tr

Car continues to have a speed impediment; it hesitates or stalls at 10, 20, 30, and 40 mph increments and also at various times with acceleration from a low speed to a higher speed such as entering a highway from an "on ramp". chrysler tells the owner to continue to just drive it and the computer will adapt to the car. car stalls, hesitates or maybe experiences a seizure. in shop for more than 4 times with no resolution. think this needs to be investigated as a safety recall. dealer service man was asked if there was a recall and this question was met with an answer that there have been no recalls. *tr

This car was bought new with approx 300 miles brought from a dealer's inventory in kokomo, in to one in northern kentucky, where it was bought 11 may ,2012..it had been on the previous dealer's lot, as part of inventory, i believe since sep,2011. in total it has stalled while stopped at a light 2 separate times..twice it has either quit while slowing or downshifted causing quite a violent throw forward of persons in their seats while at a relatively slow speed coming to a stop...in the old days it would be the jerk you get while popping a clutch to get a car started with a bad battery.. the third time it stalled was backing out of our driveway...we are now approaching 1000 total miles on the car with less than a month of ownership...made first visit to a dealer service 30 may 2012,..pcm code was updated,but could not duplicate problem..have had one jerky downshift since then ..this has been the recurring theme of many of these instances written up on blogs concerning this model over last 2 years.. side note..this car has remote start capability on the key fob..i noticed a recall last year for some vehicles where they noticed the circuit board inside a fob had vibrated loose, and somehow was sending signals to some component in the car which was causing it to stop...ie. no codes associated with a malfunction like that...might be something to look at too. twice also, the hint of an electrical smell has been detected...same smell i experienced when the pcm on my 1993 ford van cooked itself a couple years ago..at first i wrote it off as a new car thing..but combine that with present and past experiences...well, the connection may not be coincidental. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that while driving approximately 8 mph down a hill in first gear, the rpms increased to approximately 4500 and the vehicle accelerated on its own to approximately 35 mph. the contact depressed the brake pedal with excessive force and was able to stop the vehicle by placing it in neutral. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 19,000.

Salutations; i have already contacted chrysler about this problem. their response was to basically blow me off. the problem is with the rear suspension of the chrysler 200. when ever the rear suspension hits a recessed man hole cover or a pot hole. the rear suspension seems to kick out from its trajectory. this always happens in a straight line, but when in a corner this is very spooky and unnerving. and could be a safety problem in icy/wet road conditions. this happens at all speeds above 30 mph. i do not know if it is with the joint and rebound of the shocks , or a problem with the angle of attack within the trailing arms and set up. it simply should be a factory misalignment. i also had to return to the dealer to have the headlights adjusted because i could not see past 20 yards. this was adjusted immediately at the dealers. this suspension condition has also been reported in a couple automotive magazines i read. *tr

Several times since the purchase of my 2012 chrysler 200 touring (3.6 liter v6) i have had steering and control problems with the car. upon doing my own inspection, i discovered that the tires provided on my 18x7inch, *upgraded* factory rims, are substanitally under rated for the size, weight and power of this vehicle. the tires on the v6 200 with the upgraded wheels have a performance rating of 't,' however after talking to several tire shops and looking a similarly equipped cars, this seems to be an unreasonably low rating for this particular car. it results in sever understeer, harsh cornering, poor brakeing distance, and could result in a blow out. the 4 cylinder version of this same car comes with tires that have a much higher rating. in fact many small family sedans have higer rated tires than the heavy and powerful chrysler 200. even other cars offered by chrysler group. it seems that only the 200 with the upgraded rims has the under performing tires. to make this problem even worse, under hard acceleration the car will continue to accelerate and raise rpms even after my foot is off the gas pedal. this problem, coupled with the poor performing tires caused the car to skid into a the grass median in a corner. no one was hurt and the car was not damaged. *tr

When driving the vehicle at speeds 30-70 mph in a straight line and encountering slight dips or bumps in the road surface, a dramatic loss of directional control was experienced at the left rear of the vehicle. the condition is best described as a sudden, violent swerving from the left to the right. the vehicle was very difficult to keep within the lane. this was a rental car from a commercial agency. i returned the vehicle in another town on my trip route, described the problem and was given another car. in a search for similar events on this site, i found one for the same make and model vehicle on a 2011 model year. the id number of that complaint is 10444871. *tr

I rented this vehicle from enterprise in henderson nc. while traveling to nashville, tn., i noticed that the car often lost handling capacity when coming off small bridges as there is often a small drop off. this happened at least 7 times as i decided to slow down to 55 (limit is 65) whenever crossing them. this is quite a surprise and i had this experience only once before and it was on a very small vehicle some 10 years ago. it was noticeable to the point that my passenger felt it as well and i would have had a wreck had i snatched the wheel during these scenarios. to be more clear, after crossing the small bridges...maybe 20 yards long on average, there is a drop off to the normal highway and the front end does not transition down, it actually takes on air before doing so and that is where the loss of control comes in. i would hope this can be tested and corrected before an owner loses his/her life. *tr

The first incident with my brand new 2012 chrysler 200 was failure to start. i went to start my car and turned the key but the car would not start the engine stalled. i started to turn the key again , again did not turn on. after the third time it began. i brought it to the dealer they said they could not duplicate my problem, contacted chrysler to see if there was any report of this but they hadn't had any complaints. the dealer then sent me on my way. on april 1st i was driving my 2012 chrysler 200,658 miles,with my two year old daughter in the car. as i was turning right off of a main street into a the parking lot there was another car moving so at the entrance, i pressed my brakes shortly and put the car in reverse i was not in the other vehicles way so i then proceeded to put the car back in drive but the car would not move. at this time the car was at a complete stop and in the fast moving traffic with my daughters end out in the main street. i have brought my car to the dealer which they have told me they are unable to duplicate the problem and that they spoke with chrysler and asked for reports but chrysler said no problems such as mine has been reported. the dealership or chrysler is helping me in this matter i don't feel safe and i have expressed this to them. i and my daughter are at risk with this vehicle. i feel something is wrong and since the car is not leaving and sensors on after either incident i feel it is not safe to drive. if the car stops on the interstate and stalls or fails to drive my daughter and or i can be killed. *tr

I just rented the vehicle and noticed the following, the battery has no boot or other insulation device protecting either its positive or negative terminals. the battery is located down in a well in front of the front left tire. it would be very possible for someone to accidentally drop a metal tool down into that well where it could cause a short-circuit to the negative terminal. a short-circuited auto battery is capable of delivering hundreds of amps of current, which equates to an electric arc welder. the potential dangers of those unprotected battery terminals should warrant a safety investigation to determine if a recall should be initiated to correct this apparent desgin flaw. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that while driving 30 mph, he opened the rear driver side window and began to hear a high pitched screeching noise. the contact also stated that the noise created a lot of pressure on his ear drums. the vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 500.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the battery warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was serviced per an unknown recall at du page chrysler dodge jeep ram (433 e n ave, glendale heights, il 60139, (630) 446-1400); however, the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. the contact mentioned that all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel after the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

I was driving down a busy street, trying to make a left hand turn through traffic, and my car stalled without no warning and everything was locked including brakes. i took it into chrysler and they couldn't find anything wrong with it because no fault light was coming on. so they took the next step of putting a module on my car for 2 days to see if it happens again, but lucky for me it didn't because the first time was scary enough for me. then when i took it back in they just told me that when my car does that just put it in neutral and restart it. so three weeks later my car did it again but this time i was on a busy freeway going 70 mph, so i tried their suggestion and it did not work, for the second time everything just quit working in my car. so i called them again talked to the manager at chrysler and he said if there is no lights coming on when my car does this he really can't do anything about it. *tr

Stopped at a red light, up until then car was driving fine, made a left turn and the 200 loss power and stalled out. the etc light and traction control light came on out the corner of my eye, next thing i know i was plowed into by another car. after doing more research, i have seen this problem come up time after time. the electronic throttle actually has plastic gears, plastic gears that control the opening of the throttle valve im sure those teeth will wear out on nearly every car and cause problems. *tr

I purchased a 2012 chrysler 200 from carmax located in memphis tennesse back in july 6, 2015. after a few days of purchase i noticed the brakes were not working properly. i took the car back in immediately for service and the service manager advised it was just a small problem and assured me that it was fixed. in august i had the same problem and took it back to the service department ( please be advised i am employed and i have to drive from pine bluff to memphis) at that time the service manager advised that it was some kind of fluid and the problem was fixed. this was all done during the factory warranty. on november 8, 2015 my brakes began to drag and was barely stopping i took it back to the service department and demanded for the problem to be fixed back to factory profection. mr. joe brown advised that it would be covered under my warranty but i advised that the car was never repaired correctly under factory warrenty. i had to pay a 50.00 dollar deductible and fifty towards a rental car deposit. i was called on 11/13/2015 and adivsed that my car was ready. i couldn't pick the car up until saturday morning 11/14/2015. when i came to retreve my car my car was just sitting in the parking lot and no service worker was there to drive the car with me to ensure that it was working properly. in conclusion my brakes are still not working and it could have caused me my life on this morning 11/17/2015. the brakes are worse. i am in tears because i am a recent graduate and i am working to pay bills and student loans. this is what place american people in proverty when someone sales you something and it only works for a short period and you pay for warrenty and that doesnt help neither. please help.

Partial defrost. the coolant has something in it (from the factory) causing the heater core to plug up and then there is no defrost on the passenger side of the car. thus impairing the visibility. my car has 24,000. miles. chrysler is aware of this problem. there was a star report sent to dealers in 2012. that report number is star case s1207000008.

Car dies for no apparent reason and during any type driving. of course, when motor dies power steering is lost. extremely dangerous in the heavy austin traffic that i drive in. may just shut down on a major overpass with no where to go. this vehicle puts my life and families life in danger. this shut down can happen at 10 mph or at 60 mph or above. i try to bypass major highways in austin even though it may be several miles out of the way, and so far have been able to avoid any problems. it seems ridiculous to have to travel like this. my car engine is a 2.4l and i know there has been a recall on chrysler's 3.6 l engine in the 200, but i believe this engine needs to also be recalled

Projector type head lamps are aimed too low and cannot be adjusted as designed. on dark roads peripheral lighting from head lamps is non existent. brights are needed but not practical for constant use and is illegal in town as well. this is a real design flaw and some one is going to get hurt in a night time accident due to the poor design of the lighting system on this model. *tr
