2011 Chrysler 200 complaints

THE ALTERNATOR EXPERIENCED A RAPID FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 NORTH THROUGH MARYLAND AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~65 MPH), THE ABS AND STEERING CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF, JOINED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BY THE BRAKE INDICATOR. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE VENTS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE BATTERY DIED--NO HAZARD LIGHTS, OR ANYTHING. I LIFTED THE HOOD TO CHECK AND IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR IS A 3.6L WITH A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. THE SAME ALTERNATOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA RECALL 14V-634) IN THE REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VERSIONS OF THESE CHRYSLERS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR, DIFFERING ONLY IN THE HOUSING. THERE WERE NEVER ANY INDICATORS THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS GOING BAD--NO DIMMING LIGHTS, NO HISTORY OF REQUIRING JUMP STARTS, ETC. THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND WOULD HAVE PUT US IN A DEAD CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM HAD WE NOT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE HAS STALLED WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. THEY CHECKED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 200 2011 WITH 67,000 MILES. THIS WINTER THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL, LEAVING ME WITHOUT DEFROST AS WELL. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME WHETHER IN IDLE OR DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED TWICE, THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, FILTER REPLACED, ETC. THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW THAT THE NEXT STEP IS REPLACING THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. IS IT BECAUSE EVEN MOPAR TECHNICIANS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM? MY TECHNICIAN SAYS IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S CHASING A GHOST. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! *TR

AFTER 5 YEARS, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A STAR ISSUE ON THIS CAR WITH CASTING SAND CONTAMINATING THE RADIATOR, COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEMS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2200 TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY 2011. STAR ISSUE S1109000002. FIRST MY AC DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER REPLACED. THEN MY HEAT DID NOT WORK BUT DEALER SAID IT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH CASTING SAND AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT IS NOT FAIR THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT REPAIR IF CONTAMINATED. THIS IS A KNOWN CHRYSLER PROBLEM FROM THE GET GO BUT NOT QUITE A RECALL. NOW PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SELL 5 YEAR OLD CARS FOR PARTS ONLY. THERE WILL BE CERTAIN DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE WHEN THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY SEIZES UP FROM ALL THIS CONTAMINATION AND CAUSES CRASHES. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE FIX ACTUALLY DOES NOT REALLY FIX THE CAUSE. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! I SAID WHY DOESN'T THE DEALERSHIP PUT IN THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTED IN THE STAR ISSUE AND HE SAID BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO EVERY CAR. SO BEWARE BUYING A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY A FIVE YEAR CAR PERIOD. THE STAR ISSUE NUMBER S1109000002 IS CAUSING ENGINES TO SEIZE UP DUE TO LARGE CONTAMINATION THROUGHOUT THE HVAC SYSTEM, RADIATOR, AND ENGINE AS IT SPREADS INTO EVERYTHING. IT IS LIKE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT HAS NO HEAT! IT HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM YET BUT AS THESE VEHICLES GET TO BE MY MILEAGE, THESE ISSUES CAN BECOME Q

WE LEFT CANADA TO GO ON A VACATION TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE TRIP WAS 3200 KILOMETRES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WIPERS WENT UP ABOUT 6 INCHES AND STOPPED WITHOUT BEING ON. LATER DID IT AGAIN. A FEW MORE TIMES. WE THEN TRIED TO TURN THEM ON AND IT WENT HALF WAY AND STOPPED. AFTER THAT IT DID ALL KINDS OF WEIRD THINKS FROM TURNING ON WHEN THE SWITCH WAS OFF. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED US TO HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES DURING OUR TRIP DUE TO RAINING AND SNOWING. THE LAST DAY WHEN WE FINALLY ARRIVED TO PALM SPRINGS, WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THE WIPERS WERE ON AT FULL SPEED. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO STOP IT. I THEN WENT ON THE INTERNET AND DID SOME RESEARCH. THANK GOODNESS FOR PEOPLE POSTING THEIR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, I WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO THE TIPM. IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER TIPM'S. AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AS THE WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED IN JUNE. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY AND RECALL OF THEIR TIPM'S. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THEIR TIPM PROBLEMS, IT HAS SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR INJURY. IT CAN QUIT TOTALLY ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUTTING DOWN ALL POWER AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT WILL JUST DIES SOMETIMES AT 50 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 75 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 5 MILES AN HOUR JUST LEAVING A STOP SIGN NO FAIL CODES WHATSOEVER. AFTER ABOUT ONE OR TWO HOURS OF SITTING THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES GOOD UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DOES IT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE UNSAFE P.O.S.!

THEY HAVE RECALL ON IT BUT HAVE NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE FIRST QUARTER IN 2017 AT THE EARLIEST. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT A SLIGHT HESITATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A STEEP HILL, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT MUCH WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN A SLIGHT JERK OF THE VEHICLE, THEN POWER CUTS OUT. POWER STEERING LOSS,, RADIO DISPLAY GOES OUT AND HAZARDS WON'T WORK, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I TURN THE KEY OFF, I CAN RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES. VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND HAVE THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT DOWN AND NOT BE ABLE TO AT LEAST SIGNAL OTHER DRIVERS WITH HAZARD FLASHERS. NOT A BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE, AS THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY JUST SHUTS DOWN. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP SINCE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.

PULLING ONTO A MAJOR BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER SPENDING $533 DOLLARS IN JUNE FOR A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR, I'M NOW BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY $1300 TO HAVE THE TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED WHICH AFTERWARDS I MAY HAVE TO REPLACE A POWER SENSOR. OF COURSE, THEY WON'T KNOW IF THE 3RD PART IS NEED UNTIL THEY REPLACE THE 2ND.

DRIVING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. SLOWED TO 45-50MPH FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION. TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN BUT GAS PEDAL DIDN'T RESPOND. DIDN'T REALIZE ENGINE HAD STALLED. DRIFTED OVER TO SLOW LANE TO TRY TO STOP. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT. PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT; THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN PARK; YESTERDAY THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE, ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD; AFTER TURNING OFF FOR A MINUTE; IT RESTARTED; BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON INDICATING A PROBLEM; THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT; I HAVE READ OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED; WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE?

ON JULY 4 THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON SEVERAL TIMES , STAYING ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUM AND WHEEL . IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE. ON JULY 5 , I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A BACK ROAD WITH SEVERAL CURVES . THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN . CLICKING WAS STILL HAPPENING AS WELL. ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT LIKE I WAS SLIDING ON A SHEET OF ICE. I SWIRVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR UNDER CONTROL. THEN MY VEHICLE WAS ON TWO WHEELS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE . WHICH THEN SLIDE OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN A EMBANKMENT TURNING SEVERAL TIMES AND LANDING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I AM NOW SUFFERING WITH A BROKEN COLLAR BONE DUE TO THE ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND VEERING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A KNOCKING SOUND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING PIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V315000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 V6 HAS NOW STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS GOING OVER 40 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY, BUT AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO THE CAR WILL START NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY REV UP AND LURCH WHILE STOOPED AT RED LIGHTS, AND WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL BUT DOESN'T DIE TOTALLY, BUT WILL DRIVE FINE ONCE I GET MOVING AGAIN. ONLY BY PURE LUCK HAVE I NOT BEEN SLAMMED INTO BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN I'VE STALLED. MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE CHAPMAN DEALERSHIP IN HORSHAM, PA. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I GAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. BASICALLY THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S MY TOUGH LUCK, AND HOPEFULLY OUR FAULTY CAR THAT YOU HAVE A WARRANTY ON DOESN'T GET YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED. I RECENTLY HAD A DATA RECORDER INSTALLED FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO STALLING OCCURED, SO NOW CHRYSLER IS TELLING ME THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND, BUT THEY'ER BASICALLY TELLING ME TO TAKE MY LIFE IN MY HANDS WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I SPENT CLOSE TO $30,000 FOR BETWEEN CAR AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SAID TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN...WELL, WHAT IF I CAN'T CALL THEM BECAUSE I'M DEAD OR PARALYZED. WHAT IF I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND A

MY 2011 200 GAVE NO SIGNS OF HAVING ANY PROBLEMS, STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST KEY TURN, I WENT TO GO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF WHERE I WAS BUT AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE BUSY ROAD AND STARTED ACCELERATING, THE CAR STOPPED GOING FASTER AND INSTEAD STARTED TO ONLY REV AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. CARS WERE APPROACHING BEHIND ME SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST IN TIME FOR MY CAR TO INDICATE IT SWITCHED ITSELF INTO REVERSE. AT THIS POINT I START PANICKING UNSURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. MY CAR WAS AT ABOUT 5 MPH AT THIS POINT WHEN THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THE ELECTRONICS WORKED FOR A WHILE, UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED, BUT THE ENGINE HAD NO HOPE IN BEING STARTED, EVEN WITH A JUMP. AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THAT THE MECHANIC HAD BURNT HIS HAND WHILE CHECKING IT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE GROUND NOT BEING IN PLACE. THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN ON FOR MINUTES, AND HAS LESS THEN 32000 MILES ON IT. KNOWING CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON ALTERNATORS IN THE PAST I CONTACT THEM FIRST BUT THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND, AND STILL ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND, BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE THEN THEY ARE LETTING ME KNOW AS THEY MENTIONED THE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN EMAILING THE ENGINEERS IN REGARDS TO MY CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY 15 MONTH OLD SON IN THIS CAR, LET ALONE MYSELF IN THIS CAR. THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND STILL HAS LOW MILEAGE, AND I'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT LIKE A BAB

ENGINE STALLS WHILE STOPPED OR AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING SUCH AS WHEN APPROACHING OR IN AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR LIGHT TO CHANGE OR TRAFFIC TO MOVE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED WHILE STILL MOVING AND WHEN STOPPED ON CITY STREETS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2011. REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN NOTHING BEING DONE BECAUSE DIAGNOSIS SHOWED NOTHING

DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASH, HORN ENABLES FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND VEHICLE DOES NOT START. TWO BATTERIES REPLACED. TWO DAYS OF ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TIME. HALF OF WHICH WAS CHARGING THE BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT DIED WITHIN A WEEK. ON OR ABOUT MARCH 22, 2016, ATTEMPT TO START CAR FAILED WITH THE DASH BOARD LIGHT FLASH, HORN ENABLES, AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. HORN ENABLES FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS EACH TIME WE ATTEMPT TO START. AUTOZONE GOLD BATTERY REPLACEMENT PERFORMED BY OWNER. HORN HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT; WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT ONLY ADDRESSED FOR POSSIBLE WIRING CONCERN BUT PASSENGER SAFETY. WITHIN ONE WEEK, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND INSTALLED BY OWNER. WITHIN ONE MORE WEEK, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ON APRIL 13, VEHICLE WAS DROPPED AT ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC MAYBERRY IN COLUMBIA, TN AND MOST OF 4/13 WAS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. ON 4/14, DIAGNOSIS RESUMED WITH FULLY CHARGED REPLACEMENT BATTERY. LOOSE BATTERY CABLE TIGHTENED. NO OTHER ISSUE FOUND. NO SOLUTION FOUND. SUSPECT OWNER WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE DEAD BATTERY WITHIN DAYS. NO HORN FUNCTION.

DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DIES. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND ALTERNATOR BELT REPLACED LAST SUMMER; NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SIMPLY "DIES".

IN 2011, I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 200S. THE LIST PRICE WAS $27, 835. IN 2015, THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLEW OUT COLD AIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. I WENT TO LLOYD'S AUTOMOTIVE AND PAID $300 FOR A HEATING FLUSH AS LLOYD'S INFORMED ME THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. LATER IN 2015 MY HEAT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO LLOYD'S AUTO AND WAS INFORMED THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS ACCURATE BUT CHRYSLER HAD NOT ORDERED A RECALL. OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE HAVING TO HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. I RESIDE IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW ZERO. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED. THIS LIMITED MY SOCIAL OUTINGS AS I HAVE A CHILD AND COULD NOT HAVE HIM DRIVING AROUND IN A COLD CAR. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THE HEATING CORE. *TR

I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 200 AS I AM. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG, I BOUGHT IT USED. AND NOW MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. I AM UNABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY CAR WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR ANY UNEVEN PAVEMENT IN THE ROAD. YOU CAN'T GET ABOVE 40MPH WITHOUT ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES WHICH MY FRONT TIRES IS PERFECT AND MY BACK TIRES ARE SLICK!!! I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. I REFUSE TO PAY ANY MONEY TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT AGAIN. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE 200'S BUT ISN'T FIXING THEM. THIS IS NOTHING TO FOOL AROUND WITH, IT CAN BE AN ISSUE AS TO THE COST OF SOMEONES LIFE, THEN CHRYSLER IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES. I LIKE MY CAR AND I JUST WANT IT FIXED. I CAN'T EVEN GO HOME TO SEE MY FAMILY DUE TO THE FACT OF ME NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS NOT WORTH RISKING MY LIFE. ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAS A 200 WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU VERY CONCERNED DRIVER *TR

THE LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION ON THE DASH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IT DINGS AS IT COMES ON. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT NOW, BUT ONLY 5,000 WHEN THIS STARTED. I AM AFRAID OF A MALFUNCTION IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THEY LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS STARTED LAST JUNE OF 2015 AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY SINCE.

THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS NOTICED IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER STARTING. THE ODOR INCREASES AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND WARMS UP. I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISSIPATE THE SMELL SINCE BRINGING IN OUTSIDE AIR THROUGH THE BLOWER SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE. IT HAS REALLY GOTTEN BAD IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

I HAVE A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 2.4L ENGINE THAT OVER THIS PASSED WEEK HAS STALLED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHOW SIGNS OF "LAGGING" AND WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS JUST SHUT OFF. I AM CURRENTLY A COLLEGE STUDENT AND RELY ON HAVING A VEHICLE TO DRIVE, SINCE I LIVE 6 HOURS FROM HOME. TONIGHT I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND IT STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I WOULD GET ABOUT 100 YARDS AND IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN, FINALLY I GOT A SAFE PLACE TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY APARTMENT. TOMORROW I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS BUT I GO THROUGH THE MENU ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALWAYS SAY "SYSTEM: OK" SO NO WARNING CODE IS POPPING UP. WHICH I KNOW WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND JUST SEND ME ON MY WAY. BUT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE POWERS OFF AND ONE OF THE TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR AND AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN ABOUT IT.

"TAMARA RECALL" WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHETHER IT'S HOT OUTSIDE OR RAINY, MY WIPER BLADES WOULD COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND STAY ON FOR ABOUT A MIN. WHEN I'M ALSO DRIVING, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS WATER RUNNING THROUGH MY CAR. ONCE AGAIN, EVEN ON SUNNY DAYS I STILL HEAR WATER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENS OFTEN, SO THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DATE. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE. I TOTALLY DISAGREE !

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING ON THE EDGE OF THE DOORS , ALL UP AND DOWN THE EDGE OF THE DOORS. THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALL THE DOORS. WE DO NOT HIT OTHER CARS WITH THE DOORS. HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHRYSLER BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ENCOUNTERING THIS.

I BOUGHT MY 200S TO COMMUTE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I DRIVE 114 MILES A DAY. THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE. *DO NOT BUY THIS CAR* IT WAS AN OK CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT. EVERY TIME IT STALLS OUT I LOOSE BREAK AND SEARING FUNCTIONALITY. VERY DANGEROUS. TWICE IT HAS STALLED OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY CAR WHILE ON A MAJOR HWY 45 IN HOUSTON. NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE AND FEEL HELPLESS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME WAS A LOT CLOSER CALL. MY CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON A HWY TO HWY ON RAMP. (ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE LANE DIVIDER) I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BREAK AND ALL MY STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT TO A STOP. AT THAT POINT I HAD CARS BACKING UP BEHIND ME AND HONKING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY. (THIS COULD HAVE GONE A MUCH DIFFERENT WAY. ON A SINGLE LANE ON RAMP FROM BELTWAY 8 TO HWY 249 4-5 STORIES IN THE AIR WITH CARS ALL MOVING AT 45-65 MPH MY CAR STALLED IN A 90 DEGREE TURN. I'M LUCKY I'M NOT DEAD.) I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND NOT THROWING ANY CODES.

ONE MORNING, WHILE DRIVING, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE SWITCH WAS ON OFF. THE FOG AND BRIGHT LIGHTS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE BLINKERS DID NOT FUNCTION. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, NOR SOLVENT WOULD FUNCTION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE TIPM. NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED.

WENT TO BUCKLE UP AND THE LATCH AND THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE DOESNT LATCH. NO CAR SHOULD EVER HAVE THE SEATBELT NOT WORK AS ITS THE MOST CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT ON THE CAR. AND MY CAR IS A 2011 WITH ONLY 54000 MILES. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY AND TOOK TO GARBER CHRYSLER, BUICK WHO SAID THEY LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS NOT COVERED. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AGAIN AND AFTER THEY TALKED TO GARBER SAID ITS NOT COVERED. THIS IS SO UNACCETABLE AS THEY KNOW THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND DON'T FIX THEM.

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. ON 08/31/2015 THE CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND A HARNESS THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SINCE WE DO RUN THE LIABILITY OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE CAR HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

AFTER VEHICLE REACHES HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 30 OR SO MILES THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TIE RODS AND DID A ALIGNMENT. 2 DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS AS WELL AS THE ALIGNMENT WAS WAY OUT OF SPECS, TOOK BACK TO SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED SWAY BAR AND LEFT STRUT AND ALIGNMENT. FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME SOUND IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT RUINING A NEW SET OF TIRES. TAKING BACK TO THE SHOP FOR THIRD AND FINAL TIME.

THERE'S A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE SUPPOSEDLY COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. I HAVE YET TO FIND ANYONE PINPOINT WHAT IT IS PLUS I'M TOLD THE WARRANTY IS UP. I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE NOISE COMING AND GOING LAST YEAR. NO ONE HEARD IT UNTIL MAY 17 WHEN I DROVE ABOUT 40 MILES AT 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. SINCE THE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE NOISE TO START HAS SHORTEN TO DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AT 30 MPH. I CAN'T EVEN GO ACROSS TOWN TO GET GROCERIES W/O THE NOISE STARTING UP AND GETTING REALLY BAD. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALER TWICE AND 2 OTHER MECHANICS I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER THE INTERMITTENT STEERING SHAFT OR THE STEERING RACK. NOW ONLINE I SEE A RECALL ON SOME RIVET. EVEN A CALL TO CHRYSLER ITSELF YIELDED NO RESULTS. I'M TOLD THIS REPAIR WILL COST $1,000 TO $2,000!!! I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY!! PLEASE, PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!! I'M DEPENDENT ON MY CAR!!

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM SOMEONE ELSE FOR OUR 17 YEAR OLD AND WE HAVE HAD IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME NOISE 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT BUT THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END AFTER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINS AND GOTTEN HOT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A BIG COMPLAINT AMONG OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE, I DON'T WONT TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING AND SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO MY CHILD BECAUSE THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE!!!!

WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT TURN ON WHEN I NEED THEM TO. HIGHLY DANGEROUS, I HAVE PULLED OVER IN THE RAN BEFORE BECAUSE MY WIPERS ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE. ADDITIONALLY, WIPERS WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO. NOT AS DANGEROUS, BUT STILL VERY ANNOYING. CHRYSLER TIPM ISSUE, THE SAME ONE AS PREVIOUS ISSUE 18 MONTHS AGO. WIPERS TURN ON RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES WON'T TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. REPLACED THE TIPM 18 MONTHS AGO, AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO PAY (STARTED A TICKET WITH THEIR NATIONAL CUSTOMER CARE). ISSUE HAS RETURNED COMPLETELY 100% IDENTICALLY AS BEFORE. I'M BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I'VE REOPENED THE TICKET. THEY SAID THEY WILL "SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO"

CAR DIED WILL DRIVING. HAD DIAGNOSE AND WAS TOLD ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. HEARD CHRYSLER HAD PROBLEMS WITH 300 MODEL. MY SONS 200S MODEL HAS SAME MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR AS 2011 300 MODEL BUT CHRYSLER SAID 200S MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED. I BELIEVE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE 200S HAS THE 3.6L MOTOR AND 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. SAME MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR THAT THE 300 HAS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS.

MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN. IT WAS LIKE DRIVING MANUALLY. I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 200 TO PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE STEERING WAS FINE FOR A DAY THEN IT WENT BACK TO BEING HARD TO TURN. I TOOK IT BACK TO PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AGAIN. IT LASTED FOR THREE DAYS AND IT WENT BACK TO BEING HARD TO TURN. I AGAIN RETUNED TO PEP BOYS AND THEY THEN SAID THAT MY RACK IN PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET THE WORK DONE. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER, THAT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MY CAR WAS NOT YET 2 YEARS OLD. THIS WAS RIDICULOUS. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FRONT END. I WAS TOLD BY A PEP BOYS MECHANIC THAT THEY HAD WORKED ON OVER 100 CARS (CHRYSLER 200'S) THROUGH ENTERPRISE RENTAL AND THEY HAD SO MANY CARS WITH THE STEERING ISSUE THAT THEY STOPPED WORKING ON THEM AND JUST DO THE TUNE UPS. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT. MY CAR IS STILL IN THIS POSITION. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET REPAIRS DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. I STILL DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG WITH A NEW CAR. NOW I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY TURN SIGNAL. WHEN I TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM. WHEN I TURN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON, THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. I, AGAIN REPEAT, THIS IS A NEW CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE OCCURRENCES. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN ITS SECOND YEAR, AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I LOOK FORW
