THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND.

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.

2012 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RAIN WATER BACK FLOW INTO PASSENGER SIDE FROM CLOGGED TUBE, CUSTOMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED REIMBURSEMENT. *JS

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.

SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS CAUSED LOSS OF HEAT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER PUTTING IN THE WRONG COOLANT.

NO HEAT TO PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR DUE TO PLUGGED HEATER CORE. WELL KNOWN ISSUE CAUSING REDUCED HEAT TO VEHICLE.

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.

COMPLAINT: PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS STUCK WHEN BUCKLED. YOU HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO RELEASE THE BUCKLE.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING SIGNAL

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT IS NOT WORKING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE ISSUE GET WORST OVERTIME AS IT IS NOW AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO PROPERLY DEFROST MY PADSANGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WHICH IS CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN DUE LIMITING MY VISIBILITY . THIS IS DRIVING HAZARD TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS DURING THE WINTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE HEATER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED TO FUNCTION AND PREVENTED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FROM DEFROSTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. UPON STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE HEATER VENTILATION WOULD CIRCULATE HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEFROSTING IS MORE DIFFICULT BEING THAT THE AIR IS NOT WARM IN COLD TEMPERATURES. PRIOR TO THE HEAT NOT WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE A/C STOPPED GETTING COLD TOO. (IT WAS GETTING COLD ONLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE)

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

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

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

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.

I GOT THE CAR FIXED AND TRADED IT IN THE DAY I GOT IT BACK! 3RD FAILURE WAS AT 113K MILES. CAR PURCHASED

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.

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 .

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.

I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200 AND THE ALL HAVE FAULTY HEATER CORE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SUNSET DODGE-CHRYSLER-JEEP-RAM (7745 SOUTH TAMIAMI TRAIL, SARASOTA, FL 34231-6841, 941-922-2400) WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND INFORMED HIM THAT THEY ONLY RECEIVED TWO REPLACEMENT PARTS PER MONTH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER, THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT COLD AIR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE FAILURE BEFORE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE WIPER BLADES COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND STAY ON FOR ABOUT TEN TO FIFTEEN SECONDS. THEY SHUT OFF BY THEMSELVES AS WELL. I CAN'T SHUT THEM OFF.

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.

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.

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.

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 [XXX]! 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.

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.

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.

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
