IT IS LIKE THERE IS A WALL THAT STOPS THE LIGHT ABRUPTLY, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER DARK AND MY HUSBAND DOES ALSO. ADJUSTING LIGHTS DOES NOT HELP IT IS THE DESIGN. ON OCT 14, 2015 A DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON I NEVER SAW HER IN THE ROAD.

CONTINUES TO HAVE SUSPENSION PROBLEM; NOISE AND FAILURE OF CONTROL ARMS, LEAKING OF WATER FROM HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ROUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFT CHANGE. HORRIBLE CAR, DON'T BOTHER WITH SAME, TO MANY MECHANIC VISITS...

I PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2014, ON 2/24/2015. THE YEAR MAKE OF THE VEHICAL IS 2014 ON THE INSIDE STICKER, BUT THE MODEL # OF THE ENGINE IS 2013. THE VEHICAL WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCK, CLUNKING SOUND AND IT HESITATED TO START. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK, OR ENGINE DAMAGE HAD OCCURED. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCATIONS WITHIN 6 MONTHS. IN MORE THAN 5 OCCATIONS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO SPEED UP, OR TO CHANGE LANES THE VECHICAL ACCELERATING IS STUCK AND KEEPS ACCELERATIMG IN AN UPWARD RHYTHEM. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL DURING TIME THE VEHICAL IS ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED AT HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICAL, HONDA THIS DAY HAD THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY CHRYSLER TOURING 200, 2013 MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH THE VEHICAL, AND NO ADDITIONAL SERVICE NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH WITH SAFECAR.GOV READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS FOR THE CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2013. I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN MORE COURTEOUS, OR HELPFUL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISK, AND PROBLEMS DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CHRYSLER TOURING 200 2013. I WAS TURNED AWAY JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER CUSTOMERS, BUT WHAT IF MY CAR STALLS ON THE FREEWAY, THAN WHAT? MY CAR IS A POTENTIAL DANGER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I FEAR I WILL BE A VICTUM OF THE "LEMON LAW."

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH OUT 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF...THEY ALL COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HAD HE NOT MANAGE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD...TOOK A TRIP TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO COLLEGE 2 HOURS AWAY AND THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING...BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION I HAVE TO STOP DRIVING MY CAR AND THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND WE HAVE SIT FOR AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR TO 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN.

CHUNKING AND SNAPPING PROBLEM IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX OR TIE ROD ENDS. I'VE HAD IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER ON AUG. 16TH. 2015 AND THEY COULDN'T FINE IT. BUT WHEN I WENT ON THE WEB THERE I FOUND HUNDREDS ON COMPLAINTS. I HAD A LIVE CHAT WITH THE NHTSA.GOV AND THIS PROBLEM WAS EVEN ON THE 2011 CHRYSLER 200.

(VIN): 1C3CCBBBXDN... SUMMARY: I STARTED THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO "DRIVE". WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I CHECKED THE MILEAGE ON OUR NEW CAR AND IT READ 139 MILES. I COULD FEEL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGE THEN I FELT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A SECOND ENGAGEMENT BEFORE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. AS SOON AS I BEGAN DRIVING I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST (1ST) GEAR. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHIFTED THROUGH PARK, NEUTRAL AND MANUAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO FREE UP THE TRANSMISSION BUT WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT STILL WOULD NOT TRANSITION OUT OF FIRST (1ST) GEAR EVEN WHEN PUT IN THE MANUAL SHIFT MODE. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS NOT SHIFTING BUT STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A CODE INDICATING ANY PROBLEM.

I AM WRITING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF A DEAL WITH MY 2013 CHYSLER 200 BOUGHT IN 8/2013. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT TO DO A TRADE IN FOR A 2015 AND WAS TOLD BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER IN AVONDALE, AZ THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A CERTAIN SERIAL NUMBER AND SO IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH CHRYSLER DUE TO A DROP IN BLUE BOOK VALUE SOON AFTER I PAID FULL PURCHASE PRICE AT THAT TIME OF $19,000. WITH ALL GAP INSURANCE ETC. I PAID $27,000 FOR THIS CAR. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CAR HAS THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF AND DROPPED THE VALUE DOWN SO LOW IT IS NOT EVEN TRADEABLE OR BUY BACK VALUE IS SO LOW EVEN CHRYSLER WONT TAKE IT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SITUATION. I AM A FORD CAR PERSON AND I HAVE GIVEN CHRYSLER A CHANCE FOR THE LAST 8 EIGHT YEARS AND WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER UP UNTIL THIS POINT WHERE I AM STUCK WITH A 2013 CAR THAT IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH THE VERY COMPANY THAT MADE IT. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MONEY NOR DOES THE BANK WHO LOANED ME THE MONEY FOR IT, WANT TO LOSE ON THE TRANSACTION OF THIS CAR. I WILL GO BACK TO BUYING FORDS ASAP IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I WANT THE MONEY PAID BACK FOR THIS 2013 CAR AND SENT TO THE BANK FOR PAYMENT. CHRYSLER CAN SEND ME A LETTER OF WHERE TO RETURN THIS CAR. THAT IS ONLY FAIR, SINCE IT IS NOT TRADEABLE AT ANY TIME WITH CHRYSLER. I WILL GO TO THE MEDIA HERE IN AZ IMMEDIATELY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND EXPECT A PHONE CALL FROM THE MEDIA. YOU MAY GIVE THIS E-MAIL TO THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO HEA

THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BUT I DO OWN THE CAR NOW THAT IT HAPPENED TO. PASSENGER HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED, DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO BUY A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT SO THERE LOOKING FOR A JUNK YARD ONE. MY QUESTION IS THAT I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A LEASED VEHICLE IN OKLAHOMA WHY WASN'T THIS FIXED THERE?! IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD!

NOW, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A NOISE IF EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. CHECKED ON YOUTUBE AND MANY PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200'S, 2013'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEIR MECHANICS EITHER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OR IT'S 1. STEERING COLUMN 2. OUTER TIE ROD END OR SWAY BAR END LINKS 3. BALL JOINTS 4. BUSHINGS CAN BE WORN ON CONTROL ARMS OF SWAY BAR OR 4.

GAS FUMES WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS AND GAS WAS LEAKING, TOOK TO OLATHE DODGE THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. 3 FUEL INJECTORS AND LOOSE HOSE.

I GOT MY CAR BACK AND TOOK IT 2 BLOCKS AND IT WAS SMOKING BLUE/BLACK SMOKE REALLY BAD, I TOOK IT BACK TO OLATHE DODGE. THEY CALLED ME 6 DAYS LATER AND SAID IT WAS FIXED, I TOOK OFF WORK TO PICK IT UP GOT IN THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND COULD STILL SMELL GAS. THEY KEPT THE CAR AND GAVE ME RENTAL AND CALLED BACK 7 DAYS LATER. THIS TIME IT WAS FIXED.

I KEPT DRIVING TO THE HOSPITAL WITH THE WINDOW DOWN ABOUT 2 INCHES BECAUSE GAS FUMES COMING THROUGH VENTS. I LEFT MY CAR AT HOSPITAL AND CALLED OLATHE DODGE. THEY SAID TO BRING IT DOWN TO THEM. I DROVE IT TO OLATHE KNOWING THAT THE FUMES WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. ON FEB 18TH I WENT TO DR. BECAUSE MY FACE WAS SWOLLEN AND RED. THE DR. SAID THAT I WAS WALKING IN THE COLD, WHICH CAUSED ME TO GET WIND BURNED. I WORK IN DOORS. I CALLED POISON CONTROL TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT GET BACK IN THAT CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED BECAUSE THAT IS

TURN ON HEATER GET CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THEN STOPS. YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME CHRYSLER, WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS 36200 MILES AND IS A 2013. NO CAR SHOULD START HAVING THESE ISSUES AT THIS STAGE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CHRYSLER, BEFORE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL AGAIN.
