2013 Chrysler 200 complaints

ON OCTOBER 28TH, 2014 I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WITH COMPLAINTS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE ALARM WAS PERFORMING WITH UNPREDICTABLE TENDENCIES AND WAS NOT DISARMING IN ORDER TO ENTER THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING A RENTAL FOR TWO WEEKS THAT CAME OUT OF MY POCKET THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO FIX IT.I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK KNOWING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED.THE RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PROGRESSED AND THE CAR IGNITION BEGAN HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES. ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED TO 'OFF ' THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD SAY 'KEY IN IGNITION' ALTHOUGH THE KEY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN AND HOLD THE KEY TO THE 'ON' POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER. ON DECEMBER 15TH, 2014 I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER AT ALL.I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE THE SOUNDS AS IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER AT LEAST 10 TIMES WHILE THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION. ON JANUARY 15TH, 2015 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID THAT HE WAS ADVISED BY MY CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO CALL AND TELL ME THAT I HAD TO COME AND PICK UP MY CAR ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), THE BATTERY, AND THE CLOCK THAT FLICKERS YET THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES REPEATED EVEN AFTE

WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1 GEAR TO THE OTHER THERE IS A NOISE AND A JERK. THE RPM ALSO GOES UP VERY HIGH WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AS IF IT IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. IT WON'T SHIFT UNTIL I STOP ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE 1ST TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND A FLASH WAS SENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK BACK A 2ND TIME AND TOLD THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS MODEL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CAN IMAGINE THE PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE LATER. THEN TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IS DISCOURAGING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LEAVING WORK, I GOT UP TO ROUGHLY 55MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 30K MILES SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. NO CHECK ENGINE OR CHECK BATTERY LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT NEARLY EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 55 TO 0 AND I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT SINCE I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON AND WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED I HAD NOT LEFT THE RIGHT LANE YET. HAD I BEEN ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE HIGHWAY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE IT DID NOT END IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH THAT IT MUST HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY WIFE OR INFANT CHILD IN TO A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUT OFF AT A SPEED OF 55MPH. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V282000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INFORM WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. DJR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PRESSED. AFTER THAT 1ST INCIDENT IT'S HAPPENED MORE OFTEN THAN NOT AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE THINKING THAT WE NEED TO PULL OVER WHEN WE DON'T. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS, BUT IT'S A NEW VEHICLE AND IF THIS CONTINUES IT'S GOING TO CAUSE ME POSSIBLY GETTING A TICKET WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHICH IS SOMETHING I'M GOING TO PURSUE CHRYSLER PAYING BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE WENT TO SHAKING REALLY BAD AND IT CUT OFF THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT BLINKED A COUPLE OF TIME SO I WENT TO PARK IT THE NEXT MORNING HAD IT PUT ON A MACHINE IT READ CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE SO I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED AN SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH I CLEARLY EXPLAINED WHAT THE MACHINE WAS READING FROM THE CODE FROM THE ENGINE LIGHT NOW THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DIDN'T NOT CRANK UP KEEP TRYING HEARD A POPPING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING GOT CAUGHT IN THE FAN AND GASOLINE WAS SPILLING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR 13 CHRYSLER 200. *TR

NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 I NOTICED THAT EVERY FEW DAYS I HAD TO GET AIR IN MY TIRE. WHEN I HAD MY VERY FIRST SERVICE I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND PUT AIR IN THEM. THEN IT WAS THE SAME EVERY FEW DAYS PUT AIR IN TIRE. WELL ON NEXT SERVICE IT WAS THE SAME OLD THING NOTHING WRONG PUT AIR IN TIRES THIS JUST KEEPS GOING ON. WELL WHEN IT WAS TIME TO ROTATE TIRES THEN THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE WORSE. HAD TO GO FROM EVERY FEW DAYS TO EVERY OTHER DAYS AT NEXT SERVICE GOT THE SAME STATEMENT NOTHING WRONG. NOW ITS GOT TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PUT AIR EVERYDAY AND NOT JUST ONE TIRE BUT ALL OF THEM. I JUST NOW GOT TO 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR. ALSO THEY SAID AND TRIED TO TALK ME INTO GETTING NITROGEN PUT IN WHICH COST MONEY AND IF YOUR ON THE ROAD AND YOUR TIRE GOES LOW YOU CAN'T PUT AIR IN A NITROGEN TIRE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE TIRES KEEP LOOSING AIR BUT THIS IS DARN RIDICULOUS. ALSO LIKE ANOTHER PERSON REPORTED QUITE SOME TIME AGO MY BRAKES MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN BACKING UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE ROAD WAS DIFFICULT TO VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT EVERYDAY SQUEAKING INSTEAD. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND IS NOW A BREAKING SQUEAL EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AS I'VE INVESTIGATED. IF THEY KNEW THIS, WHY WOULD YOU SELL A CAR TO SOMEONE? TO ME, THIS IS A FRAUDULENT ACT WHEREBY THEY INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED THIS VEHICLE AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. NOW THEY SAY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO CHRYSLER, NOT ONLY THAT THEY CAN'T RESOLVE IT, BUT EVERY TIME I STOP, IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEM. *TR

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CHRYSLER 200, I HAVE 39540 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND MY PROBLEM STARTED ON 11/11/14. AS I WAS DRIVING I COULD HEAR AND FEEL A POPPING IN MY STEERING COLUMN. I WAS DRIVING AT 5 MPH WHEN I NOTICED IT, I PULLED OVER TO CHECK TIRES. IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING TURNS VERSES JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. MY SON TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND UPON INSPECTION, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIE RODS AND RACK AND PINION ARE WORN AND HAVE A LOT OF PLAY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2013 AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUES WITH STEERING MECHANISM, WHICH THEY SAY IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO RON BOUCHARD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES TO HAVE AIR BAG LIGHT REPAIRED AND TODAY 11/05/14 AND MY LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DON'T KNOW IF BAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN CAR. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT POPPED OPEN AND STRUCK HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD CAUSING HEAD AND NECK PAIN. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. *TR

WHEN I FIRST GOT MY CAR I NOTICED IT PULLING TO THE RIGHT TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $85 FOR ALIGNMENT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO DO IT TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID IT WAS IN THE STEERING I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SERVICE MAN'S EXACT WORDING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HR AND I HAD A BLOW OUT ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER SAFELY. TOOK THE TIRE TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT WAS WORN FROM THE INSIDE NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ANYWAY WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WE ASKED THEM WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS STEERING PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CAUSE I HAVE TO HOLD TIGHTLY TO MY STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT FROM NOT GOING TO TO THE RIGHT. PLUS I SEE THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES SQUEALING AND THE CAR JERKING INTO GEAR PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. MY CAR HAS JUST TURNED A YEAR OLD. THANK YOU. *TR

2013 200 LIMITED V6 THE BRAKES SQUEAL FROM WHAT HAS BEEN BLAMED ON CORROSION, THE FIRST IN MY 20+ CARS. THE DEALER DID A RESURFACING AND ADDED A SQUEAK TO THE SQUEALS. NOW AT 37K MILES I HAVE TO SUFFER TO WATCH PEDESTRIANS TURN AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT ALL THE NOISE IS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT LIGHTS. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHTS I NOW KNOW WHY THE ON-COMING CARS ARE ALWAYS FLASHING ME, THE LIGHTS ARE ANGLED UP TO COUNTER ACT THE ISSUE.

WE DRIVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200, 3.6L V6. WE HAVE 12,500 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS MONTH WE ARE EXPERIENCING A STALLING PROBLEM AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN GETTING READY TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM EXISTED AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT DIED TWO TIMES IN TEN MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. I CHECKED ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY 200. THERE IS AN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V043000 (FEB 06,2013) THAT IS CATEGORIZED AS FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. THIS MAY BE THE ISSUE BUT THE CHRYSLER DEALER DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS RECALL IS FOR A GAS TANK THAT HAS A BROKEN CONTROL VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. I THINK THAT MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR COULD BE ONE THAT WAS DISCOVERED TWO YEARS AGO ON 2011 CHRYSLER 200 WITH 3.6L V6 ENGINES. MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHEN IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP WITHOUT A WARNING SIGN AND NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHT. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I BELIEVE THAT IT LET ME START IT WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. MY CAR HAS STALLED (4) TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THE NHTSA OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO STALLING PROBLEMS ON JUNE 22, 2012. IT COVERED AN ESTIMATED 87,288 VEHICLES. CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THEY HAD IDENTIFIED A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DEFECT IN THEIR 3.6L ENGINES. THE PCM WAS INITIATING A PURGE MONITOR CHECK WHILE THE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE OR SLOWING DOWN. THE PURGE RESULTED IN AN "OVERLY RICH VAPOR CONDITION THAT CAUSED THE ENG

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 11/2012. IT IS 2013 200S WITH THE V6 ENGINE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TORQUE PULL ON BOTH TAKE-OFF AND ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT IN A SHORT DRIVING DISTANCE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ONLY TO HAVE THEM SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 2000 MILES, IT NOW HAS 10,500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DO KNOW THE TORQUE PULL ISSUE IS BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE LINE DESIGN, THE V6 SHOULD HAVE A LIMITED SLIP UNIT, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT NOW. THE OTHER ISSUES THEY CAN, BUT WON'T BECAUSE IT COSTS MONEY. CHRYSLER GOT MY MONEY BUT NEVER AGAIN. I'M GOING ELSEWHERE TO PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED DUE TO LACK OF FUEL DESPITE THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATING THAT THERE WERE 40 MILES OF TRAVEL REMAINING BEFORE NEEDING TO REFUEL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF, THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS AND INTERIOR LIGHTING WOULD ENGAGE SPORADICALLY AND INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD INCREASE ABNORMALLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 605

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY. THE RPMS RUN HIGH AND MANY TIMES DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5 GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER HAVE BEEN TOLD "THAT IS HOW THIS CAR DRIVES", "IT IS OK TO RED LINE YOUR CAR". AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THE DEALERSHIP GM FINALLY AGREED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THE "FLASHED" MY CAR. AFTER THAT I WAS GETTING 30 MPG HIGHWAY AND IT WAS SHIFTING WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS. LESS THEN 5,000 MILES LATER IT IS BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT IS FINE, YET I AM AVERAGING ON THE INTERSTATE 22 - 25 MPGS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE I AM RECEIVING. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP. AT ONE POINT IT STALL GOING ABOUT 20MPG. THIS IS REALLY UNSAFE, WITH NO SIGNS IT JUST STALLS. *TR
