2013 Chrysler 200 complaints

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE IN VERO BEACH, FL, ON 8/29/2017 WHO DETERMINED WHICH MODULES NEEDED REPLACEMENT RELATED TO MY RECALL (S61/NHTSA 16V-668). I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE PARTS REQUIRED ARE BACKLOGGED NATIONWIDE. IT HAS BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS SINCE I INITIALLY RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE CONTINUE TO BE AT RISK. WHEN WILL THE PARTS BE AVAILABLE?

TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WOULDN'T START. I REMOTE STARTED MY CAR WITH THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE CAR RAN NORMAL ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH LITE UP, RADIO WAS PLAYING, AIR ON EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT SHUT RIGHT OFF BEFORE I COULD EVEN TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION. THE RED SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASH BY THE SPEEDOMETER. NOW THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL START IS IF YOU REMOTE START THE CAR, UNLOCK IT AND PUT KEY IN IGNITION AND TURN TO ON POSITION. BUT SOMETIMES IT STILL DOESN'T START THAT WAY EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRY IT A COUPLE TIMES. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR ASAP!!! I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY 6 MONTHS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

I WAS GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE AND I WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD VERY HARD WHICH SORT OF STUNNED ME. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I COULDN'T SEE A PROBLEM UNTIL I GOT OUT OF THE CAR THEN I DISCOVERED THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED.

I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER 2013 3 1/2 YEARS AGO THIS YEAR IT STARTED CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING I WOULD BE IN MY GARAGE START THE CAR UP BACK IT UP JUNE IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF ONE TIME I WAS ON THE ROAD DRIVING AND I JUST STOPPED I HAD TO RESTART IT

WE HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM FOR THE HARD STEERING. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS GOING OR HAS GONE OUT WHICH LEADS TO THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. THE HARD STEERING HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING. IT IS ALSO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SHIFTING,RACING RPMS,BANGING AND CLUNKY PLUS THE GEARS ARE SEARCHING. THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ALONG WITH ITS RECALLS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE WHEN PRESENT OR ENGINE LIGHT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT CALL IT NOT WORKING. BUT THEY STATE ITS WORKING FINE BECAUSE NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER GAVE ME A HARX TIME WITH IT AS A TRADE IN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY HEAR THE NOISE BYT STATE THEY ARE FINE WHEN IN FACT THEY DONT ALWAYS STOP WHEN PRESSING DOWN. MY FRONT END AND STEERING HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND REPLACED SO MANY TIMES . THE FRONT END SCAPES CLUNKS STILL. I EXPLAINED TO BOTH CHRYSLER CORP AND ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER IN WEST PALM BEACH. IM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE A BAD CAR SERVICE RECORDS STATE ALL THE REPAIRS. AND THE DEALER IS NO HELP WHEN THE CAR WAS BUMBER TO BUMBER COVERAGE . ALL THEY DID WAS YEAR DOWN TAKE APART WHICH THEY HAVE DONE SHOTTY WORK. AND RIPPED OFF ME . I HAVE NO RECOURSE THAN TO BE STUCK WITH THIS SO CALLED DREAM CAR OF MINE. $30,000 INVESTMENT DOWN THE TUBES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (SCHUMACHER CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP IN DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT *TR

I AM ALWAYS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE LIGHTS DON'T WANT TO TURN ON. THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WANT TO SWITCH ON. THE FANS DON'T WANT TO TURN ON. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THE CAR WILL BE IN DIFFERENT MOTIONS AND SO THIS SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO START IT OR SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT CAN END UP BEING DANGEROUS WHAT IF THE ELECTRICAL GOES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A LEGIT BUSINESS, NORTH AMERICAN AUTO GROUP. THEY ARE RIP OFFS. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD AND TOLD ME I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT MAKING MUCH OFF THE CAR FOR THEM TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THOSE, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WENT BACK TO LET THEM FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO BRAKES AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY, THAT'S UP TO ME TO GET CHANGED ON MY OWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR HAS LEFT ME WITH A DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. THE STRUTS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY, 2017, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH THE MESSAGE "GASCAP" SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE GASCAP THREE TIMES. I DON'T SEE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN IN 2013 ON THE CAR FAX REPORT FOR FUEL TANK PROBLEM RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS SINCE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COLD AIR WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT WHEN THE DEFOGGER WAS ACTIVATED, WHICH PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD FROM DEFROSTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TOA A THERMOSTAT WAS CLOGGED WITH GLUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE GLUE THAT WAS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS MELTED AND CLOGGED THE DEFOGGER LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, THEY NO LONGER BLOW ANY WARM OR HOT AIR, WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ON MAXIMUM HEAT. THE HEATER CORE IS BLOCKED WITH SLUDGE. WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED, THE COOLANT WAS MIXED WITH A MACHINING OIL THAT IS DESIGNED TO PLUG ANY PINHOLES THAT DEVELOP IN THE RADIATOR. OVER TIME, THIS ADDITIVE CAUSES SLUDGE TO FORM IN THE COOLANT. THAT SLUDGE BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM DOES NO GOOD. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN ADVISING DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISORS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, OIL COOLER, AND OVERFLOW TANK TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS COMMON ON 2012, 2013, AND 2014 CHRYSLER 200'S. THE PICTURES I HAVE ATTACHED SHOW THE SLUDGE IN THE OVERFLOW TANK THAT FORMS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. THE PLUGGED HEATER CORE PREVENTS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FROM WORKING, CREATING HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS BLOCKED VISIBILITY WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGGING OVER, PARTICULARLY DURING WINTER MONTHS. ADDITIONALLY, SNOW OR ICE PRECIPITATION BUILDUP ON THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE MELTED WHILE THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED.

ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE RPMS REVVED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE 20 MPH OR THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE RIEHL'S ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (25800 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, (586) 859-2500) WHERE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO MIKE RIEHL'S ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A SAFETY RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE FOR THE REPAIR FOR 2-3 MONTHS NOW WITH NO LUCK.

BOUGHT CARE USED FROM THE DEALER 9 MONTHS AGO AND AT APPROX. 52,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR DECELERATED TO 30MPH AND LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. LUCKILY I COULD PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND WHEN I STOPPED THE ENGINE SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY THEN CUT OFF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR OVER A DOZEN TIMES TO GET IT HOME. FINALLY GOT IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY HAVE REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND COMPUTER. STILL AT THE SHOP AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE BILL IS ALMOST $600 AND I DON'T HAVE A WORKING CAR . AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAPPENS TO THIS CAR. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE CARS AND REFUND ALL MONEY SO WE CAN BUY A CAR THAT RUNS AND WILL NOT POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE.
