2016 Chrysler 200 complaints

CAR STALLS CUTS COMPLETELY OFF NO MATTER SPEED WHEN HAPPENS YOU CAN NOT OPERATE THE. VEHICLE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 LANE FREEWAY WHERE MY CAR STALLED THEN DOES I HAD 2 STOP COMPLETELY THERE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN TRY TO START MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND 2 JUST DO THE EXACT SAME NOT EVEN A MINUTE LATER AND AS OF NOW THAT'S ALL THE VEHICLE WILL DO IT'S NOT DRIVABLE AT ALL UP TO DATE. *TR

SWITCHING THE GEAR KNOB WHEN TRYING TO PARK, IT SWITCHES BACK TO NEUTRAL.. HAVE TO TRY A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY SWITCHES AND GOES INTO PARK.

AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE LOT LOCATED IN MODESTO, CA I DROVE TO MY HOME ADDRESS WHICH IS LOCATED IN ANTIOCH, CA. ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY WILL FIX IT AND TO DROP IT BACK OFF. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS AND DID NOT FIX A THING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF ANY POWER AND GAS CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

SPARK PLUGS HAVE GONE BAD 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN LITTLE OVER A YEAR. OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN DONE REGULARLY. SPARK PLUGS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED UNTIL 100,000 MILES CAR HAS 66,500. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON ROADWAY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE AND THE VEHICLES IS SHUTDOWN BY THE PCM. TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING, POWER, AND CONTROL. THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DISPLAYS A MESSAGE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO START. IT WILL NOT CRANK OR TURNOVER UNLESS YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RESET IT. THE "SAFETY FEATURE" OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE IS TO KILL THE ENGINE COMPLETELY WITHOUT REGARD TO IT'S CURRENT STATUS OF TRAVEL AND MOVEMENT. OUR DEALER, EARNHARDT DODGE IN GILBERT AZ, HAS NO IDEA WHY THIS IS OCCURRING AND WANTS TO CHARGE $600 TO ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE WHY THE FUEL PUMP REFUSES TO ENGAGE WHILE THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE REMAINING. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST YEARS OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES ACROSS THE WEB OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 200 HAPPENING AROUND 45K TO 60K MILES. OURS HAS 60K MILES. SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO OCCUR A FEW YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, DEALER MECHANICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS OR HOW TO REPAIR IT SINCE THEY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT THUS FAR. IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO SHUT DOWN THE FUEL PUMP WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND SHUT DOWN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS RESULTING IN A "DEAD STICK" VEHICLE WITH NO WAY TO STEER OR BRAKE SAFELY. PLUS, ONCE YOU DO MANAGE TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED, NO "EXPERTS" ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ORIGIN

SO I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUNCH IN A NUMBER AT THE CAR WASH AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE DID SOMETHING BUT MY CAR STARTED ROLLING WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO LIKE LITERALLY PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD AND I WOULD TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR AND IT WOULD JUST ROLL WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC THE SERVICE CHRYSLER CENTER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY SAY IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER I WENT AND GOT A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE THE BRAKE BOOSTER RARELY EVER SOMETHING THAT NEEDS REPLACED ESPECIALLY ON A 2016 VEHICLE AND IF IT DOES IT'S ONLY ON VEHICLES THAT ARE OVER 150,000 MILES OR AN OLDER VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE VACUUM LINE TO BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED BC OIL IS LEAKING INTO BOOSTER AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD'VE DID THAT BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME AND THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND IT'S GOING TO COST $717 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD ESPECIALLY DURING THIS PANDEMIC BECAUSE I'M NOT AN ESSENTIAL WORKER AND I DO NOT RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT AND THERE'S ONLY 29,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS LIGHTS COMES ON INDICATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS ONLY CAME ON AFTER I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THERE'S A RED WARNING LIGHT THAT THAT AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIONAL ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AT JEFF WYLER EAST GATE IN BATAVIA OHIO 45102 513-7523447. I ALSO HAD TO PUT THE SAME 200 S IN THE SHOP FOR A MASSIVE OIL LEAK THAT ONCE I NOTICED IT AND THEN HAD IT CHECKED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISOR THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE 3.6 L ENGINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE THAT THERE WAS A TSB OR SOMETHING ON IT SO I DROPPED IT OF AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION TO FIND OUT MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER CRACKED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $200 LIFETIME WARRANTY I HAD ON THE CAR.

TO BE HONEST I JUST BELIEVE I GOT USE TO IT!!!

ERROR THROTTLE CONTROL SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC

VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY STALLS "SHUTS OFF" WHILE DRIVING THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEN THE CAR STARTS UP AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC STATES THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT HAPPENS AT THE SHOP... THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SEEING THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING IT'S TURNING OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED WITH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION.... WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT MY RECEIPT FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT, HOWEVER IT HAS STARTED AGAIN

WHEN DECELERATING AT EITHER A RED LIGHT OR TO TURN, CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNINGS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THIS STARTED ALMOST A MONTH AGO. THEN TODAY EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. ALL ELECTRICAL LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOWED.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW WEEKS. IT HAPPENED. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP BUT, ALL THEY TOLD ME TO DO WAS TRACK MY OIL CHANGES BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

THE CAR HAS TO MUCH TORQUE THAT THE VEHICLE SLIDES AND LOSES CONTROL AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE STEERING IS TO LOSE WHEN I TURN IT MOVES TO QUICK AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE CAN'T CATCH UP.

I TOOK MY 2016 CHRYSLER AND IT HAD 66,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS OUT AND IT WAS A KNOWN REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE AND I'VE BEEN SMELLING LIKE OIL BURNING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS ON THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT BUT I ASKED HIM I SAID WELL YOU SAY YOU REPAIR THESE AND IT'S UNKNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT THE OIL COOLER FAILS AND IT LEAKS IN THE VALLEY PAN UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE SO YOU MAY NOT SEE THE LEAGUE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT'S EVEN LEAKING UNTIL IT BUILDS UP SO HEAVY UNDERNEATH THAT VALLEY P.M. UNDER THE ENGINE AND YOU MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL IN THE CAR RUNNING WITHOUT OIL GETTING BAD GAS MILEAGE MY CAR IS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 S V6 3.6

VEHICLE WENT IN FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TWICE RIGHT BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTH TIMES. JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 75K MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ADVISED THE WHOLE WIRING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED. GOT IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO STATED THEY ARE WILLING TO ONLY PAY FOR THE $1200+ PART BUT THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400 IN LABOR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON. TYPICALLY WHEN ENCOUNTERING A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE. SAFFORD JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN WINCHESTER VA IS THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CONTINUED SERVICE AT THE SAME LOCATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND CURRENTLY THERE AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. IF THIS CAN BE SETTLED IN ANY MANNER, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER PROVIDE A REFUND FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND RUNNING.

FOR ABOUT 30K MILES NOW MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN CHARGE MUCH, MUCH MORE TO "FIX" THE AIRBAGS. WHY ARE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED NOT ALWAYS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A THIRD PARTY TECH THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND CHRYSLER SEEMS TO THINK OUR SAFETY IS NOT WORTH COVERING THIS ISSUE.

THE SENSOR THAT IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, SIGNALLING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AS A CONNECTION BECOMES LOOSE AND WILL DIS-ATTACH. THIS WILL ALERT MY CAR TO SERVICE AIRBAGS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHILE TRAVELING OVER 40 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,647.

TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX AIRBAG THEY SAY THEY FIXED BUT EVERY TIME IT WAS NEVER FIXED AND THE LAST TIME THE DEALERSHIP EVEN KEEP MY CAR FOR THREE DAYS.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL ALTHOUGH WE PERFORM ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE.

I AM ASKING YOU TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. YOU INVESTIGATED THE 2015 MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED AS A RESULT. THE 2016 IS JUST AS DANGEROUS. IS THERE A REASON WHY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO DRIVE 2015 MODELS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE OR MY CHILDREN? IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS! THE STEERING CUTS OFF TOO. I HAVE TO FIRST STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING, SHIFT INTO PARK, PUSH START, AND WAIT, WHILE I BRACE MYSELF FOR THE IMPACT THAT IS ABOUT TO SHATTER MY SPINE OR KILL MY CHILDREN! IT BEGAN AS SOON AS I HIT 60K MILES A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TURNING, SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TURN OFF, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT IS SUDDENLY IN NEUTRAL AND MAKES REVVING SOUNDS WHEN I HIT GAS BUT WONT GO, THAT'S WHEN MESSAGE SAYS 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION'. I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND ALMOST HIT A POLE! IT MAY START UP WITH FIRST TRY, OR A FEW TRIES. IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY BUT THAT MAY BE BECAUSE I AM TOO AFRAID TO GO THAT ROUTE ANYMORE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I PAID CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A PENNY TO FIX THIS, BUT IF I OR MINE ARE INJURED I WILL SPEND EVERY CENT I HAVE ON A LAWSUIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MATTER.

AS I WAS DRIVING I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING ONE OF MY CHILDREN BEGAN TO COUGH AS I LOOKED BACK AT HIM AND THEN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AGAIN I SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD AREA SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE RODE AND GOT BOTH OF MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR AS WE MOVED AWAY FROM THE CAR THE SMOKE BEGAN TO GET THICKER AND THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS MY CAR WAS UP IN FLAMES. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS NORMAL NO ALARMS GOING OFF ON CAR BEFORE OR WHILE CAR WAS SMOKING. I WAS ON A CITY STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SURGED AHEAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

IVE HAD A CHRYSLER BEFORE. I SUSPECTED THE NEWER MODEL TO BE IMPROVED... UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME ITS JERKING LIKE THE OLDER MODEL AFTER HAVING TUNE UPS DONE TWICE. ALSO ITS GOING DEAD WHEN I TURN LEFT AND GIVING ME A MESSAGE (PERFORMANCE SHIFT DISABLED) TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE BAD PART IS IM ALWAYS ENTERING AN BUSY INTERSTATE. ITS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR TWO WEEKS. THE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE IS WAY TO FAMILIAR TO ME. MY LAST CHRYSLER ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORST AND WORST AS WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2019. VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE CAR IS AT COLLEGE, OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN HER AREA WILL NOT FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE BECAUSE THE VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I'M AT A LOSS SINCE THE COST OF REPAIR IS HIGH. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SHE IS GOING TO SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIPS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY BE HURT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM-FREE? THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CAR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON OR ABOUT THE DATE LISTED BELOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY 200 VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIR BAG LIGHT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, ABOUT MAY, 2016. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED SO I IGNORED IT. THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AFTER MAY, 2016 DATE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE LIGHT. IT REMAINS ON TO THIS DATE. REPAIR ON TIRE THAT SHOWED A LIGHT WAS REFUSED ON JUNE 7, 2017. THIS TIRE LIGHT REMAINS A PROBLEM. NOW, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT STALLING AND WILL NOT RUN WHEN IT RAINS. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE BLOCKED BECAUSE I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS TO GO UPHILL AFTER IT STALLS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. NOW, I WARM THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES TO SHOW THE ENGINE IS READY. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FAILED EMISSION TESTING IN SEPT. 2019. THE TUNE UP DONE THIS MONTH DID NOT HELP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MATTERS CAUSED THE EMISSION TESTING TO FAIL. MY COMPLAINT IS DIRECTED TO THE GAS PROBLEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR ALONG WITH THE TIRE LIGHT.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW MORNINGS. IT HAPPENED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT EACH MORNING. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TAKING INTO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AFTER READING OTHER STORIES VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, I'M NOT VERY HOPEFUL.
