2016 Chrysler 200 complaints

I START DRIVING AND IT TURNS OFF THE WHOLE ENGINE WITHOUT A WARNING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IN MANY INSTANCES I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS IN MID TRAFFIC THE CAR SHUTS OFF NO WARNING AT ALL. THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT TAKES A COUPLE OF PUSH STARTS TO START UP. I READ A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I MAINTAINED THE CAR WELL SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR IN 2018. A CHRYSLER 200 2016 CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALLEN SAMUELS CHRYSLER (1639 HIGHWAY 45 BYP, JACKSON, TN), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE HOLE SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES. ALL THE SCREENS ALL THINGS THAT LIGHT UP. NOT EVERY TIME, BUT SOMETIMES. THEN WHEN YOU GO TO SWITCH GEARS TO BACK UP THE BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T ALWAYS SWITCH TO BACK UP. IT WILL STAY ON THE SAME SCREEN OR GO BLACK. THIS PART ACTUALLY HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A WEEK.

2016 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE. *LD *TR

AS I AM DRIVING CAR WILL CUT OFF AND TELL YOU TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK. IT THEN WILL STALL WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT BACK UP. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE STREET WHILE IN MOTION.

ENGINE WAS REBUILT/PARTS REPLACED WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF OWING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AGAIN FOR SUDDEN SHOCK WHEN EXCEEDING 45 MPH WHILE DRIVING. TODAY 3/20/19 WAS INFORMED AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE IS SKIPPING AGAIN AT 45+ MPH

ON CITY STREETS WHEN 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 4TH GEAR TO 5TH GEAR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT JERKS THE CAR IN A VIOLENT MANNER. THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE WAS NEW.

MY CAR STALLS WHEN I START TO DRIVE. IF I DON'T LET IT IDLE IN PARK FOR A GOOD 15 MINUTES IT WILL STALL AND TELLS ME TO PUT IT IN PARK. ONCE IT STALLS IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IF I HIT THE SMALLEST POTHOLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND IT GIVES ME A MESSAGE STATING SERVICE AIRBAGS. ALSO THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT CAME UNTRACKED AND CANNOT MOVE IT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WITHOUT IT MAKING A WEIRD NOISE.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE PER SEARCH ON INTERNET. SINCE AIRBAGS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, IS THERE A REASON THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED? POORLY DESIGNED HARNESS UNDER SEATS ALLOWS FOR WIRES TO BE EASILY DAMAGED OR BECOME LOOSE FROM MOVING SEAT OR BEING BUMPED BY BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. RECEIVED ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $2800.00.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK AS IN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE PASSENGER SQUIB DEALERSHIP SAYS HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH SEAT HARNESSES.THE DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT- WIRE HARNESS IN SEAT REPLACED ONCE CAME ON AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD (AND FELT) A LARGE BOOM! THEN THE SOUND OF WIND. MY SUNROOF SHATTERED, LEAVING A HUGE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE GLASS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. LATER, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE WHILE THE ABS INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,854.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STARTER FAILED TWICE AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE STARTED. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOB MOORE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TULSA (4627 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145, (918) 663-6343). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES MY CAR HAS SMELLED OF ANTI-FREEZE. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN, GENE'S CHRYSLER SAID MY CABIN AIR FILTER WAS FLOODED WITH COOLANT AND THAT MY RADIATOR WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAMS. THIS WAS CHANGED AT 36,000 (MARCH 2018) MILES. AFTER THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR, I STILL SMELLED IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "SPRAY" THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY BROKEN. AT 57,000 MILES (JAN 2019) I STILL SMELL IT. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO GENE'S FOR AN AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR AND THEY NOTICED MY RADIATOR IS LEAKING, AGAIN, AND REPLACED IT. NOW, KEEP IN MIND, I AM NOT LEAVING COOLANT PUDDLES ANYWHERE NOR IS MY TEMP SENSOR FOR THE COOLANT REPORTING ANYTHING THAN WHAT IS NORMAL. I AM AGAIN SMELLING ANTI-FREEZE.GENE'S AGAIN TELLS ME THAT IT'S JUST FROM THE SPRAY.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING JUST FINE UNTIL I WENT TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT I WAS PARKED IN. I PUSHED THE BRAKE DOWN TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE GOT HARDER TO PUSH DOWN. IT DISPLAYS ON MY SCREEN THE 'BRAKE' IS ON BUT IT'S NOT. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES WENT OUT BUT IT'S SO HARD TO PUSH THEM DOWN. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THEN ON A MAIN ROAD OR EVEN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER. IT'S NO WAY AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING THIS CAR THAT ANYTHING THIS SERIOUS WITH MY BRAKES SHOULD'VE HAPPENED AT ALL.

CONDUCTED PRE-TRIP SAFETY INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. ALL LIGHTS, MIRRORS, GAUGES, AND SAFETY BELTS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE WARNING LIGHTS, FUEL LEVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY , AND ODOMETER LOG WAS ACCURATE. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS TO INCLUDE VIBRATIONS, UNUSUAL NOISES, OR ODORS DURING INITIAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS RELATIVELY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. THE ONLY UNUSUAL DETAIL WE NOTICED WAS THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL TICKS (PARASITES) INSIDE THE VEHICLE. 0900: ARRIVED ON SITE AT BLUE SPRINGS LAKE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON A GRAVEL ROAD WITH OTHER GOV VEHICLES. 1000: DROVE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES TO A GAS STATION TO USE RESTROOM AND RETURNED TO WORKSITE. THE VEHICLE, ONCE AGAIN, FAILED TO EXHIBITED ANY ABNORMALITIES. 1315: LEFT WORKSITE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON HWY 40 AT 55 MPH. ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE UP WITH AC ON FULL. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90F. 1320: SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AS WE APPROACHED A RED LIGHT. I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE LIGHT AND OBSERVED WHITE AND BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (25% OF MAX). I PULLED INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. WE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED ORANGE FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I INSTRUCTED MR. BAKER TO CALL 911 AND REPORT THE FIRE ALONG WITH OUR LOCATION. I SE

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, IT HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND I NO LONGER CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT. ALL OCCASIONS WERE ON A CITY STREET WHILE BRAKING. THE CAR SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT IT IS SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHILE REMAINING AT ONE SPEED AND THEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. IT OCCASIONALLY SHIFTS HARD AND/OR MAKES AN ODD NOISE IN THE ENGINE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. ON THREE OCCASIONS, IT HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UPHILL RIGHT TURN ONTO A CITY STREET. ON AN ADDITIONAL THREE OCCASIONS IT HAS STALLED WHILE ON A FLAT ROAD, IN MOTION.

DTC B002813 CIRCUIT OPEN HAD TO REMOVE PASSENGER SEAT, DISASSEMBLE, INSTALL UPDATED WIRING HARNESS, ETC. COST $1,800 TO REPAIR. COMPLAINT - THIS EXTENSIVE REPAIR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED FOR THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE CAR. WE FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS CAR DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM MUST BE THIS EXTENSIVE. VERY DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE AND GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDY SANSING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (64348 US-90, MILTON, FL 32570, 850-623-6866) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

THE CAR FIRST STARTED OFF WITH THE SCREEN TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING..WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT HOWEVER A FEW MONTH AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. BEFORE TURING OFF THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO YANK AS IF RESISTING. WE PROCEEDED WITH PURCHASING A NEW BATTERY. THAT WAS 4 MONTH AGO. WE ARE NOW HERE 12/2018 AND THE CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN STARTED TO YANK WHILE DRIVING, TURN OFF WHEN GOING 10-40 MPH AND NOW HAS THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION AND VOLTAGE LIGHT FLASHING. ONCE IT IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINS. IT'S AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREET AND TURNING.

SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE NOTIFICATIONS APPEARED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT, THE SCREEN WENT IN AND OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE TRANSMISSION JUST REVED THIS CAR HAS MAJOR ISSUES ALL OF THIS HAPPED WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 30 MPH THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLING. AS THAT HAPPENED MY TOUCHSCREEN IN THE VEHICLE WENT IN AND OUT AND THE CAR BECAME HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND THEN RELEASE IT AFTERWARDS THE CAR REALLY BECAME HARD TO MOVE. TRANSMISSION JUST REVED AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED ACCELERATING.

PARKING BRAKE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET GOING LESS THAN 15MPH. CHECK TURNS ON BUT NO CODES AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. BIGGEST ISSUE LATELY IS THAT CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEY FAB. BATTERIES HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NEITHER KEY FAB IS RECOGNIZED. CAR CAN BE STARTED, GET OUT AND GET BACK IN AND FAB IS JOT RECOGNIZED. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. THEN WHEN GO BACK, IT SUDDENLY WORKS.

DRIVING FROM SCHOOL CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE. CAR READ PUT CAR.IN P..AFTER DOING SO IT WOULD NOT START UP...AFTER A FEW MIN I HAD TO HOLD THE START BUTTON TO START IT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE...I PULLED OFF AGAIN AND WHEN I STOPPED IT KILLED AGAIN WITH TRAFFIC PASSING ME DOING 80 MPH..I WAS SO SCARED WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE. DROVE HOME NO PROBLEM..NEXT DAY SAME THING STALLED.IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! SOMEBODY HELP US .CHRYSLER IS GONNA GET SOME ONE KILLED. HAS BEEN DOING THIS EVERYDAY..I HEAR MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS AND CHRYSLER DOES NOTHING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOCH NEW TO YOU USED CAR SUPERSTORE (1201 PROVIDENCE HWY ROUTE 1, THE AUTOMILE, NORWOOD, MA 02062, (781)332-4756) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SRS AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NEED TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,900.

WHEN DRIVING, A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND WE WERE TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH A PLUG UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WHICH BENDS EASILY. IT WAS FIXED, BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE ON VARIOUS SITES SUCH AS GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE PLUG SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP IS STUCK ON DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE IN WHICH THE SYSTEM MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A ACCIDENT AND OR MAY GO OFF DUE TO HARD BREAKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR A WHILE AS STATED IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT VEHICLES RANGING IN YEARS FROM 2014 TO CURRENT HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN TAKING MY VEHICLE INTO BE REPAIRED THIS ISSUE DIDN'T POP UP WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. UPON GETTING MY VEHICLE HOME THE AIRBAG LAMP BEGAN APPEARING. I RETURNED MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP/DEALERSHIP TO WHICH I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A CHRYSLER TECH AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SERVICE MY CAR. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TODAY I WAS TOLD THE NEWS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. MY WARRANTY COVERAGE WON'T COVER THIS ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY MATTER. MY AIRBAG LAMP IS ON AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH AND WITH OUT PASSENGERS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ERRONEOUSLY TURN TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (GETTEL CHRYSLER, 2323 TAMIAMI TRAIL, PUNTA GORDA, FL 33950) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,530.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CAN'T DISPLAY HAZARD LIGHTS. MUST RETURN THE CAR TO PARK AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN ON MY WIFE WHEN TAKING MY TODDLER O PRESCHOOL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN! THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

MY CAR IS BURNING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD AND THE CAR DOES NOT WARN YOU WHEN YOU ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. INSTEAD, IT ALLOWS YOU TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHILE ON THE ROAD, IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGE COMPLETED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE DRIVEN 1,000 MILES SINCE THEN. MY OIL LEVEL IS NOW BELOW THE MIN LEVEL. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A DASHBOARD INDICATOR AND THE "OIL LIFE" PERCENTAGE IS NOT ACCURATE.

THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THIS DEFINITELY CAN CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HIGHWAY, IN WHICH IT HAVE SHUT OFF ON ME.

ON 10/12/18 WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY JUST STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND MY GEAR SHIFTER STARTING BLINKING IN NEUTRAL, BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND PUSH TO START WOULD NOT WORK FOR ME TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER A FEW TRIES I WAS ABLE TO GET TO TURN OFF AND TOOK A COUPLE TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN BACK ON. I WAS STALLED AND HAD CARS DODGING ME AND SWERVING IN OTHER LANES WHEN THEY WERE TOPPING THE HILL. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WASN'T ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT DAY AND TOLD ME THEY COULD PROBABLY GET TO IT THE NEXT FOLLOWING WEEK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP IT OFF WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT DECIDES TO TAKE OFF ON IT'S ON AND I HAD TO SMASH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE IT STOP IN ORDER TO NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A PRETTY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE FOR ME AS I HAVE ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF THAT CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I NEVER HAD A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE EITHER. MY ENGINE WOULD ALSO SKIP A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO MY DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HAD ANY WORK DONE TO MY VEHICLE MECHANICALLY BESIDE OIL CHANGES ON A REGULAR BASIS.

I WAS MAKING A TURN THE OTHER DAY AND MY ENGINE STOPPED. THE CENTER MONITOR ON MY DASHBOARD TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

MY RIGHT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT TELL ME WHY OR HOW THE SENOR WAS BROKEN. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT WERE MADE IN 2015 WHICH MINE WAS, BUT THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WASHINGTON ' FIAT-CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 78 2015 CHRYSLER 200 SEDANS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND AIRBAG, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. "DURING SERVICE WORK, THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE HAD EITHER THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE OR THE SEAT CUSHION FOAM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT REPLACED INSTEAD OF BOTH PIECES TOGETHER, WHICH MAKE UP A COMPLETE CALIBRATED SET," NHTSA SAID IN ITS RECALL SUMMARY. "IF BOTH PIECES WERE NOT REPLACED TOGETHER, THE OCCUPANT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CALIBRATED AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY IMPROPERLY DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL, FIAT-CHRYSLER SPOKESMAN ERIC MAYNE TOLD EDMUNDS. THE AFFECTED 200 SEDANS WERE BUILT FROM APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (708-801-3090, LOCATED AT 17225 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING, IL 60438) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE TECHNICIAN TOPPED OFF THE OIL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER 700 MILES. THE CONTACT WENT BACK AND FORTH TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE OIL WAS REFILLED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BE CONDUCTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE MANUFACTURER ORDERED THE DEALER TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,424.

THE CAR BEGAN SHIFTING HARD AND HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THAT ISSUE. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. TODAY, 09-20-2018, THE CAR WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING OFF AND STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS THE SHIFTED TO PARK AND WOULD NOT GO BACK TO DRIVE. IT WAS THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AND THEN SHIFTED IN TO DRIVE. IT NOW SHAKES VIOLENTLY EVERY TIME WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THERE IS ABOUT 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE OTHER ISSUES OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS LOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO SENSOR THAT SHOWS UP ON THE DASH LETTING ME KNOW THE OIL WAS LOW. THE "OIL CHANGE LIFE" IS STILL AT 20% LIFE BUT MY CAR HAS BURNED THRU OVER 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN 4,000 MILES!! I FIND THIS EXTREMELY CONCERNING NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE THAT CAN BE DONE WITH A CAR BURNING THIS MUCH OIL. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALERT TO DRIVERS LETTING THEM KNOW THE OIL LEVELS ARE LOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT BURNED OIL LIKE THIS!

IN THE LAST MONTH, MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. UPON TRYING TO RESTART, IT STRUGGLE TO TURN OVER. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THE CAR DIES EITHER. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TO LET ME KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. EACH TIME MY CAR STALLED I WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY NO CAR WERE COMING OR THEY WERE ABLE TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT AND KILLED WHEN MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ THE NUMEROUS 2015 AND 2016 MODELS HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THE 2016 200 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS SERIOUS, POSSIBLE FATAL ISSUE OF STALLING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS WHEN I WAS AT A STOP AND THEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, OR WHEN I WAS AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (APPROX 10 MPH). I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE DATES AND TIMES EACH TIME MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT.

MY CAR WONT START AND THE BRAKES ARE HARD

WHEN SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES, IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT. I SEE THE SAFETY ISSUE OF IT NOW WHEN I SEEN THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO A 2017 JEEP WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE

SENSOR AREA NEAR FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT, AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT CONNECTOR, THOUGH CODE THROWN THIS TIME WAS FOR LEFT SIDE SEAT DEPLOYMENT SQUIB 1. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH SO MANY AREAS OF THE SYSTEM FAILING DUE TO IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTIONS, THAT THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO FAIL IN IN A CRASH WHEN MOST NEEDED! FAULTS OCCURRED BOTH WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. LOCATION AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL WERE RANDOM WHEN FAULTS OCCURRED.
