2016 Chrysler 200 complaints

CRUISE CONTROL IS GETTING STUCK! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JUNE, 2018 AND EVERY TIME I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR IT GETS STUCK WHILE I'M TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'LL WORK FINE ON FLAT ROADS AND GOING UPHILL BUT WHEN THE CAR GOES DOWNHILL AND THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASES PAST WHAT I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON' THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE RPMS GO UP TO 5 OR 6 (SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE!). I PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T STOP IT, I EVEN MASH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WON'T STOP IT! I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. I'VE NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2016 CHRYSLER 200S DUE TO THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. BUT IT IS GETTING STUCK LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES AND I NEED HELP!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

I HAD A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE YET AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ON JUNE 5TH 2018 I HAD TO DROP MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL I WAS ABOUT EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY FROM HER SCHOOL AND A GENTLEMAN PULLED ME OVER TO LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT MY CAR BECAUSE UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. SO I TURN THE CORNER TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL IN THE PARK CARS CUT THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT THE CAR NEXT THING I KNOW THE CAR BLOWS UP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COMES AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. BUT MY CAR IS AT A TOTAL LOSS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE OR BLEW UP BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. *TT *JS

AS I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (D), THE CAR DISPLAYED A MESSAGE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO THAT STATES SHIFT TO PARK (P) TO START. AS, THAT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK UNTIL THE CAR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I SHIFTED MY CAR BACK TO PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A NOISE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO START WITH THE RPM'S FLUCTUATING TO ABOUT 3 (3000 RPMS) THEN GO BACK TO 0 THEN JUMP TO 1 (1000 RPMS) THEN BACK TO 0 RPMS WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD GIVE OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THEN IT WOULD RESTART AND RUN NORMALLY AGAIN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, DUE TO THE FACT OF HAVING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT GREW AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. LESLIE FROM CHRYSLER GAVE ME CASE ID #: 34798487. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SILVER SPRING LOCATED ON 12511 PROSPERITY DR, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904 TO BRING THE CAR TO GET SERVICED AND THE ISSUE LOOKED AT ON AUGUST 7TH 2018 AT 10:45 AM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED FOR MORE INFORMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THE BATTERY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,800.

THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN SHOWING SINCE 2017 -2018 "SERVICE AIRBAB SYSTEEM WITH THE RED AIRBAG SIGN LIT. THE SIGN COMES AND GOES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND NOT CORRECTED. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CALLED AT THE 18008531403 NUMBER. NOW THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS 2,OOO MILES OVER WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE BUILD DATE OF THIS VEHICLE IS AUGUST 18, 2015. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SAME ISSUE FOR BUILD DATES APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015. THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THIS CAR WAS BUIILT DURING THE TIME . A RECALL IS NECESSARY ON THESE CARS TOO! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. THE COST SHOULD BE BORN BY CHRYSLER.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAME ON AND WENT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES.

EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY CHRYSLER 200 NOV 28, 2017BTHE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING SHORT DRIVE TO THE MOVIES, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL. THEN A MONTH AGO, 06/27/2018 ANOTHER IGNITION COIL FAILED COSTING ME $250, LUCKILY WHEN THE COIL FAILED I WAS IN LINE AT A STARBUCK'S DRIVETHRU. NOW ANOTHER COIL HAS FAILED LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AGAIN, AND NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS PART AND AFTER RECENTLY READING REVIEWS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CALLED OUT, YET THIS VEHICLE IS STILL BE SOLD TO PEOPLE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE IN THIS LAST INCIDENT MY COIL WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING A HEAT ADVISORY. I ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PART THE IGNITION COILS ARE FAULTY AND ARE CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN.

THIS VEHICLE BUILD DATE INDICATED AUGUST 2015 AND IT WAS SOLD AS A 2016 VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMING ON SINCE 2016, 2017 AND 2018 AND I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1 800 853 1403 TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ISSUES CONTINUES. CHRYSLER SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. *TT *TR

STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHILE I TURN CORNERS. MY CAR JUST STALLS AND STOP THEN HESITATES TO CUT BACK ON

VEHICLE SOUNDS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF WHEN STANDING IDLE SOMETIMES AND EVEN SOMETIMES AS I'M SLOWING DOWN. AND RECENTLY TOOK A ROAD TRIP HAD TROUBLE WITH CRUISE CONTROL AS IF IT WAS ACCELERATING ON IT'S ON OR GETTING STUCK. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOUND NO PARTICULAR RECALLS SPECIFIC TO THE VIN. HOWEVER, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT THE CHRYSLER 200 ITSELF HAD RECALLS RELATING TO ELECTRICAL, STEERING AND OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING SEEM TO BE CLOSELY RELATED TO THOSE SPECIFIED IN RECALL

TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH AND UNPREDICTABLE. EACH SHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT IS FELT IN THE THROTTLE(FEELS LIKE ENGINE BRAKING). TRANSMISSION OFTEN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. SHIFTING GEARS SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWNSHIFT SOMETIMES WHEN APPROPRIATE THROTTLE IS GIVEN. BRAKING IS JERKY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ROUGH DOWN SHIFTING. CITY DRIVING IN THIS CAR IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS DUE TO ALL THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SWITCHING GEARS HARD LIKE IT IS SKIPPING A GEAR. SEEMS LIKE IT IS DOING IT BETWEEN 1 & 3 OR DECELERATING 3 TO 1. IT IS WORSE DURING WINTER MONTHS. THE JERK CAN BE SO HARD SOMETIMES.

MY VEHICLE WON'T START WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON. I HAD THE PERSON TOWING MY CAR TRY TO JUMP START THE BATTERIE BUT HE TOLD ME THE BATTERIE WAS FINE AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS SOMETHING ELSE. THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED TIME AFTER TIME AND I FEAR IT MAY LEAVE ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION ONE DAY. PLEASE HELP

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, I WAS AT ABOUT 15MPH WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED AND THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AS I CAME TO A SKIDDING HALT. SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE MESSAGES CAME UP ON THE DASH. THEN WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEARS EVEN WITH THE TRANSMISSION OVERRIDE PULLED. LUCKILY I WAS ON A QUIETER ROAD IN MY TOWN.

WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR HAS STOPPED RUNNING ON 5 DIFFERENT TIMES, 3 OUT OF THE 5 TIMES I WAS IN CRUSIE CONTROL DRIVING ON THE HWY WHEN I LOST ALL CONTROL. THE OTHER 2 TIMES WAS IN TOWN AT A LOW SPEED. CAR IS ON BUT WONT GO ANY WHERE, ITS STUCK IN DRIVE THE ALARMS AND SEVERAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON RPM WILL RUM UP TO ABOUT 2000 BUT STILL WONT DO ANYTHING ELSE. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTING HARD AND DRIVING HARD, QUITE A BIT HAD IT SERVICED 3TIMES, TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED THERE WAS A HOLE IN IT THAT CAME FROM INTERNAL. AIR BAG WIRING HARNAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL, HEAD LIGHT HARNEST HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WIRES WERE SHORTING OUT MY BATTERY, IGINTION HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL DUE TO THE WIRING AND PROGRAM.

VEHICLE STALL WHEN TURNING. OIL PRESSURE POS UP AS LOW EVEN THOUGH OIL GAUGE SAYS FULL. CAR STRUGGLES TO GET IN GEAR. CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6850 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260, (770) 968-4900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR FAILED, AND THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 34043687. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 480.

THE ENGINE MAKE A LOUD NOISE SOUNDS SO BIZARRE I'VE TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANIC SHOPS BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DETECT THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING YOU TO STOP, PLACE IN PARK AND RESTART. UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT STRUGGLES TO TURN OVER. SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH THE CAR HAS SAT FOR AWHILE AND IS COLD. THE TEMP GAUGE SHOWS NOTHING ON IT. I KNOW THE CAR WILL STALL. IF THERE IS A LINE OR MORE ON THE TEMP GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY ISSUES. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO NOT SHIFTING FROM GEAR TO GEAR PROPERLY. IT SEEMS TO NOT CATCH WHEN IT SHOULD GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CAR WILL JERK.

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR POWERS DOWN THEN POWERS BACK UP..THE CARS SCREEN RADIO AND SPEEDOMETER BOARD GOES BLACK AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN..IT HAS ALSO DONE IT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT..THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR BUT IT DOES NOT READ ANYTHING IS WRONG WHEN IT IS HOOKED UP..IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE I WAS PICKING THE CAR UP AT THE DEALER AFTER THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE..IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I'VE FIRST STARTED DRIVING AND AFTER I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR AWHILE. *TT *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MY FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER RIM SNAPPED IN HALF ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WELD LINE.

WHEN VEHICLE NEED SMALL MAINTENANCE SUCH AS OIL CHANGE OR SYSTEM UPDATE, VEHICLE ELECTRIC (COMPUTER SYSTEM) SHUTS DOWN NOT ALLOWING DRIVER TO EVEN TURN ON HAZARDS ON. VEHICLE HAS TO TOWED TO SHOP.

2016 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STARTING HARD AND ROUGH, ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SHUTTING HARD. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES INCLUDING THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGING ON IT'S OWN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING, WIRING SYSTEMS, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND TRANSMISSION RUPTURED. THE POWERTRAIN, CONTROL MODULE, COMPRESSOR, ETC CONDENSER WAS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE STARTS HARD. THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE ON START UP. THE TIRE CAME OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD. THE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED. THERE WAS BODY A RIM DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR SHOP FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. *JS

ON JANUARY 13TH 2018 AT 5AM IN THE MORNING THE CAR WENT INTO A STATE OF EMERGENCY TO WHERE I COULDNT EVEN BREAK AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDNT CUT OFF FOR HOURS. TOOK THE CAR TO RUSS DARROW CHRYSLER FOR SUSPENSIONS ISSUES AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS BECAUSE THEY COULDNT LOCATE ANY CODES FOR WHAT I HAD SAW ON THE CAR. ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST I HAD THE SAME ISSUES THAT OTHER CARS THIS TYPE DID HAVE AND IT COSTED ME $2989 FOR REPAIRS

MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, HAS ONLY 15000 MILES. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. DASHBOARD PROMPT SAYS PUT IN PARK TO START.CAR WON'T START UNTIL AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SEVERAL NEAR MISSED REAR ENDERS CAR STARTED BUT STUTTERING AND NO POWER. FINALLY AFTER SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES ENGINE SMOOTHED OUT. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, BOTH TIMES CAR WAS IN MOTION TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. DEALERSHIP SAID OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED BUT OIL LIFE GAUGE SAID 51% AND OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER 500 MILES.TECH.AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING SAFE ABOUT THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2016. IN NOVEMBER 2017, THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT LOSES POWER AND A THE SCREEN TELLS ME TO SHIFT TO P TO START VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT WOULD START RIGHT AWAY, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL TRIES FOR IT TO RESTART. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC TIME WHEN IT WOULD OCCUR. I COULD JUST BE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE OR COMING OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES OR SO. IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT, RIGHT OR GOING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE SERVICE THAT, OF COURSE, WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THEY SAID THAT THEY "RECOMMEND" A THROTTLE SERVICE EVERY 25,000 TO 30,000 MILES. I WAS AT 38,000 MILES. A RECOMMENDED SERVICE SHOULD NOT CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. SO, I PAID $184.00 FOR THE THROTTLE SERVICE. THREE DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING TERRIBLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING, PARKING, REVERSING, ETC. THE RPM DIAL WOULD SPIKE UP TO 3.5 OR SO, BUT IT WAS CONSTANTLY JERKING WHILE DRIVING. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING OVER A LARGE GRAVELED ROAD THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, AFTER I LEFT THE VEHICLE, I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT MY TRANSMISSION, BUT IT WAS A BAD COIL AND SPARK PLUG. THIS, OF COURSE, WAS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I WAS CHARGED

AFTER A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS PURCHASED FROM ENTERPRISE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY (WIFE AND YEAR TEN MONTH BABE). WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT. TURNS OUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. GOT THAT FIX AND THEN WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL. AT THE MOMENT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WAITING TO GET MY CAR IN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHRYSLER, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A NEW CAR, BUT I NEED TO GET TO WORK AND A BUS CAN'T GET ME THERE. I HOPE THIS IS A SMALL FIX AND I CAN HAVE MY AIRBAG SYSTEM WORKING AGAIN. I WOULD FEEL SAFE. I HAVE READ AND HEAR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF NEW OWNERS WITH THE THE ISSUES AND DEALERSHIPS REFUSING TO SERVICE THE WORK, EVEN ON CARS WITH 30,000 MILES. PLEASE HAVE THIS LOOKED AT OR INVESTIGATED, IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE THAT HAD A TRAILER HITCH. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK PAINS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A YARD AND INSPECTED BY A REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TOWED TO BAY DODGE, 634 W 15TH ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32401, 850-819-7615). THE MANUFACTURER SENT A TECHNICIAN WHO INDICATED THAT THE IMPACT DID NOT WARRANT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, STATED THAT THERE WERE NO AIR BAG RECALLS, AND DID NOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF *TR

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THE CAR, UPON ACCELERATING, STOPPING, PRETTY MUCH DOING ANY DRIVING THE CAR WILL BUBBLE UNDER AND JERK AS IF YOU'RE MANUALLY SWITCHING SHIFTS. IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO HELP BECAUSE THERE'S NO "CODE" THAT FINDS THE PROBLEM. MY CAR ALSO, WILL LOCK THE WHEEL WHILE I'M DRIVING, LOCK THE BRAKE AND GAS AND TURN COMPLETELY OFF AS IF THE BATTERY DIED AND I CAN'T PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR ANYTHING SINCE IT IS LOCKED. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY TO BE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE CRASHES. THE CAR IS NOW SHAKING AND STILL HAVING A BUBBLY FEEL UNDER THE CAR AS IF IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING UP WHILE I'M DRIVING.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DASH BOARD IS FLASHING A MESSAGE THAT THIERS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND TO SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT. THE MESSAGE WOULD FLASH DURING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. CAR IS AT 36738 MILES. I WAS MID TURN AND CAR JUST CUT OFF AND SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES BUT THEY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GO AROUND CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. PUT CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART 3 TIMES BEFORE IT CAME BACK ON.

MY CAR MAKES THIS LOUD NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON AND THE COOLANT METER REACHES ONE BAR ON THE SCREEN AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM BUT ITS NOT NORMAL. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME ITS NOT A PROBLEM THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO MAKE THAT NOISE BUT I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE HIM. THAT NOISE IS VERY LOUD

VEHICLE IS STALLING, COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE IT AS 20MPH, 45MPH, GOING STRAIGHT, TURNING LEFT, TURNING RIGHT. THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL IT'S HAPPENING IS IT LOOSES POWER, STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE CAR DASH SAYS "SHIFT TO P TO START VEHICLE". WHEN I DO THAT, THE CAR TAKES AT LEAST 30-456 SECONDS TO COMPLETELY START BACK UP AND RUNNING. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. I HAVE TRAVELLED COUNTY ROADS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND IT HAS DONE IT ON EACH ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NOT OK AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BLOWN OFF WITH NO RECALL. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT IS 99.9% OF THE TIME IN THE CAR WITH ME. I CAN NOT HAVE THIS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH NOTHING BEING DONE OR RESOLVED OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES WHEN IT HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS WHOM PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTICS THAT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEWARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LOCATED ON 244 E CLEVELAND AVENUE NEWARK ,DE 19711 PHONE 302-731-0100 AND BRANDYWINE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LOCATED ON 3807 KIRKWOOD HIGHWAY WILMINGTON, DELAWARE 19808 PHONE 302- 998-2271. THE DEALERS REPLACED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS HOWEVER; THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE NAME OF THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,464.

WE OWN A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE THAT IS BURNING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. WE ARE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAY IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT ENGINE TO USE A QUART OF OIL IN 750 TO 1000 MILES. THE ENGINE HAS DONE THIS SINCE IT WAS NEW. THEY REPLACED FOULED SPARK PLUGS AND EVEN COMPLETE CYLINDERS ON THE CAR. THE LAST TIME MY WIFE WAITED UNTIL THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE IT HAD USED 5 QUARTS. THE DEALER IS STILL GIVING US THE RUN AROUND AS IS MR STANDER AT CHRYSLER USA AND SERGIO MARCHIONI WHO CALLED THE DESIGNERS OF THE ENGINE 'DUMMIES'. RECALL THESE CARS NOW

AT 49,500 MILES MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME UP ON THE PANEL. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS A PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL AND NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED. HOW DOES AN AIRBAG HARNESS FAIL IN 2 YEARS. SOUND MORE LIKE A DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE AND THEN LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, CAUSING THE AXLE TO DETACH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KENDALL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (13355 S W 137TH AVE, MIAMI, FL 33186, PHONE NUMBER: (786) 231-2000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THE ENGINE IN OUR CHRYSLER 200 LOSES OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STALLS AND WILL NOT RESTART. WE ARE TOLD EVERY TIME 'NO OIL SHOWS ON THE DIPSTICK. IT IS AGAIN IN THE SHOP HAVING BEEN TOWED THERE BECAUSE IT LOST SO MUCH OIL IT WOULD NOT START. THE DEALER IS DEFIANT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS REFUSED TO ACT AND RECALL THE 2016 FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT PROMPTED A RECALL OF THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200. IS IT GOING TO TAKE CONSUMER FATALITIES BEFORE THE NHSTA ACTS. TECALL THESE CARS NOW !

MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, LOCKING EVERYTHING UP. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. PRESS THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON, PLACE MY FOOT IN THE BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON,THE ENGINE WHINES, TRIES TO START, WINDS AGAIN THEN CHUGS A FEW TIMES. AFTER DOING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START. JUST TO DO IT AGAIN. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD MY CAR WAS "ALMOST OUT OF OIL" AFTER WHICH THEY HAD DONE THE LAST OIL CHANGE CLAIMING TO HAVE USED SYNTHETIC OIL. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, HOW DOES A 2016 CAR BURN 4-5 QUARTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL AND THEM NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHY. I SEE THE RECALL FOR 2015 200'S MATCHING EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY 2016.

CAR HAS SHUT DOWN AT LEAST 4 TO 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS LUCKILY. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM BUT YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION.

ON HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 70 MPH. LIGHT CAME ON SAYING POWER STEERING NOT WORKING. KEEPS GOING IN & OUT. HARD TO STEER WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. LIGHT GOES OUT & STEERING IS FINE. DOES THIS IN TOWN TOO.

THE GAS NEEDLE ON MY CAR IS STUCK OR JUST NOT WORKING. I CAN FILL THE TANK AND IT STILL SAYS IT'S ALMOST EMPTY AND IT SKIPS.

WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN GOING BETWEEN 15 TO 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED OUT IN THE TURNING PROCESS.WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS

VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME CHANGING GEARS. WHEN SPEEDING UP VEHICLE JERKS HARD AND MAKES LOUD NOICE IN TRANMISSION AREA. PASSENGERS HAVE NOTICED HOW IT STRUGGLES TO CHANGE GEARS. HAVE TAKEN INTO TO DEALER BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. IT ALSO SEEMS TO SURGE RANDOMLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. AFRAID I'LL HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPAIR.
