LEAKING OIL FROM OIL ADAPTER HOUSING. HOMETOWN CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT OVER 72,000 OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE, SO I LEFT IT A DEALER TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE PART. WHY HASN'T THIS BECOME A RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE SEAT BELT WOULD INADVERTENTLY UNLOCK. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,396.

I RECEIVED RECALL ALERT FOR CODE V51 (RE-PROGRAM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OVER A YEAR AGO (DEC 2019) AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GIVING THE RUN AROUND. I'VE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND EVERY TIME I'M TOLD THE MANAGER WILL START MAKING CALLS TO OWNERS FOR THE RECALL BUT NO SUCH THING HAS OCCURRED.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, CAR TURNED OFF AND BRAKES LOCKED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD OF GOTTEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT. WHEN MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CHECK AND IT SAYS NO RECALLS.

MY CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE HORN BLOWS RANDOMLY AND IT IS HARD TO STOP IT. IT IS HARD TO STEER WHEN THE CART SHUTS DOWN.

PASSENGER HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT A CAR ACCIDENT. IT WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

VIBRATING/SHAKING WHILE AT STOP/REST SHUTS OFF STARTS BACK UP NO WARNING LIGHTS NO SPEED ABOVE 30MPH NOISE I CAN HEAR INSIDE VEHICLE AS WELL AS ACCELERATION MAKES RATTLE NOISE

THE CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING IN SOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION I NEED TO GET HELP IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED ASAP

IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ..WITHOUT NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THAT THERES ANY PROBLEM.. THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS GOOD AND MY ALTERNATOR IS GOOD AS WELL . IT SHUT OFF ON ME MORE THAN THREE TIMES.

ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHRS) ON DRIVER'S SEAT DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. SOME BROKEN PLASTIC PARTS FELL OUT. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE CAR AND NOTICED ONLY WHEN NECK GOT UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE SITTING.

2014 CHRYSLER 200 126K MILES SEPT. 8, 2020 SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT. APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE A TIRE BLOWING OUT. YET DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE OUTSIDE AND FOUND NOTHING AMISS. ENTERED VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE AND LOOKED OVER AND SAW PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. REWIND TO NOVEMBER 2019 SAME CAR AT 120K MILES. SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE PARKED AND ENGINE OFF. KEY NOT EVEN IN THE IGNITION. SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND MY HEAD WAS THROWN FORWARD IN A VERY FAST MOTION. LOOKED UP TO SEE IF I HAD BEEN REARENDED SOMEHOW AND NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN SIGHT. GOT OUT OF THE CAR HAD A LOOK AND FOIND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WALKED BACK TO THE CAR AND NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATS HEADREST HAD EXPLODED THUS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE AND MY HEAD TO FLY FORWARD. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PAST MAKE AND MODELS FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP HAVE RECALLS ALL THE WAY UP TO ABOUT 2013. HOW IS THIS STILL AN ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET , AGAIN? THIS IS SERIOUSLY CONCERNING. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED? WHAT IF I HAD ONE OF MY TEENAGERS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR A PASSENGER FOR THAT MATTER.

WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR, MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF. I CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 AND MY CAR WILL JUST DEAD STOP. I LOSE POWER IN MY STEERING WHEEL, MY BRAKES STOP WORKING. YOU CAN'T EVEN PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON WHEN I TRY, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR IVE HAD THIS CAR. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY.

CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS CRUISING, ACCELERATING, OR DECELERATING. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, SOUNDS, OR VISUAL CUES TO INDICATE ANY SORT OF PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST WILL ALSO SHUT DOWN. AFTER THE STALL: IT DOESN'T TRIGGER ANY ERROR CODES FOR AN OBD-II READER, MEANING TECHNICIANS WONT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WILL DO THIS AT ALL SPEEDS, EVEN ON THE HIGH WAY, OR PLACES THAT MAY NOT HAVE A PLACE TO PULL OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

HEADREST EJECTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING NECK PAIN. *TR

WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE AND WANTED TO CHANGE THE TIRE TO A SPARE, BUT FOUND THAT NO AMOUNT OF TORQUE WOULD LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS. AFTER TRYING TWO DIFFERENT LUG WRENCHES, I ENDED UP HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I HAD A WARRANTY WITH FOR THE TIRE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT ALL OF THE LUGNUTS ON THE TIRE WERE DEFECTIVE (AND LATER ADDED THAT ALL OF THE OTHER LUGNUTS ON THE CAR WERE AS WELL). THEIR DEFECT IS THAT THEY HAVE A NON FERROUS (TIN?) COATING ON THEM THAT SHEARS OFF WHEN TORQUE IS APPLIED. THE LUGNUTS ATTACHING THE TIRE / WHEEL HAD TO BE HAMMERED OFF TO BE REMOVED. I HAVE SINCE HAD ALL OF THESE LUGNUTS REPLACED (EXCEPT FOR ONE) AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I BELIEVE IT I HAD BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I ENCOUNTERED THE FLAT AND THE DEFECTIVE LUGNUTS, IT WOULD HAVE PUT ME AT PERSONAL RISK WHILE TRYING DESPERATELY TO REMOVE THEM - NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY TRYING TO DO SO. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT "NO ONE WAS AT FAULT" FOR THE DEFECTIVE LUGNUTS. I TOOK EXCEPTION TO THIS, BEING OF THE OPINION THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THESE LUGNUTS WAS VERY MUCH RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

CAR DELIVERED AND PURCHASED FROM MCCLUSKY CHEVROLET, SMITHJ@ONLINE.CARS, CINCINNATI, OH TO FARRAGUT, TN ON 02/25/2020 IN EXCELLENT DRIVEABILITY CONDITION. CAR PERFOMANCE WAS EXCELLENT, DRIVEN DAILY UNTIL 03/03/2020 AND ALWAYS RETURNED TO HOME GARAGE. WHEN STARTED THE MORNING OF 03/04/2020, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RACED TO 4000 RPM IN NEUTRAL. TAPPING THE BRAKE LOWERED THE IDLE TO 1200 RPM, NOT THE NORMAL 850 (APPROXIMATE). I BACKED THE OUT OF THE GARAGE UPHILL INTO THE STREET. WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE THE MOMENT OF STARTING ACCELERATION THE CAR GENTLY ACCELERATE ITSELF WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN 1/4 MILE. TAPPING THE BRAKE STOPPED THE ACCELERATION AND THE CAR THROTTLE RETURNED TO ABOUT 1200 RPM. AFTER BRAKING TO A STOP, I STARTED TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. WITH MULTIPLE BRAKES TAPS, I RETURNED THE CAR INTO THE DRIVE WAY. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE RPM AGAIN RACED TO 4000. TAPPING THE BRAKE RETURNED THE RPM TO 1200, SIMILAR TO A CRUISE CONTROL RETURN. IN ALL CASES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT TURNED ON AND CYCLING THE CRUISE BUTTON ON AND OFF HAD NO EFFECT. CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT BE INVOLVED. I DID AN ACCUTRON CODE READ AND NO CODES RETURNED. NO ATTEMPT TO TRY TO FIX OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. CAR NEEDS TO BE ANALYZED BY NHTSA, NOT JUST REPAIRED. IT IS HAZARDOUS. I USED TO TEACH PHYSICS AND HAVE PERFORMED MOST MAJOR CAR REPAIRS SINCE 1960. I WISH TO KEEP THIS CHRYSLER 200 S RETRACTABLE CONVERTIBLE. IT WILL STAY IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL ANALYZED BY NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 43 MPH, THE DRIVE SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD HOWEVER, NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND CALLED 911 WHOM ADVISED HIM TO CALL HIS AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY AND A DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED HE CALLED HIS INSURANCE COMPANY AND AN UNKNOWN KIA DEALER IN LUMBERTON, NC WHOM OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000.

ENCOUNTERED A FLAT TIRE (OBSERVED WHEN DRIVING) AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE THE WHEEL / TIRE OFF TO PUT ON THE SPARE, FOUND I COULD NOT LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS WITH A VARIETY OF LUG WRENCHES THAT WERE TRIED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS HAD TO BE HAMMERED OFF THE WHEEL AND REPLACED. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS ON THE REMAINING WHEELS / TIRES WERE IN THE SAME CONDITION. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS "NOBODY'S FAULT" THAT THIS HAPPENED TO THE LUG NUTS. I DISAGREE - AND SUBMIT THAT IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE LUG NUTS THAT WAS "AT FAULT". I READ ABOUT A SIMILAR INCIDENT INVOLVING FORD VEHICLES THAT WAS ON THE VERGE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT THEN DISMISSED. APPARENTLY THE OUTSIDE COATING (ALUMINUM?) ON THE LUG NUTS SHEARS OFF WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION FOR HAVING TO REPLACE THESE, ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE FACTORY RECALL.

THE CAR HAS A TICKING BY THE RIGHT SIDE I REPORTED THIS TO MEINKE AND THEY LET THE WARRANTY EXPIRE WITH SILVERCREST BUT ITS NOTED IN MY 30 DAY WARRANTY WITH DRIVE TIME.

MY CHRYSLER 200 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS AND STALLING. WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE PLUS ELECTRICAL POWER SHUTS DOWN WHICH LEADS TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS MAKE/MODEL HAS A 'VERY BAD' RATING ON NHTSA WEBSITE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION ON ITS OWN. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. IT WILL NOT DEFROST MY WINDOW ON THAT SIDE AND VERY UNSAFE IN THESE COLD MICHIGAN WINTERS

MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 STARTED AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ALARM WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I PULLED OVER CUT THE CAR OFF THEN ATTEMPTED TO STARTED THE CAR BACK UP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT CUT ON FOR SECONDS AND CUT OFF WITH A A RED SECURITY LIGHT COMING ON AS WELL AND ALARM STILL GOING THEN ON THE 6TH TRY THE CAR WONT START ANYMORE BUT ALARM STILL GOES OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A FEATURE, WHICH ALERTED HER THAT THE BLINKER BULB WAS OUT. THE CONTACT ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO CHECK FOR SIMILAR RECALLS WITH EARLIER MODEL VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD "ASSIGN" A RECALL TO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204, (425) 441-3522) STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT CREATE A "RECALL" FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RELAYED THIS INFORMATION TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT MAILED A LETTER TO NHTSA ON AUGUST 27, 2019, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD "ASSIGN" A RECALL TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED AUTO THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON. AFTER A NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UP OR DOWN HILL THE BRAKE FLUID WOULD BE OFF THE SENSOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. NO REPAIRS WERE DONE OR RECOMMENDED EVEN AFTER I PUSHED THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE IS WHEN DO I KNOW IT IS JUST A FLUID LEVEL PROBLEM OR SOME OTHER BRAKE PROBLEM THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE DETERIORATED SEAL CAUSING MOISTURE CONDENSATION. DEALERSHIP COSTS $615.00. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS A RESULT OF CHEAP SEALS

THE VEHICLE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION VEHICLE IS STATIONARY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND ACCELERATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT REQUIRED EXTRA EFFORT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE ALTERNATELY DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO STAR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (5101 S 1ST ST, ABILENE, TX 79605, (325) 698-2222) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST FALLS APART EXPOSING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ON 10/01/2019 DEALER STATES AIRBAG NEEDS REPLACED AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. DEALER REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER SAID THE PART ALONE WOULD BE $550 TO FIX - THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND ULTIMATELY, SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED! I'M PLANNING ON TRADING IN MY CAR IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO AVOID MORE ISSUES LIKE THIS; TERRIBLE TERRIBLE COMPANY.

I DO NOT HAVE AN TAKATA RECALL LETTER, HOWEVER MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AS I AM DRIVING. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR A SENSOR OR ANYTHING CONCERNING THE LIGHT, SO I HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.

ATC TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT IS NOT SENDING POWER AND GROUND TO THE LEFT SIDE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, SO THE HEAT AND DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN CONDITIONS WARRANT THE DEFOGGER IS NEEDED. DURING ADVERSE WEATHER ON 8/24 (UNSEASONABLY COOL AND RAINING IN CENTRAL NC), I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND AS NOTED, THE DEFOGGER ISN'T WORKING.

WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AFTER STARTING IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ALSO AT A STOP POSITION ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT USING THE GAS PEDDLE. ALSO ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC INDICATOR PERIODICALLY COME ON. THEY NEVER STAY ON BUT CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ! YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND HOPE YOU DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.. OWNERS MANUAL MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF AFTER YOU CYCLE THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVING THE CAR. WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP SOON. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS VERY SCAREY SITUATION

MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST HAD BEEN FALLING DOWN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A BOOM. I WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS PARKED. THEN I FOUND THE HEADREST HAD PUSHED OUT TOTALLY, STUCK OUT BY A PIECE OF METAL. I COULD NOT PUSH IT BACK. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST OVER $450.00 TO RESET IT OR GET A NEW ONE. I TRIED TO PULL THE WHOLE HEADREST OUT, BUT IT DOES NOT COME OUT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CARS UP TO 2013. BUT MINE IS A 2014. DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE HEADRESTS. I'VE HEARD THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE ONE MORE YEAR TO PAY FOR IT. I AM NOT TRADING IT IN. I FEEL CHRSYLER SHOULD FIX THIS. FOR FREE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP TWICE, THE SEAL BEHIND THE GAS CAP AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH, CUTTING OUT AND JERKING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

TAKATA RECALL , CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL, CAR AIRBAG DEFLATED, I CALLED MY DEALER, BUD'S CHRYSLER DODGE. I COULD GET A LOANER CAR FOR THE DAYS THEY NEEDED THIS REPAIRS BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY MY CAR THERE. I NEED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS BECAUSE I TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE AREA WITH MY JOB ALL THE TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT SOME UNWANTED FUMES AND EXHAUST EMISSIONS AT CERTAIN TIMES AS WELL.

MY CAR DOES A JERKING MOTION WHEN IT ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE GEARS, AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. IT CRANKS BACK UP AFTER THIS WHINNING FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED AN OIL CHANGE AND STATED THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I'VE NEVER HAD IN ISSUES IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN FINANCING THIS VEHICLE. I'M STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATES IT WAS THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $4800. AS AN MILITARY VETERAN I AM ON A SET INCOME AND I'M NOT ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME TO EXPLORE OPTIONS IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

THE CAR HAS HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT DOES NOT HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, THEREFORE CANNOT SEE OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACED, $1500.00 LATER. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER IS THEREFORE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE HEATER CORES.

I AM STARTING TO GET AGGRAVATED AND CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING . I AM REGRETTING THAT I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER SND DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. I USE TO THINK HIGHLY OF CHRYSLER AND THEIR PRODUCTS BUT DEALING WITH THIS AND CAUSING A MAJOR HEADACHE HAS CHANGED MIND TO NOT BUY AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED, MY MOM HAS THE SAME RECALL ON HER FORD AND FORD IS PAYING FOR HER TO HAVE A RENTAL WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR HERS TO BE FIXED. THAT TO ME TELLS HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR 2 YEARS WITH THIS RECALL JUST FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE. IF I COULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND BE ABLE TO GET ME DIFFERENT VEHICLE LIKE A FORD, CHEVY I WOULD. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A REAR PASSENGER WAS TRAPPED IN THE SEAT BELT AND HAD TO BE CUT OUT BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT WENT TO AVENTURA CHRYSLER AND JEEP IN MIAMI, FL AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONFIRMED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, BUT IT NO LONGER SHOWED UP UNDER THE VIN ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT BOTH FAILURES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I WAS WONDERING IF A SAFETY DEVICE IN A CAR HEADREST, DESIGNED TO JUMP FORWARD IN A REAR END COLLISION, IS A SAFETY DEVICE THAT FALLS UNDER WARRANTY. MY WIFE HAD ONE THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN HER 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THERE WAS NO REAR END COLLISION. SHE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION IN A MALL PARKING LOT. THE HEADREST DEPLOYED, THROWING HER FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT SINCE HER CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY PART. MODELS UP TO 2013 WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME MICROCHIP MALFUNCTION IN THE HEADRESTS, BUT 2014 WERE NOT RECALLED.

I OWN A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THEY WOULD ONLY OPERATE ON THE HIGHEST SPEED SETTING AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STOP AND GO REALLY SLOW. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORTED THAT THE CAUSE IS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF KEEP GETTING ALERT SAYING THAT KEY IS STILL IN IGNITION CAUSING MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO FAIL. IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO READJUST MIRRORS OR ANYTHING. ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ISN'T WORKING DUE TO ERROR MESSAGE SAYING KEY IS STILL IN IGNITION.

CAR WAS DROVE 46 MILES TO WORK. WHEN EXITING CAR, FOR NO REASON THE HEAD REST SPLITS INTO TWO PIECES. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED USING THE RECALLED PART (N38) OR THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, HAS NO PINGS OR SCARS. COMMUNITY CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP IN MARTINSVILLE, IN. WAS OF NO HELP, THEIR SOLUTION WAS SPEND $255 TO CHANGE FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER, ORDER A NEW HEAD REST $388 ON A THREE MONTH BACK ORDER AND ANOTHER $255 TO INSTALL ONCE ARRIVES. THERE IS INSTRUCTIONS TO RESET, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY TRIED TO RESET AND COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH. IF RESET, WOULD IT SPLIT APART AGAIN? SHOULD FAMILIES RISK LIVES BEING USED AS TEST DUMMIES FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY POSSIBLY KILLING YOUR OWN FAMILY AND OTHERS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WHILE YOUR NECK IS SNAPPED FORWARD AND DISTRACTING YOUR DRIVING?

I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN I HEARD A STARTLING BANG THAT CAME FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I SAW THAT THE HEADREST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED SEVERAL SMALL PIECES OF BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. UPON EXAMINING THE HEADREST, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE PLASTIC WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD A 2"-3" SILVER METAL RETAINING ROD HAD FAILED. THAT SILVER METAL ROD IS STILL ENGAGED IN THE ELECTRONIC LOCK/RELEASE MECHANISM ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. THE PLASTIC PIECES ON THE SEAT WERE FROM THAT ROD RETAINER. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE HEAT OF THE ARIZONA SUMMERS ARE CAUSING THE HEADREST PLASTIC COMPONENTS TO WEAKEN. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, OR THE BEGINNING OF A TREND. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF IT WAS THE DRIVERS HEADREST THAT FAILED, HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. UNEXPECTEDLY GETTING HIT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! MY CHRYSLER 200 HAD 38,110 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED; IT IS BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST IS STILL INSTALLED IN THE CAR. IT APPEARS THE CHRYSLER PART NUMBER IS 68065766AA; MANUFACTURED BY GRAMMER (IN GERNAMY) AND THEIR PART NUMBER IS 1192441. REMOVING THE HEADRESTS TURN ON THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR. AS I STATED EARLIER, I FEAR THAT THE DRIVER HEADREST MAY ALSO FAIL AT ANY TIME AND RESULTS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER REQUESTING BOTH OF THESE HEADRESTS TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE.

AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200. IT'S A $1,400 FIX. FOR A MAJOR SYSTEM TO GO IN 3 YEARS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD HELD LIABLE FOR IT.

FIRST I HAVE NOTICED MY CAR DELAYS AND JERKS WHEN PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE WINTER. MORE RECENTLY MY CAR TRIED TO ACCELERATE A COUPLE TIMES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEY STATED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR DO THE SAME THING, THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SECOND THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS WAS FIRST PUBLISHED ALMOST A YEAR AGO. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT ARE PLACED IN THAT VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR THEM AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT IS IN MY CAR IF I AM TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS FAR TOO LONG TO KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM AND NOT FIX IT. I WAS GOING TO TRADE IN MY CAR AND TRY TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. WELL NOW I CAN NOT DO THAT AS MY CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $5,000 EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I STILL OWE ABOUT $12,000. SO NOW I AM LEFT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR THAT IS KNOWN TO BE UNSAFE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

"TAKATA RECALL". I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS CAR AND AM AFRAID TO ALLOW ANY PASSENGER RIDE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I NEED TO SELL MY CAR FOR MY WORK AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IN, EVEN TO CHRYSLER WITHOUT A HUGE REDUCTION IN THE VALUE DUE TO THIS RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN OCT 2016 INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2017. WHEN I CALLED IN JUNE 2017, I WAS TOLD AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF 2017. EACH WEEK AND MONTH THAT THIS IS DELAYED, MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING AND I AM LOSING MONEY BY NOT BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR MY JOB. I CANNOT BELIEVE 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING THIS DELAY BY CHRYSLER. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRADE IT IN AT IT'S VALUE, BUT NOT FOR LESS THAN IT IS WORTH. WHAT CAN I DO?

I PURCHASED A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE IN LATE AUGUST THIS YEAR, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM IN LOW BEAM THAT THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY WITH ONLY 24K MILES. ALSO WHEN TURNING, YOU CANNOT SEE ROAD. HAVE READ ON INTERNET MANY COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS. CHRYSLER HAS NO SOLUTION. DRIVING IN LOW BEAM IS LIKE DRIVING WITH JUST PARKING LIGHTS ON. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 3 MONTHS, AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. MANY, MANY OWNERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET SITES. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR A RIGHT SIDE FRONT ALIGNMENT,, NOW I KNOW WHY, YOU CAN'T SEE THE ROAD WHEN MAKING TURNS. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THESE HEADLIGHTS. *TR

CHRYSLER 200 - LOSS OF AIRBAG AND SEATBELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY. A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. INCREASED RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 IS SUBJECT TO THE S61 RECALL BECAUSE THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR OPERATE PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. FCA SAYS IT HAS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE, BUT IS COMFORTABLE WITH PLACING MY YOUNG DAUGHTER'S LIFE AT RISK EVERY TIME SHE DRIVES. APPARENTLY IT IS CHEAPER FOR THEM TO PAY OFF IN A DEATH THAN REALLY TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLEARLY CAN DO SOMETHING SINCE THEY OFFER REIMBURSEMENT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE FIXED AND THEY NO LONGER USE THAT FAULTY DEVICE IN THEIR NEW VEHICLES. CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE TO WAIT AND SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD AND PROVIDE COMPENSATION TO OWNERS EVEN IF THAT IS A DEAL TO TRADE AT THE CUSTOMER'S BENEFIT FOR AN EQUIVALENT CAR WITHOUT THIS ISSUE.

ON MY WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING IN A VERY HILLY LOCATION, WHILE ON A HILL MY CAR STAYED HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING, A LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT FLASHED ON AND THAN IT LEVELED OUT, KEPT HAPPENING ON AND OFF TILL I SRIPPED AT A GAS STATION. I WENT TO LEAVE AND PUT THE CASE IN REVERSE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS ON CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS OTHER WISE I WOULD HAVE RAMMER INTO THE GAS PUMP. SO I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND LOOKED UP WHAT THAT LIGHT WAS. IT SAID (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) I READ IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE SONCE I HAD MY 2 LITTLE ONES IN THE CAR WITH ME. IT SAID NOT TO, SO WE HAD TO GET A HOTEL BECAUSE IT WAS 11PM. AND HAD TO WAIT TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP ON THE MORNING. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP, IT STARTED PUTTERING SO BAD, DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THERE. AND AT ONE POINT AFTER THE PUTTERING IT HAD LEVELED OUT AND THAN IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTEY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY $800 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE MALFUNCTIONING AFTER ONLY OWNING IT FOR A YEAR! PUTTING ME, MY CHILDREN, AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS LIVES ON DANGER! RECALL THIS PART!

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER WAS CAUSING A LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE FOR 2-5 MONTHS. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I OWN AND I HAVE A CHILD RIDING WITH ME. I DRIVE AT LEAST 50 MILES PER DAY AND I FELT UNSAFE DRIVING KNOWING THIS ABOUT MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH I FEEL AS IF THEY NEED TO OFFER A OPTION FOR THE VEHICLE OWNERS WHO USE THIS VEHICLE AS THEIR DAILY DRIVER. I FEEL AS IF THEY ARE NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND I IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON, CAR IS AT 40K MILES, DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. THE AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED. IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE YOU WILL THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT HERE.

AROUND 40K MILES I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG DEPLOYED INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP RANDOMLY AT FIRST BUT EVENTUALLY AND NOW AT 53K MILES IS ALWAYS ON AS IF MY AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR THAT EVENTUALLY WENT AWAY. I DONT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FINANCIALLY FOR THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS ISSUE HAS ME WORRIED IF THE AIR BAGS EVEN WORK AT ALL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

2014 CHRY 200 LX: AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING CAR AT 58,000 MILES AND STAYS ON! DEALERSHIP IN COSTA MESA CA WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT PAYING $$$$. I REALLY THINK 2014 200 LX HAVE FAULTY AIR BAGS. PLEASE RECALL.

WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND I LET GO OF THE BRAKE, IT STALLS A BIT (SHAKES), IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. IT ALSO STALLS WHEN I TAKE OFF.

MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO SINCE THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER YEAR, MAKE, AND MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 TOURING. "TAKATA RECALL" MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING HAS MALFUNCTIONED BUT REFUSED TO FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE MY CAR HAS REACHED 30,000 MILES. NOT ONLY THAT PROBLEM BUT MY ALTERNATOR HAS RECENTLY GONE OUT AT 50,000 MILES. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO NO ONE.

MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON WITH 50,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON THE BAGS WILL NEVER DEPLOY I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THE SAID THAT'S TOO BAD BUT WE CAN NOT HELP YOU, SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE SAFTY IS NOT ONE OF CHRYSLERS HIGH PRIORITY, NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE ENGINE IS MIS-FIRING ON CYL. 5 MORE OF CHRYSLER'S BAD DESIGN ANTOTHER REASON THEY CAN NOT SELL A CHYRSLER 200 SO THE STOP BUILDING THEM. THE CEO IS TRYING TO GET ANOTHER CAR COMPANY TO MERGE WITH CHRYSLER BUT WHO WHATS TO PAY YOUR BILLS MR. CEO

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT WITH A 7 YEAR 100,000 MILE CERTIFIED WARRANTY,WITH 29,000 MILES. AT ABOUT 31,000 MILES WHILE CITY STREET DRIVING THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING AND SQUEAKING WHEN COMING TO A STOP, TOOK TO DEALER, THEY SAID EVERY THING WAS FINE. ANOTHER 200 MILES SAME PROBLEM, RETURNED TO DEALER THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS. 200-300 MORE MILES RETURNED TO DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY CHANGED THE ROTORS. DRIVING ONE DAY APPLIED BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND THE BRAKES DID A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AND NOT HIT ANYONE, ONCE AGAIN THEY CHECKED THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKES, SAID OK. MY FRONT RIMS ARE BLACK FROM BRAKE DUST. AT NIGHT WHEN I TURN THE HEATING SYSTEM ON I CAN SEE A SPARK BEHIND THE NOB. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?. I CAN'T PUT A SPECIFIC DATE ON THE EVENTS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN EVER I DRIVE. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVING, AND SOUNDS LIKE THE BOTTOM IS FALLING OUT WHEN DRIVING CITY STREETS

"TAKATA RECALL" THE BRAKE DOESN'T WORK WELL. SOMETIMES ITS ACCELERATE BY ITS SELF. THE SPEED WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY GOES UP AND GOES DOWN BY IT SELF. YOU FEEL LIKE THERE SOMETHING SHIFTING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WHEN YOU STOP. I EVEN CRASH ONE TIME WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE STREETS BECAUSE IT ACCELERATED WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. IT WONT STOP AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REMAIN IN POSITION AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE EXCESSIVELY TO KEEP IT IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HIP AND FOOT INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES, A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL SUDDENLY FORMED UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AS THE ENGINE OIL COOLER/HOUSING MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT. THE EXACT SOURCE OF THE LEAK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, BUT REPLACING THE UNIT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES OTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR PENTASTAR ENGINES (CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE VEHICLES). A VIDEO DESCRIBING THE UNIT AND ITS POSSIBLE FAILURE MECHANISMS CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JJGNEI1HMNY THE DEALER ASKED IF AN INCORRECT FILTER HAD BEEN INSERTED INTO THE UNIT. HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD DONE ALL BUT ONE FILTER REPLACEMENT, AND THE ONE FILTER THAT WAS NOT REPLACED BY THEM WAS INDEED THE CORRECT FILTER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE DEALER DID THE REPLACEMENT. THE UNIT REPLACEMENT COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $340, BUT LOCATION OF THE REPAIR MEANS THAT IT TAKES AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC ABOUT 3 HOURS TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT CONCERNS ME THAT SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT WOULD BREAK AFTER ONLY 18K MILES AND REQUIRES SUCH AN EXTENSIVE REPAIR EFFORT.

THE TIRE SENSOR (TPMS LIGHT) FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR TIRE ALWAYS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AS WELL. IT WILL SAY THE TIRE IS LOW, AND IT'S ALWAYS ONLY THIS TIRE. I CHECK THE PRESSURE WITH A HAND GAUGE AND ALL IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MULITIPULE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IN THE 19 MONTHS I HAVE HAD IT!

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS REAR ENDED,SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH HE DID NOT EVEN TRY TO STOP.HEAD RESTRAINTS DEPLOYED AND HIT ME CAUSING INJURY AS WELL AS ANXIETY.

WHEN WE WERE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT, WE WERE GOING INTERSTATE SPEED IN NEBRASKA AT 80 MPH, WE HIT A LARGE ROAD SIGN THAT TOTALED OUR VEHICLE. OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS. ALSO MY CAR IS AT PERFORMANCE AUTO BODY SHOP IN LINCOLN NEBRASKA AND THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT DEPLOYED WHEN THE AUTO BODY SHOP RECEIVED THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN A SHORT TIME LATER MY ABS LIGHT COME ONE. MY CAR LOST POWER AND EVEN THOUGH YOU PRESS GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE DECELERATES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO SUPER LOW GEAR BUT NOT SENDING ANY POWER TO TRANSMISSION WHICH ACTS LIKE IT IS TOTALLY SLIPPING (IT IS ELECTRONIC TOO)! I ALMOST GOT HIT 4 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. I SHUT IT DOWN. IT THEN RE-STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES AND RAN FINE FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CYCLE AGAIN BUT LUCKILY I WAS ON THE BACK STREETS AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE CONSTANT SQUEALING OF THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNING ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BRAKES ARE SO LOUD AND NOISY THAT PEOPLE CAN HEAR MY CAR COMING FROM FAR OFF, THEY SOUND LIKE I OWN AN OLD BEAT-UP VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND SHOULD NOT BE SO EMBARRASSINGLY LOUD EACH TIME I HIT THE BRAKES WHETHER IT'S AT A SLOW CREEP OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING. AT FIRST THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD COME ON AT THE TOP OF ANY HILL OR INCLINE, LIKE AT THE TOP OF A RAMP TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. NOW, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WILL TRY TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE ITSELF, OR THAT MY CAR WILL LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING FAST DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN ENGAGED MANUALLY BY ME EXCEPT WHEN I PARK AT LOCATIONS WHERE I USE THE E-BRAKE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY IF I HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, I BEG TO DIFFER. THE TIRE SENSOR FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR TIRE ALWAYS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AS WELL. IT WILL SAY THE TIRE IS LOW ABOUT ONCE A MONTH, AND IT'S ALWAYS ONLY THIS TIRE. I CHECK THE PRESSURE WITH A HAND GAUGE AND ALL IS FINE. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE JUST HORRID!! I WOULD LOVE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY WITH IT BEING SO NEW I AM FAR FROM BEING ABLE TO DO SO. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT CHRYSLER!!

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH 2014 WITH ONLY A FEW MILES ON IT. I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MANY TIMES AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY GAS CAP. WELL AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF THIS I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND ALTHOUGH I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR CONTINUED TO DECLINE IN SPEED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL LAST A FEW MIN TO A FEW DAYS. I WAS TOLD WELL THAT?S ODD YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS OR ANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR CAR. I EVEN ASKED THEM ABOUT A REPLACEMENT PART THAT I CAME ACROSS THAT WAS DONE TO MY ARE RIGHT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NO RECORD. SURE IS FUNNY THEY DID THE REPLACEMENT ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE HAD MY CAR OVER YEAR AND I CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS ON THIS ISSUE. IT?S SUPER DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING OVER 50 MPG. .....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

THE BRAKES MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AS IF THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR BUT THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ALL OF CHRYSLER'S 200 HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ...UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE HOOD SUDDENLY RELEASED WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS THE HOOD. CAR WAS RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE.

THE BRAKES MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AS IF THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR BUT THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THE SAME THING: ALL OF CHRYSLER'S 200 HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THIS IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW I'M COMING JUST BY THE NOISE.

AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SEVERELY DAMAGED MY VEHICLE. THE FIRE STARTED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE NO ACCESSORIES WERE PLUGGED IN TO THE 12V POWER PORT. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT WERE BEING USED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WERE THE A/C AND THE RADIO. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A HOMEOWNER, BUT THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. THE CAR IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FULL MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, BUT AT THIS POINT I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT PROVE THAT THE FIRE WASN'T STARTED BY A DEVICE PLUGGED INTO THE 12V POWER PORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,900.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED THE HOOD PARTIALLY UP AFTER PARKING THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND I HAVE NOT LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD DURING THAT TIME. I SUSPECT THAT THE HOOD LATCH MAY BE FAULTY.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN AT STOP LIGHT . PROBLEM WAS HEAT SENSOR. TRANSMISSION WENT TWICE ON 3/10/2015 AND 3/19/2014 BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND DUE TO THE DECELERATION CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY TRUCK BEHIND ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED TO 100 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,783.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 TO DROP MY FATHER BACK HOME. MY MOTHER AND SISTER WERE ALSO PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE.THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 10/29/2014 AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 5846 MILES & PASSED INSPECTION ON 10/30/2014. I ASSUMED POSSESSION OF THE CAR ON 10/30/2014 AFTER IT PASSED INSPECTION. THE CAR HAD 8059 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE MY PURCHASE. I WAS QUITE STARTLED WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY & STARTED TO DECELERATE IN SPEED. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAY WAS 70 MPH. ALTHOUGH I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DECREASE RAPIDLY. I REMEMBERED SEEING MY SPEED DROP AS LOW AS 19 MPH ON THE FREEWAY; A VERY SCARY THING. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKED UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BATTERY LIGHTS INDICATING ANYTHING WAS WRONG. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT & THERE WAS A REST STOP NEARBY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO AND INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY POWERED OFF AS THE CAR MADE IT TO THE PARKING SPOT & WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AFTER THAT. THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED, BUT NOTHING WAS VISIBLY WRONG WITH THE CAR TO CAUSE THE CAR TO MALFUNCTION THE WAY IT DID. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, MAYBE 45 MINUTES LATER FROM THE APPROXIMATE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED, MY DAD MENTIONED THAT HE WAS COLD, SO I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO TURN THE HEATER ON. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. MY SISTER AND I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE REST STOP PARKING LOT, AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESTART. IT RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. EVEN AFTER THE CAR RESTARTED, THERE WERE NOT ANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING ON A WELL CLEARED INTERSTATE IN LIGHT SNOW CONDITIONS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYS BACK AND FORTH LIKE THERE IS NO TRACTION WHILE THE FRONT END HAS TRACTION AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN TRACTION. ONCE STABILIZED AND ONLY DRIVING 20-25MPH WHEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE OR UNDER AND OVERPASS, THE LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE IN THOSE AREAS MAKES THE REAR OF THE CAR SLIDE SIDE TO SIDE. DRIVING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE HIGHWAY MAKES THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE JUMP TO THE RIGHT. DRIVING IS STABILIZED ON COMPLETELY DRY ROADS OR IN TOWN SNOWPACKED BUT TREATED ROADS. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATES IN EVEN THE MILDEST OF ANY TYPE OF ADVERSE WEATHER. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN OVER 25 MPH WITHOUT OUT THE REAR END SWAYING BACK AND FORTH. DURING THIS SITUATION ALL OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING AT OR NEAR POSTED HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT PROBLEM. *TR

I DROVE AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, CHRYSLER 200 SEDAN. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 2-4 HOURS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, GOOD ROAD. WHEN I GOT OUT I HAD A SHOOTING PAIN FROM THE MIDDLE OF MY LEFT BUTTOCKS DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF MY LEFT LEG. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS SORT OF THING HAPPEN BEFORE. I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THE ONLY VARIABLE WAS SITTING IN THAT CAR SEAT. I AM A MID-FIFTIES WOMAN IN GOOD CONDITION. 5'7" TALL, 150 POUNDS. PRETTY AVERAGE. A CAR SEAT SHOULDN'T DO THIS TO A PERSON. THE CAR WAS AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, BUT I RENTED THE CAR FROM ALAMO RENTAL IN THE QUAD CITIES ILLINOIS AIRPORT. THEY HAD TO BORROW A SEDAN FROM ENTERPRISE. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON MY CONTRACT IS [XXX]. THE RENTAL RAN FROM OCT. 11-OCT. 13. THE CONTRACT SAYS THE VEHICLE HAD 1325 MILES ON IT WHEN I RENTED IT, AND 1864 WHEN I RETURNED IT. I DROVE IT ABOUT 4 HOURS EACH DAY OF THE RENTAL. IT WAS VERY PAINFUL AND STILL IS A DAY LATER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

APPROACHING A TURNPIKE EXIT, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. YESTERDAY WHILE PARKED AND SUPPOSEDLY ENGINE TURNED OFF, WHEN I RETURNED I NOTED THE ENGINE STILL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING EVEN THOUGH I TURNED IT OFF. I NOTED WHEN READING ABOUT THE NEW GENERAL MOTORS RECALLS, I.E. CHEVROLET, IF THIS HAPPENS TURN THE ENGINE ON AND THEN OFF. THIS DID WORK AND THE ENGINE DEFINITELY TURNED OFF. *TR

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

CONDENSATION APPEARS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS TO CONTROL IT USING THE DEFROST. NOTHING WORKS. WHEN I USE THE WIPERS IT JUST SMEARS THE "FOG" ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ONE EXAMPLE IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT AFTER MY SON'S SOCCER PRACTICE WHERE I COULD HARDLY SEE OUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS 85 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I HAD DEFROST ON AND NOTHING WAS WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE, THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WILL KEEP A RECORD AND PICTURES OF WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT HAS SOME ISSUES WITH BUCKLING. ULTIMATELY, IT DOES BUCKLE BUT IT IS NOT SECURE. THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE IT UNBUCKLED BECAUSE OF A BODY MOVEMENT. IN ORDER TO BUCKLE IT I HAVE TO INSERT THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES, AND EVEN THEN I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS ENTIRELY SECURE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 3.6 THIS YEAR I NOTICED PROBLEMS. WHEN DRIVING IN SPEEDS OF 10-35MPH IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY JERK/LUNGE WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN OR ALL THE TIME. THEN THIS WEEK BEFORE WE LEFT FOR VACATION WE HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHANGE THE OIL AND CHECK ALL THE FLUID LEVELS. I HAVE 8400 MILES ON MY CAR. WHILE ON VACATION WE WERE DOING A LOT MORE STOP AND GO DRIVING. THE JERKING AND LUNGING WAS HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THEN OUR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE ARE OUT OF STATE AND NOW HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS. THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE OTHERWISE, THE OIL LEVEL IS GOOD AND THE GAS CAP IS ON. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER, SOUNDS LIKE THIS JERKING/ LUNGE ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX YET! GREAT! *TR

VEHICLE: 2014 CHRYSLER 200. SCENE: HUNTINGTON AVE. BOSTON, MA, IN SLOW MID-DAY TRAFFIC (12:30 PM). THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. STEERING AND BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE. I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT THE ENGINE HAD STOPPED RUNNING UNTIL AFTER I TRIED TO USE THE STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. PASSERSBY HELPED PUSH IT TO THE CURB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 12/27/13. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE DRIVER PUSHED THE GAS. AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR REPEATEDLY, THE CAR MOVED. THE DEALER SAID THE CAR WAS 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TO LET ONCOMING TRAFFIC PASS, THE CAR HAS STALLED AS THE DRIVER PUSHED THE GAS THEN IT JUMPED INTO GEAR. ANOTHER TIME, THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AS THE DRIVER SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FILTERED WAS CRACKED AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUE. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR TEST DRIVING, WE INTEND TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TEST DRIVEN OVER TIME. THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT EVIDENT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. ADDITIONALLY, TODAY SOME KNOCKING OCCURRED UNDER THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SO IT COULD BE USED FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL, BUT I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IF IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR COULD BE REAR-ENDED. *TR
