NHTSA Complaint #10454014 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH MY BRAND NEW 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS FAILURE TO START. I WENT TO START MY CAR AND TURNED THE KEY BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE STALLED. I STARTED TO TURN THE KEY AGAIN , AGAIN DID NOT TURN ON. AFTER THE THIRD TIME IT BEGAN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM, CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY REPORT OF THIS BUT THEY HADN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. THE DEALER THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON APRIL 1ST I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200,658 MILES,WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT OFF OF A MAIN STREET INTO A THE PARKING LOT THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR MOVING SO AT THE ENTRANCE, I PRESSED MY BRAKES SHORTLY AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I WAS NOT IN THE OTHER VEHICLES WAY SO I THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND IN THE FAST MOVING TRAFFIC WITH MY DAUGHTERS END OUT IN THE MAIN STREET. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHICH THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND ASKED FOR REPORTS BUT CHRYSLER SAID NO PROBLEMS SUCH AS MINE HAS BEEN REPORTED. THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER IS HELPING ME IN THIS MATTER I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND I HAVE EXPRESSED THIS TO THEM. I AND MY DAUGHTER ARE AT RISK WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG AND SINCE THE CAR IS NOT LEAVING AND SENSORS ON AFTER EITHER INCIDENT I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IF THE CAR STOPS ON THE INTERSTATE AND STALLS OR FAILS TO DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AND OR I CAN BE KILLED. *TR
