NHTSA Complaint #10477477 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FOR ADVERTISED MILES PER GALLON (MPG) WAS 31MPG, BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS ONLY GETTING ABOUT 15MPG. THIS CAR IS EITHER DEFECTIVE OR CHRYSLER HAS EMBARKED ON MAJOR FALSE ADVERTISING OR FRAUD CAMPAIGN IN WHICH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING THEY WOULD GET 31MPG, BUT ARE PAYING TWICE AS MUCH IN GAS INSTEAD OF SAVING MONEY. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING 31MPG ON HIGHWAY, BUT ONLY GET 15MPG, THAT MEANS YOU RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR EITHER WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN IN THE LANE, OR AFTER IT IS PUSHED INTO SHOULDER, WHICH IS STILL DANGEROUS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM - NOT GETTING GAS MILEAGE. PLEASE FORCE CHRYSLER TO TAKE BACK THESE CARS BECAUSE IT IS EITHER FALSE ADVERTISING AND CONSUMER FRAUD FOR ADVERTISING 31MPG, OR DEFECTIVE FOR FAILING TO BE EFFICIENT WITH GAS MILEAGE SINCE THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE PERFORMANCE THESE CARS WERE SUPPOSEDLY MANUFACTURED & DESIGNED FOR. THERE ARE ALSO UNKNOWN PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. I'M TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TODAY TO INVESTIGATE/SERVICE, BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES MANAGER, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE ME A NEW CAR. IT HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS, COSTING ME MONEY AND POSSIBLE INJURY DUE TO THE PROSPECT OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS SO FREQUENTLY! THE GAS TANK SIZE IS 16.9 GALLONS, SO AT 31MPG, I SHOULD GET CLOSE TO 523 MILES, BUT WE ONLY GET ABOUT 250! WE FILL UP GAS TANK EVERY WEEK, AFTER ONLY DRIVING 36 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO/FROM WORK, MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE WE ARE BEING DEFRAUDED BY BEING SOLD DEFECTIVE CARS THAT DO NOT PERFORM AS ADVERTISED, AND WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY AS A RESULT. I SHOULDNT BE STUCK WITH THIS CAR, PAYING EXCESSIVE GAS PRICES DUE TO CONSTANTLY REFILLING A GAS TANK, BECAUSE THIS CAR BURNS UP ALL THE GAS SO FAST! IS IT A DEFECT OR CONSUMER FRAUD? I WANT THIS CAR RECALLED, AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK! *TR
