NHTSA Complaint #10479744 — 2011 CHRYSLER 200

THE CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED. THE ENGINE FADES SLOWLY AWAY AND THEN COMPLETELY TURNS ITSELF OFF. THIS ENTIRE ENGINE FAILING PROCESS LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 SECONDS. THIS ENGINE FAILURE POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR A RESOLUTION OF IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT MUCH CLOSER AND IN-DEPTH, SINCE FURTHER DELAYS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. I PLEAD THAT CHRYSLER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COMMENCE A RECALL PROGRAM OF THE CHRYSLER 200 MODEL. I'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE FAILING 4 TIMES ALREADY. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT AT THEIR SHOP FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY DID NOT OFFER/GIVE A FREE RENTAL CAR FOR ME. THIS CAR IS UNDER 1 YEAR OLD. PRIOR TO CHRYSLER I ONLY OWNED FOREIGN CARS BECAUSE OF THE PERCEIVED NOTION THAT AMERICAN MADE CARS ARE NOT RELIABLE. I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A CHANCE AND WANTED TO BUY AMERICAN, SO I GOT THE CHRYSLER 200. SO FAR THAT DECISION HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG MISTAKE (UNLESS CHRYSLER OFFERS A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM). I DON'T WANT TO LOSE FAITH IN THE AMERICAN CAR COMPANY AND HOPE THAT THEY DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR
