NHTSA Complaint #10507463 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

2.4 LITER 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN SLOWING THEN ACCELERATING IN LEFT TURN LANES AND TURN ABOUTS, THE 200 WILL OFTEN STALL FOR A SECOND OR TWO, THEN PROCEED. SEEMS TO ESPECIALLY HAPPEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SPEED QUICKLY TO ENTER TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND BECOME UNRESPONSIVE FOR A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE RESPONDING AGAIN. THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS THAT I BRAKE AND SLOW FOR THE TURN OR TO ENTER A ROUND ABOUT, WHEN THERE IS AN OPENING, I ACCELERATE, THE 200 WILL SPEED UP AS EXPECTED, THEN THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL AND BECOME UNRESPONSIVE FOR 1-2 SECONDS, THEN RESUME AS NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN UNSETTLING A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN TURNING AND ACCELERATING. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WHEN ACCELERATING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE SECOND SPEED ISSUE IS THAT THE 200 IS SLOW TO STOP REVVING WHEN ACCELERATING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UPON ACCELERATION, WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THE CAR KEPT SPEEDING UP. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY SAFETY ISSUES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I ACCELERATE QUICKLY. WHEN DRIVING NORMAL, THIS ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR. *TR
