NHTSA Complaint #10525017 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

4 CYLINDER 2.7L ENGINE CITY GAS MILEAGE IS ONLY 13.5 MPG. MY 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH A 3.6L V-6 GETS 15 MPG. THE 200 SHOULD BE GETTING AT LEAST 18-20 MPG. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA GETS 23 MPG WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CITY DRIVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND DO A RECALL. MINIMUM THEY SHOULD INSTALL AN ECO MODE BUTTON TO BRING THE MPG UP TO THE ADVERTISED MPG. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS SHOULD BE LOWERED SO THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV TO 3000 RPMS ON EVERY SHIFT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE V6 VERSION GETS BETTER MPG. IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CHOSE TO GO WITH THE 4 CYLINDER TO SAVE ON GAS. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE ELIMINATED THE 4 CYLINDER OPTION ALTOGETHER BUT CHOSE TO OFFER IT SO SALES WOULD NOT GO DOWN FOR NOT OFFERING A 4 CYLINDER OPTION. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE PENALIZED FOR THIS, NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR
