NHTSA Complaint #10549238 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

WHEN BACKING UP FROM A PARKING PLACE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE LATTER PART OF APRIL 2013, WE HEARD THIS LOUD SCREECHING NOISE COMING FROM WHAT WE THOUGHT TO BE THE FRONT WHEELS . I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE SERVICE PERSON ABOUT IT, HE THEN SAID ALL CARS HAVE BEEN DOING IT BECAUSE OF THE DUST STORMS IN THE AREA . THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER IT'S EMBARRASSING ANY MORE TO BACK UP ! WHO WOULD THINK SUCH A NICE AND BEAUTIFUL CAR WOULD BE EMITTING SUCH A TERRIBLE NOISE. EVEN MY ELDERLY DAD HAS NOTICED IT EVERY TIME I PICK HIM UP AND HE SAID WHAT A SHAME IT IS THAT THIS CAR MAKES THAT HORRIFIC SOUND . ON 10-22-13 I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AGAIN OUR CAR DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO START A CASE ABOUT IT AND I'D REPORT IT TO NHTSA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREES WITH ME AND STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 CARS AND THAT CHRYSLER CORP, REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS! DON"T BUY THIS CAR! *TR
