NHTSA Complaint #10693179 — 2013 CHRYSLER 200

CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FINE WHEN PURCHASED NEW 18MONTHS.AGO. BUT AFTER HAVING IT FOR 3MONTHS. THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG. FIRST INCIDENT WAS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL IT HAS FAILED TO SHUT OFF FOR ME 3X. APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES OF PRESSING THE OFF BUTTON IT SHUT OFF AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER SHIP & THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED BUT NO ISSUES FOUND. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP & NO ISSUES FOUND THE MECHANIC SAID CAR SEEMED FINE BUT TO RETURN IF PROBLEM RETURNED. THE PROBLEM STILL COMES AND GOES BUT I TRY TO IGNORE IT BECAUSE THE SHIFTING ISSUE DIDN'T SEEM ANY WORSE. BUT NOW RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS ANOTHER PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MY TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS OFF CHECKING IT ALMOST DAILY. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL EXISTS ALONG WITH IT PULLING BAD TO THE RIGHT, & I'M ABLE TO FEEL SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AS LOW AS 25MPH, REACHING SPEEDS 50+ THE SHAKING IS ONLY FELT AT TIMES, CONTINUES TO PULL & FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN A WEEK AGO TO THE TIRE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FEEL WHAT I WAS FEELING BUT COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I REQUESTED A ALIGNMENT BUT THEY ALSO SAID THAT WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. THE SHAKING AND PULLING IS NOW GETTING MUCH WORSE AND TODAY WE PICKED UP YET ANOTHER PROBLEM. WELL STOPPED/PARKED CAR IDLES HARD & FEELS AS IF ITS GONNA STALL OUT. A FRIEND OVERLOOKED MY CAR. HE CLIMBED UNDERNEATH AND HAD ME APPLY A SMALL ABOUT OF PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. SAID HE A WHISTLING/SPUTTER SOUND LIKE ITS HESITATING. HE FELT THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE RPMS WHERE AT 1 & PARKED. ONLY APPROX. 32,000MILES. *TR
