NHTSA Complaint #10789600 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

CAR DIES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DURING ANY TYPE DRIVING. OF COURSE, WHEN MOTOR DIES POWER STEERING IS LOST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE HEAVY AUSTIN TRAFFIC THAT I DRIVE IN. MAY JUST SHUT DOWN ON A MAJOR OVERPASS WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THIS VEHICLE PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THIS SHUT DOWN CAN HAPPEN AT 10 MPH OR AT 60 MPH OR ABOVE. I TRY TO BYPASS MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AUSTIN EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE SEVERAL MILES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO TRAVEL LIKE THIS. MY CAR ENGINE IS A 2.4L AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER'S 3.6 L ENGINE IN THE 200, BUT I BELIEVE THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO ALSO BE RECALLED
