NHTSA Complaint #10809558 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER CROSSING A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. ( PRIOR TO THIS I WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN AND I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. ) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I DID NOT INITIALLY TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE I RETURNED TO IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80.000 MILES.
