NHTSA Complaint #10892382 — 2011 CHRYSLER 200

MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 V6 HAS NOW STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS GOING OVER 40 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY, BUT AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO THE CAR WILL START NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY REV UP AND LURCH WHILE STOOPED AT RED LIGHTS, AND WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL BUT DOESN'T DIE TOTALLY, BUT WILL DRIVE FINE ONCE I GET MOVING AGAIN. ONLY BY PURE LUCK HAVE I NOT BEEN SLAMMED INTO BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN I'VE STALLED. MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE CHAPMAN DEALERSHIP IN HORSHAM, PA. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I GAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. BASICALLY THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S MY TOUGH LUCK, AND HOPEFULLY OUR FAULTY CAR THAT YOU HAVE A WARRANTY ON DOESN'T GET YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED. I RECENTLY HAD A DATA RECORDER INSTALLED FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO STALLING OCCURED, SO NOW CHRYSLER IS TELLING ME THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND, BUT THEY'ER BASICALLY TELLING ME TO TAKE MY LIFE IN MY HANDS WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I SPENT CLOSE TO $30,000 FOR BETWEEN CAR AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SAID TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN...WELL, WHAT IF I CAN'T CALL THEM BECAUSE I'M DEAD OR PARALYZED. WHAT IF I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR OR MINIVAN FULL OF KIDS RAMS INTO ME OR SWERVES TO AVOID ME. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM WITH 2011 CHRYSLER 200'S AND KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, SO I THINK THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP SOLUTION ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE COST OF A RECALL.
