Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 IN 2013. I 'VE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING HOT BECAUSE SOME MALFUNCTION PREVENTS THE COOLANT FROM CIRCULATING THROUGH THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD AND I'LL NEED A NEW ONE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD RUN HOT, I'D TOW IT IN AND MY MECHANIC WOULD FIX IT. AND WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO, THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. MY MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTICS, HE REBOOTED THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND HE GETS THE COOLANT FLOWING AGAIN BUT WITHIN WEEKS OR A MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS. I DON'T DRIVE FAR TO WORK APPROX. 10 MILES DAILY COMMUTE. I MAY TAKE A ROAD TRIP ON OCCASION BUT THERE IS NO UNUSUAL WEAR OR TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. IM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM AUG 2016 BUT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE OVER THE YEARS AND THE CAR IS JUST FOR YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2013. I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY FIXING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE CAR'S PROBLEM ALWAYS SEEMS RESOLVED UNTIL A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD I HAVE TO FIX IT AGAIN. I HAVEN'T EVEN PAID THE CAR OFF AND ITS KAPUT AND READY FOR THE GRAVEYARD? THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX. I NEED A NEW ENGINE NOW AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER $2000.00 TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
