NHTSA Complaint #11140186 — 2016 CHRYSLER 200

ON 10/12/18 WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY JUST STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND MY GEAR SHIFTER STARTING BLINKING IN NEUTRAL, BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND PUSH TO START WOULD NOT WORK FOR ME TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER A FEW TRIES I WAS ABLE TO GET TO TURN OFF AND TOOK A COUPLE TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN BACK ON. I WAS STALLED AND HAD CARS DODGING ME AND SWERVING IN OTHER LANES WHEN THEY WERE TOPPING THE HILL. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WASN'T ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT DAY AND TOLD ME THEY COULD PROBABLY GET TO IT THE NEXT FOLLOWING WEEK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP IT OFF WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT DECIDES TO TAKE OFF ON IT'S ON AND I HAD TO SMASH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE IT STOP IN ORDER TO NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A PRETTY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE FOR ME AS I HAVE ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF THAT CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I NEVER HAD A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE EITHER. MY ENGINE WOULD ALSO SKIP A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO MY DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HAD ANY WORK DONE TO MY VEHICLE MECHANICALLY BESIDE OIL CHANGES ON A REGULAR BASIS.
