NHTSA Complaint #11193477 — 2012 CHRYSLER 200

2 COMPLAINTS/CONCERNS: 1) THIS AFFECTS THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 I PURCHASED USED WITH 62,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HOW THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PART OF A GROUP OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FACTORY. THIS ANTIFREEZE BREAKS DOWN AND WILL CLOG THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR, FROM CHRYSLER, IS TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LISTED PARTS AT A COST OF ABOUT $2500.00. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS WE SPEAK HAVING THESE REPAIRS MADE. 2) THIS ONE I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED, BUT I ALSO SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS WHERE THE PENTASTAR V6 EQUIPPED IN A NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MANY OF THESE CASES ARE WHEN THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE CENTERED AROUND A PCM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OF ANY KIND ON THIS.
