2011 CHRYSLER 200 Engine Problems

THE ENGINE DIED WHEN IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN FRONT OF A RAILROAD TRACK. I WAS VERY AFRAID THAT THAT CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAD CALMED MYSELF. THIS IS IS VERY DANGEROUS SO I TOOK IT TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED AT DEALER. THE VEHICLE REPORT SHOWED NO COMPUTER CODES INDICATING FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HIMSELF. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

ENGINE HAS STALLED WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. THEY CHECKED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE THERMOSTAT INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND "THERMOSTAT ERROR" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE COOLANT RAN NON-STOP INTO THE ENGINE; THEREFORE, THE ENGINE COULD NOT WARM UP THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

AFTER 5 YEARS, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A STAR ISSUE ON THIS CAR WITH CASTING SAND CONTAMINATING THE RADIATOR, COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEMS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2200 TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY 2011. STAR ISSUE S1109000002. FIRST MY AC DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER REPLACED. THEN MY HEAT DID NOT WORK BUT DEALER SAID IT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH CASTING SAND AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT IS NOT FAIR THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT REPAIR IF CONTAMINATED. THIS IS A KNOWN CHRYSLER PROBLEM FROM THE GET GO BUT NOT QUITE A RECALL. NOW PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SELL 5 YEAR OLD CARS FOR PARTS ONLY. THERE WILL BE CERTAIN DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE WHEN THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY SEIZES UP FROM ALL THIS CONTAMINATION...

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT WILL JUST DIES SOMETIMES AT 50 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 75 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 5 MILES AN HOUR JUST LEAVING A STOP SIGN NO FAIL CODES WHATSOEVER. AFTER ABOUT ONE OR TWO HOURS OF SITTING THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES GOOD UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DOES IT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE UNSAFE P.O.S.!

PULLING ONTO A MAJOR BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER SPENDING $533 DOLLARS IN JUNE FOR A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR, I'M NOW BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY $1300 TO HAVE THE TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED WHICH AFTERWARDS I MAY HAVE TO REPLACE A POWER SENSOR. OF COURSE, THEY WON'T KNOW IF THE 3RD PART IS NEED UNTIL THEY REPLACE THE 2ND.

DRIVING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. SLOWED TO 45-50MPH FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION. TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN BUT GAS PEDAL DIDN'T RESPOND. DIDN'T REALIZE ENGINE HAD STALLED. DRIFTED OVER TO SLOW LANE TO TRY TO STOP. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT. PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT; THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN PARK; YESTERDAY THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE, ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD; AFTER TURNING OFF FOR A MINUTE; IT RESTARTED; BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON INDICATING A PROBLEM; THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT; I HAVE READ OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED; WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE?

MY 2011 200 GAVE NO SIGNS OF HAVING ANY PROBLEMS, STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST KEY TURN, I WENT TO GO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF WHERE I WAS BUT AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE BUSY ROAD AND STARTED ACCELERATING, THE CAR STOPPED GOING FASTER AND INSTEAD STARTED TO ONLY REV AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. CARS WERE APPROACHING BEHIND ME SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST IN TIME FOR MY CAR TO INDICATE IT SWITCHED ITSELF INTO REVERSE. AT THIS POINT I START PANICKING UNSURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. MY CAR WAS AT ABOUT 5 MPH AT THIS POINT WHEN THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THE ELECTRONICS WORKED FOR A WHILE, UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED, BUT THE ENGINE HAD NO HOPE IN BEING STARTED, EVEN WITH A JUMP. AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR...

ENGINE STALLS WHILE STOPPED OR AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING SUCH AS WHEN APPROACHING OR IN AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR LIGHT TO CHANGE OR TRAFFIC TO MOVE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED WHILE STILL MOVING AND WHEN STOPPED ON CITY STREETS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2011. REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN NOTHING BEING DONE BECAUSE DIAGNOSIS SHOWED NOTHING

DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DIES. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND ALTERNATOR BELT REPLACED LAST SUMMER; NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SIMPLY "DIES".

I HAVE A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 2.4L ENGINE THAT OVER THIS PASSED WEEK HAS STALLED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHOW SIGNS OF "LAGGING" AND WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS JUST SHUT OFF. I AM CURRENTLY A COLLEGE STUDENT AND RELY ON HAVING A VEHICLE TO DRIVE, SINCE I LIVE 6 HOURS FROM HOME. TONIGHT I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND IT STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I WOULD GET ABOUT 100 YARDS AND IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN, FINALLY I GOT A SAFE PLACE TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY APARTMENT. TOMORROW I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS BUT I GO THROUGH THE MENU ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALWAYS SAY "SYSTEM: OK" SO NO WARNING CODE IS POPPING...

I BOUGHT MY 200S TO COMMUTE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I DRIVE 114 MILES A DAY. THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE. *DO NOT BUY THIS CAR* IT WAS AN OK CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT. EVERY TIME IT STALLS OUT I LOOSE BREAK AND SEARING FUNCTIONALITY. VERY DANGEROUS. TWICE IT HAS STALLED OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY CAR WHILE ON A MAJOR HWY 45 IN HOUSTON. NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE AND FEEL HELPLESS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME WAS A LOT CLOSER CALL. MY CAR STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON A HWY TO HWY ON RAMP. (ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE...

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES.

IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING SLOW DUE TO BEING IN TRAFFIC. I AM STOPPED OR BARELY MOVING AND WHEN WE START MOVING I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WILL NOT GO BECAUSE IT HAS FALLEN DEAD. I HAVE TO PUT MY FLASHERS ON, PULL OVER IF POSSIBLE, PUT THE GEAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT IS GOOD TO GO. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THIS HAPPENS IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON MOST TIMES WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON I CAME TO A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I PROCEEDED I MADE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT AND THAT'S WHEN THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PUT BRAKES ON IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID HITTING A CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL BECAUSE POWER STEERING WAS OFF BECAUSE ENGINE SHUT OFF. SCARED ME. I TOOK IT TO ROBERSONS DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE IT DID IT TWICE. THEY RAN COMPUTER TEST FOUND NOTHING WRONG. AND THEN TODAY THIS HAPPENED. I AM SCARED. I WILL TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. MONDAY JAN 12 2015. I THEN READ THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AND CHRYSLER DID FIND A PROBLEM BUT NHTSA DID NOT FORCE THEM TO RECALL.

THE PROBLEM: POPPING #33 FUSE (SWITCH BANK/DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTOR/PCM), HAVE BEEN REPLACING FUSES EACH AND EVERY TIME SO I CAN GO ON WITH MY BUSINESS. I FIND THAT IT HAPPENS BETWEEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE IN DRIVE/AUTOMATIC MODE OR AUTO-STICK MODE. DID NOT TURN MY CAR IN RIGHT AWAY (NOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE) BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE FELT SILLY IF I HAD MY CAR TOWED AND THE TECH. FOUND THAT A $.25 FUSE WAS BLOWN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH A RISK FACTOR THROUGH THE ROOF BECAUSE THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOU PUCKER UP AND HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT BEFORE YOUR CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT JUST RAINED HEAVILY AND I THOUGHT SOMETHING GOT WET...

WHEN I WAS MAKING A GRADUAL RIGHT HAND TURN (CURVE TO THE RIGHT) AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ON FLAT LAND, I EXPERIENCED TOTAL ENGINE SHUTDOWN, ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN, AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN A SPLIT SECOND - WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER I GATHERED MY COMPOSURE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, THEN TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND I WAS ON MY WAY WITHOUT ISSUE SINCE. MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 (4 CYLINDER) HAS ONLY EXPERIENCED THIS 1 TIME, BUT ONCE IS DEFINITELY ENOUGH FOR ME! *TR

WHILE SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THIS RENTAL VEHICLE (ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL), MY KNEE ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE IGNITION WHICH ENDED UP TURNING THE CAR OFF. REALIZING THAT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN, I ASSUMED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING HADN'T TAKEN. I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS MANUALLY AND COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO SPEED UP. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AMONGST TRUCKS AND CARS GOING 65 MPH + ON THE 3 LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE HAZARDS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE INOPERABLE AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I NARROWLY ESCAPED COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER AND CONTINUE TRAVELING. *TR

WHEN I DID MAKE OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME COMPLETELY. I BARELY MADE UT BACK TO NEW JERSEY IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE & MOVE ALL THE WAY HOME.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR THAT NIGHT (2 KIDS; HUSBAND & MOTHER IN LAW). I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO THIS ISSUE & ITS NOT BERN SOLVED YET. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS CAR TO THE NHTSA THIS TIME IS MORE URGENT BECAUSE THIS CAR STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THIS COULD'VE ENDED SO BADLY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 IN JULY OF 2011. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WHERE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IN THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED 4 TIMES IN 1 YEAR FOR THIS REASON. AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT CAUSING THE PROBLEM. ALSO I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TWICE IN ONE MONTH TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP. AND THERE IS ONE OTHER TIME I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE A SLOW CRANK AND THIS INCIDENT I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY SO THEY REPLACED THAT.

THE CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED. THE ENGINE FADES SLOWLY AWAY AND THEN COMPLETELY TURNS ITSELF OFF. THIS ENTIRE ENGINE FAILING PROCESS LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 SECONDS. THIS ENGINE FAILURE POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR A RESOLUTION OF IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT MUCH CLOSER AND IN-DEPTH, SINCE FURTHER DELAYS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. I PLEAD THAT CHRYSLER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COMMENCE A RECALL PROGRAM OF THE CHRYSLER 200 MODEL. I'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE FAILING 4 TIMES ALREADY. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT AT THEIR SHOP FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY DID NOT OFFER/GIVE A FREE RENTAL...

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, LIGHT WENT GREEN AND I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND CAR DOESN'T MOVE. I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT STILL DOESN'T MOVE. ALSO THE ENGINE MAKES NO NOISE..

THE FIRST WAS AUGUST 29TH, 2012, ALSO AT A RED LIGHT DURING THE DRIVE TO WORK. *TR

STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS & NOTHING HAPPENED. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 11 MONTHS. (NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE PRIOR TO MOST RECENT) WAS SLOWING TO A STOP, AND ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR STALLED. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT "WAS NOT" ILLUMINATED. EVERYTHING ON THE DASH APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. LIGHTS ON, RADIO ON, ETC. I HAPPENED TO FEEL THE CAR ROLLING BACKWARDS, WHILE STOPPED, AND BOTH TIMES STOOD ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACK AND STRIKING THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEHIND ME. (FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I HIT THE CAR, BUT CHECKED AND DID NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE) CAR RESTARTED OK EACH TIME, AND PROCEEDED NORMALLY. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP (ONCE FROM COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP, AND ANOTHER TIME SLOWING TO A STOP FROM ABOUT 45...

I DROVE MY CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES, I STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT AND WHEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND THE STILL WILL NOT GO, THEN I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND THEN THE CAR WOULD GO.

AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT I BEGAN TO BRAKE. AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR'S ENGINE CUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. I STRUGGLED TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AS THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TURNED THE CAR KEY ON OFF POSITION AND CRANKED IT UP. TWENTY MINUTES LATER AS I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP THE CAR SHUT OFF AND BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BY HEAVILY APPLYING THE BRAKES. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND CRANKED IT AND IT STARTED BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK THE CAR A SECOND TIME AND DRIVE OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 65. I BEGAN TO SLOW IN FAR RIGHT LANE FOR EXIT RAMP. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED LEAVING ME WITH NO ABILITY TO GET OFF HIGH WAY. NO POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC. THE CAR DID START AGAIN AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK AND TURNING IGNITION. VERY DANGEROUS AS FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND CAR JERK FORWARD INTO INTERSECTION. MY FOOT WAS ON BRAKE BUT IT STILL LURCHED FORWARD. WHEN I TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WHEN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC. *TR

IN DRIVE, COASTING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE DOWN SHIFTED AND THEN ONCE CAR AT A COMPLETE STOP, ENGINE LOST POWER - OTHER ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING BUT NOT ENGINE. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK, THEN TURN IGNITION KEY TO RESTART CAR. ENGINE RESTARTED AND REST OF TRIP WAS OK WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR
