ALTERNATOR DIES AT 78,000 MILES. HEAT NO LONGER WORKS DUE TO HEATING CORE AT 60,000 MILES.

MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE TOP WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. IT WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE TOP DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT GO DOWN. IT HAS BEEN BROKEN SINCE JUNE 4,2017. THE PART NUMBER TO REPLACE IT IS 68028392AA. THIS PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO PUT MY TOP UP AND DOWN. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAVE EVEN CONTACTED FCA (CHRYSLER ADMINISTRATION). TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY RESULTS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY GOING FULL SPEED LIMIT SURROUNDED BY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS TERRIFIED. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON & CAN'T GET CAR STARTED. THEN CAR STARTS & ENGINE LIGHT GOES AWAY. NOT TO MENTION TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING & NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN 2015. CHRYSLER CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL 4/19/18 BC ITS BUSY SEASON. THIS MAY BE WHY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVERYTIME I TURN LEFT.

TOOK TO DEALER THAT PURCHASED FROM (HAPPENED CLOSER TO THAT DEALER THAN THE ONE THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD FIXED)....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENT CONTROL FAILED TO RELEASE HEAT FROM THE VENT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE FAILURE PREVENTED THE WINDOWS FROM DEFROSTING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MOTOR IS BROKEN AND THE TOP WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. LUCKILY IT IS BROKEN IN THE UP POSITION. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PART REPLACED THROUGH CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND NO AFTER MARKET PARTS ARE EVEN AVAILABLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2016, BECAUSE L WANTED A CONVERTIBLE AND NOW I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A WORKING TOP SINCE JUNE 4,2017. I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN L TRIED TO PUT THE TOP DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART NUMBER NEEDED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS #68028392AA.

MY STEPDAUGHTER'S CAR (2012 CHRYSLER 200), APPARENTLY HAS A BAD TIPM. TOOK IT TO CHECKER WHO DIAGNOSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WHICH HAD COME ON AND TOLD US IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TIPM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER (EARNHARDT, CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, RAM IN GILBERT, AZ) FOR AN N38 RECALL ISSUE (ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT/AIR BAG) THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD RESET THE TIPM MODULE AND WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT BEFORE WE TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL ISSUE, THE CAR HAD SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE AND MYSTERIOUSLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. WELL, LO AND BEHOLD AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM AND DID THE AIR BAG RECALL WE PICKED UP THE CAR AND MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD REAPPEARED AND THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVING LIKE [XXX]! I...

THE CAR ACCUMULATES DEBRIS BELOW THE WINDSHIELD UNDER THE PLASTIC TRAY WHICH CLOGS UP A DRAIN TUBE WHICH THEN MAKES THE WATER FLOOD BACK THROUGH THE HEATER CORE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR . WETTING THE FLOOR SOAKING THE CARPET AND CAUSING RUST AND BLACK MOLD. I HAD IT FIXED ONCE, BUT AFTER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHRYSLER CARS THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ALL THEIR VEHICLES FOR YRS NOW. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THIS DESIGN FLAW FIXED. EITHER THEY NEED TO HAVE FREE MAINTENANCE OF THIS OR THEY NEED TO HAVE A SEPARATE TUBE FOR RAIN DRAINAGE AND A DIFFERENT TUBE FOR AC HEAT DRAINAGE.. IT HAS CAUSE DEPRECIATION OF MY OVER ALL RESALE VALUE OF THIS CAR PLUS CAUSED CARPET PADDING DAMAGE RUST AND POSSIBLY MOLD IN MY CAR.. CHRYSLER KEEPS LAYING BACK ON THE OWNERS SAYING MAINTENANCE PROBLEM .. AND CHARGING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BATTERY DIED AND THE MIRRORS, LIGHTS, AND HORN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HILTON HEAD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (265 DRIVERS WAY, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR, GENERATOR, AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE LATER RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOW INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE REPAIR PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,914.

WHEN I TURN ON THE FAN WHEN USING THE HEATER OR THE AIR CONDITIONER THERE IS A NOTICEABLE CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THE SOUND AT THIS TIME IS LASTING ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR SO THEN STOPS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR STANDING STILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FLUCTUATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TOW COMPANY (718-828-1500) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE QUOTE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,580.

RE S61/NHTSA 16V-668 I HAD THIS CONDITION AND PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER (FCA) HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR ALMOST A YEAR THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR AS SOON AS THEY DETERMINE THE NEEDED PART. THEY STATE THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE AN IDENTIFIED REPAIR SO I HAVE TO KEEP WAITING FOR MY REFUND. THAT IS NOT TIMELY RESOLUTION.

THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1800 TO REPLACE THE TIPM, BUT I SEE OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING... EXCEPT MINE HASN'T. THIS ISN'T JUST A MINOR INCONVENIENCE... IT'S VERY VERY UNSAFE: 'THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AND BURNING OUT 'THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING RANDOMLY 'THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING 'THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START 'THE HORN GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES 'POWER WINDOWS NOT WORKING 'DOORS LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THEMSELVES MY WIPERS, HORN AND LIGHTS GO ON AT RANDOM TIMES. AT TIMES IT'S WHILE I'M DRIVING.... SOMETIMES IT'S WHILE IT'S PARKED. THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE TURNED ON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IT'S DRAINED MY BATTERY A FEW TIMES AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN DRIVABLE. IT STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER, 2016, BUT HAS CONTINUED THROUGH THE PRESENT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR THE LAST 2...

PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER 200 IN FEBRUARY 2017 AT 87,XXX MI. IT IS NOW JUNE 2017 AND 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 DAYS MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY DIED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND MADE A RIGHT TURN AND UPON ACCELERATING IT DIED, DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, QUICKLY TRIED TO RESTART AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL WITH JUST NOTHING HAPPENING WHEN TURNING KEY. TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND RETRIED AND STARTED RIGHT UP. NEXT DAY I WAS AGAIN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND BAM SAME THING SAME DETAILS. 3RD INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED THIS TIME I WAS DOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP, QUICKLY TOOK KEY OUT AND RESTARTED. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND DIAGNOSED AS CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION. REPLACED THE SENSOR AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN FOR SHORT DISTANCE AS THE FIRST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED WERE...

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IN RESPONSE TO MY 2012 200 CHRYSLER WHICH HAS COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT STARTED OUT WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPING ON ME AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I LOST POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY OFFICE BUILDING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THIS PART IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS PART ON MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE SOFTWARE A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW THE HARDWARE IS BAD. I SEE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE INCLUDING A LAWSUIT. IF SAFETY IS OF CONCERN, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD ANYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO HELP THE CONSUMER.

THERE IS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE SO THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AND IT AFFECTS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, ON CITY STREETS, OR AT IDLE. WE HAD THE PCM UPDATED IN DECEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW MARCH 2017 AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR AT IDLE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES BARELY WORK AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE HAS FAILED LEAVING MY CAR UNABLE TO START AND ONCE STARTED HAVE LURCHES IN ACCELERATION. WILL CRANK BUT NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START WHILE DRIVING (2 TIMES )TOWED TO DEALER AS (BOTH TIMES) TOW DRIVER COULD NOT RESTART. DEALER REPORTED NO COMPUTER CODES AND CAR STARTED AFTER CAR STARTED ON PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE COMMON SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS, THAT REPORTLY CHRYSLER AND NHTSA AGREED UPON A RESOLUTION TO AVOID A RECALL BY CHRYSLER OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN SEPT 2012. CHRYSLER DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE AND NOT SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH DEALERS SO THEY CAN TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION HAVE INCLUDED REPLACING THE POWERTRAIN MODULE, CAMSCOPE REPLACEMENT, MONITORING THE ON BOARD WITH A COPILOT COMPUTER-WHICH ALSO SHOWED NO CODES. THE DEALER DID SAY THAT CHRYSLER SUGGESTED AN ADDITIONAL MODULE BE ADDED TO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER, BUT NONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS RETURNED A THIRD OR MORE TIMES AS PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND APPEARED TO...

CRUISE CONTROL HAS A SHORT. IF I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ON THE CRUISE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND USUALLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON ABOUT ONE YEAR.

"TAKADA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH. I HEARD A CHIME AND LOOKED DOWN AT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ABS AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WAS ON. LIGHT WAS ON FOR BOTH. BUT INSTEAD OF THE ESC IT WAS THE LITTLE CAR WITH WAVY,JIGGLY LINES UNDER IT. THESE TWO LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON CONSTANT FOR A GOOD 3 WEEKS. IT HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING A FEW TIMES FOR A FEW MINUTES JUST TO COME BACK ON AND STAY ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. THERE IS NO FLASHING OF THE LIGHTS. I DON'T DRIVE EVERY DAY. I DRIVE AROUND 5 TIMES A WEEK AND SHORT DISTANCES OF 2 TO 4 MILES FOR THE MOST PART. THERE IS ALSO A WHISTLING NICE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK IT IS VERY SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE BRAKES AND TRACTION OF THE CAR ARE ALL...

TAKATA RECALL ----WHILE DRIVING, IN MOTION, TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL I START TO HEAR A WINDING SOUND. MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT POWERS THE RADIO AND UCONNECT SYSTEM STARTS TO SHUT DOWN. MY ABS LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND IM STARTING TO SMELL A BURNING IN THE CAR,WHILE THIS WINDING SOUND IS GETTING LOUDER, SMOKE IS COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE TIMING OR TRANSMISSION IS DISABLED , THE CAR SHUTSDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL EXIT. WE COULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND OR THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CAR SMELLS LIKE IT CAUGHT FIRE.

WITH NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT, ON I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, TURNING RIGHT ON A TWO WAY ROAD THE CAR WENT INTO TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY NO POWER. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO DRIFT ON THE SHOULDER. I TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CRANK SENSOR. I ASKED WHAT CAUSED IT, BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING, THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A SHORT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. A PASS TIME FAILURE OCCURRED AND THE DEALER REWIRED THE VEHICLE. A MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE TIPM WAS FAULTY AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A REPAIR SOLUTION FOR THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,444.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN HARRISONBURG VA TO BE REPAIRED. THEY ONLY FIXED THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS. MY CAR FAILED A STATE INSPECTION DUE TO MY AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING. I HAVE READ THAT "CERTAIN" CHRYSLER 200'S 2012 THEY ARE TO REPROGRAM THE TIPM THEN REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE IF NEEDED. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $400. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED BASED ON THE VIN AND MY ISSUE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TWO KIDS MY CAR HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR DAMAGED AND I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AN AIRBAG SHOULD NOT BECOME DEFECTIVE IN 4 YEARS. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS WHAT OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 200S HAVE ALSO. I AM STILL UNABLE TO...

TAKATA RECALL - I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL. I AM JUST NOW (JULY 2016) EXPERIENCING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND A WARNING TONE BEING EMITTED RANDOMLY WHILE I'M IN MOTION. I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW IF I CAN STILL TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT WORKED ON UNDER N38 13V282?

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 AND ON FEB. 1ST WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY A FIRE STARTED IN THE INTERNAL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR. A WEEK PRIOR BEFORE THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT A COMPANY LIKE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.
