Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle inadvertently lost power steering and another vehicle slightly crashed into the rear end of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries sustained. A police report was not filed. The contact stated that he forcefully steered the steering wheel and veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that he was unable to drive the vehicle after several attempts. The lightning bolt warning light illuminated. The vehicle was pushed to his residence with assistance. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

ON 9/3/21 MY CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING, NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, THEN IT RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN WITH OTHER CARS APPROACHING MY CAR, COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. UNABLE TO STEER AND HORN WITH A LOW BEEP. ON 9/4/21 ST 7:30AM WHILE DRIVING TO TAKE CAR TO GET CHECKED OUT I THOUGHT I SAW A SPARK WHERE AUX CABLE WAS INSERTED, I UNPLUGGED THE CABLE, NO BURNING SMELL OR ANY OTHER THINGS SEEN.

CAR LOSS ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET IN MOTION COULD NOT STEER OR DO NOTHING WOULD NOT CRANK UP AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT STARTED RIGHT UP.THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS IS FEBRUARY 18, 2021.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS. A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE DIES I LOSE POWER STEERING AND CAN'T GET IT OFF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES AN HOUR OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. MOST COMMONLY IT HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN REAPPLY, LIKE SLOWING DOWN FOR A CAR TURNING IN FRONT OF ME, TAKING A TURN AND TAKING AN EXIT RAMP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT AT A...

IN JULY 2019, MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200, THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014 JUST STOPPED. WOULDN'T GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A STEEP HILL. I WENT FROM 45 MPH TO NOTHING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON AND THE CAR WASN'T ACTING ANY DIFFERENT THAN IT HAD THE MILLION TIMES I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IT BEING JERKY WHEN TAKING OFF. THEY REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I WAS AND STILL AM THE SOUL OWNER OF THIS CAR THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 85,000 MILES ON IT. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY WARRANTY AND THE NOW BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WHICH I HAD IT TOWED THERE SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. I WAS...

ALL OF SUDDEN I FELT A JOLT IN THE GEAR SHIFT AND THEN I LOST POWER STEERING AND I COULDN'T STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE . SO I PULLED OVER THE BEST I COULD, ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AFTER GIVING IT A COUPLE MINUTES IT WAS TURNING OVER BUT NOT TURNING ON. THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY STALLED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. IT WAS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I HAD TO CALL FAMILY TO COME PICK ME AND MY DAUGHTER UP. AFTER A FEW HOURS WE CAME BACK A NEW TRIED IT. IT WORKED BUT AFTER DRIVING IT AN HOUR IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND THEIR ISN'T, HOWEVER WHEN I READ UP ON FORUMS AND MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER 2013 CHRYSLER...

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING, THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENTS WERE ON A HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 55MPH AND HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A 8 MINUTE PERIOD. THE FIRST TIME WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. WAITED ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED. 5 MINUTES LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. DID NOT RESTART FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES.

IT DIED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO WARNING AND NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. REPAIRS SOMETIMES RIGHT AWAY AND SOMETIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE.

WHILE DRIVING SLOWER, DECELERATING, OR BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK UP, AND THEN THE CAR STALLS/SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WOULD HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. IT HAS OCCURRED RIGHT BEFORE HAVING TO MERGE FROM A LANE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC (BUMPER-TO-BUMPER) ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, PUTTING ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION. LUCKILY, AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE...UNTIL IT DOESN'T AGAIN.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF HAVING DTC COME UP FOR EVAP AND MISFIRE THEN DISAPPEAR JUST A QUICK AS IT CAME UP, MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DECELERATING OR IDLING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AND TESTS GOOD EVERY TIME, AS DOES THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, WIRES, CONNECTORS AND SENSORS. NOBODY CAN FIND ANY DTC ON THE OBDII OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S EASY TO REPLICATE BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DECIDE WHY. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALLS FROM 2012 CONCERNING THE PCM AS WELL AS CHATTED WITH A FEW PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND NOBODY WANTS TO HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION, AS I CAN PROVE WITH VIDEO FROM MY DASH CAM AND BACK UP CAM. THE PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE WERE VERY RUDE, AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT EITHER WITHOUT CHARGING...

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (70MPH). MY STEERING WAS ALSO NOT WORKING AT THE TIME. WAS ABLE TO FINALLY PULL OVER. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DURING DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS INTO PLACE THEN AFTER COMPLETE STOP STEERING IS BACK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE THERMOSTAT RISES TO THE MAXIMUM THEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON. THEN AFTER 5MIN OR SO TEMP GOES BACK DOWN BOTH ENGINE AND TEMP LIGHTS GO OFF BUT BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S HEAVILY RAINING.

RACK AND PINION FAILED, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING

BREAK LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. STAYS ON FOR 30SECS AND THEN SHUTS OFF. HAPPENS WHEN GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, DOWN HILL, OR STOPPING ABRUPTLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NO CODES FOUND. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH 200S FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX. BREAK PADS WEAR DOWN AT A MUCH FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. EVEN AFTER BREAK SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED. HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE STOPPING THE CAR, JUST THE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN. 2ND. RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING IN 1 DIRECTION ONLY. IN MY INSTANCE, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO TURN LEFT NORMALLY AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN RIGHT. HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING THE CAR AND WENT TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE WHEEL. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP...

JUST PURCHASED MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 ON 01/20/2018 FROM A USED CAR DEALER PRE OWNED WITH 76590 MILES ON IT TODAY IS 3/13/2018 AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A BUSY ROAD AND FIRST MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS ON AND THEN THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BLINKING RED AND THE OTHER LIGHT STEADY YELLOW AND THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER OUT OF THE ROAD AND NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND I URGE YOU TO PLEASE LOOK AT THIS MATTER THIS IS NOT GOOD SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR IT IS NOT FIXED YET AND I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS CAR SO PLEASE ADRESS AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO THIS MATTER THANKS.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM FOR THE HARD STEERING. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS GOING OR HAS GONE OUT WHICH LEADS TO THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. THE HARD STEERING HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING. IT IS ALSO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SHIFTING,RACING RPMS,BANGING AND CLUNKY PLUS THE GEARS ARE SEARCHING. THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ALONG WITH ITS RECALLS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE WHEN PRESENT OR ENGINE LIGHT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT CALL IT NOT WORKING. BUT THEY STATE ITS WORKING FINE BECAUSE NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER GAVE ME A HARX TIME WITH IT AS A TRADE IN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY HEAR THE NOISE BYT STATE THEY ARE FINE WHEN IN FACT THEY DONT ALWAYS STOP WHEN PRESSING DOWN. MY FRONT END AND STEERING HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND REPLACED SO MANY TIMES . THE FRONT END SCAPES CLUNKS STILL. I EXPLAINED TO BOTH CHRYSLER CORP AND ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER IN WEST PALM BEACH. IM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE A BAD CAR SERVICE RECORDS STATE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND THE TRACTION AND TWO OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWIN CITY HONDA (10545 MEMORIAL BLVD, PORT ARTHUR, TX 77640 (409) 981-1220), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED IF THE FAILURE COULD BE A FUSE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUSES WERE CHECKED, BUT NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH MIDCOUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (8181 MEMORIAL BLVD, PORT ARTHUR, TX 77640 (409) 877-5024) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE RESEARCHED RECALLS ONLINE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE INTERMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS AND RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS DURING MOTION OF THE VEHICLE IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY. CAN BE VERY NOTICEABLE DURING TURNING AND ADVANCING IN SPEED.

STARTING OVER 1 YEAR AGO, MY CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES AND MORE DRASTICALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTS VIBRATING AND SHAKING WHEN OVER 55 MPH. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 10 TIMES FOR ALIGNMENTS, NEW STRUTS, NEW TIE RODS, NEW TIRES, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIXES. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND SOME OF THESE ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEAR CRASHING DUE TO THE EXTREME PULL TO THE RIGHT. I JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY ADJUSTED THE CAMBERS AND ALIGNED IT TO PULL TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE THE RIGHT PULL, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

CHUNKING AND SNAPPING PROBLEM IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX OR TIE ROD ENDS. I'VE HAD IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER ON AUG. 16TH. 2015 AND THEY COULDN'T FINE IT. BUT WHEN I WENT ON THE WEB THERE I FOUND HUNDREDS ON COMPLAINTS. I HAD A LIVE CHAT WITH THE NHTSA.GOV AND THIS PROBLEM WAS EVEN ON THE 2011 CHRYSLER 200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 7/1/15*CN

FROM ALMOST THE BEGINNING OF OWNING THIS CAR IT HAS MADE A NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE, LIKE IT COULD COME APART. I HAD BRAKE ISSUES ALSO. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE BRAKE NOISE, BUT NOT THE NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DETECT. YET, MY CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS NOISE. NOW, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A NOISE IF EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. CHECKED ON YOUTUBE AND MANY PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200'S, 2013'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEIR MECHANICS EITHER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OR IT'S 1. STEERING COLUMN 2. OUTER TIE ROD END OR SWAY BAR END LINKS 3. BALL JOINTS 4. BUSHINGS CAN BE WORN ON CONTROL ARMS OF SWAY BAR OR 4. TIE ROD. MY DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY OF...

WAS DRIVING ON I95N COMING FROM FLORIDA AND ABOUT 12AM MY CAR WAS FEELING VERY LOOSE IN THE FRONT AND SO THEN MY STEERING POWER WAS GONE AND THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND WE CRASH ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE RAILING AND THEN AGAIN ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE CAR WENT FLYING INTO THE DITCH. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR THE BANK TOOK IT AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT. THANK YOU ....UPDATED 04/08/15 *BF *TR

CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FINE WHEN PURCHASED NEW 18MONTHS.AGO. BUT AFTER HAVING IT FOR 3MONTHS. THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG. FIRST INCIDENT WAS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL IT HAS FAILED TO SHUT OFF FOR ME 3X. APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES OF PRESSING THE OFF BUTTON IT SHUT OFF AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER SHIP & THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED BUT NO ISSUES FOUND. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP & NO ISSUES FOUND THE MECHANIC SAID CAR SEEMED FINE BUT TO RETURN IF PROBLEM RETURNED. THE PROBLEM STILL COMES AND GOES BUT I TRY TO IGNORE IT BECAUSE THE SHIFTING ISSUE DIDN'T SEEM ANY WORSE. BUT NOW RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS ANOTHER PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MY...

AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 20-30 MINUTES) - WHEN MAKING TURNS OR TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS I START HEARING A KNOCKING / CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE SOUND MAKES ME VERY UNEASY AND IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COME APART. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM, AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS SOUND WHAT SO EVER IN ANY CAR! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND THAT THEIR ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! *TR

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CHRYSLER 200, I HAVE 39540 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND MY PROBLEM STARTED ON 11/11/14. AS I WAS DRIVING I COULD HEAR AND FEEL A POPPING IN MY STEERING COLUMN. I WAS DRIVING AT 5 MPH WHEN I NOTICED IT, I PULLED OVER TO CHECK TIRES. IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING TURNS VERSES JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. MY SON TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND UPON INSPECTION, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIE RODS AND RACK AND PINION ARE WORN AND HAVE A LOT OF PLAY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2013 AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUES WITH STEERING MECHANISM, WHICH THEY SAY IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN I FIRST GOT MY CAR I NOTICED IT PULLING TO THE RIGHT TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $85 FOR ALIGNMENT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO DO IT TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID IT WAS IN THE STEERING I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SERVICE MAN'S EXACT WORDING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HR AND I HAD A BLOW OUT ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER SAFELY. TOOK THE TIRE TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT WAS WORN FROM THE INSIDE NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ANYWAY WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WE ASKED THEM WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS STEERING PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CAUSE I HAVE TO HOLD TIGHTLY TO MY STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,200.

VEHICLE HAS NOISE AT STEERING ASSY. WHEN DRIVING .YOU COULD ALSO FEEL IT. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE TIE RODS. HOW CAN A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 6500 MILES ON IT HAVE BAD TIE-RODS? THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TO. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 11/2012. IT IS 2013 200S WITH THE V6 ENGINE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TORQUE PULL ON BOTH TAKE-OFF AND ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT IN A SHORT DRIVING DISTANCE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ONLY TO HAVE THEM SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 2000 MILES, IT NOW HAS 10,500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DO KNOW THE TORQUE PULL ISSUE IS BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE LINE DESIGN, THE V6 SHOULD HAVE A LIMITED SLIP UNIT, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT NOW. THE OTHER ISSUES THEY CAN, BUT WON'T BECAUSE IT COSTS MONEY. CHRYSLER GOT MY MONEY BUT NEVER AGAIN. I'M GOING ELSEWHERE TO...

I BOUGHT THIS CAR SEPTEMBER 14 2013. WITH IN A WEEK IT WAS IN THE SHOP DUE TO ALIGNMENT ISSUES AND OTHER COSMETIC ISSUES, FIXED COSMETIC ISSUES AND DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR WITH IN 4 DAYS THE ALIGNMENT WENT OUT AGAIN WAS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AND UNDERWENT ANOTHER ALIGNMENT HAD THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AGAIN ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AGAIN AND DURING A DRIVE TO MICHIGAN THE FLOOR GOT HOT. THE NEXT DAY THE FLOOR GOT HOT AGAIN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN. AFTER ANOTHER 5 DAYS THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT AGAIN. THEY BUT IT ON THE ROAD FORCE AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS FIXED. NOW MY CAR SHAKES, THE ENGINEER AT CHRYSLER SAID ITS THE TIRES, REPLACED TIRED AND IT STILL SHAKES. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND IS A NIGHTMARE ON TRYING...

WE TEST DROVE A DIFFERENT CAR THAN THE ONE WE TOOK DELIVERY ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. WE TOOK DELIVERY ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TROUBLE SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. WHEN STARTING FROM A SLOW ROLL OR A DEAD STOP WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WE RETURNED THIS CAR AND IT WAS SERVICED. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE. IT WAS IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLED. SECONDLY WHEN DRIVING ON A LESS THAN PERFECT ROAD THE DRIVER CONTINUALLY FEELS LIKE A LOSS OF CONTROL COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR THE SNOW HERE IN MICHIGAN. RECENTLY WE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR HAS TORQUE PULL AND IT'S NORMAL. I ASKED ABOUT THE WONDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE SERVICE TECH DIDN'T NOTICE...

I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 11/12, IT HAS 2810 MILES ON IT AND IS FALLING APART. I TOOK IN TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING AND THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE SCUFFED AND NOW THE RACK N PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ON TUESDAY. THE CAR SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS 300,000 MILES INSTEAD OF LESS THAN 3000. THE TAPPETS ARE RATTLING WHEN IT IDLES AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLAMS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THIS JUST STARTED WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM HAVING IT IN THE SHOP. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND WHEN THIS ONE IS PAID FOR IN 2015 I WILL GET TRADE IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE, IN MY OPINION. I HAD PLANNED ON GIVING IT...
