CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING. YESTERDAY DRIVING HOME DURING MY COMMUTE, IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN NYC THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THIS WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS RUSH HOUR, I WAS AT THE TIME, PASSING A SHORT BRIDGE WHICH OFFERED NO SHOULDER FOR ME TO PULL OVER. CONFUSED AND BEWILDERED, I FELT FEARFUL SOMEONE MY NOT SEE ME AND SLAM BEHIND ME. I QUICKLY PUT MY FOUR WAYS AND LITERALLY PUT MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW FRANTICALLY WAVING TRAFFIC AROUND THE DISABLED VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO RE-POSITION THE GEAR KNOB FROM DRIVING TO PARK, THE LIGHT INDICATOR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE DRIVE POSITION ALTHOUGH THE KNOB DID ROTATE TO THE PARK POSITION.

I WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 200 THAT I BOUGHT 4 MONTHS PRIOR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING UNTIL IT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF SO I COULD RESTART IT. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR NEWBORN BABY AND 10 YEAR OLD IN THAT BACK SEAT. NOT ONCE DID A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON OR ANY SENSOR COME ON TO TELL ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO OIL IN IT. SO I BELIEVE THE ENGINE, ELECTRICAL, AND SENSORS ARE ALL MESSED ON THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STUCK WITH IT BECAUSE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM REACHING OUT FOR HELP BECAUSE CHRYSLER WON'T AND I HAVE OWNED THIS CARE SINCE AUGUST AND IT WAS IN SHOP FOR 17 DAYS IN JANUARY, I...

BEFORE REACHING 1000 MILES, I KNEW THAT THERE WERE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE: JERKING, HESITATING AND STALLING. THESE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS MAKE MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THESE DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS!!. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO OUR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR. BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN TO CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES I WAS TOLD & ALSO STATED THAT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT TO CHECK WITH CHRYSLER CORP?? SINCE THEN WAS ALMOST KILLED TWICE (MY WHOLE FAMILY)!! MERGING ONTO I-20 IN GEORGIA, GOING ABOUT 50 WHILE MERGING WHEN THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER MOVING UP QUICKLY IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I HIT THE GAS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED!!! I STARTED YELLING OH MY GOD MY KIDS SCREAMED DADDY MY WIFE SCREAMING THEN, THE CAR SHUTS OFF...

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN SEPT. 2014. THE CAR THAT I TEST DROVE WAS NOTHING LIKE THE CAR I GOT. WHEN I MENTIONED THE DIFFERENCE TO THE SALES PERSON, HE STATED THAT THEY WERE THE SAME AND THAT THE CAR HAD TO ADJUST TO THE WAY I DROVE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO DO SERVICE WORK ON THE CAR PREVIOUSLY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CAR WOULD FEEL BETTER AFTER 250 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON ME AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A MEDIAN AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HASN'T BEEN PROFESSIONAL AT ALL IN REGARDS TO THIS RECALL AND I'M DISTURBED. I COULD HAVE REALLY BEEN HURT AND I'M NOT OK WITH THE FACT I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T MY FAULT AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY DIED.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR A YEAR. THE DEALER MAC HAIK IN GEORGETOWN TX HAS SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND WHEN IT IS PUT INTO GEAR IT LUNGES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY ANNOYING WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS. I HAVE TOLD THEM OVER AND OVER AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION MAN IS OUT ON LEAVE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE BECAUSE OF HOW IT DRIVES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. I AM FRUSTRATED AND VERY AGGRAVATED. IF THIS IS THE AMERICAN IMPORT OF THE YEAR, WE ARE IN DIRE STRAITS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR! THIS WAS NOT THE CAR THAT I DEMOED AND WHEN I SAID SOMETHING TO THE SALESPERSON, HE AND THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THE CAR...

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC UNTIL I AM CLEAR TO ENTER INTO THE ROADWAY. UPON A SPACE OPENING FOR ME TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO AND THERE IS A DELAYED REACTION FROM THE VEHICLE.

I DROVE SLOWLY TO THE DEALER, DOUG SMITH CHRYSLER IN AMERICAN FORK, UT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A CART AND HORSE CONCERN: APPARENTLY THE COIL ON THE #6 CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND ALSO THE COIL DRIVER IN THE PCM HAD ALSO FAILED. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH OCCURRED FIRST AND THEN LIKELY CAUSED THE OTHER PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR WAS NEARLY UNDRIVEABLE AS IT WAS; WHAT IF THE PCM HAD SUFFERED A CASCADING DAMAGE OF SOME SORT? ESPECIALLY, WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY? I JUST THINK THAT A COMPONENT OF SUCH IMPORTANCE AS THE PCM SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ONLY 11000 MILES. I...

2015 CHRYSLER 200 RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE RAC IN DALLAS, TX. 2.4L FOUR-CYLINDER/9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRAVELING AT STEADY 55-60 MPH ON A CONTROLLED-ACCESS TOLL ROAD. I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO APPROX. 65 MPH TO PASS A VEHICLE AHEAD, TRIGGERING A DOWNSHIFT.
