During acceleration, thick white smoke began to come out tail pipe. Car instantly turns off in the middle of the street in rush hour traffic while I had my 4 year old daughter in the car. Police threatened to impound car if not moved immediately. Had to pay a hefty tow fee twice to get the car to the dealership. Somehow oil and coolant had mixed together in the engine. Dealer said I’ll need a completely new engine. I’ll have to pay 1600 to get a diagnosis of the “exact” problem once they tear down the engine. At that point warranty company will come out to see IF they can help. I was quoted a possible 12,000 job. I’ve had this car for 7 months and had done all routine work since. I’m so hurt smh

UNKNOWN- I was driving and it was storming bad, I accidentally drove through this road that was flooded and my car then said throttle control and my car started to not drive as well then when I took a turn my car stopped and it would not move. I turned it off and it started going again, then when I was going up a hill while I trying to turn my car would not move, the vehicle stability indicator turned out and so many more signs, so then I tried to turn my car off again and it was stuck in drive and would not turn off, I wasn’t able to move the gears it was locked on drive but not moving so I had to disconnect my battery and then it started moving again, not safely but I made it home. Please what do I do
I have two Chrysler vehicles of the same timeframe. This 200 C and a 2017 Pacifica. Both of them have the 3.6 L Penta star V6. Both of them have had the same problem. Where the oil filter goes it is a plastic housing that goes to a metal oil cooler assembly. That housing becomes dry and brittle due to heat and cracks causing significant oil leaks. The van had to be repaired by the dealer at the cost of almost $1100. My 200 C started smoking real bad and actually had a small fire start on the back side of the engine that I was thankfully able to put out real quick. This is a known problem and from what I understand Chrysler has re-engineered these parts. This has been happening to a lot of these vehicles. I believe Chrysler should be forced to repair these vehicles via recall....

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING OIL AN ANTIFREEZE INSIDE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THE OIL WILL START A FIRE, OR IF THE SMELL COULD HARM ME. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE SEEMS TO MBE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILLER, COOLER UNIT. I WAS ABLE TO SHINE A FLASHLIGHT DOWN AT THE BASE OF OIL COOLER AND COULD SEE ANTIFREEZE STANDING ON ONE SIDE AND OIL STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE. i DON'T SEE ANY OIL ON GROUND BUT I SMELL IT STRONGLY AND I HAVE TO ADD BOTH OIL AND ANTIFREEZE EVERY 2 WEEKS i WORK ON MY OWN CAR. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS NOR CODES IT SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON YOUTUBE AND THE CHRYSLER 200 FORUM

Electrical system under the seats smoked and went out for the air bags. Cost me $2,200 dollars out of pocket. I am on Social Security. Can't afford such dept. Brakes are sluggish and can't be trusted to stop quickly. Power Train ,Electrical System,Engine not safe. Electrical system, Service Brakes, Forward Collision Avoidance System needs to be looked at and replace if needed.
Car is stalling for unknown reason without any warning or light appearing on dash. Feeling unsafe especially when driving on the highway because I never know when it will happen. Has been happening every day for the past 3 days. Happened in the beginning after a couple months of having the car and the first time I took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong or replicate the problem.
About 2 weeks ago , my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life… I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.
My car has shut off several times after starting. I have had to turn the car on and then turn it back on. The car has shut off on me a few times while driving. I just purchased this car as used in August of this year (2021). I am afraid this issue could happen while on the highway while cars are going at a high rate of speed. This most recent incident was today as I was going off to work.
The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it’s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.
The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to start the vehicle, the pedal was hard to depress. Additionally, while driving the vehicle would suddenly stall without warning. The failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 73,000.
My car is using an excessive amount of oil. I did an oil change on April 4th and by May 4th my car was telling me I need an oil change. I had not even driven it the recommended 3,000 miles before doing an oil change. I added the 1 1/2 quarts of oil that my car showed was low and had only driven it for a 2 hour trip before it needed oil again. It also smelled like it was burning.
This Chrysler 200 will stop while I am driving for no reason!

ON A HIGHWAY WHILE ABOUT TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN TAKING OFF. THE ENGINE HESITATES AND DIES WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. TAKING AWAY POWER STEERING AND MAKING IT HARDER TO STOP DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
IF THE CAR IS SITTING IN PARK WHILE THE CARD IS RUNNING IT WILL SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON BY ITSELF
SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE WHEN MAKING HARD TURNS THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES OUT AND LOCKS MY STEERING AND PUTS THE CAR INTO A FULL BREAK LOCK THIS LEADS TO ME HAVING TO TRY TO START MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING THIS COULD BE FATAL WHEN IT DOES OUT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE BROUGHT IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO FIX

ENGINE OIL LEAK
AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE DIED OUT. LOCKING MY BRAKES AND MY STEERING WHEEL. AT THIS VERY MOMENT THE GEAR D WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH AND TELLING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLES AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT START THE CAR UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURRED WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.
SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO REPAIR ISSUE WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION ON VEHICLE. RANDOMLY THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. ENGINE, MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ISSUE REMAINS. VEHICLE WILL ALSO HESITATE TO START CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TRY AGAIN TO START THE VEHICLE. BATTERY HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE.
ENGINE STATED OVERHEATING. SOMETIMES WILL NOT START AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THE ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER FAILED ON THE CAR AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YRS. I SEE A LOT OF REVIEW ON THESE PARTS FAILING MEANING THEY WERE MADE POORLY. YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO CUT OFF ON YOU WHILE YOUR DRIVING DUE TO THE AIR NOT BEING FILTERED TO THE ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS FAST.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO NOTE ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING AS WELL.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL ALTHOUGH WE PERFORM ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE.
I AM ASKING YOU TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. YOU INVESTIGATED THE 2015 MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED AS A RESULT. THE 2016 IS JUST AS DANGEROUS. IS THERE A REASON WHY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO DRIVE 2015 MODELS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE OR MY CHILDREN? IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS! THE STEERING CUTS OFF TOO. I HAVE TO FIRST STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING, SHIFT INTO PARK, PUSH START, AND WAIT, WHILE I BRACE MYSELF FOR THE IMPACT THAT IS ABOUT TO SHATTER MY SPINE OR KILL MY CHILDREN! IT BEGAN AS SOON AS I HIT 60K MILES A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TURNING, SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TURN OFF,...
