THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

THE CAR JUMPS AND JERKS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AND THE ROAD BECOMES UNEVEN,HAS BUMPS OR IS ANYTHING BUT SMOOTH. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF REAR TIRES DUE TO THE TIRE WEARING DOWN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RADIAL CORDS.I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER USED. 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE DATE I WAS DRIVING ON A GROOVED ROAD AND THE CAR STARTED SWAYING AND SWERVING TO THE POINT OF LOOSING CONTROL AND GOING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG. THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING 40-45 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP AND JERK IN TURN I OVERCORRECTED AND SPUN AROUND IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SOMEBODY WILL BE KILLED IF CHRYSLER DOESNT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM A WOMAN AND HAVE NO CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I CAN SAY THE CAR IS GETTING MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I DONT HSVE S CHOICE I HSVE TO DRIVE IT. ITS ALL I HAVE. PLEASE DO A RECALL

I OWE A 2011 CHRYSLER 200S AND IT HAS BEEN STALLING AND CUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE. I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE STALLING WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR. CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO ASSIST. I NEAR CAUSE 2 ACCIDENTS DUE TO CAR STALLING ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF I HAD NO STEERING CAPABILITY AND WHEN TRYING TO START IT WONT UNTIL ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

NO HEAT COMING FROM THE VENTS. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS DURING COLD MONTHS. WINDOWS FOG UP AND BLOCKS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WIPE THE WINDSHIELDS EVERY DAY. ESPECIALLY ON MY 1 HOUR DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE. I ALSO HAD TO BUNDLE UP WHEN I DRIVE FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL MARCH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR WORSE , KILLS SOMEONE ELSE. I CAN ONLY PUT IN 1 DATE BELOW BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY WINTER.

MY VEHICLE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AFTER GETTING A NEW BATTERY. THEN DRIVING ONE DAY ON STREET IT JUST STALLED OUT. IT STARTED UP AFTER 2 MINS. PARKED IT ABOUT 1/2 AN HOUR IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP ONLY TO STALL AGAIN 2 MORE TIMES BOTH ON STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I GOT A ALERT OIL CHANGE REQUIRED (WALMART) CHANGED THE OIL MADE IT HOME LATER WENT BACK OUT FOR THE CAR TO STALL AGAIN SAME BUSY STREET, IT STARTED ABOUT 4 MINS LATER, MADE IT HOME DIDN'T MOVE IT COUPLE DAYS. MECHANIC PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTIC SAID I NEEDED ALTERNATOR STILL STALLING AFTER NEW ALTERNATOR. HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR A MONTH! BATTERY LIGHT STILL ON AFTER NEW ALTERNATOR AS WELL.

OCTOBER 2017, JANUARY 2018 AND APRIL 2018 MY CHRYSLER 20 LIMITED V-6 FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WILL CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND WILL ONLY START AFTER SITTING FOR 45 - 60 MINS AND WILL LEAVE KNOW EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HAPPENING.

MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASED (BRAND NEW) TENDS TO WEAR THE BACK TIRES OUT AND SWERVES WHEN IT HITS A BUMP, RAIN, OR SNOW. IT GETS WORSE WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF WEIGHT IN THE BACK. SUCH AS, TWO PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND FOR THIS REASON I TEND TO BE ALONE IN THE CAR BECAUSE IT COULD BECOME DANGEROUS TO TAKE PASSENGERS.

ENGINE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND IF LUCKY STARTS UP AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR WITHOUT ANY INDICATION WHY.
