2012 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

2012 CHRYSLER 200 6XX,XXX MILES. CAR WILL SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE IN OPERATION; SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. HAS LEFT VEHICLE IMMOBILE IN ROADWAY.

OUR CAR STARTED OVER HEATING & SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT, THE CAR WAS BEEPING & THE GAUGE FOR THE HEAT WAS SKY ROCKETING TO THE H. WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE & THEN THE CAR WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. AT THE STOPLIGHT WAITING TO TURN OUR CAR ENDED UP SHUTTING OFF & NOT STARTING.

MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS PURCHASED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM FLORIDA AND I RESIDE IN ALABAMA I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO HISTORY. MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING AND LOOSING ALL POWER TO ENGINE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THERE IS NO CODES ON DASHBOARD. PCM WAS REPLACED STILL SAME ISSUE. IT IS VERY LIKELY THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING. IT CUT OFF TONIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 35MPH. THIS IS DANGEROUS

HEATER CORE...DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, RESEARCH REVIEWS OF CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE WITH MANY MAKES & MODELS FOR THEIR INEFFECTIVE HEATER CORE. THE COST TO FIX IS NOT CHEAP (I CAN SHOW RECEIPT) VERY FEW SHOPS WILL WORK ON HEATER CORE FOR THIS CAR. CAR HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH HEATER CORE, & I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN GIVE MY STORY AS I WOULD JUST BECOME EVEN MORE INFURIATED. ASHAME NO LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AGAINST CHRYSLER. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THESE IDIOTS DESIGNED A VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF ENTIRE BUMPER FOR TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BUMP (WHICH COST DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF THE ALREADY EXPENSIVE BULB). WORST PURCHASE EVER MADE, CHRYSLER COULD GIVE ME A CAR FOR FREE & I WOULD REFUSE TO TO KEEP IT AT THIS POINT. NEVER EVER AGAIN. JUST SAY NO TO CHRYSLER

NO HEAT . HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER DEALER AT A COST OF $1600.00. HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT COVER COST. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALER THAT THIS A MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY ONLY ADVICE ON HOW TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SHIFTING GEARS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STEVE LANDERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (401 COLONEL GLENN PLAZA LOOP, LITTLE ROCK, AR 72210, (501) 404-9103) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPAIRED. THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR SPECIFICS WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN 2012 WHICH CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT. NO HEAT/ DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE APPARENTLY CAUSED BY ENGINE BLOCK MANUFACTURING PROCESS FLUIDS MIXING WITH ANTIFREEZE CAUSING A BLOCKAGE IN HEATER CORE. IF THEY KNEW, THEN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, INSTEAD OF PROFITING ON THE REPAIRS NEEDED TO CORRECT.

I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 THAT STALLS RANDOMLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES AND NO RESULTS. THE SYSTEM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CODES STORED IN THE SYSTEM. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO PEOPLE. IT HAS LEFT ME IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE OR SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I HAVE LEARNED IT HAS BEEN AFFECTING YEARS FROM 2011 TO 2016

SO TWO WEEKS BACK ON ON SEPT. 19 MY CAR BROKE DOWN... WHICH I DON'T GET BECAUSE DEALERSHIP SAID DUE TOO IMPROPER LUBRICATION IN THE ENGINE, ALWAYS CHANGED MY OIL AND FILTER AND COOLANT OR ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT SAID MILEAGE. ALSO IN TOLD ME CYLINDER 4 BY DEALERSHIP WAS MY PROBLEM TILL IT BLOWN ALWAYS KEPT OIL SAME AND HEARD ABOUT IT NEVER TRIED TO DRIVE IT TILL I FOUND OUT WHY I HAVE THIS PROBLEM... WAS TOLD S.O.L !!! SO NOW HAVE NO CAR TO GET MY KID OR WORK WALK AND ASK FOR RIDES AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS FOR THIS ONLY HAVE 109,614 MILES ON FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD OF HAPPENED AT 200,000 MILES OR MORE I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR THING WAS MY JOY FOR WORK OR MY KID SO PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY....
