2 COMPLAINTS/CONCERNS: 1) THIS AFFECTS THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 I PURCHASED USED WITH 62,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HOW THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PART OF A GROUP OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FACTORY. THIS ANTIFREEZE BREAKS DOWN AND WILL CLOG THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR, FROM CHRYSLER, IS TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LISTED PARTS AT A COST OF ABOUT $2500.00. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS WE SPEAK HAVING THESE REPAIRS MADE. 2) THIS ONE I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED, BUT I ALSO SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS WHERE THE PENTASTAR V6 EQUIPPED IN A NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MANY OF THESE CASES ARE WHEN THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE CENTERED AROUND A PCM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OF ANY KIND ON THIS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012 FROM CHRYALER DODGE AND JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD PA. I BABE AROUND 96,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THIS WILL NOW BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN MY VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I KNOW, THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD LAST UP BETWEEN 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN A DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR. ALONG WITH SOME OF THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS I AM NOW READING ABOUT WITH MY MODEL, HAVING KIDS, I AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY HEALTH AND SAFTEY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ON YOUR END

TAKATA RECALL NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE, BLOWS COLD AIR. UNABLE TO DEFROST PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISED THAT HEATERCORE PLUGGED, NEED TO REPLACE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, ENGINE OIL COOLER & THERMOSTAT. HAD ALL REPLACED, AT A COST OF $2200. ONE YEAR LATER, SAME PROBLEM, NO HEAT PASSENGER SIDE.

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, MY CAR JUST DIED. THE SPEEDOMETER FLUNCUATED, ALL LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF, THEN JUST DIED COMPLETELY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER AND DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS A KNOWN HEATER CORE ISSUE CAUSED BY FAULTY COOLANT CAUSING SLUDGE BUILD UP IN HEATER CORE. MECHANICS KNOW OF THIS, CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS. WITHOUT A FIX THE WINDOWS CAN STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN VISIBILITY, AND MAINTAIN HEAT LEVELS. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND/OR RADIATOR. WHICH CAN BE $1200-$1800, HERE IS A WEB LINK TO A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/200/2012/AC_HEATER/HEATER_DOESNT_WORK_PASSENGER_SIDE.SHTML
