2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER BUYING, THE CAR SITS DEAD. NOTICED THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW SO I ADDED COOLANT AND ONCE I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE IT HAD THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED AND HAS NOT MOVED SINCE! I JUMPED IT BUT IT STALLED OUT BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET THE HOOD CLOSED AND DRIVE ANYWHERE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE ISSUE HERE IS THE ALTERNATOR! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET??

MY CHRYSLER 200'S HEADREST "SAFETY FEATURE" EXPLODED INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD AS THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THIS WAS ENOUGH FORCE TO STUN AND CONCUSS ME, I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING CAUSING A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *TR

THE HEADREST ON DRIVERS SIDE HAS DEPLOYED TWICE IN 7 YRS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GANRUD CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 2300 AUTO PARK WAY, GREEN BAY, WI 54302, WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE REAR CONTROL ARMS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE AND COULD NOT BE RE-ALIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.*DT*JB

REFERENCE RECALL P60 FOR ALTERNATOR DIODE ISSUE. THE COMPLAINT VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH A DEAD SHORT TO GROUND CONDITION WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. VEHICLE RUNNING WILL INTERMITTENTLY DEAD SHORT TO GROUND. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THIS CONDITION AND THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SHORTED AND NONFUNCTIONAL. IN THIS CONDITION I REMOVED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE ALTERNATOR AND VOLTAGE WAS RESTORED. REPLACED THE CABLE AND OBSERVED THE SHORT CONDITION AGAIN. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE WAS NOT ADEQUATELY DEFINED INITIALLY. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS TO FCA DIRECTLY AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER OF: 76150991, THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THE REPAIR IS OUT-OF-POCKET UNTIL CHRYSLER ENGINEERING TO THE NHTSA MAKES A DIFFERENT DECISION. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WILL UNKNOWINGLY REPLACE THE BATTERY AND START DRIVING AGAIN, PUTTING THEIR LIVES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK.

I GOT A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 FROM MEGA AUTO OUTLET IN STAFFORD,VA.3-30-20 AND TRIED TO TAKE IT BACK TO MEGA AUTO OUTLET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY ABOUT WHY THERE WASN'T A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND WHY WAS THERE SOME MUCH NOISE FROM THE REAR. THE SALESMAN THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND TOLD HIM THERE WASN'T AND I WAS GOING TO BRING THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT A INSPECTION STICKER. BUT HE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND SAID TO ME IF I WAS TO BRING THE CAR BACK THAT THE POLICE WOULD THERE AND NOT TO BRING CAR BACK. I TOOK TO LOCAL GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING NOISES IN THE REAR OF CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I FOUND TOUT THAT THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO? *TR

MY ENGINE KEEPS STALLING WHEN I DECELERATE OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN JUST ONE WEEK AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I SLOWED DOWN ON I-77 DUE TO SOMETHING LAYING IN THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO HURT AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO CRANK IT BACK UP. THANK GOD IT CRUNK IT IN TIME TO KEEP ME FROM BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR SEMITRAILER TRUCK. *TR

MY CHRYSLER 200 HAS BEEN TURNING OFF OUT OF NO WHERE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING TURNS ON. MY CARS HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHEN PUT INTO PARK. I HAD 3 RECALLS AND RECENTLY WENT TO GET THEM FIXED THINKING IT WOULD HELP , SINCE ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS REPROGRAMMING THE MAIN MODULE OF THE CAR. STILL TO THIS DAY IT TURNS OFF ON ME. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN TOWN MAKING A TURN AND IT STOPPED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. IT'S ALSO TURNED OFF ON ME MANY TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IN ONE DIRECTION. AFTER IT TURNS OFF I AM ABLE TO RE START IT, AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE I'M ABLE TO GET IT TURNED BACK ON.
