A FOLLOWUP ON COMPLAINT #10826086. THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE CHRYSLER 200 MODEL IS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR EARLIER MADE MODELS UNDER R24/15V-470. LOOK AT JEEP RECALLS 13V-175 AND 14V-438 FOR THE JEEP COMMANDER AND CHEROKEE. IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

THE 200 HAS 3500 MILES AND WILL LOOSE POWER WITHOUT EXPLANATION. DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED ON CITY STREET AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON. I DID SEE THAT MANUFACTURING DATES OF BETWEEN 1/7/2014 THROUGH 9/23/2014 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) PER R24/NHTSA 15V-470. MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED DURING THAT PERIOD, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THIS SITE.

I WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 200 THAT I BOUGHT 4 MONTHS PRIOR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING UNTIL IT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF SO I COULD RESTART IT. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR NEWBORN BABY AND 10 YEAR OLD IN THAT BACK SEAT. NOT ONCE DID A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON OR ANY SENSOR COME ON TO TELL ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO OIL IN IT. SO I BELIEVE THE ENGINE, ELECTRICAL, AND SENSORS ARE ALL MESSED ON THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STUCK WITH IT BECAUSE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM REACHING OUT FOR HELP BECAUSE CHRYSLER WON'T AND I HAVE OWNED THIS CARE SINCE AUGUST AND IT WAS IN SHOP FOR 17 DAYS IN JANUARY, I HAVE IT BACK BUT I STILL DON'T THINK IT'S RUNNING CORRECTLY.

BEFORE REACHING 1000 MILES, I KNEW THAT THERE WERE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE: JERKING, HESITATING AND STALLING. THESE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS MAKE MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THESE DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS!!. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO OUR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR. BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN TO CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES I WAS TOLD & ALSO STATED THAT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT TO CHECK WITH CHRYSLER CORP?? SINCE THEN WAS ALMOST KILLED TWICE (MY WHOLE FAMILY)!! MERGING ONTO I-20 IN GEORGIA, GOING ABOUT 50 WHILE MERGING WHEN THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER MOVING UP QUICKLY IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I HIT THE GAS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED!!! I STARTED YELLING OH MY GOD MY KIDS SCREAMED DADDY MY WIFE SCREAMING THEN, THE CAR SHUTS OFF SO NOW IM WITHOUT POWER, THE TRUCK STARTED LAYING ON HIS HORN THEN THERE WAS BLUE SMOKE FROM THE TIRES OF THE TRUCK!! "TWICE" THIS HAS HAPPENED!!! OTHER INCIDENTS, WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT WHILE SLOWING TO STOP IT WOULD JERK THEN SPEED UP SOMETIMES THROWING ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC!! SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN!! THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!
