THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC), SHIFTER, PARKING BREAK, TRANSMISSION WIRE, POWER TRAIN, AND ENGINE STOPPED WORKING ON 12/05/15. THE CARE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER ON 12/7/15. THE WORKED ON IT ALL WEEK THROUGH 12/10/15. THE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. I CAME TO PICK IT UP, AND I DROVE IT BACK TO WORK, TO THE STORE, THEN BACK HOME WHERE IT WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT. I WAKE UP THIS MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND DROP MY GIRLS OFF AT SCHOOL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE CAR WILL NOT START, THE BRAKE IS TIGHT, THE SYSTEM IS NOT DETECTING MY KEY FOB, AND THE CARE JERKS A LITTLE BIT AND THEN DIES. THE DASH WILL COME ON BUT THE CARE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME "IT WORKED LAST YESTERDAY ONCE WE FINISHED REPAIRS.' I'M FRUSTRATED AND MADE BECAUSE I ONLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT 2 WEEKS AGO THAT MY CAR WAS UP FOR A RECALL. THEN THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME IT'S UNDER 2-3 RECALLS. MY INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS MECHANICAL AND NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT I CAN'T GET A RENTAL. I CALL THE DEALER TO REQUEST A LOANER CAR, AND THEY TELL ME THAT CHRYSLER ONLY PROVIDES THEM WITH FIVE LOANER CARS, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR HIGHER PRIORITY CUSTOMERS WHO MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IF I READ THIS ONE RECALL CORRECT, ONE OF THE ISSUES CAN CAUSE ME TO HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN A BAD ACCIDENT IT THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECT. TO TOP IT OFF THEY WON'T EVEN PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT THEY DON'T USUALLY REPLACE CARS, AS THEY PROBABLY WILL ONLY MAKE REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HERE TELLS ME THAT THE RECALLS WERE MADE IN FEBRUARY 2015. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED UNTIL RECENTLY. I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. VERY UNHAPPY!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE BY THE GEAR SHIFTER I HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE IT WAS STOPPED THE CAR WAS TOTALED

THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SINCE JULY 2015, AND I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE UNDERCARRIAGE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

CAR HAS TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. WELL BELOW GOVT AVERAGE/WINDOW STICKER. I WAS ONLY GETTING 17 MPG WHERE THE MIN CITY RATING WAS 23. AFTER MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER AND DEALING WITH THE TERRIBLE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE SERVICE DEPT FINALLY DID THE TSB THAT DEALT WITH THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATION. THEY REFLASHED/UPDATED THE TRANS SOFTWARE AND NOW I'M GETTING 24 MPG WHICH IS THE BARE MINIMUM I BASICALLY SHOULD GET. HIGHWAY IS STILL FAIRLY BELOW SPECS AND I DO NOT GET NEAR THE COMBINED 28 MPG EITHER. I HAD ALMOST 4700 MILES ON THE CAR BEFORE THEY REALIZED THEY NEEDED TO DO THE TSB ON IT. NOW OF COURSE AFTER SPENDING MUCH MORE MONEY ON GAS THAN I SHOULD HAVE, CHRYSLER DOESN'T CARE AT ALL AND BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I ASKED FOR FAIR COMPENSATION SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT THEY LET A CAR OUT OF THE FACTORY THAT WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY NOR DID THE DEALER DO THE TSB BEFORE THE CAR WAS SOLD. I DOUBT I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER FCA VEHICLE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. ALSO THE CAR HAD JERKY TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT PROMPTED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE TRANS TO BEGIN WITH THEN THEY FOUND THE TSB INFO.
