I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION.THURSDAY 9TH FEB I WAS GOING TO WORK MY SPEED WAS AROUND 65-70 MPH. I SLOWED DOWN TO LET ON COMING TRAFFIC AND MY TRANSMISSION JUST JUMPED HARD. IT HAS SOMETIMES CLUNKED WHEN GOING AROUND 45 MPH BUT NOT THAT HARD. IT SCARED ME I THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FALLING OUT. I BOUGHT IT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL JUST NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROVIDE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING PROPERLY.

THE ALTERNATOR EXPERIENCED A RAPID FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 NORTH THROUGH MARYLAND AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~65 MPH), THE ABS AND STEERING CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF, JOINED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BY THE BRAKE INDICATOR. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE VENTS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE BATTERY DIED--NO HAZARD LIGHTS, OR ANYTHING. I LIFTED THE HOOD TO CHECK AND IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR IS A 3.6L WITH A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. THE SAME ALTERNATOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA RECALL 14V-634) IN THE REAR-WHEEL DRIVE VERSIONS OF THESE CHRYSLERS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR, DIFFERING ONLY IN THE HOUSING. THERE WERE NEVER ANY INDICATORS THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS GOING BAD--NO DIMMING LIGHTS, NO HISTORY OF REQUIRING JUMP STARTS, ETC. THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND WOULD HAVE PUT US IN A DEAD CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM HAD WE NOT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE HAS STALLED WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. THEY CHECKED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.
