2012 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE PUSHES OUT COLD AIR, TERRIBLE TO DRIVE IN AND UNCOMFORTABLE. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ALTERNATOR AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY WINDSHIELD FROSTED OVER FROM BEING SO COLD AND I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD BATTERY REPLACED SINCE THE BATTERY WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONLY 29582 MILES ON IT. SEEMED TO FIX THEN WHILE DRIVING 3 MILES LATER BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALER THE MEXT MORNING. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARDONE BY ONE UNTIL IT CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET DURING DAY. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIFTING INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I CAN ONLY ASSUME OT MAY BE THE ALTERNATOR SINCE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW NOW. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS PART OF CAMPAIGN #17V-435 BUT MY CAR IS A CHRYSLER 200 3.6 ENGINE 6 CYLINDER TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND THAT RECALL DOES NOT SHOW 200'S ON THE NOTICE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICIES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.. I BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND FAITHFULLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES.
