I HAVE A CHRYSLER 200 2011 WITH 67,000 MILES. THIS WINTER THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL, LEAVING ME WITHOUT DEFROST AS WELL. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME WHETHER IN IDLE OR DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED TWICE, THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, FILTER REPLACED, ETC. THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW THAT THE NEXT STEP IS REPLACING THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. IS IT BECAUSE EVEN MOPAR TECHNICIANS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM? MY TECHNICIAN SAYS IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S CHASING A GHOST. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER 5 YEARS, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A STAR ISSUE ON THIS CAR WITH CASTING SAND CONTAMINATING THE RADIATOR, COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEMS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2200 TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY 2011. STAR ISSUE S1109000002. FIRST MY AC DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER REPLACED. THEN MY HEAT DID NOT WORK BUT DEALER SAID IT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH CASTING SAND AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT IS NOT FAIR THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT REPAIR IF CONTAMINATED. THIS IS A KNOWN CHRYSLER PROBLEM FROM THE GET GO BUT NOT QUITE A RECALL. NOW PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SELL 5 YEAR OLD CARS FOR PARTS ONLY. THERE WILL BE CERTAIN DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE WHEN THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY SEIZES UP FROM ALL THIS CONTAMINATION AND CAUSES CRASHES. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE FIX ACTUALLY DOES NOT REALLY FIX THE CAUSE. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! I SAID WHY DOESN'T THE DEALERSHIP PUT IN THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTED IN THE STAR ISSUE AND HE SAID BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO EVERY CAR. SO BEWARE BUYING A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY A FIVE YEAR CAR PERIOD. THE STAR ISSUE NUMBER S1109000002 IS CAUSING ENGINES TO SEIZE UP DUE TO LARGE CONTAMINATION THROUGHOUT THE HVAC SYSTEM, RADIATOR, AND ENGINE AS IT SPREADS INTO EVERYTHING. IT IS LIKE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT HAS NO HEAT! IT HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM YET BUT AS THESE VEHICLES GET TO BE MY MILEAGE, THESE ISSUES CAN BECOME QUITE SERIOUS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE IT MONITORED BY A DEALER AND THE ENGINE JUST FREEZES ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY CONTAMINATED WITH SAND. I PAID $30,000 FOR A FIVE YEAR CAR AND DEALER WILL NOT HONOR EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I MUST DRIVE A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE. THERE IS ALSO A CURRENT RECALL THAT AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT DO NOT WORK IN ACCIDENT. *TR

WE LEFT CANADA TO GO ON A VACATION TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE TRIP WAS 3200 KILOMETRES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WIPERS WENT UP ABOUT 6 INCHES AND STOPPED WITHOUT BEING ON. LATER DID IT AGAIN. A FEW MORE TIMES. WE THEN TRIED TO TURN THEM ON AND IT WENT HALF WAY AND STOPPED. AFTER THAT IT DID ALL KINDS OF WEIRD THINKS FROM TURNING ON WHEN THE SWITCH WAS OFF. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED US TO HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES DURING OUR TRIP DUE TO RAINING AND SNOWING. THE LAST DAY WHEN WE FINALLY ARRIVED TO PALM SPRINGS, WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THE WIPERS WERE ON AT FULL SPEED. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO STOP IT. I THEN WENT ON THE INTERNET AND DID SOME RESEARCH. THANK GOODNESS FOR PEOPLE POSTING THEIR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, I WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO THE TIPM. IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER TIPM'S. AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AS THE WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED IN JUNE. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY AND RECALL OF THEIR TIPM'S. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THEIR TIPM PROBLEMS, IT HAS SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR INJURY. IT CAN QUIT TOTALLY ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUTTING DOWN ALL POWER AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT WILL JUST DIES SOMETIMES AT 50 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 75 MILES AN HOUR SOMETIMES AT 5 MILES AN HOUR JUST LEAVING A STOP SIGN NO FAIL CODES WHATSOEVER. AFTER ABOUT ONE OR TWO HOURS OF SITTING THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES GOOD UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DOES IT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE UNSAFE P.O.S.!

TAKATA RECALL WENT INTO HAYS DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA ON MONDAY MORNING 10/31/16 WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AND ASK IF I CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT FIX AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME UNTIL CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT ON HOW TO 'FIX THE PROBLEM' WHAT ABOUT THE LEMON LAW ON VEHICLES THIS PROBLEM IS ONE OF THEM. CHRYSLER ADVERTISE ALONG WITH OTHER CAR DEALERS ON HOW SAFE THEIR CARS ARE WHICH IT SEEM NONE OF THE CARS ARE SAFE ANYMORE DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP MAKE CHEAP TO CUT COST NO MATTER WHOM IT WILL EFFECT AND WAY OVERPRICED, IF YOU BROUGHT A WASH MACHINE, DRYER OR REFRIGERATOR IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OR ANY DEFECT ITEM THE COMPANY WILL FIX IT OR REPLACE IT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THE HONORABLE THING 'FIX THE PROBLEM' OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN ASAP! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE MY VEHICLE FIX AND GETTING NO WHERE WITH THIS WAITING TO 2023 IS NOT THE ANSWER HERE.
