2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING SLOWER, DECELERATING, OR BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK UP, AND THEN THE CAR STALLS/SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WOULD HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. IT HAS OCCURRED RIGHT BEFORE HAVING TO MERGE FROM A LANE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC (BUMPER-TO-BUMPER) ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, PUTTING ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION. LUCKILY, AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE...UNTIL IT DOESN'T AGAIN.

DRIVING OVER 60 OR 70'MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TOO FAST (STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TOO MUCH) I.E. FLOORING IT. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AND WILL NOT START AGAIN FOR AWHILE. ONCE THE VEHICLE STARTS UP THEN IT WORKS FINE. RARELY DO I NEED TO ACCELERATE THAT MUCH GOING THAT FAST BUT IT'S HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE MECHANIC I WENT TOO SAID HIS SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF HAVING DTC COME UP FOR EVAP AND MISFIRE THEN DISAPPEAR JUST A QUICK AS IT CAME UP, MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DECELERATING OR IDLING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AND TESTS GOOD EVERY TIME, AS DOES THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, WIRES, CONNECTORS AND SENSORS. NOBODY CAN FIND ANY DTC ON THE OBDII OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S EASY TO REPLICATE BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DECIDE WHY. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALLS FROM 2012 CONCERNING THE PCM AS WELL AS CHATTED WITH A FEW PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND NOBODY WANTS TO HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION, AS I CAN PROVE WITH VIDEO FROM MY DASH CAM AND BACK UP CAM. THE PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE WERE VERY RUDE, AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT EITHER WITHOUT CHARGING $300 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. IT'S SAYS RIGHT ON THE WEBSITE "WHAT IS A SAFETY RECALL? SAFETY RECALLS INCLUDE ANY PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED WITH AN FCA US PRODUCT RELATED TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE OR THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS. FCA US LLC WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AT NO CHARGE, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER." AS WELL AS "RECALL FAQS FCA US REGARDS THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AS PARAMOUNT. PLEASE SEE OUR LIST OF FAQS BELOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RECALLS AND THE PRECAUTIONS WE TAKE TO KEEP YOU SAFE. IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR CONCERN LISTED,CHAT WITH USAND ONE OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES WILL HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE." THE RECALL I REFER TO IS THE TECH BULLETIN 18-102-16A WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS "-2-

THE TURN SIGNAL STARTED WORKING ON ITS OWN AND THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING ON THERE OWN THEN THEY JUST QUIT WORKING.

I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND WITHIN 1 YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY 5 TIMES. ALSO TO GET ONLY 16 MPG IS NOT RIGHT ON A 4 CYNPYNDER CAR

CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING CALLED RECALL SAID THAT MY CAR DOESN'T GO BUT IT'S LOSTED UNDER MY RECALL

ENGINE STALL EVER TIME I DRIVE MY CAR ENGINE WILL STALL IT HAS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE HIGHWAY.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE, ALL OF MY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEN WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED UP AGAIN, THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND MADE MY MUFFLERS RATTLE AS WELL. THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAVE A NEW BATTERY, FRESH OIL CHANGE, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR ISSUES AND NONE WERE FOUND. MY ENGINE HAS QUIVERED EVERY NOW AND THEN SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JUNE OF 2016, IT IS A 2013. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE, THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I DID CONTACT THE CHRYSLER COMPANY AND MADE THEM AWARE OF MY SITUATION.

THE HEATER COIL HAS STOP WORKING ON PASSENGERS SIDE, FROM BUILD UP OF SLUDGE. IT ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE, NOT ALL THE TIME. SO I DO NOT HAVE A DEFROST TO KEEP MY WINDOWS CLEAR SO I DO NOT GOOD VISIBILITY. I HAVE RESEARCHED UP ON THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER VENT FAILED TO PROVIDE VISIBILITY. THE DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY WIPE THE WINDSHIELD TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
