2011 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE SEAL AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS LEAK CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT RAINS OR GOING THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC CAR WASH! I'VE HAD THE SEAL REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND IT STILL LEAKS!

DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASH, HORN ENABLES FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND VEHICLE DOES NOT START. TWO BATTERIES REPLACED. TWO DAYS OF ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TIME. HALF OF WHICH WAS CHARGING THE BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT DIED WITHIN A WEEK. ON OR ABOUT MARCH 22, 2016, ATTEMPT TO START CAR FAILED WITH THE DASH BOARD LIGHT FLASH, HORN ENABLES, AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. HORN ENABLES FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS EACH TIME WE ATTEMPT TO START. AUTOZONE GOLD BATTERY REPLACEMENT PERFORMED BY OWNER. HORN HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT; WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT ONLY ADDRESSED FOR POSSIBLE WIRING CONCERN BUT PASSENGER SAFETY. WITHIN ONE WEEK, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND INSTALLED BY OWNER. WITHIN ONE MORE WEEK, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ON APRIL 13, VEHICLE WAS DROPPED AT ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC MAYBERRY IN COLUMBIA, TN AND MOST OF 4/13 WAS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. ON 4/14, DIAGNOSIS RESUMED WITH FULLY CHARGED REPLACEMENT BATTERY. LOOSE BATTERY CABLE TIGHTENED. NO OTHER ISSUE FOUND. NO SOLUTION FOUND. SUSPECT OWNER WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE DEAD BATTERY WITHIN DAYS. NO HORN FUNCTION.

DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR DIES. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND ALTERNATOR BELT REPLACED LAST SUMMER; NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SIMPLY "DIES".

IN 2011, I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 200S. THE LIST PRICE WAS $27, 835. IN 2015, THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLEW OUT COLD AIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. I WENT TO LLOYD'S AUTOMOTIVE AND PAID $300 FOR A HEATING FLUSH AS LLOYD'S INFORMED ME THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. LATER IN 2015 MY HEAT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO LLOYD'S AUTO AND WAS INFORMED THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HEATING CORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS ACCURATE BUT CHRYSLER HAD NOT ORDERED A RECALL. OWNERS OF THIS CAR WERE HAVING TO HAVE THE HEATING CORE REPLACED. I RESIDE IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW ZERO. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED. THIS LIMITED MY SOCIAL OUTINGS AS I HAVE A CHILD AND COULD NOT HAVE HIM DRIVING AROUND IN A COLD CAR. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THE HEATING CORE. *TR

I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 200 AS I AM. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG, I BOUGHT IT USED. AND NOW MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. I AM UNABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY CAR WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR ANY UNEVEN PAVEMENT IN THE ROAD. YOU CAN'T GET ABOVE 40MPH WITHOUT ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES WHICH MY FRONT TIRES IS PERFECT AND MY BACK TIRES ARE SLICK!!! I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. I REFUSE TO PAY ANY MONEY TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT AGAIN. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE 200'S BUT ISN'T FIXING THEM. THIS IS NOTHING TO FOOL AROUND WITH, IT CAN BE AN ISSUE AS TO THE COST OF SOMEONES LIFE, THEN CHRYSLER IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES. I LIKE MY CAR AND I JUST WANT IT FIXED. I CAN'T EVEN GO HOME TO SEE MY FAMILY DUE TO THE FACT OF ME NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS NOT WORTH RISKING MY LIFE. ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAS A 200 WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU VERY CONCERNED DRIVER *TR

THE LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION ON THE DASH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IT DINGS AS IT COMES ON. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT NOW, BUT ONLY 5,000 WHEN THIS STARTED. I AM AFRAID OF A MALFUNCTION IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THEY LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS STARTED LAST JUNE OF 2015 AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY SINCE.
