2016 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM NOTICE ON DASHBOARD. 4TH EVENT OVER 2 YEAR PERIOD. CURRENT MILEAGE 25000. DEALER HAS NOW REPAIRED WIRING CONNECTIONS ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE (TWICE). SENSOR AREA NEAR FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT, AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT CONNECTOR, THOUGH CODE THROWN THIS TIME WAS FOR LEFT SIDE SEAT DEPLOYMENT SQUIB 1. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH SO MANY AREAS OF THE SYSTEM FAILING DUE TO IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTIONS, THAT THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO FAIL IN IN A CRASH WHEN MOST NEEDED! FAULTS OCCURRED BOTH WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. LOCATION AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL WERE RANDOM WHEN FAULTS OCCURRED.

AIRBAGS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING, THE CAR IS INDICATING NEEDS SERVICE FOR AIRBAGS SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS IS A MAJOR RISK FOR THE SAFETY OF ANY DRIVER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER. THOUSANDS OF CASES IN WHICH CHRYSLER 200 FROM YEAR 2015 TO 2018 HAVE A MALFUNCTION HAZARDOUS AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DEPLOY UPON VEHICLE IMPACT. WARNING INDICATION OF SYSTEM FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS A SAFETY RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR THESE VEHICLES NOT TO OPERATE A PROPER AIRBAG SYSTEM.

DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED REAR LOWER SHOCK MOUNTING BOLTS ARE MISSING.

CRUISE CONTROL IS GETTING STUCK! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JUNE, 2018 AND EVERY TIME I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR IT GETS STUCK WHILE I'M TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'LL WORK FINE ON FLAT ROADS AND GOING UPHILL BUT WHEN THE CAR GOES DOWNHILL AND THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASES PAST WHAT I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON' THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE RPMS GO UP TO 5 OR 6 (SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE!). I PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T STOP IT, I EVEN MASH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WON'T STOP IT! I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. I'VE NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2016 CHRYSLER 200S DUE TO THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. BUT IT IS GETTING STUCK LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES AND I NEED HELP!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

I HAD A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE YET AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ON JUNE 5TH 2018 I HAD TO DROP MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL I WAS ABOUT EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY FROM HER SCHOOL AND A GENTLEMAN PULLED ME OVER TO LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT MY CAR BECAUSE UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. SO I TURN THE CORNER TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL IN THE PARK CARS CUT THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT THE CAR NEXT THING I KNOW THE CAR BLOWS UP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COMES AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. BUT MY CAR IS AT A TOTAL LOSS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE OR BLEW UP BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. *TT *JS

AS I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (D), THE CAR DISPLAYED A MESSAGE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO THAT STATES SHIFT TO PARK (P) TO START. AS, THAT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK UNTIL THE CAR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I SHIFTED MY CAR BACK TO PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A NOISE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO START WITH THE RPM'S FLUCTUATING TO ABOUT 3 (3000 RPMS) THEN GO BACK TO 0 THEN JUMP TO 1 (1000 RPMS) THEN BACK TO 0 RPMS WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD GIVE OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THEN IT WOULD RESTART AND RUN NORMALLY AGAIN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, DUE TO THE FACT OF HAVING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT GREW AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. LESLIE FROM CHRYSLER GAVE ME CASE ID #: 34798487. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SILVER SPRING LOCATED ON 12511 PROSPERITY DR, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904 TO BRING THE CAR TO GET SERVICED AND THE ISSUE LOOKED AT ON AUGUST 7TH 2018 AT 10:45 AM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED FOR MORE INFORMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THE BATTERY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,800.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAME ON AND WENT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN SHOWING SINCE 2017 -2018 "SERVICE AIRBAB SYSTEEM WITH THE RED AIRBAG SIGN LIT. THE SIGN COMES AND GOES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERS 3 TIMES AND NOT CORRECTED. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CALLED AT THE 18008531403 NUMBER. NOW THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME SINCE IT IS 2,OOO MILES OVER WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE BUILD DATE OF THIS VEHICLE IS AUGUST 18, 2015. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SAME ISSUE FOR BUILD DATES APRIL 7, 2014 TO AUGUST 3, 2015. THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THIS CAR WAS BUIILT DURING THE TIME . A RECALL IS NECESSARY ON THESE CARS TOO! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. THE COST SHOULD BE BORN BY CHRYSLER.

EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY CHRYSLER 200 NOV 28, 2017BTHE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING SHORT DRIVE TO THE MOVIES, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL. THEN A MONTH AGO, 06/27/2018 ANOTHER IGNITION COIL FAILED COSTING ME $250, LUCKILY WHEN THE COIL FAILED I WAS IN LINE AT A STARBUCK'S DRIVETHRU. NOW ANOTHER COIL HAS FAILED LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AGAIN, AND NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS PART AND AFTER RECENTLY READING REVIEWS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CALLED OUT, YET THIS VEHICLE IS STILL BE SOLD TO PEOPLE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE IN THIS LAST INCIDENT MY COIL WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING A HEAT ADVISORY. I ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PART THE IGNITION COILS ARE FAULTY AND ARE CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN.
