2012 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

ON NOV 7 2016 AT ROUGHLY 7PM, I WAS HEADING WEST ON THE 10 FREEWAY LOCATION 34.065990,-117.993771, BALDWIN PARK, CA. TRAFFIC STARTED TO SLOW TO 45 MPH THEN CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND I WAS THE LAST ONE IN THE 4 CAR COLLISION. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES MAY BE FAULTY FOR WHEN I STEPPED ON THEM AS HARD AS I COULD IT SEEMED TO BE MORE OF A SKIPPING STOP. FOR THE LITTLEST BUMP FEELS LIKE UR HYDROPLANING TO A STOP. CHRYSLER NEVER INFORMED ME OF ANY RECALL ABOUT THE AIRBAGS THOUGH I FELT THEY SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP TILL MARCH SO I HAVENT HAD IT BACK BUT A FEW MONTHS.

THE AIR BAG & SEAT BELT TENSIONER MAY NOT DEPLOY, REPLACEMENT OF OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER IS REQUIRED. IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS WITH NO REMEDY PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER, THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY.

OUR AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON. WE GOT NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OF THE RECALL. BUT THIS MATTER REGARDING THE WHEEL BEARINGS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. I'VE REPAIRED MY CAR 5 TIMES ALL AROUND THE CAR. THAT'S NOT NORMAL. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE IN THE REAR END WHERE WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP, THE REAR END SHIFTS LEFT OR RIGHT.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, LEFT ME STRANDED, AND WITHOUT A CAR FOR TEN DAYS. IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF A DRUM ISSUE WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND IN FACT HAS MANUFACTURED A SPECIFIC 'REPAIR KIT' FOR JUST THIS SCENARIO. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $2,600, INCLUDING A THREE DAY CAR RENTAL FOR A PERIOD WHERE I COULD NO LONG BEG RIDES TO WORK AND HAD TO RENT A CAR AT MY OWN EXPENSE. ATTACHED ARE THE REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR BILLS. IN MY 40 YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING SEVERAL NEW CARS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH SIGNIFICANT ISSUE BEING EXPERIENCE IN A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, 61,800, ON A WELL AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION REVIEW THIS INCIDENT AND RECORD THEM AS A PART OF A LARGER CASE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER 'DO THE RIGHT THING' AND INITIATE A RECALL (SILENT OR PUBLIC) TO CORRECT THIS KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
