2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

WE HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM FOR THE HARD STEERING. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS GOING OR HAS GONE OUT WHICH LEADS TO THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. THE HARD STEERING HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING. IT IS ALSO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (SCHUMACHER CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP IN DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT *TR

I AM ALWAYS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE LIGHTS DON'T WANT TO TURN ON. THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WANT TO SWITCH ON. THE FANS DON'T WANT TO TURN ON. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THE CAR WILL BE IN DIFFERENT MOTIONS AND SO THIS SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO START IT OR SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT CAN END UP BEING DANGEROUS WHAT IF THE ELECTRICAL GOES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY, 2017, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH THE MESSAGE "GASCAP" SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE GASCAP THREE TIMES. I DON'T SEE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN IN 2013 ON THE CAR FAX REPORT FOR FUEL TANK PROBLEM RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS SINCE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017.

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A LEGIT BUSINESS, NORTH AMERICAN AUTO GROUP. THEY ARE RIP OFFS. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD AND TOLD ME I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT MAKING MUCH OFF THE CAR FOR THEM TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THOSE, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WENT BACK TO LET THEM FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO BRAKES AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY, THAT'S UP TO ME TO GET CHANGED ON MY OWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR HAS LEFT ME WITH A DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. THE STRUTS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COLD AIR WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT WHEN THE DEFOGGER WAS ACTIVATED, WHICH PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD FROM DEFROSTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TOA A THERMOSTAT WAS CLOGGED WITH GLUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE GLUE THAT WAS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS MELTED AND CLOGGED THE DEFOGGER LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, THEY NO LONGER BLOW ANY WARM OR HOT AIR, WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ON MAXIMUM HEAT. THE HEATER CORE IS BLOCKED WITH SLUDGE. WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED, THE COOLANT WAS MIXED WITH A MACHINING OIL THAT IS DESIGNED TO PLUG ANY PINHOLES THAT DEVELOP IN THE RADIATOR. OVER TIME, THIS ADDITIVE CAUSES SLUDGE TO FORM IN THE COOLANT. THAT SLUDGE BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM DOES NO GOOD. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN ADVISING DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISORS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, OIL COOLER, AND OVERFLOW TANK TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS COMMON ON 2012, 2013, AND 2014 CHRYSLER 200'S. THE PICTURES I HAVE ATTACHED SHOW THE SLUDGE IN THE OVERFLOW TANK THAT FORMS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND BLOCKS THE HEATER CORE. THE PLUGGED HEATER CORE PREVENTS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FROM WORKING, CREATING HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS BLOCKED VISIBILITY WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGGING OVER, PARTICULARLY DURING WINTER MONTHS. ADDITIONALLY, SNOW OR ICE PRECIPITATION BUILDUP ON THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE MELTED WHILE THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED.
