VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START WHILE DRIVING (2 TIMES )TOWED TO DEALER AS (BOTH TIMES) TOW DRIVER COULD NOT RESTART. DEALER REPORTED NO COMPUTER CODES AND CAR STARTED AFTER CAR STARTED ON PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE COMMON SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS, THAT REPORTLY CHRYSLER AND NHTSA AGREED UPON A RESOLUTION TO AVOID A RECALL BY CHRYSLER OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN SEPT 2012. CHRYSLER DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE AND NOT SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH DEALERS SO THEY CAN TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION HAVE INCLUDED REPLACING THE POWERTRAIN MODULE, CAMSCOPE REPLACEMENT, MONITORING THE ON BOARD WITH A COPILOT COMPUTER-WHICH ALSO SHOWED NO CODES. THE DEALER DID SAY THAT CHRYSLER SUGGESTED AN ADDITIONAL MODULE BE ADDED TO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER, BUT NONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS RETURNED A THIRD OR MORE TIMES AS PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND APPEARED TO GIVE UP. THIS LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD NEEDS TO BEINVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED, AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A ROADWAY AND THE MOTOR JUST SHUT OFF., IF THIS NOT RESOLVED IT WILL SOMETIME CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATHS, WHICH COULD END UP WITH A RECALL SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF ON COMPUTERS.

MY CARS HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED. WHEN WE WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER 200. WE HAD IT FIXED IN FEBRUARY 2016 FOR $800. NOW IN NOVEMBER 2016 IT IS PLUGGED AGAIN!

PARTIAL DEFROST. THE COOLANT HAS SOMETHING IN IT (FROM THE FACTORY) CAUSING THE HEATER CORE TO PLUG UP AND THEN THERE IS NO DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THUS IMPAIRING THE VISIBILITY. MY CAR HAS 24,000. MILES. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A STAR REPORT SENT TO DEALERS IN 2012. THAT REPORT NUMBER IS STAR CASE S1207000008.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT TRANSPONDER MAY NOT WORK IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM NOT WAITING UNTIL JUNE 2017 FOR A REPAIR. I WANT A BUYBACK IMMEDIATELY....WITH INCENTIVE ...SO I CAN GET ON WITH MY LIFE. A RENTAL IS BEING OFFERED AT THIS TIME . I AM NOT SATISFIED AND A BUYBACK WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
