2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I AM WRITING IN TO NOTIFY YOU THAT CHRYSLER RECALL P43 SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONALITY LOSS IN THE DRIVER DOOR DUE TO WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IS A SHORT IN THE DRIVER DOOR WIRING HARNESS. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHORT VISUALLY, BUT KNOW ITS THERE FROM A MULTI METER TEST READING. THEY WANTED OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS DOOR HARNESS AND I TRULY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER P43 RECALL. THIS RECALL ONLY APPLYS TO 8 "KNOWN" CHRYSLER 200 LX MODELS BUT WHO IS TO SAY THE DEFECT COULDN'T BE PRESENT IN MORE? IT HAS PRESENTED ITSELF OBLIVIOUSLY IN MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FAILING TO REPLACE THIS HARNESS WILL RESULT IN FURTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURE INCLUDING AIRBAG MIS-OPERATION,. IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2017. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CALLED BAXTER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM AND ICALLEDA TOW TRUCK. LATER THAT DAY BAXTER CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS.THEY FIXED THE RECALLS AND MY CAR WAS GOOD FOR AWHILE. I THEN STARTED HAVING A ISSUE WHERE MY CAR WOULD JERK HARD WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. AFTER I START RESEARCHING MY MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR I START TO READ THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL BAXTER AGAIN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND EXPLAIN WHAT I READ TO THEM AND THEY CALL ME BACK AND NOW SAY IT'S MY BATTERY. I GET MY CAR BACK IT'S STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EXPECT NOW MY CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK WHEN I HAVE DROVE IT 1,000 MILES. I DID NOT WAIT 1,000 MILES BECAUSE I NANNY AND DRIVE PEOPLE'S CHILDREN IN MY CAR AND IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE AND MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS. I KEEP MAKING APPOINTMENTS AND FINALLY THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION SO THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. MY TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPS AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF ME WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I HAVE CALLED BAXTOR MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN PUT IN AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE CHRYSLER ASSOCIATION TOLD THEM TO NOT PERFORM ANYTHING ELSE ON MY CAR BECAUSE THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO DO THIS.

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL ALL OVER THE INTERNET SAYS THERE'S RECALLS CALL THE CHRYSLER STORE THEY TOLD ME NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME TRANSIT TOWN DODGE BUFFALO NEW YORK

CAR STALLS OR SHUTS DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP, WITH NO SIGNS OR WARNING. HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MOST RECENTLY APRIL 16, 2020. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 1/2018 I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WANTS TO STALL AS SOON AS I PRESS THE GAS AND PUTTERS ALONG UNTIL IT GETS ENOUGH ENERGY AND WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO GO SUCH AS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NORMALLY HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE MEDIUM TO GET ENOUGH SPEED TO MOVE INTO THE TRAFFIC OTHERWISE I'M BOUND TO GET REAR ENDED. THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION TO COME ON. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND TAKES ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO START BACK UP , UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE ( DASH, RADIO) DIM EXTREMELY LOW DURING DAYLIGHT UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND STILL CHARGED ME. WHEN THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED AND WERE MORE NOTICEABLE AND MORE OFTEN THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN WITH NO RESULTS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE JUST STAGGERS INSTEAD OF GAINING SPEED. *TR

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING SHIFTS IN TO NEUTRAL AND S DRIVE BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHENEVER I TAKE OFF ALSO STALLS WHEN STOPPING FOR LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS

THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURNS. IT WILL CUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT. IT STALLS WHEN TRYING TO START IT. MOSTLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS RUNNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PAID OVER $900 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXSITS

THE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED AROUND 8000 MILES. IT WAS TAKEN AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" BY THE DEALERSHIP A MULTITUDE OF TIMES, AND THE ICON WOULD COME BACK IN A WEEK. IT TURNS ON BOTH ON STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.
