2011 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR MAKING NOISES. KNOCKING SOUND. ALSO THE SOUND IS MAKING A SQUEAKY DOOR SOUND. THIS SOUND IS ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. PASSENGERS ARE VERY STARTLED WHEN IT MAKES A NOISE WHEN CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT.

NO HEAT COMING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE VENTS AND REDUCED HEAT COMING OUT OF DRIVER SIDE VENTS. I HAD THE SYSTEM REVERSE FLUSHED AND REPLACED WITH NEW COOLANT AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES REDUCED VISIBILITY DUE TO INEFFECTIVE DEFROSTING OF WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS.

HEATER CORE PLUGS FROM THE DEXCOOL BRAKING DOWN, THEN FINALLY STARTS TO LEAK CAUSING LACK OF HEAT, EVENTUALLY FOGGING THE WINDOWS SO YOU CAN'T SEE CAUSING MULTIPLE SAFETY HAZARDS. COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I SEE ON LINE! YOU DON'T REALIZE IN SUMMER WHEN YOU BUY THE CAR TILL YOU GO TO USE IT IN THE SPRING AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!

DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN MOTION, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP WHERE IT STARTED UPON ARRIVAL (APPROX. 1 HOUR). NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. RAN ENGINE SCAN AND NO CODES CAME UP. DIAGNOSTIC PROVIDED NO INFORMATION. CONDITION COULD NOT BE REPEATED. NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION OVER THE NEXT 2 MONTHS. SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY, SOME ON A ROAD. ALWAYS STARTS AGAIN AFTER 45 MINUTES. HAS BEEN TO MULTIPLE SHOPS WHERE NOTHING IS DIAGNOSED. PROBLEM PERSISTS TO THIS DAY. WE INSTALLED AN ENGINE SCANNER TO DETECT ANY CODES GIVEN WHEN ENGINE QUITE. CODES ARE AS FOLLOWS: ANTI LOCK BRAKES CODE U0401 - ACTIVE/MIL - IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM ECM/PCM AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CODE P061C ETC LEVEL 2 RPM PERFORMANCE

WHILE TRAVELING ON M59 IN OAKLAND COUNTY MY DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN AS STEERING WOULD NOT FUNCTION. MY CAR DAMAGE RENDERED IT A TOTAL LOSS AND CAUSED PHYSICAL INJURY TO ME. THE OAKLAND SHERIFF DEPT RESPONDED AND I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE TROY BEAUMONT HOSPITAL. THIS HAPPENED 10/10/2020. I REMAIN IN GREAT PAIN IN AREAS OF HEAD AND TORSO.

WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY DECELERATING OR GETTING READY TO STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED AND GETTING READY TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL STALL OR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, WILL BE COMPLETELY HOT, WILL TAKE ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES AND THEN WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED MY SON SAFETY ISSUES WHERE HE'S COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING ON A BUSY ROAD AND THEN HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO EITHER A PARKING LOT WITHOUT POWER STEERING (HARD TO DO BY HIMSELF AT 18 YO) OR INTO A DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT. NO LIGHTS COME ON EXCEPT ONCE WHEN THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE SLIGHTLY BEFORE EACH EPISODE. THE LAST EPISODE WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES. NOW NO LONGER DRIVING DUE TO SAFETY!!

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. JUST SHUTS DOWN. NO WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS. NO CODE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

AND EVERY TIME AFTER WE GOT IT HOME IT WOULD START UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. PLEASE HELP. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING
