VEHICLE HASSTARTED STALLING IF I DO NOT LET IT RUN FOR 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND BATTRY CHECKED. EVERYONE SAYS THEY ARE FINE. AFTER MY BATTERY DIED FROM THE COLD AND MY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND SEE EVERYONE ELSE HAS AS WELL. I WANT A RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY ASS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY AS I AM ACCELERATING TO TURN CORNERS OR GO AT LIGHTS WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 2015 IN MARCH 2016. ODOMETER READ 28350. OCTOBER 2017 HIT A BUMP GOING TO WORK, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON. HAD A LITTLE ANXIETY BUT W JUST THE RIGHT BUMPS LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL FEB OF 2020 WHEN I SEND THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE A THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED AS WELL AS THAT DASH WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES AND GOES. MECHANIC REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING IS UNDER RECALL AND CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THAT. OK. I MAKE AN APPT AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GRESHAM OREGON AND THEY TELL ME AFTER A 4 HR DIAGNOSTIC THAT THE AIRBAG SAFETY HARNESSES UNDER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT I NEED TO REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST WILL BE $2705. HELLO CHRYSLER??? THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM OR AT LEAST MY SOLE PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT WHICH TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO KICK IN. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK. I WILL LET IT RUN FOR A MINUTE AND THEN DRIVE OFF BUT IT WILL STILL STALL ONCE I PULL UP TO THE STOP SIGN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I AM AFRAID IT MAY STALL AND I MAY GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE FOR A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ON OUT THERE. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT THE NOTHING SHOWS ANYTHING WRONG.

MY CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL RECENTLY. IT IS USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR DECELERATING ALTHOUGH IT IS ALSO WHILE IN COMPLETE MOTION BUT COASTING. THERE IS NO WARNING SOUND, LIGHTS OR INDICATION. ONE MUST FIND A WAY TO GET OFF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE). THE CAR DOES NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY. THE ONLY LIGHT ON DURING THIS TIME IS THE BATTERY LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING AND THE 'START' BUTTON SHOWS THE CAR IS IN THE 'RUN' POSITION. POWER STEERING IS ALSO LOST DURING THIS TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

INTERMITTENT TROUBLE BREAKING. SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GETS STIFF, SOMETIMES THE PEDAL CLICKS WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE, SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL IS GOING TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR OR BREAK OFF AND ALSO FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN (STEERING WHEEL AND AXLE CONNECTING THE FRONTT TIRES IS GOING TO BREAK! ALSO FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SINKING SOMETIMES AND THAT I CAN'T STOP AND WILL CRASH!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT HAS THROWN SOME SERV AWD CODE TO ME TWICE NOW WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE BUT THEN GOES OUT AND NO CODES ARE ABLE TO BE READ BUT THIS HAPPENS CONCURRENTLY WITH SUDDEN BRAKING ISSUES IT SEEMS LIKE! HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY BUT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND HAS VARIED IN CONDITIONS AS TO WHEN THE PROBLEM FLARED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RODE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE BENCHMARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE LOCATED AT (1837 GRANTS MILL RD, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35210 (205) 957-1313) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FRIDAY MORNING ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET THAT NAVIGATES THROUGH DOWNTOWN WHERE I WORK AT. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35MPH. AS I WAS CONTINUING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR SHUT OFF MID DRIVE . I LOST CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AS WELL AS MY BREAKS. A CAR THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME DUE TO THE LACK OF WARNING FOR THE ABRUPT STOP . THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, GOING FROM 35 MPH TO 0 MPH , WITH NO CONTROL OF THE WHEEL OR BREAKS , I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LET THE CAR COAST AND WAVE MY HANDS OUT THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO SIGNAL CARS BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT HIT ME. MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHERE I BLOCKED BUSY TRAFFIC FOR OVER 45 MINUTES WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK I HAD TO CALL . THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP WHEN I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART IT AS THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH BLINKING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK , WHICH I COULDN'T BECAUSE THE GEARS LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T MOVE. AS A CONSUMER THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'S UNSAFE . I WAS 1 HOUR LATE TO WORK AND I TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR . I LOVED MY CHRYSLER AND I'M VERY SAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CHRYSLER 200, THINGS LIKE THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE SEEM VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.
