I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 NEW. NOW HAVING HEATING ISSUE, HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN A NORTHEAST AND IT'S VERY COLD. I CAN'T GET THE CAR WARM ENOUGH FOR WINDSHIELD TO HEAT ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT DOESN'T ICE UP. THIS COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD WHEN YOUR VISION IS RESTRICTED BECAUSE YOU CANT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO REPAIR. ALSO MY KIDS ARE FREEZING IN THE BACK SEAT. HOW MANY HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS DESIGN ISSUE AND OR TO HAVE A FACTORY RECALL DONE? OR KIDS WITH HYPOTHERMIA?

CHRYSLER 200 HEATING ISSUE, HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE AND IN THE WINTER ESPECIALLY DURING STORMS THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS TO BE HEATED ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT DOESN'T ICE UP. THIS COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD WHEN YOUR VISION IS RESTRICTED BECAUSE YOU CANT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO REPAIR. HOW MANY HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BECOME A DESIGN ISSUE AND HAVE A FACTORY RECALL DONE. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN TO US YET BUT TODAY IS THE FIRST STORM OF THE SEASON

I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER 200, THE ENGINE STOPS/FAILS ABOUT EVERY TWO MONTHS WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAN STOP ANYWHERE AND THEY MIGHT REAR END THE CAR OR SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THEY CHANGED THE PCM. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I TOOK THE CAR THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND GAVE IT TO ME AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE 4TH TIME WHEN I TOOK THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. WELL ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM TIRED OF THEM NOT FINDING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT I SPEAK FOR MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS WHEN I SAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE WHOLE CHRYSLER GROUP, ESPECIALLY TO THE 200, WHICH HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NONE ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE SOLUTION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MOPAR MECHANICS NOT FINDING ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PCM, COMPUTER, OR ENGINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE 6.28.12 MILEAGE CURRENTLY 41,145 AS OF 12.21.15. SEAT BELT FRONT, DRIVER'S SIDE SLACKENED AND NO LONGER RESTRAINS DRIVER. BELT WILL NOT "LOCK" WHEN VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. ALSO DOES NOT RETRACT ANY LONGER, THUS MAKING IT NON-FUNCTIONAL. DEALER SAYS IT WILL NOT REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED 41 MONTHS AGO AND HAS 5,100 MILES BEYOND STANDARD WARRANTY. AS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT, AND RESEARCH ON INTERNET STATES, IT SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR TEN YEARS, 100K MILES.

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER CROSSING A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. ( PRIOR TO THIS I WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN AND I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. ) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I DID NOT INITIALLY TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE I RETURNED TO IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80.000 MILES.
