THEY REPLACED SA CLICKING BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR IN THE MORNING THERE WAS WARM AIR ON THE LEFT AND COOL AIR ON THE RIGHT' DEALER SAYS NEED A HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. THIS HAPPENED OVERNIGHT? RECALL ONAIRBAGS. NO AIRBAG LIGHT ON AT DEALER, THEY FLASHED THE TIPM AS PER RECALL, NOW AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CODE READS REPLACE OCCUPANT CONTROLE MODULE. THEY CLAIM THIS NOT ON THE RECALL,11V315000

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NOT PERFORMING THE WAY IT SHOULD. SOMETIMES MY CAR SHIFTS HARD AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT OUT UNTIL IT REACHES 5 OR 6000 RPMS WHICH IS ALMOST IN THE RED ZONE. WHEN GOING UP A HILL OR INCLINE IT HESITATES AND JERKS. I CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE CARS AHEAD OF MINE THAT WERE JUST SITTING THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON A CALL FROM CORPORATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. ALSO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ALMOST FOUR MONTHS NOW. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET. JUST RECENTLY THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. AN ONGOING PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE NOISE FROM THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN I AM BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX YET FOR THAT PROBLEM. AS OF THIS DAY, THERE STILL IS NO FIX FOR IT. I AM STILL DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT TO SIT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON REPAIRS. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT LOANER VEHICLES ANY MORE AT LEAST NOT IN ARKANSAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS NOT EMITTING HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE COOLING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SUDDENLY AND WITH OUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING IN LIGHT RAIN CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE ON ANY SPEED SETTING BUT HIGH. THEY ALSO WOULD NOT PARK WHEN SHUT OFF, WHICH NECESSITATED TIMING THE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL DEALER AS NEEDING A NEW TIPM. TOTAL COST $1638.50.

I PURCHASED A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 FROM CARMAX LOCATED IN MEMPHIS TENNESSE BACK IN JULY 6, 2015. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED IT WAS JUST A SMALL PROBLEM AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS FIXED. IN AUGUST I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ( PLEASE BE ADVISED I AM EMPLOYED AND I HAVE TO DRIVE FROM PINE BLUFF TO MEMPHIS) AT THAT TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT IT WAS SOME KIND OF FLUID AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THIS WAS ALL DONE DURING THE FACTORY WARRANTY. ON NOVEMBER 8, 2015 MY BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG AND WAS BARELY STOPPING I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND DEMANDED FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BACK TO FACTORY PROFECTION. MR. JOE BROWN ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BUT I ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS NEVER REPAIRED CORRECTLY UNDER FACTORY WARRENTY. I HAD TO PAY A 50.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE AND FIFTY TOWARDS A RENTAL CAR DEPOSIT. I WAS CALLED ON 11/13/2015 AND ADIVSED THAT MY CAR WAS READY. I COULDN'T PICK THE CAR UP UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING 11/14/2015. WHEN I CAME TO RETREVE MY CAR MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND NO SERVICE WORKER WAS THERE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. IN CONCLUSION MY BRAKES ARE STILL NOT WORKING AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME MY LIFE ON THIS MORNING 11/17/2015. THE BRAKES ARE WORSE. I AM IN TEARS BECAUSE I AM A RECENT GRADUATE AND I AM WORKING TO PAY BILLS AND STUDENT LOANS. THIS IS WHAT PLACE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN PROVERTY WHEN SOMEONE SALES YOU SOMETHING AND IT ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND YOU PAY FOR WARRENTY AND THAT DOESNT HELP NEITHER. PLEASE HELP.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. ONLY WIPE ON HIGH. TOOK INTO DEALER TO REPAIR, THEY REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, THEY THEN RAN CODES TO TELL ME IT IS THE TIPM. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER, PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED.

CAR DIES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DURING ANY TYPE DRIVING. OF COURSE, WHEN MOTOR DIES POWER STEERING IS LOST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE HEAVY AUSTIN TRAFFIC THAT I DRIVE IN. MAY JUST SHUT DOWN ON A MAJOR OVERPASS WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THIS VEHICLE PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THIS SHUT DOWN CAN HAPPEN AT 10 MPH OR AT 60 MPH OR ABOVE. I TRY TO BYPASS MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AUSTIN EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE SEVERAL MILES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO TRAVEL LIKE THIS. MY CAR ENGINE IS A 2.4L AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER'S 3.6 L ENGINE IN THE 200, BUT I BELIEVE THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO ALSO BE RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED, THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE WARNING INDICATORS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AFTER 20 MINUTES, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND A TIPM WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V282000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I GOT THE CODE READER AND SCANNED IT SAID IT WAS (DRIVER ACTIVE HEADREST CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT WHERE I INADVERTENTLY LISTED MY VEHICLE AS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. MY CAR IS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. COULD YOU CHANGE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT OF THIS SAME DATE TO REFLECT A 2012 CHRYSLER 200.
