2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE INTERMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS AND RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS DURING MOTION OF THE VEHICLE IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY. CAN BE VERY NOTICEABLE DURING TURNING AND ADVANCING IN SPEED.

WAS HIT FROM THE BACK, AND BOTH HEAD REST DEOYED. HOW IS THIS SAFE? IT CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS THAN THE WRECK ALONG.

VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE. PRESSING ON BRAKES DID NOT HELP. LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY, AND EVEN ON CITY STREETS. WOULD REGAIN CONTROL AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, BUT THEN THE LIGHT WOULD TURN BACK ON AND CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-10 MPH, THE COOLANT FILLER NECK FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT FLUID LEAKED FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

PASSENGER HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHILE SLOWING TO ENTER A SERVICE STATION.

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 6TH GEAR TO 5TH AND BACK TO 6TH RAPIDLY. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF CRUISE CONTROL OR MANUAL. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. IT GOES INTO GEAR HARD THE OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR. WHEN I START TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. IT IS STUCK IN GEAR. I CAN PUT IT INTO MANUAL SHIFT AND IT WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER. SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND START IT BACK. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS MAYBE ONCE A MONTH. RECENTLY IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. THE THIRD ISSUE IS DOWNSHIFTING OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LET OFF THE GAS AND IT DOWN SHIFT HARD ENOUGH TO PULL YOUR BACK FROM THE SEAT. IT IS WORSE COASTING DOWN A STEP HILL WHEN IT DOWNSHIFT HARD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOUR TIMES SO FAR FOR THE SAME ISSUES FIRST 08/26/2015 SECOND 10/28/2015 THIRD 05/25/2016 FOURTH 09/17/2016 I HAVE ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER. BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER WILL TAKE A 6 MILE ROAD TEST AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE LAST APPOINTMENT THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OVER 50 MILES TO TRY TO DUPLICATE MY ISSUES. THEY NEVER TOOK THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT DROVE FINE. CHRYSLER OR THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT MADE AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TWO VIDEOS OF THAT THE CAR DOES ON THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WHILE IDLING AND SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURES PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A PIECE OF PAPER ON THE DASHBOARD WAS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE AND WAS INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S MANY SENSORS. THE FAILURES STILL PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20.

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR ME LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO, I WENT TO PUT GAS IN IT ON SATURDAY 09/10, GOT OUT AND NOTICED A SWEET BURNING SMELL, THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE. I WENT TO A STORE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET GOT OUT AND NOTICED THE SAME SMELL. I THEN REALIZED IT WAS MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO GO HOME(WHICH IS A SHORT DISTANCE), THE TEMP LIGHT CAME ON, THE CONTINUOUS RINGING STARTED(AS IF I WASN'T WEARING MY SEATBELT), OTHER LIGHTS PROCEEDED TO COME ON. WHEN I TURNED INTO MY SUBDIVISION, THE CAR BEGAN SMOKING. AS I TURNED ON MY STREET, IT DIDN'T WANT TO PULL AT ALL. I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, BUT JUST GOT A CALL TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW, AND IT WILL BE $3000 TO REPAIR. I'VE READ SIMILAR STORY'S ON THIS SITE FROM OTHER 2013 CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS, AND AM QUITE BOTHERED, BUT I'M ALSO WONDERING WHAT'S BEING DONE TO RECTIFY THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE AS OVERHEATING. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY HOWEVER, THE SEAT BELT WAS FASTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS ALSO A WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT MY SON AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THE BOTH HAD INJURIES. MY SON HAD NECK INJURY AND I FEEL THAT IT IS DUE TO THE HEADRESTS IN THE VEHICLE. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO. WE WERE AT A STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY 2 VEHICLES. THE HEADREST LITERALLY BLEW OPEN. PRIOR TO THIS THE WIPERS WOULD TURN ON, ANYTIME WE USED THE SIGNAL LIGHT.
