I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200, IT HAS ROUGHLY 70,000 MILES, AS I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 40-50 MPH. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T PULL OVER BECAUSE OF IT BEING OVER A BRIDGE. WHEN I WENT TO PULL OVER THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE 3RD OR 4TH TRY. THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AS I AM READING MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE & YEAR.

LAST NIGHT MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE IT HOME JUST FINE AND THE LIGHT WAS ONLY ON FOR A FEW SECS. THIS MORNING I TURNED THE CORNER ON A STREET MY CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 20 MPH. THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A POPULAR (NOT POPULAR) PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS APPROX. 78,000 MILES. IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER YET.

I HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, AIR FILTER& PCV VALVE AT 74,516 MILES. IS THIS TYPICAL WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE COST IS 823.19 AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

THE CARS AUTOMATIC LOCK SYSTEM WAITS UNTIL THE CAR IS IN MOTION BEFORE LOCKING. IF YOU HAVE YOUR ARM UP ON THE WINDOW IT PINCHES YOUR ARM AND LEAVES A PAINFUL MARK.

ON THE EVENING OF MAY 3RD, 2016 I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE AFTER WORK TO FIND THAT THE DRIVER HEAD RESTRAINT HAD BEEN DEPLOYED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. EARLIER THAT DAY I WENT TO THE BANK ALL WAS WELL THE HEAD RESTRAINT WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. AT APPROXIMATELY 5:05PM I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE TO HEAD HOME AND NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT REST MY HEAD AS I DO ON A DAILY BASIS ON MY DRIVE HOME. MY CONCERNS ARE THAT IF I WERE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY AND IT UNEXPECTEDLY DEPLOYED POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE DUE TO A CHAIN REACTION. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER. FILED A COMPLAINT, ISSUED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE CONTACTING ME TO INVESTIGATE WITH A POSSIBLE RESOLUTION. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED AS OF 5/9/2016. I ALSO FOLLOWED UP ON THE CASE FRIDAY MAY 6TH . THE CASE NUMBER HAD NOT BEEN ASSIGNED. I'M LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WHAT IF ANYTHING WOULD BE MY OPTIONS. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD.

STARTING OVER 1 YEAR AGO, MY CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES AND MORE DRASTICALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTS VIBRATING AND SHAKING WHEN OVER 55 MPH. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 10 TIMES FOR ALIGNMENTS, NEW STRUTS, NEW TIE RODS, NEW TIRES, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIXES. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND SOME OF THESE ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEAR CRASHING DUE TO THE EXTREME PULL TO THE RIGHT. I JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY ADJUSTED THE CAMBERS AND ALIGNED IT TO PULL TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE THE RIGHT PULL, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING NORMAL UNTIL I SLOW DOWN OR APPLY BRAKES. IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL ON A COMPLETE STOP AND IT TURNS BACK ON.
