2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE AUTOMOBILE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, HORN BLOWS AT ANYTIME, PAINT CHIPPING ON HOOD

I WAS PROCEEDING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT I WAS PRESSING THE GAS, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I LOOKED DOWN AND TWO LIGHTS WERE ON, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND THE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 9/9/2015 USED. ANOTHER TIME BEFORE THAT, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY RADIO POWERS OFF AND WHERE MY MILEAGE IS IT SAYS NO FUSE. WHEN I GOT HOME I TRIED TO LOCK MY CAR WITH THE KEYPAD, BUT I COULDN'T. I HAD TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. I MEAN I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I HAD IT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN THE DARK WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON LOW BEAM THERE IS NO GRADUAL FALLING OFF OF THE LIGHT. THEY LIGHT UP THE ROAD FOR A FEW YARDS AHEAD AND THE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ENDS. IT IS LIKE THERE IS A WALL THAT STOPS THE LIGHT ABRUPTLY, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER DARK AND MY HUSBAND DOES ALSO. ADJUSTING LIGHTS DOES NOT HELP IT IS THE DESIGN. ON OCT 14, 2015 A DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON I NEVER SAW HER IN THE ROAD.

CONTINUES TO HAVE SUSPENSION PROBLEM; NOISE AND FAILURE OF CONTROL ARMS, LEAKING OF WATER FROM HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ROUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFT CHANGE. HORRIBLE CAR, DON'T BOTHER WITH SAME, TO MANY MECHANIC VISITS...

WHEN I GO TO USE THE CRUSE CONTROL IT DOESN'T WORK BUT WHEN I HONK THE HORN THE CRUSE COME'S ON AND WORKS.

I PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2014, ON 2/24/2015. THE YEAR MAKE OF THE VEHICAL IS 2014 ON THE INSIDE STICKER, BUT THE MODEL # OF THE ENGINE IS 2013. THE VEHICAL WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCK, CLUNKING SOUND AND IT HESITATED TO START. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK, OR ENGINE DAMAGE HAD OCCURED. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCATIONS WITHIN 6 MONTHS. IN MORE THAN 5 OCCATIONS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO SPEED UP, OR TO CHANGE LANES THE VECHICAL ACCELERATING IS STUCK AND KEEPS ACCELERATIMG IN AN UPWARD RHYTHEM. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL DURING TIME THE VEHICAL IS ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED AT HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICAL, HONDA THIS DAY HAD THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY CHRYSLER TOURING 200, 2013 MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH THE VEHICAL, AND NO ADDITIONAL SERVICE NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH WITH SAFECAR.GOV READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS FOR THE CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2013. I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN MORE COURTEOUS, OR HELPFUL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISK, AND PROBLEMS DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CHRYSLER TOURING 200 2013. I WAS TURNED AWAY JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER CUSTOMERS, BUT WHAT IF MY CAR STALLS ON THE FREEWAY, THAN WHAT? MY CAR IS A POTENTIAL DANGER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I FEAR I WILL BE A VICTUM OF THE "LEMON LAW."
