2011 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

A FOLLOW UP TO ADD ON TO MY INITIAL COMPLAINT. I HAVE A SCREENSHOT SHOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS ISSUE CAN BECOME IF NOT RESOLVED. MY WIPERS AND HORN ARE A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THEY AREN'T WORKING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. PLEASE ADVISE BEFORE ANOTHER CHRYSLER OWNER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND COULD POSSIBLE HARM THEMSELVES IN A CRASH OR OTHERS.

MY WIPERS HAVE STARTED TO NOT EXACTLY STOP WORKING BUT THAT STOP THEN START UP AGAIN WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN THEM ON AS IF THEY ARE GLITCHING. THEN MY HORN STOPPED WORKING SO I WENT TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED. THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE WAS NOT WORKING APPARENTLY, A $1300 FIX. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A PAIN. HAVE REPLACED PART AFTER PART. HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS AND TRULY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO IT BEING SUCH A DUMB THING. EVEN THE MECHANIC WAS LIKE THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE FIX FOR A HORN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN!!

THE CAR STALLS WHEN IT SLOWS DOWN OR COMES TO A STOP (FOR EXAMPLE AT A RED LIGHT). SO FAR, IT STARTS UP WITH NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF IT STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND DESPITE ATTEMPTING A VARIETY OF FIXES, SO FAR NOTHING HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

BOTH HEADREST DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE NOW OPENED BY THEMSELVES.THANK GOODNESS I'M SHORT OR I COULD OF HAD AN CONCUSSION. DON'T SEE A RECALL,BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE MAKER. WOULD LIKE TO GET FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT THEIR EXPENSE.

THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM KEEPS COMING ON AND THE BRAKES SQUEAL. I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT. IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE AS THE HE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANE AND LANDED IN A DITCH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRIOR TO THE COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JAMES COLLINS DOWNTOWN FORD LOUISVILLE (809 S 5TH ST, LOUISVILLE, KY 40203) WHERE THE FAILURE CAUSE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AS THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR HAS STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND HEATER DID NOT WORK BUT THAT HAS SINCE STARTED WORKING ON ITS OWN. NOW CAR OVERHEATED AND WHEN DRIVING IT SOUNDS AS IF WATER OR SOMETHING IS TRYING TO GO THROUGH PIPE BUT MAYBE ISNT ALSO STARTED TO LEAK ALL COOLANT. AND BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND REPLACED THERMOSTAT BUT THAT DIDNT FIX ISSUE.ALSO WHEN DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON DASH TURNED ON AND STARTED TO BEEP. WAS JUST ARRIVING AT A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT CAR DID NOT TURN ON. HAD A TOW TRUCK COME OUT AND THEY JUMP STARTED ME AND SAID SOMETHING WAS DRAINING MY BATTERY. ALSO WHEN PUMPING GAS IT CONSTANTLY STOPS AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING HANDLE OR MOVE IT AROUND.

PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED ( POPPED OPEN) BY ITSELF CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE ENGINE DIES WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. WILL NOT RESTART FOR 15-30 MINUTES. JUST STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT STOPS. HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY MANY MECHANICS. NO ERROR CODE IS DISPLAYED. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SENSORS REPLACED BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS HAS RESULTED IN A SAFETY RECALL BUT NOT THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.
