2012 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PAINT BUBBLING AND RUST ON VEHICLE. *TGW THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE PAINT ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WAS BUBBLING, INDICATING RUST. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE DEALER STATED IT APPEARED THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PAINTED. CHRYSLER INSTRUCTED THE CONSUMER TO SEND PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER LOOKING AT THE PICTURES, CHRYSLER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *JB

WITHIN 2 DAYS OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, REAR BRAKES WERE SQUEALING LIKE THEY WOULD DO IF THEY WERE DUE TO BE REPLACED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED THEM AND TOLD ME "ITS JUST RUST FROM SITTING ON THE LOT AND IT WILL CLEAR UP AFTER YOU DRIVE IT A WHILE", IT CONTINUED AND A COUPLE MONTHS FOLLOWING THE FIRST VISIT I RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE AND TOLD THEM IT STILL WAS MAKING THE NOISE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AGAIN AND SAID "OH, ITS JUST DUST ON THE BRAKES AND IF YOU STEP ON YOUR BRAKES HARD AT ABOUT 40 MPH THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM". HERE WE ARE 2 YEARS LATER AND THE REAR BRAKES STILL MAKE THE SQUEALING NOISE. ABOUT JUNE/JULY OF THIS YEAR TIMEFRAME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT SPOTS ON THE HOOD AND GRILL OF THE VEHICLE HAS THE PAINT "BLISTERING" AND RUST UNDERNEATH. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CALL ME AND TELL ME WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT SO I CALLED THEM ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE WARRANTY GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO "SEND A WHOLE NEW HOOD" WHICH I GUESS DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME BUT WHATEVER. TO DATE I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE DEALERSHIP ANY FURTHER ON THIS MATTER AND THE VEHICLE IS NEARING THE LIMITS ON THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IS JOHN HIRSCH'S MOTORS IN CAMBRIDGE, MN. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 TOURING V6 BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TAKING THE OFF RAMP I ENGAGE MY BRAKES BEFORE I GET TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ALSO ENGAGING MY TURN SIGNAL. AS SOON AS THE TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED ALL MY LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON THIS INCLUDED THE DASH LIGHTS, STEREO AND THE CENTER CONSOLE EVERYTHING EXCEPT MY HEADLIGHT FLICKER. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE LIGHTS HAVE TOTALLY WENT OFF AND WOULD ONLY COME BACK ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS DISENGAGED. I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO TESTED MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ALSO CHECKING ALL THE FUSES. HE WAS AT A LOSE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE [XXX] WAS DOING THIS. I ALSO CONTACT THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE VEHICLE AND GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND STATING THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY OTHER VEHICLES DOING THIS AND DISMISSED MY WORRIES WITH SAYING ITS IS YOUR BATTERY AND OR ALTERNATOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THAT MORNING INTO WORK WHEN MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CALL AROUND TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. LATER THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR COMPLETE STOPPED WORKING AND WAS "FREAKING OUT" ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER COMING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS NOT MY BATTERY THAT DIED, IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR THAT STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE NOT WANTING TO START UP. *TR
