2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

CHUNKING AND SNAPPING PROBLEM IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX OR TIE ROD ENDS. I'VE HAD IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER ON AUG. 16TH. 2015 AND THEY COULDN'T FINE IT. BUT WHEN I WENT ON THE WEB THERE I FOUND HUNDREDS ON COMPLAINTS. I HAD A LIVE CHAT WITH THE NHTSA.GOV AND THIS PROBLEM WAS EVEN ON THE 2011 CHRYSLER 200.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH OUT 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF...THEY ALL COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HAD HE NOT MANAGE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD...TOOK A TRIP TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO COLLEGE 2 HOURS AWAY AND THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING...BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION I HAVE TO STOP DRIVING MY CAR AND THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND WE HAVE SIT FOR AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR TO 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS ACTIVATED, THEN THE HEADLIGHT WAS ABLE TO FUNCTION AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,730.

ON APPROXIMATELY 7/14/15, UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CHRYSLER 200 HESITATED ON TAKE OFF. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWLY TRY ACCELERATING AGAIN, STILL WITH HESITATION, BUT FINALLY TAKING OFF. THERE WAS SLIGHT HESITATION AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING, THEN THE FUEL SEEMED TO CATCH UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY SINCE 7/14/15. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/23/15 AS IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THAT "NO CODES" SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO EFFECT THE ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM AND SPEED CONTROL. I WAS VERY CONCERNED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED UNTIL THIS PROBLEMS IS RESOLVED. I INTEND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

WE FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. WILL TAKE TO DEALER WHEN THEY OPEN TOMORROW TO HAVE DIAGNOSED. CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO PAUL, WHO STATED THAT WE NEED TO CALL BACK AFTER THE DEALER HAS A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER # 1-800-247-9753 PREVIOUS COMPLAINT LISTED BELOW: DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 07/28/2013 COMPONENT(S): POWER TRAIN DATE OF INCIDENT: 07/26/2013 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10532198 ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLAINT EXPAND DETAILS CLOSE 0 ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS CRASH:NO FIRE:NO NUMBER OF INJURIES:0 NUMBER OF DEATHS:0 MANUFACTURER: CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 1C3CCBBBXDN... SUMMARY: I STARTED THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO "DRIVE". WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I CHECKED THE MILEAGE ON OUR NEW CAR AND IT READ 139 MILES. I COULD FEEL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGE THEN I FELT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A SECOND ENGAGEMENT BEFORE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. AS SOON AS I BEGAN DRIVING I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST (1ST) GEAR. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHIFTED THROUGH PARK, NEUTRAL AND MANUAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO FREE UP THE TRANSMISSION BUT WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT STILL WOULD NOT TRANSITION OUT OF FIRST (1ST) GEAR EVEN WHEN PUT IN THE MANUAL SHIFT MODE. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS NOT SHIFTING BUT STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A CODE INDICATING ANY PROBLEM. THEY RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR UPDATED 10/01/15*LJ UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN

I AM WRITING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF A DEAL WITH MY 2013 CHYSLER 200 BOUGHT IN 8/2013. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT TO DO A TRADE IN FOR A 2015 AND WAS TOLD BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER IN AVONDALE, AZ THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A CERTAIN SERIAL NUMBER AND SO IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH CHRYSLER DUE TO A DROP IN BLUE BOOK VALUE SOON AFTER I PAID FULL PURCHASE PRICE AT THAT TIME OF $19,000. WITH ALL GAP INSURANCE ETC. I PAID $27,000 FOR THIS CAR. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CAR HAS THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF AND DROPPED THE VALUE DOWN SO LOW IT IS NOT EVEN TRADEABLE OR BUY BACK VALUE IS SO LOW EVEN CHRYSLER WONT TAKE IT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SITUATION. I AM A FORD CAR PERSON AND I HAVE GIVEN CHRYSLER A CHANCE FOR THE LAST 8 EIGHT YEARS AND WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER UP UNTIL THIS POINT WHERE I AM STUCK WITH A 2013 CAR THAT IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH THE VERY COMPANY THAT MADE IT. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MONEY NOR DOES THE BANK WHO LOANED ME THE MONEY FOR IT, WANT TO LOSE ON THE TRANSACTION OF THIS CAR. I WILL GO BACK TO BUYING FORDS ASAP IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I WANT THE MONEY PAID BACK FOR THIS 2013 CAR AND SENT TO THE BANK FOR PAYMENT. CHRYSLER CAN SEND ME A LETTER OF WHERE TO RETURN THIS CAR. THAT IS ONLY FAIR, SINCE IT IS NOT TRADEABLE AT ANY TIME WITH CHRYSLER. I WILL GO TO THE MEDIA HERE IN AZ IMMEDIATELY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND EXPECT A PHONE CALL FROM THE MEDIA. YOU MAY GIVE THIS E-MAIL TO THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CHRYSLER PRESIDENT HIMSELF HOW CHRYSLER CAN DO THIS TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. THIS IS CONSIDER A LEMON CAR AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT SELLING LEMONS IN THE WHOLE YEAR OF 2013.

THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BUT I DO OWN THE CAR NOW THAT IT HAPPENED TO. PASSENGER HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED, DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO BUY A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT SO THERE LOOKING FOR A JUNK YARD ONE. MY QUESTION IS THAT I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A LEASED VEHICLE IN OKLAHOMA WHY WASN'T THIS FIXED THERE?! IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD! ITS DESTRACTING AS IM LOOKING OR TRYING TO SEE OUT THE RD SIDE OF MY CAR TO CHANGE LANES. PLUS ITS JUST UGLY ALL SPLIT OPEN LIKE THAT. PLUS I ONLY GOT ONE KEYFOB FOR BEING A LEASE IT SURE WASN'T CARED FOR LIKE I THOUGHT. COULD THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE HEADREST EXPLODING? I ASKED BUT THEY SAID NO. HOW CAN I FIND OUT? .ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. SINCERELY, [XXX] [XXX] PS THE DATE OF INCIDENT IS WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR & NOTICED IT WAS ASKED FOR REPLACEMENT.
