2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 20-30 MINUTES) - WHEN MAKING TURNS OR TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS I START HEARING A KNOCKING / CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE SOUND MAKES ME VERY UNEASY AND IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COME APART. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM, AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS SOUND WHAT SO EVER IN ANY CAR! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND THAT THEIR ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ENGAGED, THE ILLUMINATION WAS EXTREMELY DIM. THE FAILURE DISTORTED THE VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN ORDER TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HIGH BEAMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE THE BULBS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

ON OCTOBER 28TH, 2014 I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WITH COMPLAINTS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE ALARM WAS PERFORMING WITH UNPREDICTABLE TENDENCIES AND WAS NOT DISARMING IN ORDER TO ENTER THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING A RENTAL FOR TWO WEEKS THAT CAME OUT OF MY POCKET THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO FIX IT.I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK KNOWING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED.THE RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PROGRESSED AND THE CAR IGNITION BEGAN HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES. ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED TO 'OFF ' THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD SAY 'KEY IN IGNITION' ALTHOUGH THE KEY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN AND HOLD THE KEY TO THE 'ON' POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER. ON DECEMBER 15TH, 2014 I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER AT ALL.I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE THE SOUNDS AS IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER AT LEAST 10 TIMES WHILE THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION. ON JANUARY 15TH, 2015 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID THAT HE WAS ADVISED BY MY CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO CALL AND TELL ME THAT I HAD TO COME AND PICK UP MY CAR ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), THE BATTERY, AND THE CLOCK THAT FLICKERS YET THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES REPEATED EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIPM. HE CONTINUED TO SAY THAT THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS STILL WITHIN THE FORMAL LEMON LAW RIGHTS PERIOD 'AND I AM ASKING CHRYSLER FOR APPROPRIATE ACTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1 GEAR TO THE OTHER THERE IS A NOISE AND A JERK. THE RPM ALSO GOES UP VERY HIGH WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AS IF IT IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. IT WON'T SHIFT UNTIL I STOP ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE 1ST TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND A FLASH WAS SENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK BACK A 2ND TIME AND TOLD THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS MODEL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CAN IMAGINE THE PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE LATER. THEN TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IS DISCOURAGING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LEAVING WORK, I GOT UP TO ROUGHLY 55MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 30K MILES SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. NO CHECK ENGINE OR CHECK BATTERY LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT NEARLY EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 55 TO 0 AND I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT SINCE I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON AND WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED I HAD NOT LEFT THE RIGHT LANE YET. HAD I BEEN ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE HIGHWAY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE IT DID NOT END IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH THAT IT MUST HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY WIFE OR INFANT CHILD IN TO A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUT OFF AT A SPEED OF 55MPH. *TR

THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INFORM WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. DJR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PRESSED. AFTER THAT 1ST INCIDENT IT'S HAPPENED MORE OFTEN THAN NOT AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE THINKING THAT WE NEED TO PULL OVER WHEN WE DON'T. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS, BUT IT'S A NEW VEHICLE AND IF THIS CONTINUES IT'S GOING TO CAUSE ME POSSIBLY GETTING A TICKET WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHICH IS SOMETHING I'M GOING TO PURSUE CHRYSLER PAYING BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. *TR

NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 I NOTICED THAT EVERY FEW DAYS I HAD TO GET AIR IN MY TIRE. WHEN I HAD MY VERY FIRST SERVICE I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND PUT AIR IN THEM. THEN IT WAS THE SAME EVERY FEW DAYS PUT AIR IN TIRE. WELL ON NEXT SERVICE IT WAS THE SAME OLD THING NOTHING WRONG PUT AIR IN TIRES THIS JUST KEEPS GOING ON. WELL WHEN IT WAS TIME TO ROTATE TIRES THEN THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE WORSE. HAD TO GO FROM EVERY FEW DAYS TO EVERY OTHER DAYS AT NEXT SERVICE GOT THE SAME STATEMENT NOTHING WRONG. NOW ITS GOT TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PUT AIR EVERYDAY AND NOT JUST ONE TIRE BUT ALL OF THEM. I JUST NOW GOT TO 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR. ALSO THEY SAID AND TRIED TO TALK ME INTO GETTING NITROGEN PUT IN WHICH COST MONEY AND IF YOUR ON THE ROAD AND YOUR TIRE GOES LOW YOU CAN'T PUT AIR IN A NITROGEN TIRE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE TIRES KEEP LOOSING AIR BUT THIS IS DARN RIDICULOUS. ALSO LIKE ANOTHER PERSON REPORTED QUITE SOME TIME AGO MY BRAKES MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN BACKING UP. *TR
