WHEN I START THE CAR ON A "COLD" START - IT PULSES AND ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO DIE OUT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS FOR IT TO CATCH AND RUN NORMAL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF RIGHT NOW. NO TIMEFRAME FOR THE SOLUTION!! THIS IS NOT FAIR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW WITH 69 MILES ON IT. DROVE IT HOME WHICH IS ABOUT 40 MILES HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTS THIS JUNK. DEALER SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" AND MOST NEW CARS DO THIS. IT ALSO HAD A RUBBER BURN SMELL. THAT TOO WAS SAID TO BE "NORMAL". *TR

VEHICLE HAS NOISE AT STEERING ASSY. WHEN DRIVING .YOU COULD ALSO FEEL IT. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE TIE RODS. HOW CAN A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 6500 MILES ON IT HAVE BAD TIE-RODS? THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TO. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 11/2012. IT IS 2013 200S WITH THE V6 ENGINE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TORQUE PULL ON BOTH TAKE-OFF AND ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT IN A SHORT DRIVING DISTANCE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ONLY TO HAVE THEM SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 2000 MILES, IT NOW HAS 10,500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES THE PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DO KNOW THE TORQUE PULL ISSUE IS BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE LINE DESIGN, THE V6 SHOULD HAVE A LIMITED SLIP UNIT, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT NOW. THE OTHER ISSUES THEY CAN, BUT WON'T BECAUSE IT COSTS MONEY. CHRYSLER GOT MY MONEY BUT NEVER AGAIN. I'M GOING ELSEWHERE TO PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. *TR
