2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY. THE RPMS RUN HIGH AND MANY TIMES DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5 GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER HAVE BEEN TOLD "THAT IS HOW THIS CAR DRIVES", "IT IS OK TO RED LINE YOUR CAR". AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THE DEALERSHIP GM FINALLY AGREED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THE "FLASHED" MY CAR. AFTER THAT I WAS GETTING 30 MPG HIGHWAY AND IT WAS SHIFTING WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS. LESS THEN 5,000 MILES LATER IT IS BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT IS FINE, YET I AM AVERAGING ON THE INTERSTATE 22 - 25 MPGS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE I AM RECEIVING. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP. AT ONE POINT IT STALL GOING ABOUT 20MPG. THIS IS REALLY UNSAFE, WITH NO SIGNS IT JUST STALLS. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR SEPTEMBER 14 2013. WITH IN A WEEK IT WAS IN THE SHOP DUE TO ALIGNMENT ISSUES AND OTHER COSMETIC ISSUES, FIXED COSMETIC ISSUES AND DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR WITH IN 4 DAYS THE ALIGNMENT WENT OUT AGAIN WAS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AND UNDERWENT ANOTHER ALIGNMENT HAD THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AGAIN ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AGAIN AND DURING A DRIVE TO MICHIGAN THE FLOOR GOT HOT. THE NEXT DAY THE FLOOR GOT HOT AGAIN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN. AFTER ANOTHER 5 DAYS THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT AGAIN. THEY BUT IT ON THE ROAD FORCE AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS FIXED. NOW MY CAR SHAKES, THE ENGINEER AT CHRYSLER SAID ITS THE TIRES, REPLACED TIRED AND IT STILL SHAKES. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND IS A NIGHTMARE ON TRYING TO GET THEM TO GET ME A NEW CAR. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR

WE TEST DROVE A DIFFERENT CAR THAN THE ONE WE TOOK DELIVERY ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. WE TOOK DELIVERY ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TROUBLE SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. WHEN STARTING FROM A SLOW ROLL OR A DEAD STOP WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WE RETURNED THIS CAR AND IT WAS SERVICED. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE. IT WAS IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLED. SECONDLY WHEN DRIVING ON A LESS THAN PERFECT ROAD THE DRIVER CONTINUALLY FEELS LIKE A LOSS OF CONTROL COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR THE SNOW HERE IN MICHIGAN. RECENTLY WE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR HAS TORQUE PULL AND IT'S NORMAL. I ASKED ABOUT THE WONDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE SERVICE TECH DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG. NOTE THE ROAD IT WAS DROVE ON IS LESS THAN FIVE OLD CONCRETE. THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES TWO HANDS ALL THE TIME. WE FEEL AS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CHRYSLER 2013 200 AND IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE LOOKED IN SEVERAL FORUMS AND HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREAT. *TR

ON 10/25/2013, WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE FROM THE PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SURGED IN REVERSE AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM SURGING IN REVERSE, THIS IS WITHOUT ACCELERATION. STOPPED THE CAR, PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND THE SURGING IN REVERSE STOPPED. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE CAR SURGED AGAIN, AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING FORWARD. PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE STOP LIGHT TURNED GREEN, TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN, AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED AGAIN. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 10/28/2013 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM STUDIED. THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE HAD A TSB 18-029-13 THAT WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF INVOLVING POWER TRAIN ISSUES WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY UPDATED PCM TRANS FLASH AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOW BE RESOLVED. WILL WAIT AND SEE IF THIS IS THE CASE. THE VEHICLE HAS 5,157 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED 07/22/2013. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW CRUISE CONTROL TO BE SET. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MANUALLY OPERATE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKING FUNCTION. IT TOOK SEVERAL BRAKING ATTEMPTS TO DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED AND REENTERED HIGHWAY THEN VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SEEM TO SHIFT INTO GEARS AND "ROARED" ALLOWING TACHOMETER TO REACH INTO HIGH 5,500+ RANGE. PULLED OVER AGAIN, SHUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, REENTERED HIGHWAY AND IT OPERATED SUFFICIENTLY TO GET TO DEALER. AFTER DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC, THEY DISCOVERED SPEED CONTROL SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. CAR NOW OPERATES PROPERLY SINCE SWITCH REPLACEMENT AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEM. ALSO, TRANSMISSION NOW SHIFTS AT PROPER LEVELS AND GAS MILEAGE HAS RETURNED TO ORIGINAL HIGHER LEVEL. *TR
