2013 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

ENGINE MISFIRES AND STALLS AT START UP AND STALL AT STOP SIGNS. MANUFACTURED DATE 09-28-2012 AS OF JULY 2 2013 CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TELL US THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH WITHOUT A SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. *TR

THE HEADLAMPS ON THIS VEHICLE, ON LOW BEAM, PROJECT LIGHT THAT IS INADEQUATE FOR SPEEDS ABOVE 30-35 MPH, ESPECIALLY ON RURAL ROADS. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT SEE MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 40 YARDS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. *TR

THE HEADLAMPS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, YOU CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT, I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR VISIBILITY. *TR

HEADLAMPS ARE NOT VERY GOOD ON THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD THE HEADLAMPS ADJUSTED BY THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY DID NOT IMPROVE, WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE AS A "SHUTTER" ON THE HEADLAMP. THIS GOES DOWN ON LOW BEAMS AND UP ON HIGH BEAMS. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT SHINE DOWN THE ROAD, AND CLEARLY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. THIS IS A HUGE DANGER ISSUE, THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING...SORRY, NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 200 IN DECEMBER 2012. STARTING IN JANUARY, THE CAR IDLES VERY STRANGELY. WHEN I START THE CAR THE ENGINE RATTLES AS IF IT DOES NOT WANT TO START. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED AS IF THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND EVERY CAR SQUEAKS. LASTLY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING THE EVENING TIME BECAUSE OF THE LOW LIGHTING. I DO NOT BELIEVE I WILL EVER BY CHRYSLER AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR RUNS AS IF IT 60,000 MILES OLD. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ANY MOMENT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD. *TR

I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 11/12, IT HAS 2810 MILES ON IT AND IS FALLING APART. I TOOK IN TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING AND THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE SCUFFED AND NOW THE RACK N PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ON TUESDAY. THE CAR SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS 300,000 MILES INSTEAD OF LESS THAN 3000. THE TAPPETS ARE RATTLING WHEN IT IDLES AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLAMS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THIS JUST STARTED WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM HAVING IT IN THE SHOP. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND WHEN THIS ONE IS PAID FOR IN 2015 I WILL GET TRADE IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE, IN MY OPINION. I HAD PLANNED ON GIVING IT TO MY SON BUT I DO NOT WISH HIM TO BE HURT IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT HAD MECHANICAL WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOT REPORTING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY DID LISTEN TO ME AND FIXED SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH PARTS THEY HAD IN STOCK, BUT HAD TO ORDER THE RACK N PINION AS TO REPLACE IT ON TUESDAY. I FEEL THESE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A CAR OWNER IS HURT OR KILLED. I WILL BE CONTACTING SOMEONE POSSIBLY THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION BOARD ABOUT THESE ISSUES SO THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED OR IT CAN BE NOTED AND KEPT ON FILE FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS ON MY BRAND-NEW 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED SPORT; IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF "SHUTTER" WHICH LIMITS THE FORWARD VISIBILITY OF THE LOW-BEAMS. AS A RESULT, ANY TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, I.E. ABOVE 35 MPH, AT NIGHT, YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO SEE, AND "OVERDRIVING" THE HEADLIGHTS. FORGET ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC, WITH CARS APPROACHING, QUITE LITERALLY, YOU CANNOT SEE 40 YARDS. IF A PEDESTRIAN DARTS OUT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WELL ENOUGH TO REACT. IN MY AREA, THERE ARE A GREAT MANY DEER; IF I CANNOT LET CARS AROUND ME, SO I AM ABLE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IN TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE EQUIPPED DRIVING LAMPS ON, YOU STILL CANNOT SEE FURTHER. THE DRIVING LAMPS SPREAD TO THE SIDES, BUT NOT EVEN AS FAR AS HALF OF THE HEADLAMP DISTANCE. THE CAR IS WONDERFUL OTHERWISE; BUT I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH IT. I HAVE 20/20 VISION WITH ABOVE AVERAGE NIGHT VISION, AND I STILL HAVE DIFFICULTY; MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND WILL NOT AT NIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE CROSSED THREE BUSY HIGHWAY LANES. IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING HE HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL GEAR AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED HIM THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
