2012 CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE DIES WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING. RESTARTS AFTER 45 TO 60 MIN. CAR DIES ANYTIME, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON 2 OCCASIONS - NO POWER STEERING, VERY HARD BRAKEING AND NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. DIED IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC

THE CAR CONSISTENTLY STALLS OUT AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, IF NOT MORE. IT ALSO HONKS ON ITS OWN DURING THAT TIME. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG

HEAD REST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN. LOOKS LIKE THE PEACE OF PLASTIC THAT HELD THE HEAD REST TOGETHER BROKE. THIS WAS PLASTIC ON METAL ROD. AT THE TIME WHEN THIS HAPPEN NO ONE WAS SITTING ON THE SIT. WE WOULD OF HAD A VERY BAD HEAD INJURY IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT STARTED WITH THE PRIOR OWNER OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE CONNECTING RODS IN THE ENGINE ARE FAILING THE HAZARD SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK I NOTICED ATLEAST THE CONNECTING ROD WAS A SAFETY RECALL AND VIN SPECIFIC IT WAS NOTICED WHEN THE CAM SHAFT STARTED MAKING NOISE DUE TO DEBRIS

MY ABS LIGHT HAS TURNED ON.AND MY ABS ISN'T WORKING.ALSO MY RADIO ALSO IS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY.

I JUST HAD MY CAR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTED AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST 72HOURS, WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I AM ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON, HOWEVER FEAR FOR MY SAFETY NOW WHENEVER I DRIVE IT. THESE EXACT ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS, DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURE AND I BELIEVE THIS MODEL HAS BEEN SIMILARLY EFFECTED. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A ENGINE RECALL AS WELL, DUE TO THE IDENTICAL ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING.

DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED A CONVENIENCE STORE, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, HITTING THE DRIVER ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND STARTLING HIM. VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. HEAD RESTRAINT COULD NOT BE RESET AND BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES COULD BE SEEN IN HEADREST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE HEAD AND BACK LIGHTS WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVIING IN TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IT DOESNT START AT ALL , I HAVE TO BAQNG THE DOOR AND THEN THE LOGHTAS WILL COME ON. I PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND ALTINTOR IN THE CAR AND MY NECHNANIC DOESNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS WRONG WOTH IT. BELIEVE IT TO BE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
