2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I HAVE 2 CRACKS IN MY WHEEL. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO SEND 1 WHEEL OFF AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO BE REPAIRED. THIS CAR IS NEVER TAKEN OFF OF PAVEMENT. IT IS ONLY DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 1002 HOURS THE DRIVER PULLED OFF OF THE RAMP FROM HWY 41 TURNING RIGHT ONTO HWY 60 WEST. WHILE ON THE RAMP OF HWY 41 THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE EXERTING BLACK SMOKE FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEEING BLACK SMOKE. DRIVER THEN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED. DRIVER THEN CALLED MSG URBAN (RRB NCOIC) TO INFORM HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. AFTER EXITING AND WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 1005 HOURS DRIVER OBSERVED THE VEHICLE START ON FIRE AND PROCEEDED TO CALL 911. AT APPROXIMATELY 1008 HOURS A SLINGER POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, ALONG WITH A WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE SLINGER FIRE DEPARTMENT. DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 8 OR BELOW DUE TO PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED IN DAYLIGHT, WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY AND FAIR.

TURNED ONTO DESTINATION STREET AND UPON PARING, ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, THEN SMOKE STARTED, GOT OUT OF VEHICLE, FIRE STARTED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT FIRE WITH EXTINGUISHER, CALLED 911.

THE CAR DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE STOPS, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO OUT AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN.

OFTEN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN A CITY STREET IT WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THUS RESULTING TO TRYING SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT RESTARTED. BEFORE IT WILL ACTUALLY RESTART WHEN THE IGNITION BUTTON IS PRESSED IT MAKES A WINNING NOISE. IGNITION BUTTON MUST BE PUSHED AGAIN TO STOP THE NOISE. THEN TRY RESTARTING AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AT RANDOM AFTER 1 MONTH OF DRIVING WHEN PURCHASED APRIL 2017 AND HAS BEEN STALLING AND RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN SINCE. THERE HAS BEEN TWO TO THREE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AT TWO AUTO SERVICES INCLUDING CHYSLER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEN FIXED. I WAS DEIVING EVERYTIME IT SHUTDOWN AND THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN STATIONARY.

I HAVE HAD MY THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. RECENTLY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I MOVED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT IS LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER BECAUSE THE CLOCK WAS NO LONGER SET TO THE CORRECT TIME. THAT WAS ON MONDAY 1/28/2019. TODAY AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WITHOUT WARNING AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR LOOKED AT FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST DECIDES TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION I CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILLED THIS FORM OUT..

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL. EITHER FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AT A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT A CURRENT ISSUE IT DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS AND ITS NOT SAFE BUT EVERY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS "NOTHING" WRONG WITH MY CAR I'VE BEEN FIGHTING WITH DEALERSHIPS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR OF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL ISN'T FIXED AND WITH A BABY ON THE WAY I REFUSE TO PUT OUR CHILD IN IT WITH HOW UNSAFE IT IS.
