THE CAR ACCELERATES AND IF I HIT A BUMP OR ANYTHING IN THE ROAD MY CAR WILL START TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH AND HAS ACTUALLY SPUN ME AROUND IN A 360 MOTION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. SOMETIMES YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO GO OVER A BUMP OR ANYTHING IT JUST SHAKES AND SWAYS. IT DOES IT ON ANY ROADWAY, ANY CONDITION. ITS A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN VERY BAD ACCIDENTS 3 TIMES BECAUSE I LOST COMTROL BECAUSE OF THE SWAYING. ONCE WAS A NEAR HEAD ON WITH AND 18 WHEELER. CHRYSLER NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS.

INITIALLY THE PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH 1 WEEK AGO THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER TWITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT DID RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RESTARTING IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR IT SHUTTING DOWN. JUST A PASSENGER RESTRAINT RECALL. LAST FRIDAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 55MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE CAR COULD NOT BE RESTARTED THIS TIME AND WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKEWOOD NJ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TELLING ME IT'S MY BATTERY, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANY ERROR CODES. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY NEWER BATTERY UNTIL I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH MY FLASHERS ON SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT BY THE CARS PASSING BY ME AT 60MPH!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THE STALLING ISSUES ARE RECOGNIZED AND REPAIRED??? I AM STILL SEEING COMPLAINTS NOW, OF DRIVERS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHO HAVE JUST SHUT DOWN LIKE ME. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL OUT THERE AND NEEDS ATTENTION BY CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING OWNERS WHEN WE COME IN FOR CARS SHUTTING DOWN. THIS IS NOT A LOW RISK SITUATION,, IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND DOESN'T NEED A TRAGIC DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM IS REAL!! I'M NOW BEING CHARGED BY CHRYSLER CLOSE TO $500 FOR DIAGNOTIC TESTS AND A NEW BATTERY, 137.00 FOR A RENTAL CAR,,, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED V6 WILL UP AND STALL WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AND BETWEEN TWO DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT LOCATE THE ISSUE. THE PCM AND FUEL PUMP ARE BRAND NEW AND IT STILL STALLING WITH THE LAST TIME BEING DECEMBER 2ND 2018 AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING HOME. HOPEFULLY THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIND OUT SOMETHING AS THEY ENDED UP PUTTING A CAR FLIGHT RECORDER ON MY CAR TO RECORD THE STALLING PROBLEM. BY THE WAY IT HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE OCTOBER 2016.

THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING OR SEATING AT A RED LIGHT NEED HELP TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT

I COULD BE DRIVING ON DRY OR WET PAVEMENT AND IF THERE IS ANY WEIGHT IN THE BACK END OF THE CAR IT SWAYS ALL OVER THE ROAD AS IF I'M LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. ANY LITTLE BUMP WILL LAUNCH ME ALMOST INTO THE OTHER LANE. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I AM AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CHRYSLER IS GOING TO DO ABOUT THE SITUATION BECAUSE SOMEONE LOSES A LIFE OVER THIS CAR.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN THE 2011 CHRYSLER 200 JUST SHUT OFF. DASH WENT DARK, RADIO OFF, CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF! LUCKILY SHE WAS BY AN OFF RAMP AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS STILL WORKING WAS THE BRAKES, THANK GOODNESS! THE CAR DID NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CAME BACK ON EITHER WITH TURNING THE KEY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER THE CAR DID RESTART. WE TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES FROM THE CAR OR RECREATE THE EVENT, THUS BEING UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR AND ANSWER WHY IT HAPPENED!

MY CHRYSLER 200 WILL STALL INTERMITENLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR RUNNING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. IT WILL ALSO CHUG AT TIMES LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OR 1/2 A TANK. I KNOW THAT THE 2015'S WERE RECALLED AND IT SOUNDS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY 200.

WHEN DRIVING THE RED LIGHTING BOLT LIGHT COME WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THE TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC HAD TO TURN CAR OFF THEN START BACK UP THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING THAY HAVE SAID NO FIX VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2011 200. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. BEFORE I GOT HOME IT STALLED AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER TRYING TO GET PULLED OVER. LOST BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. AFTER MONTHS OF WORKING ON IT I PULLED OFF THE OIL PAN AND FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS. THE BALANCE SHAFT MODULE/OIL PUMP HAD SOMEHOW SHEARED THE GEARS AND IT LOST ALL OIL PRESSURE DUE TO DEBRIS. I NOTICE 2012 HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. WHY DON'T 2011. HAS TO BE DEFECT, HOW COULD DEBRIS GET IN THE OIL PAN N SHEAR THE GEARS? MANUFACTURE DEFECT N THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AS WELL.
