2012 CHRYSLER 200 Electrical System Problems

The problem seems to be with the electrical system the TIPM is malfunctioning. Wipers will stop midstream or run constantly, any time power is engaged in the car the wipers will begin to work whether the switch is on or off and regardless if the key is even in the ignition or not. Airbag lights are lit up, blinker switch will engage wipers to run.

It happened to my wife with our three kiddos in the car, she was on the freeway doing speed limit 65 when the car just shut off going around a corner at night all of everything shut off including head lights, power steering, and moter it almost through her and kids off the road in the dark ,the wipers shut off whenever they want and the healights off and on without warning, the horn blows unpredictable like , eceleration from bogging down to super fast causes the car to swerve and jerk around unpredictabley the windows sometimes work and sometimes not, once in a while car wont start and or stalls while driving. I'm really worried and scared my wife and kids are going to get hurt or killed or hurt someone else because of these electrical issues. I was so happy to buy my wifey something nice ,safe and sound to drive kiddos back and forth and take me to work and back for it to only turn out super unsafe and unpredictable , we love our crysler 200 still but its unsafe and needs to be addressed as soon as we can before anyone gets hurt or killed, I'll do anything to get help with resolving this issue. It needs help that I cant provide, or afford I'm still happily paying for it crossing my fingers nothing else this scary happens.

As I was waiting for the light to change, my car suddenly shuts off and won't restart. Luckily, some goof Samaritans helped push my vehicle out of traffic. The mechanic close to where the incident took place found that the ASD fuse needed to be replaced and my car started right up. Well my car shut off while waiting for a light a few days later. I will be having my car looked at again however after research it seems to be that the TIPM needs to be replaced. It would be amazing if there was a recall on this as I see so many others having the same issue. This is a HUGE safety concern.

When I am driving the car, it will randomly power off, and the brake will get hard and the wheel will lock up. I have taken my car to multiple shops and they have not been able to figure out the problem. No warning, lights or anything pop up. This problem started happening, almost 2 months ago. My safety is at a high risk because as I am driving the car will randomly shut off as I am on the highway or I’m just driving down the street. It happens everywhere no matter the distance now mater how much gas is in the tank. I saw an article about a recall on Chrysler due to this electrical problem.

The first time this incident occured I was driving in a residential neighborhood and my horn started randomly honking. Over the past few months the horn will randomly start honking and will continously honk for long periods of time. The horn will blast for miles and there is nothing that I can do to make it stop. I have been pulled over because of this and it's terrible driving at night with the horn blaring. The horn does not work regularly anymore. Then my car started shutting off while driving with no warning lights and total loss of anything that is powered (steering, brakes, etc). I have had to pull over on the freeway in unsafe areas, stuck in the middle of intersections with kids in the car also. After shutting off sometimes I am able to start it right away and it will be fine and other times it wont start and after some period of time it will finally start. I replaced the battery and got a new key fob but neither one has fixed these issues. On top of the random horn blaring and car completely shutting off while driving I now have begun having issues with my transmission. It started randomly not shifting while driving causing me to have to pull over and restart the car after about 5 mins. I have had to pull off the freeway to restart my car. The transmission issue was random at first but I haven't been able to drive my car at all because it will NOT shift after 10 MPH. It is automatic with manual option (which I never use) but it will not shift gears in auto mode or manual. The horn blaring is not only embarrassing but the loudness of it is detrimental to a persons hearing. I have read many reports of this particular car having these same issues and the fact that it completey shuts off without warning and loss of power steering,brakes is extremely dangerous especially when traveling on freeways/highways at 70MPH not only for me and my children but the other drivers around me. I have not had it diagnosed or repaired by a mechanic due to the transmission issue.

car has always ran great no problems. i go to leave house and as soon as i drive maybe 100 ft all the dash lights came on started flashing and chimming. engine also reved up which was crazy i was terrified of rear ending someone. i hit brake but it kept doing it. ive had two different shops run a scan and they say too many codes to know. And tell me to take to dealership. i bought car brand new back in 2012. i just need to know what to do now?? the speedometer went to zero and cold hot hand went to c its like the computer wasnt sending messages to the proper places.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the horn inadvertently activated. Additionally, the vehicle lost motive power while driving. The contact coasted to the side of the road and waited to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel pump relay relocation kit needed to be replaced; however, the mechanic was unable to install the replacement part. Additionally, the mechanic disconnected the horn. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Mileage: 140,000

The alternator went out and fried the battery. You could smell like something burnt then the dash lights started flashing like the traction control then the abs light then everything started flashing and the car died and was completely dead. Then when I had the dealer put a new battery in the car he said they had to unhook the alternator so it wouldn’t catch the car on fire. While I moved it, my son said his 300 chrysler did the same thing and their was a recall on his, but theirs not one on the 200s

I own a 2012 Chrysler 200, That I Purchased Used but in excellent condition from a reputable dealer, and had a private pre-purchase inspection by a Mechanic (showing no major issues, and I have that report). I drove my car for just around 10-14 months, performed regular maintenance, and had no issues mechanically or otherwise. On the date this Incident occurred I had travelled in the car throughout that day doing some shopping (and the vehicle ran perfectly). We got home around 8:45pm, I dropped my nana off, and got in the car to go get some dinner. While still on my road (which is dark, curvy, has drop offs and no shoulders) as I rounded a curve my car with NO WARNING, completely died. I lost engine power, power steering, lights, headlights, and my brakes became incredibly weak. I could not be seen be seen by other motorists could not use my hazards, and just by dumb luck I made it over the hill with my momentum and had to struggle( NO Pwr. Steeing) to steer across the other lane on a blind curve with no lights, I was nearly hit by another driver, and got into a vacant lot and required my brake + Emrg. Brake to get the car stopped before it hit the structure on the lot. (I know for a fact I had no warning either mechanically or warning light - because I was looking at my dash panel checking speed at the time of failure) I had to have it towed home. A mechanic diagnosed it as a TIPM failure. After researching I found that this was a widely known/occurring failure on several Chrysler branded vehicles, It is a serious safety hazard for obvious reasons - I nearly got hit myself. Chrysler even recalled the faulty TIPM's on some of their BRAND NEW models but refuses to help owners who's cars are 4-5+ years old. And I can't even spend the Ludacris amount of money for a new one because without a recall and resolution of the defect, I'm just buying another Defective TIPM for $1000+ dollars. This is not only a danger to those in defective cars but others on the road.

Vehicle will turn off while driving, causing steering wheel to lock up. This has happened 3 times. Engine light has come on this time and has codes U0100, U0121 and U11. I’ve had the vehicle checked at NTB, but was told these must be addressed by Chrysler. My safety has been affected while driving on the interstate and the vehicle shut down.

While driving along a 40mph street, the convertible top started to pop open, causing me to have to grab it and pull it down, almost causing me to hit the curb, and having to hold it down until I got home. The instrument panel reading said "CONVERTIBLE TOP MALFUNCTION" and "TOP NOT SECURED". After calling a repair facility, I was advised how to get the top to re-latch closed, but now the top will no longer work, and i'm still not sure that although closed, that the top still isn't locked shut.

Numerous problems with vehicle refusing to start when ignition switch turned on. The dealership could not find a problem. The vehicle then ran for a period of time without additional issues. In April of 2022 the problem resurfaced. After trying for two days to start the vehicle, it started and I took it to a Chrysler dealership. The mechanic indicated the car needed a new starter. The starter was replaced on 4/20/2022. On 5/10/2022 the dealership inspected the vehicle and did an oil and filter change. No problems were found. On 5/13/2022 I was driving and the vehicle suddenly stopped in traffic and would not restart. Thankfully, a crash was avoided when the vehicle suddenly stopped in heavy traffic. The automatic windows and door locks still worked even though ignition would not engage. The vehicle had to be pushed out of traffic and was towed to a dealership. The mechanic listed the following: ASD Main sense circuit; Generator Field Control /circuit; Engine oil pressure sensor circuit low; Starter Control 2 Circuit Open-pulled vehicle in found starter was not engaging-tested both power feed lines. The repair quote was in the thousands of dollars. I have gotten rid of the car and I am purchasing another make of vehicle.

I’ve have been reporting this issue with the TIPM since April 15, 2022 when it stalled and cut off on me in traffic and the horn just started blaring. I have reported this to Mopar/Chrysler, nhtsa and the dealership in which I’ve purchased the vehicle. I was told to have the vehicle towed at my own expense and to pay for repairs. But when you’ve paid out so much already to have a diagnostics performed through 2 different independent shops in which they absolutely refuse to touch or Make repairs to the vehicle when these vehicles have the obvious problems. Not even Pep Boys will touch the vehicles. It’s a disgrace that no one seems to take this issue serious. Upon doing more research, I’ve found the others have complained about the issues. This is dangerous and could cause the vehicle to catch fire. And to think there has been no research or resolution for the issue is even more sickening. These vehicle should be recalled permanently and no dealership should be allowed to sale them. If an issue this dangerous will be overlooked. If you need further evidence. Look into the database here.

Car shuts off while driving; has to turn the car off. Got car serviced, was told had large hole in engine coolant. Motors will go out suddenly on passenger and driver windows.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who determined that the TIPM module had failed. The dealer was made aware of the failure and the contact was advised to tow the vehicle to their location for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for the diagnostic test. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.

ON 1/12/2020 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I TURNED ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MERGE AND IT RAPIDLY CLICKED AND FLASHED ON THE DASH AFTER THE INITIAL 3 NORMAL FLASHES AND I NOTICED THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME WASN'T ACKNOWLEDGING MY TURN SIGNAL. ONCE HOME AN HOUR LATER, I REALIZED MY PASSENGER REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS STEADILY LIGHT (NOT FLASHING) EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OFF AND MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ENGAGED AND POSITION OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY TURN SIGNAL/TAIL LIGHT TO TURN OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE REAR SIGNAL WON'T WORK EITHER SINCE THE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF TO FLASH. I HAD TO REMOVE THE LIGHT FROM THE REAR FENDER AND UNPLUG THE LIGHT SO MY CAR WON'T DIE AND PLUG IT BACK IN WHEN I GO TO DRIVE SO I ATLEAST HAVE THE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. I CAN FIND NO INFO ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND CHRYSLER WASN'T ANY HELP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAD OIL IN THE INJECTORS. THEY CLEANED IT UP AND SENT ME ON MY WAY FOR $715. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NOW SOMETIMES IT'S NOT STARTING. SO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STARTER, AFTER THE WORK THEY RUN SOME TESTS AND SAY THAT I HAVE A BAD TIPM TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY WANT AROUND $1800 NOW FOR THIS REPAIR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LOYAL DODGE FAMILY CUSTOMERS(ON OUR 5TH VEHICLE). THE REVIEWS ONLINE SHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE HAVING YOUR CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING.

MY STEPDAUGHTER'S CAR (2012 CHRYSLER 200), APPARENTLY HAS A BAD TIPM. TOOK IT TO CHECKER WHO DIAGNOSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WHICH HAD COME ON AND TOLD US IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TIPM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER (EARNHARDT, CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, RAM IN GILBERT, AZ) FOR AN N38 RECALL ISSUE (ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT/AIR BAG) THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD RESET THE TIPM MODULE AND WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT BEFORE WE TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL ISSUE, THE CAR HAD SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE AND MYSTERIOUSLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. WELL, LO AND BEHOLD AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM AND DID THE AIR BAG RECALL WE PICKED UP THE CAR AND MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD REAPPEARED AND THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVING LIKE [XXX]! I CAME HOME AND STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS WEBPAGE THAT TOLD ME TO FILE COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS APPARENTLY A SOFTWARE PATCH THAT CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER @ 800-992-1997 THINKING I MIGHT GET SOMEONE WHO COULD GIVE ME MORE INFORMATION BUT OF COURSE THIS HAPLESS CHARACTER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN REFERENCE TO A "SOFTWARE PATCH" HE DID CALL THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE JUST AT FOR THE RECALL, BUT OF COURSE, GOT NOTHING BUT AN ANSWERING MACHINE. HE TOLD ME HE LEFT A MESSAGE AND THEY WOULD CALL BACK MONDAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR CONCERNS. I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH WAITING FOR THE CALL. WHAT BOTHERS ME MOST, AND IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING IS THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND OTHER SOURCES AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE.

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IN RESPONSE TO MY 2012 200 CHRYSLER WHICH HAS COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT STARTED OUT WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPING ON ME AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I LOST POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY OFFICE BUILDING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THIS PART IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS PART ON MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE SOFTWARE A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW THE HARDWARE IS BAD. I SEE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE INCLUDING A LAWSUIT. IF SAFETY IS OF CONCERN, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD ANYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO HELP THE CONSUMER.

IT IS DANGEROUS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL 2012 200'S. IT HEY INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DASH I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WHAT IF MY AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY? I WILL LIVE WITH THAT THE REST OF MY LIFE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE. JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH AT THIS TIME OR THE TIME FRAME THEY CLAIM THE DEFECTS WERE INSTALLED DOESN'T MEAN THE PART THEY INSTALLED ISN'T DEFECTIVE.

I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WRITE THIS LETTER UNTIL NOW. EVEN NOW, A FRIEND IS ASSISTING ME WITH COMPLETING THIS COMMUNICATION. THIS IS THE SECOND CONTACT I HAVE HAD WITH YOUR CORPORATION.

I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER 200, THE ENGINE STOPS/FAILS ABOUT EVERY TWO MONTHS WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAN STOP ANYWHERE AND THEY MIGHT REAR END THE CAR OR SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THEY CHANGED THE PCM. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I TOOK THE CAR THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND GAVE IT TO ME AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE 4TH TIME WHEN I TOOK THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. WELL ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM TIRED OF THEM NOT FINDING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT I SPEAK FOR MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS WHEN I SAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE WHOLE CHRYSLER GROUP, ESPECIALLY TO THE 200, WHICH HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NONE ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE SOLUTION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MOPAR MECHANICS NOT FINDING ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PCM, COMPUTER, OR ENGINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

I NOTICED AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2012, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR IN 2013. MY CAR STARTED HAVING HEAT COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE DEALER DIDN'T FILL MY OVERFLOW FOR THE ANTIFREEZE SO I HAD A FRIEND TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING THE ANTIFREEZE HE DECIDED TO TURN ON THE ENGINE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE BEGAN TO BOIL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER AND TOOK IT ON YESTERDAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH WAS SHORTED OUT AND THAT THE FAN WASN'T COMING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS $1275.00. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND THAT THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL. RADIO, ABS SYSTEM, WINDOWS AND AC ALL SHUT OFF. THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND ENGINE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS BECAME COMPROMISED BEFORE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND COASTED TO STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES FROM BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON TO THE CAR BECOMING TOTALLY NONRESPONSIVE. CAR WOULD NOT START, UNLESS JUMPED. REQUIRED TOW. DEALERSHIP STATES THE ISSUE WAS AN ALTERNATOR THAT SHORTED, AND IN TURN BURNED OUT THE BATTERY. REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 (BEFORE NEGOTIATED DISCOUNT OF 10%).

Mileage: 57,000

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD UNTIL IT ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AT NIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE AVOIDING A CRASH, BUT JUST BARELY. THANKFULLY, I BROKE DOWN NEXT TO TWO POLICE OFFICERS WHO HELPED PUSH MY VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THESE OFFICERS MAY BE ABLE TO ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT NO NOISES OR ABNORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENT BEFORE THE ABRUPT SHUT-OFF WHILE DRIVING. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED, BUT THE PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS IS ONE OF A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. I WILL ATTEMPT TO RETAIN THE FAULTY ALTERNATOR FROM THE REPAIR CENTER. I HAD ONLY STARTED THE CAR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES (ENGINE STRUGGLING TO START, LIGHTS DIMMING, ETC.) WHILE STARTING THE CAR OR DURING OPERATION.

THERE IS AN AWFUL SMELL OF FUMES COMING THROUGH THE AIRVENTS INSIDE CAR. IT'S SO TERRIBLE THAT IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. WELL I FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAC 7 HEATING SYSTEM. MOLD AND BACTERIA HAS SET UP AROUND THE HEATER CORE AND THE ANTIFREEZE HAS STARTED LOOKING LIKE THICK GLUE OR SOMETHING. NOW MY HEAT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE SMELL THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE VENTS, WELL I HAD TO GO TO EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE I COULD NOT BREATH. THE SMELL SETTLES IN MY CLOTHES AND BY ME BREATHING IT IN, THE SMELL HAS SETTLED IN MY NOSTRILS. BY THE TIME I GET TO WORK ALL MY CLOTHES I HAVE ON SMELLS. WENT TO HOSPITAL BECAUSE IT HAS MADE ME SO SICK, MY YES BURN FROM THE SMELL.THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE MECHANIC I SAW SAID THE COMPARTMENT WHERE THE ANTIFREEZE IS NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED OUT AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED AND PROBABLY VALVE GASKETS AND THE HEATER CORE MAY BE STOP UP ALSO SINCE THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LIKE GLUE,THE FUMES FROM THE VENTS IS BAD IT CAN AFFECT YOUR RESPITORY SYSTEM AND YOUR BREATHING. LAKE KEOWEE CHRYSLER DODGE OF SENCA SC WAS CALLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED THE NUMBER FROM RECALL. WELL THIS LICENSE MECHANIC IS GOING TO TELL ME HOW TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY HEALTH AND IT ALSO AFFECTED MY HEATING SYSTEM. IT WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE TO PUT ON FACE MASK SO I WON'T HAVE TO SMELL THAT AWFUL FUME. I ALREADY SPOKEN TO AN ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS. *TR

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. THE ENGINE STALLS AND LOSS OF STEERING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ACCELERATION IS ONLY AT 20% OF WHAT IT NORMALLY IS WITH INTERMITTENT THRUST OF POWER FOLLOWED BY ENGINE FAILURE. THIS LASTS FOR SEVERAL MILES THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA A OUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE VEHICLES AND IF U TAKE IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE. IT SAYS THE VEHICLE IS FINE WHEN THEY PLUG IT IN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO AND THE INTERNET IS SWAMPED BY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR, THIS SAME YEAR OR AROUND THE SAME YEAR... WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. LOGIC SUGGESTS THAT CHRYSLER WONT VOLUNTARILY RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR FINANCIAL REASONS WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DON'T WANNA DIE BECAUSE I CANT CONTROL THIS CAR WHEN IT HAS THE ABOVE MENTIONED "EPISODE". *TR

ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE LIGHTS HAVE TOTALLY WENT OFF AND WOULD ONLY COME BACK ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS DISENGAGED. I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO TESTED MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ALSO CHECKING ALL THE FUSES. HE WAS AT A LOSE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE [XXX] WAS DOING THIS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET, TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC, AND MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT NO WARNING AND EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED INCLUDING BRAKES. I TOOK IT INTO CHRYSLER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE NO FAULT LIGHT WAS COMING ON. SO THEY TOOK THE NEXT STEP OF PUTTING A MODULE ON MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BUT LUCKY FOR ME IT DIDN'T BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WAS SCARY ENOUGH FOR ME. THEN WHEN I TOOK IT BACK IN THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT WHEN MY CAR DOES THAT JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. SO THREE WEEKS LATER MY CAR DID IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH, SO I TRIED THEIR SUGGESTION AND IT DID NOT WORK, FOR THE SECOND TIME EVERYTHING JUST QUIT WORKING IN MY CAR. SO I CALLED THEM AGAIN TALKED TO THE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER AND HE SAID IF THERE IS NO LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN MY CAR DOES THIS HE REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I JUST RENTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE FOLLOWING, THE BATTERY HAS NO BOOT OR OTHER INSULATION DEVICE PROTECTING EITHER ITS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE TERMINALS. THE BATTERY IS LOCATED DOWN IN A WELL IN FRONT OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. IT WOULD BE VERY POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO ACCIDENTALLY DROP A METAL TOOL DOWN INTO THAT WELL WHERE IT COULD CAUSE A SHORT-CIRCUIT TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL. A SHORT-CIRCUITED AUTO BATTERY IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING HUNDREDS OF AMPS OF CURRENT, WHICH EQUATES TO AN ELECTRIC ARC WELDER. THE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF THOSE UNPROTECTED BATTERY TERMINALS SHOULD WARRANT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED TO CORRECT THIS APPARENT DESGIN FLAW. *TR
