Engine. A dealership charged me thousands of dollars and refused my car of needing to leave the service mechanic shop. Due to a defect of my cylinder head gasket being diagnosed as my car causing a leak. My engine estimates was billed after declining work from the service department explaining to my car was going to blow up. I had to drive with the overheating light comes on from the engine and cooling system defect. The recall was not requested I am complaining has caused a safety issue driving my Chrysler 200 lx. Companies that have serviced the maintenance of my vehicle have billed to fix issues my car don't have. Because the safety recall my vehicle does not offer for cooling symptoms. To breakdown and overheat from paying for service to prevent the problem, repair companies billed fees to prevent declining service, for a safety risk given to me as customer. I have a invoice billing statement could not question dealership why my car hazard to blowing up. When having to pay mechanic for labor not recommendent agreed to afford as paying customer. The problem has reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. After independent service center decline me owing a inspection diagnosis balance. Another company I take it to did not let me out a agreement to decline the mechanic labor. My car has been inspected from the dealership after I explained to them was waiting for a recall to approve the labor fees billed to me. P03 error code and the car inside lights would turn on and off from breaking and turning with the signal light button. Warning signs was overheating light on when the car is not running hot. Along with the temperature gauge going higher after replacing both thermostats and cooling sensor. The car gauge needle near middle hot level was the when the issues first appear as warning. A lot of the symptons of the engine cooling system issues occur during hot weather. Cooling system from the engine defect worsen not prevented over hot or cooler weather.

I will be driving on the freeway, highway in the snow on ice in the summer Wherever, suddenly my engine shuts down. I lose my power steering, my brakes and my safety. I have had my vehicle checked out and nobody can find anything because there are no codes that are being thrown. No dashboard lights going on nothing to indicate there's an issue. The safety of me my mother who rides with me often my grandchildren are at risk. Most recently it happened during a ice rain we had and I can't push on my brakes and my power steering is gone and my car spins in the middle of the road because I have no control over it. The only thing that I have been able to maybe come up with is something in the engine that was discovered maybe in 2015 something about a PCM I believe. So they did recall 2015 and newer vehicles and left all of us with the 2011 to 2014 vehicles to Ben for ourselves. I am making payments on this vehicle and I want to send it to the junkyard. I can't keep pouring money into it trying to figure out why it just stalls. If this isn't present and safety issue to Chrysler then nothing does. I find it hard to believe a company that makes millions of dollars maybe billions a year cannot find it within themselves to recall the engines in these Chrysler 200 vehicles that are having these issues. With that I'm hoping that it won't one day die on me in the middle of traffic and I get hit possibly killed because it just dies and I have no control over it. As soon as I can pay it off I am dumping this car I will not put it on anyone else it isn't fair to them and frankly it wasn't fair to me buying this used from a dealer and having this issue. Oh by the way sometimes it will start right back up if I put it into neutral while I'm driving and hit the key others it will not sometimes it takes 2 hours for it to start again sometimes 10 minutes. I don't know why it does it frankly I don't care I would just like it fixed. I'm single I don't make a lot of money and it's frustratin

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.

Engine keeps overheating with no engine codes I have changed the thermostat the thermostat housing the radiator both fans and the water pump and none of this has fixed the problem the coolant doesn’t cycle from the coolant reservoir regardless of coolant levels are low or depleted. This is going to lead to bigger problems in the engine and the mechanics are out of Awnser as to what is happening.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled.

At first the car started making chirping sound on the right side when ever the car idles. One day I was driving and it shut down while I was driving and the check engine light and electrical light came on, i finance the car and they do the repairs under warranty no electrical repairs. They did repairs to the engine they claim and the problem still persists when the engine shuts off while I’m driving. the brakes lock up and the steering wheel locks up. And you can’t change the gears to park the car. I literally drive with my hand on the emergency break out of anxiety, after it shuts off, the odometer and rpm meter both drop at the same time when it occurs, and after waiting for it to come back on the rpm struggles to go over the “1” I have to wait 20mins for the car to start back up every time. I got the car 03/25/2021 @ 130,800 miles. The car isn’t even at 150,000 miles meaning It’s only driven about 20k miles and this is happening & apparently only had 1 other owner. Not sure how true it is. hI’ve already fixed the suspension issues on the car 670$. The engine repairs were under warranty I want to say over 3k in repairs they claim, the picture I’ve added is of the check engine light it goes away the next day I’ve only been driving the car when I need to so I don’t cause a bigger problem. Hope you can help. Thank u

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.

While slowing to a stop, the vehicles engine sputtered and shook, and ultimately shut down. All power steering and braking capabilities were lost, leaving the vehicle in a drift. The vehicle had to be put into PARK to be halted. Fortunately, I was slowing in a neighborhood near a driveway, and was traveling slowly. Had this happened on a major road or freeway (and I have in fact detected this lurching before in such conditions), I or others could be seriously injured in a high speed collision. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer yet. Nor by police, insurance representatives, etc. No warning lights were engaged to warn me of the approaching stall.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact’s wife stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle shutoff without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted.

My vehicle just started this week to rough idle when braked at a red light. And when picking up speed in the city or highway it kicks back(rough idle/shaking) alot and the check engine light will flash and then dissappear. Nothing is getting picked up when checking for codes. But I believe it has to do with that safety recall: Chrysler Town & Country Engine Recall: 11V487000 Engine May Suffer Internal Damage and Stop Running I did get my oil change at the dealership I purchased but nothing came up to them about it as well(since they do inspection). This is my only transportation so I need this to get taken care of as I have 2 kids and appointments. Thank you. Consumer resolved the issue by changing the ignition coils.

For weeks now ive been noticing a weird grinding or dry rubbing sound underneath the front end of my chrysler. Checked it out a few times, as though i am not a mechanic i can identify the basics of something not right. However, after my husband and his brother both looking it over on seperate occasions, they have noted a leak under the carriage of the car. Often here recently, the guage senses an over heating of some sort. Since this notice, we have replaced the oil cooler twice in a year; as well as flushed the hoses associated with the coolant reservoir. Fixed temporary but has now already started getting too hot. Which simply tells me that its something further internal thats wrong. I was informed of an engine recall: L33 of my chrysler model. However havent seen one on this website. When driving yesterday, i noticed a light on my cluster that indicated the traction has failed. When i brake, all u hear or feel is a vibration under your feet, up front. I replaced my brake pads all 4, within the past 4 months and theyre now rusted over and u notice a brake fluid leak on the front right side. After a light, the grinding noise, the vibration and the overheating; i am positive that this will eventually cause a car stall or worse a fatal accident. My brakes could eventually fail while driving in traffic, causing a crash. Or my car could just all out stalland the cluster can trip and i could be in harms way if at the time it does this i could be goin 70 on the interstate or in a turninglane in town and without proper fix; it could easily cause a fatal accident and i could be killed or worse my children!

THE CAR WON'T STOP OVERHEATING, WE HAVE REPLACED THERMOSTATS AND PUMPS THINKING THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THAT NEVER STOPPED THE PROBLEM. 20 SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE IS ALREADY AT THE HALFWAY MARK FOR HOW HOTT IT IS, AND EVEN GOIGN 30 MILES AN HOUR GET ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND STARTS OVERHEATING. ON MY WAY TO WORK I ALMOST CRASHED CAUSE IT SHOWED NO INDICATORS AT AL!!! JUST STARTING BELLOWING SMOKE. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND DIDNT MOVE IT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. NO WARNING OF IT ABOUT TO HAPPEN JUST DOES.

I'VE GONE A WEEK WITH NO INCIDENT TO HAVING IT HAPPEN DOZENS OF TIMES ON A SINGLE TRIP. VERY SCARY SITUATION. ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC.

CAR RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING 'SHIMMIES'. THE WHOLE CAR WILL SHAKE.

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.

I LEFT MY HOME, IN MY VEHICLE WHICH HAD BEEN RUNNING COMPLETELY NORMALLY WITH NO DASH LIGHTS ON, OVERHEATING, LEAKING, ETC. I LIVE ON A DANGEROUS ROAD (IT'S EXTREMELY CURVY, DARK, HAS A HIGH ACCIDENT RATE AND NO SHOULDERS JUST 12FT. DEEP CONCRETE DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES. I LEFT HOME AROUND 9:35PM AND MADE IT APPROX. .5-1 MILE AND BRAKED SLIGHTLY TO TAKE A SHARP CURVE, AND WITH NO WARNING MY ENGINE STALLS COMPLETELY (ALSO CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING). I WAS DOING ROUGHLY 25-30 MPH. WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAUSED ME TO BE UNABLE TO KEEP MY VEHICLE SAFELY IN MY LANE ON THIS SHARP TURN (I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING LANE WAS CLEAR). LUCK IS ALSO ALL THAT PREVENTED ME FROM BREAKING DOWN AWKWARDLY POSITIONED RIGHT IN A DARK BLIND CURVE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ON WHAT LITTLE SPEED I HAD LEFT, TO ONE OF THE ONLY SAFE PULL OFFS ON MY ROAD ( I BARELY HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DO THAT, AND IT WAS JUST BY CHANCE THAT I WAS BY THE SPOT WHERE IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROADWAY. I HAVE SEEN WELL OVER 50 ONLINE COMPLAINTS SO FAR, OF OWNERS OF 2012 CHRYSLER 200'S WHO HAVE SUFFERED FAILURES PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL TO MINE. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE/OIL CHANGE JUST A WEEK OR SO PRIOR TO THIS, THE INSPECTION REVEALED NO ISSUES NEEDING ATTENTION. THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY NORMAL RIGHT UP TO THE MOMENT YOU LOOSE ALL POWER AND YOUR ABILITY TO STEER WITH ANY PRECISION OR SPEED. THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY FAIRLY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE, SERIOUSLY IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSES NO CHECK ENGINE WARNING THEREFORE NO ERROR CODE TO DIAGNOSE BY, AND DEPENDING ON YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND LUCK AT THE TIME COULD EITHER CAUSE A GIANT INCONVENIENCE OR A SERIOUS TRAGEDY. CHRYSLER ALREADY RECALLED FOR A NEARLY IDENTICAL ISSUE BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE 2015 MODELS. THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

IT HAS CUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR LIGHT AND I'LL ONLY KNOW BY THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR NOTICING THE RPM GAUGE DROPPING TO 0. SOMETIMES IT'LL START UP JUST FINE RIGHT AFTERWARDS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO TO START UP. IT MAY START A RIGHT BACK UP THEN CUT RIGHT BACK OFF OR IT MAY START UP AND BE FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. SOMETIMES IT ONLY STARTS BACK UP WHEN I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR A FEW SECONDS. *TR

HEATER CORE...DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, RESEARCH REVIEWS OF CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE WITH MANY MAKES & MODELS FOR THEIR INEFFECTIVE HEATER CORE. THE COST TO FIX IS NOT CHEAP (I CAN SHOW RECEIPT) VERY FEW SHOPS WILL WORK ON HEATER CORE FOR THIS CAR. CAR HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH HEATER CORE, & I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN GIVE MY STORY AS I WOULD JUST BECOME EVEN MORE INFURIATED. ASHAME NO LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AGAINST CHRYSLER. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THESE IDIOTS DESIGNED A VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF ENTIRE BUMPER FOR TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BUMP (WHICH COST DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF THE ALREADY EXPENSIVE BULB). WORST PURCHASE EVER MADE, CHRYSLER COULD GIVE ME A CAR FOR FREE & I WOULD REFUSE TO TO KEEP IT AT THIS POINT. NEVER EVER AGAIN. JUST SAY NO TO CHRYSLER

MY CHRYSLER 200 DIED WHILE DRIVING--STILL HAD POWER, BUT ENGINE DIED. THE FIRST TIME,6/8/19, WE THOUGHT IT WAS A CAM SENSOR-THAT WAS THE CODE IT THREW AT THE MECHANIC. WE REPLACED IT. THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE ALTERNATOR WASN'T-SO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. DROVE IT FOR 2 DAYS & IT DIED AGAIN, 6/16/19. TOOK IT BACK & THE SAME CAM SENSOR CODE IS POPPING UP BUT SENSOR IS STILL GOOD. GOT IT BACK, DROVE IT ANOTHER 2 DAYS & IT DIED AGAIN, 6/22/19. TOWED IT BACK TO SHOP & MECHANIC CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER A WEEK. HAVE IT BACK 1 DAY & CAR DIES AGAIN, 6/29/19. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HERE MENTION THE CAR ENGINE DYING FOR NO REASON, BUT STILL HAVE POWER. WE'VE BEEN LUCKY-WE HAVEN'T BEEN ON A HIGHWAY WHEN IT'S DIED. EACH TIME, WE'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND THE CITY & MAKING A TURN & THE TRAFFIC FLOW HAS BEEN SLOW. SOMETIMES WE'VE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP-OTHERS WE HAVE NOT. BEING THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPETITIVE COMPLAINT, WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED ON THE VEHICLE??

2 COMPLAINTS/CONCERNS: 1) THIS AFFECTS THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 I PURCHASED USED WITH 62,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HOW THE 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PART OF A GROUP OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FACTORY. THIS ANTIFREEZE BREAKS DOWN AND WILL CLOG THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR, FROM CHRYSLER, IS TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LISTED PARTS AT A COST OF ABOUT $2500.00. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS WE SPEAK HAVING THESE REPAIRS MADE. 2) THIS ONE I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED, BUT I ALSO SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS WHERE THE PENTASTAR V6 EQUIPPED IN A NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MANY OF THESE CASES ARE WHEN THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE CENTERED AROUND A PCM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OF ANY KIND ON THIS.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 CHRYSLER 200. IN DEC-2015 AT 46,000 MILES THE HEATER QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $1200. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS PASSED ITS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY CHRYSLER PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY HAD SOLD A BAD PRODUCT. 3 YEARS LATER (DEC-2018) AT 76,000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SAYING THE WHOLE COOLANT SYSTEM (HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, HOSES, THERMOSTATS AND ENGINE FLUSH) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3600.

CAR HAS 70K MILES AND HEAT DOESN'T WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR, WINDSHIELD DEFROST DOES NOT WORK, DRIVERS SIDE HEAT WORKS SPARINGLY. DEALERSHIP CALLS FOR REPLACING RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND OIL COOLER DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD-UP/CLOGGING IN COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE COOLANT USED BY CHRYSLER AND THE CHEMICALS/OILS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM. THIS IS 100% A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE DEALER & MANUFACTURER ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE. DOING SOME RESEARCH I AM SEEING THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012/2013 CHRYSLER 200, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TYPE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN BECOME FOGGED VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS (DAMP WEATHER) AND WITHOUT WARNING, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD.

THERE IS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SERVICE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BLOCKAGE IN THE HEATER CORE. THEY ADVISE THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, OIL COOLER AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM. THIS WORK WAS ESTIMATED AT $2,700. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND HAD THE HEATER CORE REPLACED, THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED AND A MANUAL FLUSH ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN HALF THE COST. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU CANNOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NECESSARY. I BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TICKETED FOR NOT HAVING SAFE VISIBILITY WHEN OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE SO THIS IS DEFECT THAT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL FOR.

I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST IN REGARD TO OUR 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WITH 3.6 V6 ENGINE OF EPISODES OF PMU SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY STILL COVERED THE VEHICLE WHEN WE FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WE NOW ARE OVER 60,000 MILES AS CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM YET. THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE DRIVING (3 TIMES ADDITIONAL TIMES), AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY , WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES; ALL COMPUTER SUPPORT SYSTEMS FAILED, BUT ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STILL WORKED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CHECKED 4 TIMES AFTER EACH OF THE STALLING EPISODES, THE PMU COMPUTER SHOWS NO CODES (PER CHRYSLER AND THE DEALER) THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX. THE LAST EPISODE THE ESC DASH LITE CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE AND THE ABS LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON & OFF WHICH CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED OR ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED WAS LOST(AGAIN THERE WERE NO CODES) THE LAST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPEN WERE 11/30/16 & 12/1/16. I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER FIAT BUT THE DEALER ANI I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY SERVICE OR SUGGESTION IN RESOLVING THIS PMU PROBLEM. IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. THERE SHOULD BE SOME INFORMATION AVAILABLE, AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR MANY MODELS WITH THE 3.6 V-6 ENGINE AND OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTICES TO DEALERS AND REPLACED PMU. RECALLS HAVE BEEN AVOIDED AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, OR DEATHS. IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH YOUR 3.6 V6 CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA.

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.

( PRIOR TO THIS I WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN AND I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. ) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I DID NOT INITIALLY TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE I RETURNED TO IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80.000 MILES.

CAR DIES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DURING ANY TYPE DRIVING. OF COURSE, WHEN MOTOR DIES POWER STEERING IS LOST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE HEAVY AUSTIN TRAFFIC THAT I DRIVE IN. MAY JUST SHUT DOWN ON A MAJOR OVERPASS WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THIS VEHICLE PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THIS SHUT DOWN CAN HAPPEN AT 10 MPH OR AT 60 MPH OR ABOVE. I TRY TO BYPASS MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AUSTIN EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE SEVERAL MILES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO TRAVEL LIKE THIS. MY CAR ENGINE IS A 2.4L AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER'S 3.6 L ENGINE IN THE 200, BUT I BELIEVE THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO ALSO BE RECALLED

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2015, IN THE MORNING AT 7;30AM, HEADING TO WORK. HEADING TOWARDS THE PA TURNPIKE. MY CHRYSLER 2012, HARD-TOP CONVERTER CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN/ STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. LAST YEAR, IT HAPPEND IN FLORIDA AS WELL. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IN FLORIDA, AND THEY DID NOT FIND A CAUSE. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I'M CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR BOTH ON THE LOCAL ROADS; AS WELL AS, THE HIGHWAYS. I MOSTLY USED THE PA TURNPIKE TO GET TO WORK EVERY MORNINGS. THE OTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE AS WELL IS IN THE CHANGING OF THE GEAR STICK (FROM PARK TO DRIVE, AND VICE VERSA). AT TIMES, IT IS SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE GEAR. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DRIVE SYSTEM SO IT SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD IN CHANGING GEARS.

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.

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

IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER SO I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO CHRYSTAL AND WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. AFTER THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40MPH THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT LIT UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST WAVED BACK N FORTH. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I TOOK IT BACK TO CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT.

THIS UNDIAGNOSED NOISE BEGAN FOLLOWING SEVERAL ENGINE STALLING EPISODES, TWO OF WHICH REQUIRED TOWING (SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN FOR SERVICE). THE ENGINE STALLING EPISODES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND AS STATED, TWICE RESULTED IN TOWING AND SERVICE. SERVICE ON THE ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM OCCURRED IN APRIL AND AGAIN IN MAY 2013. IT IS UNCLEAR WHY THE REMEDY FOR THE ENGINE STALLING WAS NOT FOLLOWED PER THE NHTSA RECALL ID # 11V487000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN/CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER REMEDY- SINCE THAT RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED. IN ADDITION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE, THE FRONT END METAL CLANGING MAY BE THE RESULT OF TOWING DUE TO THE ENGINE DEFECT AND/OR A RESULT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DEFECT (RECALL #11V315000 - STEERING COLUMN).

THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FOR ADVERTISED MILES PER GALLON (MPG) WAS 31MPG, BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS ONLY GETTING ABOUT 15MPG. THIS CAR IS EITHER DEFECTIVE OR CHRYSLER HAS EMBARKED ON MAJOR FALSE ADVERTISING OR FRAUD CAMPAIGN IN WHICH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING THEY WOULD GET 31MPG, BUT ARE PAYING TWICE AS MUCH IN GAS INSTEAD OF SAVING MONEY. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING 31MPG ON HIGHWAY, BUT ONLY GET 15MPG, THAT MEANS YOU RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR EITHER WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN IN THE LANE, OR AFTER IT IS PUSHED INTO SHOULDER, WHICH IS STILL DANGEROUS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM - NOT GETTING GAS MILEAGE. PLEASE FORCE CHRYSLER TO TAKE BACK THESE CARS BECAUSE IT IS EITHER FALSE ADVERTISING AND CONSUMER FRAUD FOR ADVERTISING 31MPG, OR DEFECTIVE FOR FAILING TO BE EFFICIENT WITH GAS MILEAGE SINCE THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE PERFORMANCE THESE CARS WERE SUPPOSEDLY MANUFACTURED & DESIGNED FOR. THERE ARE ALSO UNKNOWN PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. I'M TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TODAY TO INVESTIGATE/SERVICE, BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES MANAGER, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE ME A NEW CAR. IT HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS, COSTING ME MONEY AND POSSIBLE INJURY DUE TO THE PROSPECT OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS SO FREQUENTLY! THE GAS TANK SIZE IS 16.9 GALLONS, SO AT 31MPG, I SHOULD GET CLOSE TO 523 MILES, BUT WE ONLY GET ABOUT 250! WE FILL UP GAS TANK EVERY WEEK, AFTER ONLY DRIVING 36 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO/FROM WORK, MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE WE ARE BEING DEFRAUDED BY BEING SOLD DEFECTIVE CARS THAT DO NOT PERFORM AS ADVERTISED, AND WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY AS A RESULT. I SHOULDNT BE STUCK WITH THIS CAR, PAYING EXCESSIVE GAS PRICES DUE TO CONSTANTLY REFILLING A GAS TANK, BECAUSE THIS CAR BURNS UP ALL THE GAS SO FAST! IS IT A DEFECT OR CONSUMER FRAUD?

HE ALSO CLAIMS HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. YET I FIND OUT FROM A FRIEND TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. I DO A SEARCH AND SEE MANY ARTICLES FROM TODAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND ON THIS. SO, HOW DOES A DEALER NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE SELLING ME THE CAR? CONCERNED ABOUT MY KIDS BEING IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR

THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH APPROX 300 MILES BROUGHT FROM A DEALER'S INVENTORY IN KOKOMO, IN TO ONE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT 11 MAY ,2012..IT HAD BEEN ON THE PREVIOUS DEALER'S LOT, AS PART OF INVENTORY, I BELIEVE SINCE SEP,2011. IN TOTAL IT HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT 2 SEPARATE TIMES..TWICE IT HAS EITHER QUIT WHILE SLOWING OR DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING QUITE A VIOLENT THROW FORWARD OF PERSONS IN THEIR SEATS WHILE AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED COMING TO A STOP...IN THE OLD DAYS IT WOULD BE THE JERK YOU GET WHILE POPPING A CLUTCH TO GET A CAR STARTED WITH A BAD BATTERY.. THE THIRD TIME IT STALLED WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY...WE ARE NOW APPROACHING 1000 TOTAL MILES ON THE CAR WITH LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP...MADE FIRST VISIT TO A DEALER SERVICE 30 MAY 2012,..PCM CODE WAS UPDATED,BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM..HAVE HAD ONE JERKY DOWNSHIFT SINCE THEN ..THIS HAS BEEN THE RECURRING THEME OF MANY OF THESE INSTANCES WRITTEN UP ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL OVER LAST 2 YEARS.. SIDE NOTE..THIS CAR HAS REMOTE START CAPABILITY ON THE KEY FOB..I NOTICED A RECALL LAST YEAR FOR SOME VEHICLES WHERE THEY NOTICED THE CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE A FOB HAD VIBRATED LOOSE, AND SOMEHOW WAS SENDING SIGNALS TO SOME COMPONENT IN THE CAR WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO STOP...IE. NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH A MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT...MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT TOO. TWICE ALSO, THE HINT OF AN ELECTRICAL SMELL HAS BEEN DETECTED...SAME SMELL I EXPERIENCED WHEN THE PCM ON MY 1993 FORD VAN COOKED ITSELF A COUPLE YEARS AGO..AT FIRST I WROTE IT OFF AS A NEW CAR THING..BUT COMBINE THAT WITH PRESENT AND PAST EXPERIENCES...WELL, THE CONNECTION MAY NOT BE COINCIDENTAL. *TR
