Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2011 Chrysler 200

Driving a vehicle when the engine shut off going approximately 35 mi this has happened before many times.

I was stopped at a red light and light turned green went to press gas and car completely shut off no warning at all no lights on dashboard I put it in park shut it off and started it right back up with no problem this has happened two times in the last week also no codes coming up on scanner.

Driving down the road and the car just shuts off for no reason and I have to try to find away off the road without getting hit. After it sets about a hour it may or may not start.

As I was exiting the freeway coming from 55 mph down to 45 mph the car just shut off a car swerved around jumped down in a ditch due to my vehicle going to a fast halt I waited hours for a tow still didnt get it my car is left in the street because I was alone and couldn't push. . . . It is dark blue and dark on the street it was 11pm when it just broke down. I had no warning it did recrank but as I hit the gas softly I cuts back off now I have tried so many times due to the danger of my location the battery died this has to be a recall and class action suit.

At random times, the car will just shut off while driving l or turning. Absolutely no power for a little bit. This has happened multiple time. I am unsure if this electrical or something to do with the engine. I have called to see if there was a recall she was told there wasn�t. I have seen multiple posts online speaking of this same problem from quite a few people.

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!.

I owe a 2011 Chrysler 200s and it has been stalling and cutting off without warning it has been taken to the dealership on different occasions and they cannot find the cause. I have read over 300 complaints about engine stalling with the same make, model and year of my car. Chrysler manufacturer is refusing to assist. I near cause 2 accidents due to car stalling on the interstate. When the car shuts off I had no steering capability and when trying to start it wont until about an hour later.

While driving on the freeway during stop-and-go, rush hour traffic, my vehicle's engine completely shut off without any warning. At the moment of the engine stalling, I was coasting with my foot off of the accelerator at less than 5 mph, up a slight incline, on an overpass and inside of a construction zone that was void of a shoulder to pull off onto. When I attempted to depress the accelerator to make it over the uphill overpass, the pedal was limp and nothing happened. The electrical panel in my dash was off, with the vehicle still in drive and no physical or audio signs of warning occurred prior to the engine shutting off. I quickly hit the brakes to avoid rolling in reverse down the overpass, shifted the vehicle into park and turned the ignition key to off. When I attempted the restart the engine, the vehicle started as if nothing had occurred. After driving through the remainder of the construction zone, I exited the freeway. After making a sharp, right-handed turn from the off-ramp to the local road, the emergency "brake" warning light on the dash turned on and was accompanied with an audio warning. The light remained lit for the duration of the turn and for approximately 500 feet afterward until it turned off. No other abnormalities were observed with the vehicle. The vehicle has slightly more than 120k miles on it and nothing like this has ever occurred in the past. This appears to be a common problem with the 200, especially with the 2011 and 2012 models. My engine is a 4-cyl, 2. 4l. Despite this widespread hazard, and an early investigation by the NHTSA, no recall has been mandated. The rationale? because it occurs at a "low rate if speed". This is absurd. I was on a freeway overpass, inside a construction zone, during rush hour. If this not a hazard, I don't know what is. Please mandate a recall for this before someone dies on a train track or intersection.

Pulling onto a major busy highway my car shut off completely and would not restart. After spending $533 dollars in June for a electronic throttle control sensor, I'm now being told I have to pay $1300 to have the totally intergrated power module replaced which afterwards I may have to replace a power sensor. Of course, they won't know if the 3rd part is need until they replace the 2nd.

Sunday afternoon I came to a stop to make a left turn. I proceeded I made it into the parking lot and that's when the car engine shut off. I put brakes on immedielty to avoid hitting a car because I could not turn my wheel because power steering was off because engine shut off. Scared me. I took it to robersons dealership 2 weeks prior to this because it did it twice. They ran computer test found nothing wrong. And then today this happened. I am scared. I will take car back to dealership tomorrow. Monday Jan 12 2015. I then read this has happened to others and Chrysler did find a problem but NHTSA did not force them to recall. Someone could get killed if car stalls while crossing a road and get slammed into. This is in in excusable, and needs to be recalled. I am scared and furious and shaken up. The steering felt weird right before it happened.

When I was making a gradual right hand turn (curve to the right) at approximately 15 mph, on flat land, I experienced total engine shutdown, electrical shutdown, and loss of power steering in a split second - without warning. After I gathered my composure, I put the car in park, turned the ignition off, then turned the ignition back on and I was on my way without issue since. My 2011 Chrysler 200 (4 cylinder) has only experienced this 1 time, but once is definitely enough for me!.

As I approached a traffic light I began to brake. As I came to a complete stop my car's engine cut off and all lights on the dashboard lit up. I struggled to avoid hitting the car in front of me as the car came to a complete stop. I turned the car key on off position and cranked it up. Twenty minutes later as I came to another stop the car shut off and began to roll backwards into the car behind me. I was able to stop the car from rolling by heavily applying the brakes. I put the car into park and cranked it and it started but then immediately shut off again. I was able to crank the car a second time and drive off. I immediately took the car to the dealer.

While at a stop light the engine shut off without warning. We could not get it to restart. But the radio and the windows worked. When we would attempt to restart, the engine light and the electrical light came on. We had to have the towed to the dealer. The dealer could not find anything wrong since there were no codes and they could not recreate the problem.

While stopped the engine shut off completely, there was no sputter or jerking. Only engine shut off as if gas stopped flowing to the engine, there was 3/4 tank of gas in the car's tank. Not check engine or any other warning lights appeared. All electronics in the car were still full functional. Vehicle had to be put in park, and key had to be used to turn engine back on. Creates safety hazard not only for passenger in the vehicle but also other drivers on the road.

Engine shut off again while at a stop light. This is the third time it has happened.

12/22/11 - while coming up to a red light, almost at a stop, the engine shut off. The lights worked and the radio worked but the engine was off and the steering didn't work. I was able to put the car in park and after 2 tries the car restarted. I took the car to the dealer the next morning and they were unable to tell me why the car shut off because there was no code recorded. 2/16/12 - while pulling up to a light, going about 10 mph, the engine shut off. Was about to put the car in park and restart the car. Called the dealer and will be taking it in again 2/18. Dealer states since the engine light didn't go off, chances are there won't be any code to let them know why the engine shut off.

I purchased this vehicle new in July 2011. The car has a very jerky motion when driving regardless of the speed you drive. I have taken it back twice and the dealership claims it's a computer problem. No error lights show when they test it but so much of the vehicle operation is controlled by computers. The second time I had the vehicle test driven by a Chrysler mechanic who felt the jerky motion and stated it's getting caught in between gears and that a computer software upgrade is needed but the car is current in software. The jerky motion has increased and now is a daily occurrence many, many times a day. For the last month the jerky motion (which feels much like the car isn't getting gas and shuts out for a second or when you have a manual vehicle and you don't clutch to change gears and the vehicle shut off) is now accompanied by a bang and the car feels as if it's about to shut off. The car lunges and the noise is so loud the first three times it happened I thought I had been struck by another vehicle.
