general problems of the 2011 Chrysler 200

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.

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.

The car jumps and jerks all over the road when driving and the road becomes uneven,has bumps or is anything but smooth. I have gone through 2 sets of rear tires due to the tire wearing down on the inside of the tire all the way down to the radial cords. I bought the car from a dealer used. 3 days after purchase date I was driving on a grooved road and the car started swaying and swerving to the point of loosing control and going into the oncoming lane. Luckily there was no traffic or this could have been tragic. At the time I thought I did something wrong. Then a couple days later I was driving 40-45 mph and hit a bump in the road which caused the car to jump and jerk in turn I overcorrected and spun around in the road. This is very unsafe and somebody will be killed if Chrysler doesnt correct the problem. I am a woman and have no clue why this is happening. I can say the car is getting more dangerous to drive but I dont hsve s choice I hsve to drive it. Its all I have. Please do a recall.

Ii'm still waiting for over a year to get my car fixed for an airbag recall.

On July 4 the abs light came on for no reason several times , staying on for long periods of time. There was a clicking noise in the steering colum and wheel . It sounded like it was coming from the left side. On July 5 , I was driving to work on a back road with several curves . The abs light came on again . Clicking was still happening as well. All of a sudden I felt like I was sliding on a sheet of ice. I swirved from side to side and could not get my car under control. Then my vehicle was on two wheels on the passenger side . Which then slide off the road and down a embankment turning several times and landing on the roof of the car. The air bags never deployed. I am now suffering with a broken collar bone due to the accident.

I just bought a used 2011 Chrysler 200 and within a weeks time noticed the rear of the vehicle was all over the road every time I hit a bump. It doesnt matter if its a small or large bump either. At first I was not sure what was wrong and I almost took it back to the dealer I bought it from. I climbed under the car and realized on the rear passenger right there was a little fluid leaking from the strut itself so I know that needs to be replaced. I slid over and looked at the drivers side rear which had no fluid leakage. After owning the car a month now, im relalizing that both sides are doing it and only the one strut appears to be leaking. The car is to the point of being unsafe to drive because of this issue. Ive had cars that needed struts replaced before and never have I felt like the car was unsafe to drive. After doing a little research, I find that this is a known issue for this car and Chrysler is aware of it. So why has this issue not been taken care of if its a known issue. I have children that ride in the back seat and I dont even feel safe driving them in the car. I need to get it fixed but its tough to do when you just bought the vehicle and are in need of getting your plates for the car($1700). And to fix this issue I hve been told that it will run me $600 and that doesnt even include certain parts if they are horribly bad as well. Like I said, this is more than just a strut issue but when I do get it fixed I will report my complete findings of everything that needs to be replaced in the suspension.

Swing arm links have been clanking loudly when going over uneven surface. Every time I had it at two different dealerships they always say they're unable to replicate the problem. Talked to a Chrysler service tech and he flat out told me they are notorious for this issue but it gets swept under the rug.

It was snowing lightly and this car could not establish traction. I've had the tires examined and they have been verified by a tire company and a dealership to be in good condition. They are all-weather tires. The dealership felt the problem in a test drive and they don't know what is causing the sway or "fishtail" effect. This effect occurs when there is any type of precipitation on the roads. I've researched on the web and discovered many, many complaints about this. All of the owners are afraid to drive this vehicle if there is any moisture on the roads and none of them have been able to resolve the swaying. Some have tried snow tires, have wheels realigned, replacing various parts. Some say that chrylser employees have claimed it is a "known problem" without a fix. Please get Chrysler to fix this for us.

I've been made aware that alot of people are having the same issues with their 200 as I am. My car is unsafe to drive. I haven't had it long, I bought it used. And now my dealership doesn't want to fix it. I am unable to keep control of my car when I hits a bump or any uneven pavement in the road. You can't get above 40mph without almost losing control of the car. I just recently bought a brand new set of tires which my front tires is perfect and my back tires are slick!!! I want this issue resolved so I can get my car fixed. I refuse to pay any money to have someone look at it again. Chrysler is aware of the issues with the 200's but isn't fixing them. This is nothing to fool around with, it can be an issue as to the cost of someones life, then Chrysler is going to pay for it, because they are aware of the issues. I like my car and I just want it fixed. I can't even go home to see my family due to the fact of me not being able to drive my car. I have almost wrecked several times and its not worth risking my life. All of the people that has a 200 would really appreciate if this issue will be resolved. Thank you very concerned driver.

Hearing front end clunking sounds when accelerating from stop and slowing down to a stop, and also noticing slight pull on steering, I brought my car to Chrysler dealer in avondale, az. Since my car is under warranty, only 15 months ownership and under 22k miles, I am concerned. This is the 2nd time my car has had serious problems; first was the transmission which fell apart at one week and 500 miles. The transmission was replaced at no cost to me by this dealer. My concern now is the front end - I was advised the inner tie rod ends are defective and must be replaced; items are on backorder. Why would tie rod ends be defective, so soon, with not excessive mileage at this time? the service manager verbally noted that my car is not the only one with this problem, and yet, no recall has been issued at this time - why not? shouldn't the tie rods also be replaced since they're not affected by the defective tie rod ends? in my opinion, a recall needs to be issued for safety concerns tie rod ends on this vehicle.

Live in mn. When driving on wet or icy roads the rear end sways back and forth so much you feel like the car will sway so far out of control and cause an accident. The first winter owned the car I started to accelerate down the highway and there was some dry tar but also narrow strips of ice here and there but I could not even get my speed up 30 mph without the back end of the car swaying so hard I had to pull off to the shoulder of the road for fear of causing a wreck. We've been to the dealership with our complaint but no remedy from them. Right now my daughter and her father are driving this car from illinois (Dec 2013) and they informed me that the highway is wet and they can't even get up to the speed limit without the back end swaying hard back and forth. I am going to contact the dealership again and see if they can provide resolution. I've read similar stories online and wish the Chrysler corporation would recall this vehicle, it is very dangerous. We do not want to own this road hazard any longer. I don't want anyone in my family to drive this car in the rain or snow anymore. I'm terrified this vehicle will cause the death of someone!!.

My car since I purchased (brand new) tends to wear the back tires out and swerves when it hits a bump, rain, or snow. It gets worse when there is a lot of weight in the back. Such as, two people in the back seat and for this reason I tend to be alone in the car because it could become dangerous to take passengers.

The cars rear end bounces excessively on any rough pavement too the point of almost losing control of the vehicle. This happens constantly when driving over 40 mph and then hitting a rough spot or hole in the pavement.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the rear end swerved out of control while driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on several occasions and the contact was informed that this was a known failure that could not yet be remedied. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 25,040.
