general problems of the 2012 Chrysler 200 - part 2

Air bag light is on , going threw brakes and tires every 6 months sense I bought it in 2016. Also no heat started at passanger side and worked its way towards drivers side. Also front windows do not go down started passanger side and 3 months later no driver side. Also was driving about 35 mph made right hand turn car has stalled 5 times.

Engine shuts off on highway going full speed limit surrounded by heavy traffic. I was terrified. The engine light comes on & can't get car started. Then car starts & engine light goes away. Not to mention transmission is leaking & new transmission was put in 2015. Chrysler can't get me in until 4/19/18 bc its busy season. This may be why windshield wipers come on everytime I turn left.

Vehicle shuts off while driving. This happened 3 times in less than 3 years. Driving vehicle and instrument panel lights up and vehicle shuts down. 1st time - July 2015, this happened coming into a roundabout - lost all power including steering and brakes. Was lucky enough that no other vehicles were around. Dealer replaced tipm. Same thing happened less than 1 year later (April 2016). In a parking lot and vehicle just shut off. Dealer replaced tipm again stating part failure - under warranty since was less than 1 year since replacement. Now less than 2 years later on 12/26/17 vehicle shut off while driving 70mph on the highway! was lucky enough to be on 2 lane highway instead of 4 and able to get to the side of the road. Took to dealer that purchased from (happened closer to that dealer than the one that previously had fixed). Explained situation, that part was replaced before same thing happening. They said nothing wrong, couldnt find anything and sent me on my way - drove back roads because I was afraid to drive. Not even 30 miles later and same thing happened. Shut down while driving. Able to restart vehicle every time. Took to dealer that had fixed in the past. Tipm failure again! this is 3 times that the part has failed. Covered under warranty again - they said part warranty had been extended from 1 to 2 years. This is a known problem and definately a safety hazard!! I got the car fixed and traded it in the day I got it back! 3rd failure was at 113k miles. Car purchased brand new in 2012.

The car accumulates debris below the windshield under the plastic tray which clogs up a drain tube which then makes the water flood back through the heater core into the passenger side of the car . Wetting the floor soaking the carpet and causing rust and black mold. I had it fixed once, but after investigation into the Chrysler cars that this is an on going problem with all their vehicles for yrs now. This needs to be recalled and this design flaw fixed. Either they need to have free maintenance of this or they need to have a separate tube for rain drainage and a different tube for ac heat drainage. . It has cause depreciation of my over all resale value of this car plus caused carpet padding damage rust and possibly mold in my car. . Chrysler keeps laying back on the owners saying maintenance problem . . And charging over 500 to fix it. It's not like an owner can easily clean this area it involves take apart the windshield wipers etc.

When I turn on the fan when using the heater or the air conditioner there is a noticeable clicking sound coming from the dash on the passenger side of the car. The sound at this time is lasting about 30 seconds or so then stops. This happens when driving or standing still.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that there was no heat on the front passenger side vent function as well as the defroster failed to function on the front passenger side as well. The dealer landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram, 1900 s noland rd, independence, mo 64055, 1-(816) 833-2100 was contacted for routine servicing, flushed the radiator however the failure had continued but the dealer was not yet made aware to further inspect and diagnose the failure. The contact asked if there had been any TSB, recalls or service campaigns and the dealer stated that the vehicle would need to be scheduled for an appointment to be diagnosed to determine the cause of the vent heat function failing to operate properly. The manufacturer had issued 16 TSB on the electrical system reported to NHTSA but no electrical system recalls for this year, make and model so the contact was uncertain if the dealer may have a permanent fix. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired yet. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Dyd.

My 2012 Chrysler 200 hard top convertible top will not go up or down. It was in a stationary position when I tried to put the top down and it would not go down. It has been broken since June 4,2017. The part number to replace it is 68028392aa. This part has been discontinued and therefore I am unable to put my top up and down. I have tried to work with the local dealer and have even contacted fca (Chrysler administration). To date I have not been able to get any results. Can you please help? thank you.

The convertible top motor is broken and the top will not go up or down. Luckily it is broken in the up position. I have been trying to get the part replaced through Chrysler and all they can tell me is that the part has been discontinued and no after market parts are even available. I bought this car in October 2016, because l wanted a convertible and now I have been without a working top since June 4,2017. I was parked in my driveway when l tried to put the top down and it would not work. I have been told by the Chrysler dealership that the part number needed to fix this problem is #68028392aa.

It was a recall worked on my car for automatic shifter,then my car been having a kind of problem. On the 4/23/17 day after my birthday got in my car to started,my car start smoking and completely shut off. . Went on the internet to see if anyone relating to my problem,then was a recall for 300 2012 on electrical. . I think the dealer or Chrysler not reporting the problem. More people reporting the same problem.

Engine shuts off while driving down the road. It happens on the freeway, on city streets, or at idle. We had the pcm updated in December 2016. It is now March 2017 and the vehicle continues to shut down while driving or at idle. It is extremely dangerous. The brakes barely work and you lose power steering when this happens. This is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. There are hundreds if not thousands of posts online about this issue, with no resolution. This needs to be addressed before someone dies.

Totally integrated control module has failed leaving my car unable to start and once started have lurches in acceleration. Will crank but not start.

Vehicle stalled and would not start while driving (2 times )towed to dealer as (both times) tow driver could not restart. Dealer reported no computer codes and car started after car started on problem. There appears to be common safety hazard that has been experienced by many owners, that reportly Chrysler and NHTSA agreed upon a resolution to avoid a recall by Chrysler of this safety hazard in sept 2012. Chrysler doesn't acknowledge and not sharing this information with dealers so they can take corrective action. Various attempts tried to resolve this hazardous condition have included replacing the powertrain module, camscope replacement, monitoring the on board with a copilot computer-which also showed no codes. The dealer did say that Chrysler suggested an additional module be added to the on board computer, but none of their customers returned a third or more times as previous attempts were unsuccessful and appeared to give up. This life threatening safety hazard needs to beinvestigated and resolved, as we were driving on a roadway and the motor just shut off. , if this not resolved it will sometime cause injuries or deaths, which could end up with a recall something that Chrysler possible replacement of on computers.

There is no heat on passenger side so the defrost does not work and it affects visibility when driving.

"takada recall" while driving down the road at 40 mph. I heard a chime and looked down at my instrument panel. The abs and the electronic stability control was on. Light was on for both. But instead of the esc it was the little car with wavy,jiggly lines under it. These two lights have been on constant for a good 3 weeks. It has gone out while driving a few times for a few minutes just to come back on and stay on almost all the time. There is no flashing of the lights. I don't drive every day. I drive around 5 times a week and short distances of 2 to 4 miles for the most part. There is also a whistling nice coming from the front of the vehicle. I don't think it is very safe to drive since the brakes and traction of the car are all to important part of me and my families safety. Please help with this issue. I paid and am still paying a lot for this car that now has 62000. Miles on it.

Takata recall ----while driving, in motion, to pick up my daughter from school I start to hear a winding sound. My electrical system that powers the radio and uconnect system starts to shut down. My abs light and esc light comes on and im starting to smell a burning in the car,while this winding sound is getting louder, smoke is coming from the hood. The timing or transmission is disabled , the car shutsdown in the middle of the road, in front of the school exit. We could have been struck from behind or the side of the vehicle. Car smells like it caught fire.

Re s61/NHTSA 16v-668 I had this condition and paid to have it repaired. Chrysler (fca) has been telling me for almost a year that they will reimburse me for the repair as soon as they determine the needed part. They state that they still don't have an identified repair so I have to keep waiting for my refund. That is not timely resolution.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. While the vehicle was parked, the front passenger side headrest air bag inadvertently deployed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed. The contact was informed that the recall stated only to replace the module, not the headrest part. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v282000 (electrical system, air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

There was a recall on my vehicle I took it to the dealership in harrisonburg va to be repaired. They only fixed the active head restraints. My car failed a state inspection due to my airbag light illuminating. I have read that "certain" Chrysler 200's 2012 they are to reprogram the tipm then replace the occupant restraint module if needed. They refused to replace this gave me an estimate of $400. I called Chrysler and they also said my car was not recalled based on the VIN and my issue. I am a single mother with two kids my car has 67,000 miles on it has never been wrecked or damaged and I believe Chrysler should replace this. My car is only 4 years old an airbag should not become defective in 4 years. This exact issue is what other 2012 Chrysler 200s have also. I am still unable to have my car pass a state inspection and I also informed Chrysler that when passengers ride in that seat they are putting lives at risk by not acting quickly. 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 hope you all take this matter very seriously. This is a safety issue that could take or save lives.

Takata recall - I never received any information regarding this recall. I am just now (July 2016) experiencing the airbag warning light coming on and a warning tone being emitted randomly while I'm in motion. I'm interested to know if I can still take my car to the dealership to have it worked on under n38 13v282?.

While on the freeway in the rain, the windshield wipers stop in motion and stay in upward position against the windshield. Freeze up of wipers is intermittent. Wipers do not always respond to off position.

Takata recall: there is a problem with the electronic throttle control light that causes the car to decelerate randomly, in combination with a ticking sound that comes from the air bag area of the glove box that is exacerbated by the ac and the heat being turned on. I feel that the car is unsafe to drive, although it says there is no open recall on these components. This happened several times to me on the expressway today.

I am an owner of a 2012 Chrysler 200 and on Feb. 1st while sitting in my driveway a fire started in the internal. I called Chrysler and I received a letter that they will not take responsibility for any manufacturing or assembly error. A week prior before the car caught on fire the heat would only work on the driver side. This vehicle is not safe and it is very disturbing that a company like Chrysler would not take responsibility for an unsafe vehicle.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vent control failed to release heat from the vent on the front passenger side. The failure prevented the windows from defrosting in inclement weather. The vehicle was taken to yark Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (6019 central Ave, toledo, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

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.

My car heating system only heat half of the car and you can smell antifreeze coming through the vents. The passenger from window has stop working, it will come down but want go up. And the two windows in the back is trying to stop working. I just got this car on 11/01/2015 with only 32,000 miles on it.

Randomly shuts down while driving down the road,with no warning.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. While driving approximately 10 mph and activating the right turn signal, the windshield wipers engaged automatically. The failure recurred every time the turn signals were used. In addition, the heater would blow hot air through the driver side vents and cold air through the passenger side vents. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.

My cars a/c heater blend door actuator has gone out. Upon my research I see there are numerous Chrysler 200 owners with the same problem. It is my understanding gm recalled the same part from the same manufacturer. Shouldn't Chrysler recall the part as well? the problem is persistent in the part continually clicks, cold air running through the vents when the heater is on.

Dear sir/ madam: 11-08-15 a fire occurred at my house which was located at 5253 braidwood cv, on the above date, I parked my 2012 Chrysler 200 in the garage and went to bed. Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour after retiring, I was awakened by a loud explosion and my neighbors beating on my front door to awaken me and my 21 year old grandson. He also was sleeping in another bedroom. When both of us attempted to escape from the house through the kitchen/garage entrance, we were met my heavy bellowing grey and black smoke that prevented our exit and almost overwhelmed us. Several months later, I am yet suffering from the shock and emotional trauma. Because of dealing with flashbacks, nightmares, intermittent waves of nervousness, deep sadness, feelings of grief/loss, periodic confusion, digestion issues, and numerous financial concerns, I am in professional counseling. 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. The first was the morning after the fire, when my son called on my behalf from his cell phone. He was informed that there was no recall of this particular Chrysler 200, however there were some known problems with the gas tank and ignition systems that were built between March and November of 2012. Please understand. I lost my house, 23 long years¿ worth of cherished belongings, and the car I recently purchased. I lost everything in the fire. I decided that,I would rather initially contact Chrysler directly. My hope is that Chrysler will understand the gravity of the situation and do the right thing without going through expensive attorneys. 901239. 0809/email ldmadd@hotmail. Com .

We got recall p25/NHTSA 14v-234 I called the dealership in garden city long island ,NY tel 516 292 9764 to make an appointment, I have been there several times for oil change. I requested about this recall and there response- 1- OH we do not have part in stock, we will call you when we get the part, 2- on the phone they keep transferring the line, finally I end up with leaving message, but no call from them. 3-they keep you on hold so long that you have to hang up the phone. I do not know what to do. I feel this dealership is arrogant, irresponsible, unprofessional and danger to the car owners. I hope you take action immediately. I might be one case but there are millions of Mini van like mine. Thanks for your cooperation. Asif ansari 917 902 3142 email- yaakubansari@hotmail. Com.
