It started yesterday morning July 5th 2017, as I was driving 45mph to work my car just shut off with no warning. . It happened twice. . Today July 6th on my way home taking a right hand turn my car shuts off again, no warning. . Tried starting it which it started but then notice the engine light was on and my oil light came on saying needs oil change. . . . I still have over a thousand miles before my next oil change is due. . . Later that day I checked my oil which was good, didn't need any. . I'm just confused on what's going on especially when I just paid $6500 to pay the car off. . .
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.
I'm driving the car just shuts off, it seems to be something with the pcm that were to replace. This was very scary and dangerous. This happened in the middle of the intersection traffic flowing and the car stops. It's hard to turn or brake to get out the way of coming traffic.
My car received a software update for the pcm on 3/2/2017. On 03/6/2017 my car shut off completely in the middle of driving down the interstate.
The vehicle shut off on me after making a brief stop in traffic. And then again while actually driving. The next day it shut off on me after a stop sign. Absolutely no prior warnings were given of any problems. Now the ck engine light comes on intermitantly. The stops cause loss of power steering and control of vehicle. (busy city street).
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. While driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal suddenly, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
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.
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.
Was at a stop light and after taking off the car shut completely down with no warning no engine light indicator until after this happened. I tried to start it and it cranked but didn't start all the way, I had it towed home and now it starts. I had a six month old infant in the car with me when this happened and I don't feel safe when the car can just shut down like that. I feel there is a default in the engine, we purchase this car a year ago. Thank god there was no one behind me when this happened. I also have had problems with the brakes from when we purchased the car I brought the car to the dealer four times before someone figured it out. It was fine for four weeks and the noise is back, there is a noise in the brakes only when you press the brakes lightly. This problem has not been resolved. And the the warranty is up. I feel it's a defect. Upon my last visit to Chrysler there was a customer there who also has a 200 with the same brake problem they were trying to resolve.
My 2012 Chrysler 200 s stalled on a major highway. After coming to a complete stop due to traffic the vehicle would not accelerate, the steering locked up and then it shut off. There were no malfunction lights or any other type of warning called Chrysler and they said that there are no recalls for this despite there being a number of complaints reported.
Drove approximately 0. 5 miles when the engine started to kick back, drove another 0. 5 miles and as I was parking the car the steering wheel locked up. Put the car into park and turned off the engine. The car would no longer start as the engine would rev right up until the engine should flip over but the car just shuts down at that point. Waiting for a tow at this point to the nearest dealership.
