general problems of the 2012 Chrysler 200

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving approximatly 65 mph on the freeway the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate when pressing the fuel pedal and began to slow down. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on several occasions and the that the failure started after the heater blower failed to blow heat out of the passenger side vents. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The local dealer jim riehy Chrysler of sterling heights, mi was notified. The failure mileage was 87,000. Jft.

Purchased a used Chrysler 200 in February 2017 at 87,xxx mi. It is now June 2017 and 3 times in the last 3 days my car has suddenly died. The first time I was slowing down and made a right turn and upon accelerating it died, dash lights illuminated, quickly tried to restart and was unsuccessful with just nothing happening when turning key. Took key out of ignition and retried and started right up. Next day I was again slowing down and making a right turn and bam same thing same details. 3rd incident I was driving straight and the car stalled this time I was doing about 15 mph and the steering locked up, quickly took key out and restarted. Engine light was on and diagnosed as crankshaft position sensor malfunction. Replaced the sensor and have only driven for short distance as the first 2 times this happened were terrifying enough. After hours of online research I've found this is common and just being neglected. Chrysler fix this issue before someone gets seriously injured.

While driving down the road the etc light came on and the traction light came on and the car will not accelerate. I was able to park the car and when I restarted it that was a very rough idle and the check engine light the etc light and the traction light are all on.

I was merging on I-271s when suddenly check engine light came on and my car came to a complete stop (the engine was still running). I was not able to accelerate so I slowly maneuvered my car onto the shoulder. I turned off the car and re-started,but I couldn't still accelerate. I had the car towed 25 miles to a trusted mechanic. The next day I was told my him that the crankshaft position sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. I believe that the sensor issue is serious. Without warning my car came to a sudden stop on major highway. By sheer luck I wasn't rear-ended and I didn't lose my life, or worse, my kids.

When driving my vehicle I had three lights to come on which resulted in having to take my car to have a diganostic test, the out come was the throttle position censor in which I have never had any problems before from any of my Chrysler vehicle and the repairman said this is a dealer defect. I am very disappointed that I am going through and ordeal since I have owned many chrylsers with no problem.

"takata rcall" my air bag light is on in the dash board my car was already at the dealership for another issue the agent informed me the airbag modular has failed I informed the agent there is a recall for the tipm. A defective tipm can cause air bags not to inflate and other major issues. The dealer shi want to charge me 429. 00 to fix.

Stopped at a red light, up untill then car was driving fine, made a left turn and the 200 loss power and stalled out. The etc light and traction control light came on out the corner of my eye, next thing I know I was plowed into by another car. After doing more research, I have seen this problem come up time after time. The electronic throttle actually has platic gears, plastic gears that control the opening of the throttle vavle im sure those teeth will wear out on nearly every car and cause problems.

Today, while on the interstate traveling at 60mph, attempted to accelerate and car would not accelerate. Could hear the engine trying to accelerate but the car kept slowing down. Did not see any lights (engine) light up on the dash to indicate a problem. Pulled into emergency lane, stopped and turned engine off; restarted car and it has not occurred again today.

Entering freeway was accelerating,merged into a lane and took foot off of the accelerator and the car rpms kept climbing and speed kept increasing within 10 seconds it stops and will respond normally usually happens when there is a quick attempt to accelerate.

In traffic, steering wheel tightened up and all interior lights were off. Tried to brake but no response, shifted into neutral restarted the car and it turned back on. Seemed to mess up the shifter a little in the process, as well as almost hitting the car in front of me. Probably going about 10-15 mph, and I was lucky to throw the car in neutral and restart otherwise I would of floated into an accident.

2. 4 liter 2011 Chrysler 200. When slowing then accelerating in left turn lanes and turn abouts, the 200 will often stall for a second or two, then proceed. Seems to especially happen when attempting to increase speed quickly to enter traffic. The engine will stall and become unresponsive for a second or two before responding again. The entire process is that I brake and slow for the turn or to enter a round about, when there is an opening, I accelerate, the 200 will speed up as expected, then the engine will suddenly stall and become unresponsive for 1-2 seconds, then resume as normal. This has been unsettling a couple of times. This seems to occur when turning and accelerating. I do not have any issues when accelerating in a straight line. The second speed issue is that the 200 is slow to stop revving when accelerating. On several occasions upon acceleration, when I lifted my foot off of the accelerator, the engine kept revving for a couple of seconds and the car kept speeding up. This has not caused any safety issues. It only happens when I accelerate quickly. When driving normal, this issue does not occur.

I was driving my new Chrysler 200 3. 6l approximately 25-30 mph pressed the gas pedal and had no response. Engine was dead, the steering locked-up causing the vehicle to pull right running off the road. Fortunately, my two children and myself were not harmed. I am extremely disappointed/angry that my children were put into this situation. I believe this is a an unsafe vehicle and investigation should take place.

The car will almost stall, randomly, when stopped at a stop sign or light. It has now started to act like it is going to stall when we start it. The car hesitates, randomly, when you go to accelerate. This has happened to us many times. Entering the interstate it acts like it stumbles before it will respond. We have pulled out onto a busy street where acceleration is a necessity and the car hesitates and almost caused an accident. Most recently, switching lanes on the interstate we lifted our foot off accl. To allow a car to pass us when we went to accelerate again the car would not respond, a car came up on us in our lane and almost rear ended us. (this was on the way to the dealership for the problem) the dealer has been unable to duplicate the issue and nothing was recorded on the computer. Many complaints about this issue on Chrysler 200 forums. We have had a blk box installed and no feed back from dealer was provided even when requested in writing and verbally. We have an attorney, Chrysler has put a low value on the complaint and we are not going to settle case at this time. I hope we do not have an accident while collecting data!.

When purchased this car, noticed that it pulled severly to the left, spoke to dealer ship and they stated that it was normal for front wheel drives to do so. So I continued to drive this car but always having to be on alert when driving on highway if car was going to jerk off road. This car handles horrible! I do not feel safe in this vehicle and do not feel if any control was lost, that I would be able to regain control due to this. The dealership has denied that I have ever brought this up, but when my brakes started squealing around 7000. 00 mile I then brought it up again and they told me I needed a front end alignment and new brakes! ok I just bought the car. . . I told them no, how could that be. Well since then my car has had to have the cylander replaced and they have addressed the jerking with a front end alignment which by the way did not do anything. It still is hard to control and could only do 30 mile an hr in snow before it would loose control. I have more complaints and have addressed Chrysler to no avail. They just tell me its the make of the car and that my brakes squealing are because asbestos is no longer in brakes. I told them that I was not born yesterday and have driven more cars than this and never have had this problem. They offered me an extended warrenty and stated that was all anyone could do . I am a very unhappy customer and becasue I am in a lease I can not get out of this car. Only when it crashes will anyone maybe do anything about this. I am seeking the state attorney in idaho to see if they can help resolve this issue .

Transmission goes in to limp mode,does not go over 30 miles jerking speeding up and slowing down,wont start and check engine light comes on goes off.
