general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 200 - part 2

My car keeps going dead for no reason, then starts up after five minutes.

Adjusted the electrical mirror then shortly after adjustment smoke started to roll out from under the buttons of the window controllers and melted them slightly (driver and passenger front window buttons) the vehicle was in motion and then stationary due to we had to exit the vehicle due to be overcome with smoke. We were turning off a highway to a residential street. We then was able to get back into the car when there was little smoke and continue 1/2 mile to the home were staying at. Window's will not roll up or down now. Due to the smoke, I am afraid to drive my vehicle back to michigan from wisconsin in a week. Also, the front passenger seat belt does not lock onto the restraint lock. Why did it not blow a fuse before it started smoking?.

Takata recall last time I was driving on the freeway going 70 miles per hour and the vehicle suddenly lost power with a semi truck right behind me and I had to swerve off of the road to avoid being hit and nearly causing an accident I do not feel safe in this vehicle and I'm in fear for my life.

There have been multiple times that I've been driving w and the steering wheel locks and the car shuts off. I have to come to a complete stop put it in park and restart it. I've been lucky I haven't been rear ended ,.

There is a faulty actuator in the air conditioning system that controls the blenders. It clicks when the vehicle isn't running and it is draining the battery, unless the car is run frequently/daily.

My car is making a ticking noise every time I hit my alarm or drive it. If comes tom my attention my ajuactor door is getting stuck and making this noise.

I am always having electrical problems. The lights don't want to turn on. The air conditioner does not want to switch on. The fans don't want to turn on. It's always something with the electrical. The car will be in different motions and so this sometimes when I go to start it or sometimes when I am driving. It can end up being dangerous what if the electrical goes out while I am driving.

My vehicle will cut off/stall while driving, losing speed control. This has happened more than I can count. On residential street, main highways, and freeways while doing speeds up to 70mph. If I am able to pull over to safety I would attempt to start the vehicle and it would crank but wouldn't turn over. After 2hrs the vehicle would start. I've taken it into several dealerships to be diagnosed and they wouldn't be able to duplicate the issue. The dealership hooked up a tracker and said it was one thing and fixed it and the problem is still happening. First incident was mothers day may 2017.

The windshield wipers randomly cut on while driving on days that there is no rain or water present. The air conditioner also changes it settings when it is not on "auto" and my cruise control will only work about 30% of the time. It will not set to the speed I have selected.

Wipers won't shit off electrical failure.

In June 4, 2016 I was attending 2 high school graduations. It was raining that morning so my wipers were on. I get to the center and go inside. After the 2nd graduation and speaking with family and friends I go to the parking garage to leave. I get to my car to find my wipers still going. I get in the car a try to turn the switch off. Its already off. I drive home. My husband and I check for the fuse to remove. No luck. He disconnects the battery. There is a lot going on so I get it to a mechanic a week later. He tests it and the results come back as the wiper motor. We schedule the repair but finds it is not the motor. He retests the car and tells me its the totally integrated piwer module or tipm. He suggests that. I call Chrysler. They tell me to go to a Chrysler mechanic and call them back. I go to the nearest 2 Chrysler dealers in my area. Neither could help me at the time. I now have a mechanic scheduled for tomorrow. I hope to get my money back from Chrysler,.

I have a 2013 Chrysler 200, it has roughly 70,000 miles, as I was accelerating onto the highway the vehicle would not go over 40-50 mph. I was almost rear-ended because everyone was trying to get onto the highway. I couldn't pull over because of it being over a bridge. When I went to pull over the car stalled and would not start until the 3rd or 4th try. The car is practically brand new there is no way this should be having this problem. As I am reading many of the other complaints this seems to be pretty common in this vehicle & year.

The car keeps stalling in traffic, get an engine jump then stalls. Chryslers techs can't even figure it out. Also stalls on freeways and is going to get someone killed. From what I see it's happening in these cars from 2012 to 2015 models everywhere. I'm very sick of going to the dealer and paying hundreds of dollars because of course it's always something not covered under warranty, how convenient. Then either right away or a month later the same issue occurs and get worse and worse. This needs to be addressed immediately.

Ok. . So let me vent here. I first bought my car this year. (March) and they let me take my car for a night to see if I would like the car. They had a 2013 Chrysler 200 lx 2. 4cyl. Or a 2014 Chrysler 200 limited 3. 6v6 the 2013 had 37k the 2014 had 21k. I wanted the 2014 but when they asked about it. It was already sold. . . I didn't know that. So I went for the '13 lx. Drove it off the lot for a test drive. Drove just fine. Got back to the dealer. Signed a paper and left with it from the dealer for the night. Well on my way home. I thought would go out of my way a little bit for a little extra drive. (keep in mind I had a full tank from the dealer) lol! something I requested. Because when I test drove it. It was on e. And gas light was on. But back to the point. While going out of my way. I stopped to get pizza. And left my car running. All lights were on. I'm sitting inside waiting for my pizza. Since I called it in before hand. Got my pizza. Come out to my car. And I stopped in my tracks. And thought. Hmm. I could have swore I left my car running. Like wtf. And my headlights and everything was still on! and then I thought. Oh shit. . . I got into my car. Everything is on. Ac (which of course wasn't cold air since engine wasn't running) and all my lights were on. And I knew as soon as I got into my car and the rpm's are on 0 and everything is still on. I sat there for a minute. In shock and disappointment. Turned my key back. And turned it back and it fired right up. So I was upset but didn't think much of it. Called my dealer and they told me they would take care of it. Took it in and they gave me a loaner while they "fixed" it. Got it back and didn't happen after that. Now it just started again today. Bout a month worths of time. . . I'm sick of this. My car only has 45k now. And I got it with 37k. . . Taking my car in once again. This is going to kill somebody. . . Stay safe.

My car just had the etc light and electronic stability light come on and the car loses horsepower. From my research online this seems to be a common issue with them.

I was proceeding to get on the interstate highway when I noticed that I was pressing the gas, but the car was not accelerating. I looked down and two lights were on, the stability control light and the throttle body light. I just purchased this car on 9/9/2015 used. Another time before that, I was driving home from work and my radio powers off and where my mileage is it says no fuse. When I got home I tried to lock my car with the keypad, but I couldn't. I had to lock it manually. I mean I have had more problems with this car since I had it.

When driving vehicle on highway are crowded high traffic roads the vehicle would suddenly makes a sudden jerk the check engine light comes on traction control lights comes on it losses power I could be going 50 mph and the vehicle drops to 10 mph and won't go faster than 30 mph I would try to push it up to 50 but it still feel like it's going 30 mph, the vehicle is now currently in the shop the can't seem to figured out what's wrong with it I'm still making payments on the vehicle they won't give me a rental without diagnostic so I am out of a vehicle to get me to work and take my kids to school as a single mom please help me I call the place I brought the vehicle from but they won't help it's a nightmare so inconvenience. . . .

31 days after purchasing my vehicle the blower for the heat and air conditioning began to sputter and work sporadically then completely quit a week or so later as a result an essentially new vehicle has no heatband no defrost which I've learned is dangerous when it's raining as I can't see out of the windshield. I believe this is am electrical issue not only because of the way the blower broke but sometimes the power windows will stop working then work again. Warning lights will flash on for no reason then disappear. The gas light will stay on long after gas has been put in the car do that I have to turn the completely off then back on to make it go away.
