Car shut down when slowing and turning and randomly. There is not warning and car will not immediately start back up. Mostly on city streets but in traffic areas and curved roads. So when turning left and slowing down for that turn it just shuts down and I barely make to pull it to the side of the road and I had to have it towed home when it wouldn't start back up right away. This has happened 5-6 times in the last 3 months after I have purchased the car from instant auto.

The engine completely shuts off without warning when at an idle or slowing down to make a stop. It has done this now about 12 times within the last month.

9 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2019

My Chrysler 200 2013 touring stalled on me while coming to a stop at a stop sign I was stuck in a intersection for almost an hour and had to direct traffic around me so I wouldn't get hit. This is not the first time this has happened. This is the 5th time my car has stalled on me and I've only had it for 2 months, stalled twice on busy intersections I could have died. It stalled on me while I was going 55 mph and the lanes were so tight I almost couldn't get to the side of the road without getting hit and when I finally did the lanes were so close that I couldn't park on the side of the road for safety without being terrified someone going to come down the hill and not see me and hit me. Also I was just doing a beach cruise one time and it stalled on me I had to park and wait like a hour and 30 minutes for help. Another time I was doing a right turn onto my house and the engine just shut off so I had to make a wide right turn with barely any steering power could've been a major accident. The car just loses it power and shuts off without any warning. I've gotten a diagnostics and nothing showed wrong with the car, but there is something wrong. I've seen many of the same problems people are having online and the problem is not getting fixed at all. I'm seeing people replace fuel pumps, starters, batteries, alternators and no fix for the stalling just wasting money. Thousands of people online on sites are struggling with this car. People cars are stalling on them and are almost getting them killed. Chrysler is not doing anything to help these people, no recalls on the car and people are taking their cars to the dealership and wasting money because the problem still occurs even after the dealership. Really sad there needs to be something done with these cars my life is in danger and I'm only 19 years. The Chrysler 200 needs to be recalled very dangerous car.

11 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2015

My husband was driving in the fast lane on the expressway with out 3 grandchildren in the car and the engine just shut off. . . They all could have been killed had he not manage to coast the vehicle onto the side of the road. . . Took a trip to take my granddaughter to college 2 hours away and the engine again shut off while driving. . . Because of this malfunction I have to stop driving my car and this is outrageous because I am afraid something will happen to my family if we continue driving. This has happened to us at least 5 times and we have sit for at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before the car starts again.

12 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2015

I was driving down the highway leaving work, I got up to roughly 55mph when my car just shut off while driving down the road. I was told by the dealership that the alternator failed without warning. They can not give me an explanation as to why a vehicle that is less than 2 years old and less than 30k miles suddenly stopped without warning. There is currently a recall issued by Chrysler for this exact issue but my vehicle is not one of the ones covered under the recall according to Chrysler. No check engine or check battery lights prior to the incident. At the time of incident nearly every light on my dash lit up and the vehicle just shut off, the speedometer went from 55 to 0 and I was luckily able to coast off of the highway without incident since I had just gotten on and was getting up to speed I had not left the right lane yet. Had I been anywhere else on the highway this incident could have easily led to serious injury or death. I have spoken with the dealership and they claimed there is nothing they can do for me, I have also spoken with a lemon law attorney and was informed that since it did not end in serious injury or death that it must happen again before they can help me. I do not feel safe putting my wife or infant child in to a vehicle that just shut off at a speed of 55mph.
