general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 200 - part 1

Without any warning the car stopped on a busy highway transmission fluid all over the place.

Coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign card jerks starters then shuts down. Almost got in an accident two or three times because of this safety situation I am having with the drivetrain and the engine stall. This happens all the time from the time I purchased the vehicle.

Everything was fine I get my oil changed regularly, I get fluid top offs, I keep it well maintained. The other day while driving on the freeway my car slowly started to die out, the rpm was hitting at 4-5 but my speed was only 30 mph. This is my only vehicle I'm my mother's soul provider, taking her to after chemo check ups, to her liver doctor appointments. I was told this car has this problem alot. I was hoping something could be done to help me out. .

The vehicle shuts off while driving at any given time. It started about 4 months ago while I was on the freeway in the fast lane. No warning lights or sounds came on. I costed over to the left shoulder because it was rush hour. When I tried to restart it, it sounded like it was stalling and I couldn't jump it either. It was like the engine got hot even though the gauge didn't say it was. After I let it set for about 30 minutes it started right back up. I thought it was a one time thing, but it's been doing it a lot more and I've had to sit and wait for longer periods of time. I searched online and found the symptoms of what it's doing and it appears there was a recall and investigation about the issue. If I remember correctly there was over 13,000 vehicles recalled for the powertrain module or something like that but when I searched my vehicle it says no recall.

As I was driving down a slight slope while braking to try to come to a stop, the car died / shut off. Within the few seconds that I was trying to slow to a stop, the brakes stopped working, various lights turned on the dash (I can't remember which), and then the car shut off entirely. If there was a car or something in front of me, I would not have been able to stop because the brakes weren't working. This problem has been reported numerous times through various online forums/sites. There was no warning, message, or other symptom to indicate this would happen. This car also has stalling issues that has been complained of by other Chrysler 200 owners as well. Both stalling and shutting off poses a serious concern to all drivers.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to upshift out of first gear. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was awaiting diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Car continues to stall, new pcm, new tpim, new throttle body, new fuel pump. No check engine lights, stalls when coming to stop or heavy acceleration. Huge saftety concern.

Car shuts off randomly while driving and will not start back right away.

My 2013 Chrysler 200 has stalled or shut off completely while driving. The steering wheel and brakes lock up and the car just stops running. There are never any warnings or lights ahead of time to indicate there is any problem. The car simply just shuts off while driving and will not start back up right away. After sitting for about an hour untouched, the car will start right up and run fine until it happens again. No mechanic can diagnose it because there are no lights or codes to run to say what the issue is. My third time this happened, I was in a busy intersection attempting to make a turn and was almost t-boned when my car couldn't move out of the intersection. After the car shuts down and I attempt to restart right away, all the lights on the dash light up, but none stay on once the car stops cranking or even when the car does actually start up again. This is very dangerous for myself and any one else I may have in my car with me. I am a mother and I do not feel safe ever having my kids in my car with me. I've read online that this has happened to so many others but no recall will ever be done to fix this issue.

All of sudden I felt a jolt in the gear shift and then I lost power steering and I couldn't step on the gas to accelerate . So I pulled over the best I could, on the highway going 55 mph. I shut the car off and when I turned it back on after giving it a couple minutes it was turning over but not turning on. The engine was completely stalled. No warning lights or check engine lights. It was completely random. I had to call family to come pick me and my daughter up. After a few hours we came back a new tried it. It worked but after driving it an hour it did the same thing again. I checked the recalls for my car and their isn�t, however when I read up on forums and my car has the same issues as the other 2013 Chrysler 200s. With engine stalling and greater possibility of an engine fire. I think the make and model of the vehicle needs to be investigated. I had my toddler in the car and it was frightening. I'm diligent about keeping up maintenance on my vehicles and if any inclination and or warning I would've been at the mechanic.

Car is not picking up speed when your in drive, jerks badly, cuts off in the middle of driving, keeps killing the battery, drives about 5 miles an hr the max. Car has been at the Chrysler dealership for over 6 months and it is still not fixed. They are saying that it's still doing the same thing as when I brought it in. Nothing is being done to resolve the issues.

My Chrysler 200 has been turning off out of no where. No check engine light or anything turns on. My cars horn goes off randomly in the middle of driving and when put into park. I had 3 recalls and recently went to get them fixed thinking it would help , since one of the recalls was reprogramming the main module of the car. Still to this day it turns off on me. Just the other day I was in town making a turn and it stopped before I was able to complete the turn. It's also turned off on me many times when I'm driving in one direction. After it turns off I am able to re start it, and other times I have to wait several minutes before I'm able to get it turned back on.

Throttle body goes bad every 3 months and goes into limp mode.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that that while driving at different speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer (847-565-2442, located at 208 w golf rd, schaumburg, IL 60195) and was told that there was no recall.

In July 2019, my 2013 Chrysler 200, that I purchased brand new in 2014 just stopped. Wouldn't go forward or backward. I was stuck in the middle of the road on a steep hill. I went from 45 mph to nothing without any warning. No warning lights ever came on and the car wasn't acting any different than it had the million times I had taken it to the dealership for it being jerky when taking off. They repeatedly told me there were no issues found and the car was fine. I was and still am the soul owner of this car that didn't even have 85,000 miles on it. I spoke with Chrysler several times about my warranty and the now bad transmission. They told me to take it to the closest Chrysler dealership. Which I had it towed there since the car was no longer drivable. I was contacted a few days later by the service department telling me it was, in fact the transmission and would need a new transmission. This car was out of warranty by 30 days give or take and was still under warranty by miles. But since it's an either-or warranty, I was now out of a car that I had paid almost $30,000 for, unless I wanted to go in half with Chrysler and pay them an additional $2113. 44 to replace or fix the current transmission. The transmission is a closed transmission but didn't require any service until 96,000 miles per the owner's manual. Had I had, my then 9-month-old grandson with me when the car went from 45 mph to nothing and a vehicle had been behind me, we both could have been seriously injured or even killed. The car never gave any warning that there was an issue before there was an issue. I find this completely unsatisfactory as a parent, nana, and quite frankly a human. Had I known of this website when this happened, I would have reported it then! hope you are able to make this kind of situation not happen to someone else.

As I was doing 70 mph on the hwy my car started slowing down to 30 mph and would not pick up speed, the symbols that came on the car were for the electronic throttle control and the electronic stability control. I pulled over and turned the car off and after a minute or so, I restarted the car and continued on, after being able to drive only a few feet, it started again. Once I made it home, I let the car sit overnight and when I drove into work this morning after 14 minutes on the hwy, it started again.

I was driving on the freeway when I noticed smoke coming from underneath my hood and the same time my car was loosing power I glanced at my warning lights in which there was no warning indication that my car was hot nor did the engine light appeared. I finally pulled to the side of the freeway almost causing a pileup with a big rig I proceeded to open the hood when I noticed oil throughout the engine I take it to the dealership in which they contacted the warranty dept in which the car was still under warranty. My car sat at the dealership for approximately 60 to 90 days the warranty dept wanted various pic of the engine a dionogstic test was performed the outcome was everything was properly running the dealer ship found a piston ring that came off the piston and a new engine had to be put in that's when the warranty dept denied my claim stating it was my fault because I changed my oil in which I did at least 4 to5 times a day I mailed them proof of my purchases of the oil supplies I bought but was still denied the car dealership took it upon themselves to payoff the remaining balance of 10000 because I couldn't afford to buy a new engine which was under warranty can you please assist me the car dealership has been avoiding me as well as my phone calls iam a sports official in which I lost alot of work due to no transportation 916 9059587 thank you for your time.

Last night my electronic throttle control (etc) light came on. I made it home just fine and the light was only on for a few secs. This morning I turned the corner on a street my car wouldn't go over 20 mph. The etc light came on and stayed on. I was able to make it back home. I've been doing research and this seems to be a popular (not popular) problem. My car has approx. 78,000 miles. It has not been taken to the dealer yet.

I have to replace the throttle body, air filter& pcv valve at 74,516 miles. Is this typical with this type of vehicle. The cost is 823. 19 and not under warranty.

2013 Chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair recall notice 16v-240.

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.

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.

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. . . .

We filed a complaint for this issue previously and the same problem has occurred again. Will take to dealer when they open tomorrow to have diagnosed. Called Chrysler and spoke to paul, who stated that we need to call back after the dealer has a chance to look at the issue. Chrysler # 1-800-247-9753 previous complaint listed below: date complaint filed: 07/28/2013 component(s): power train date of incident: 07/26/2013 NHTSA id number: 10532198 all products associated with this complaint expand details close 0 associated documents crash:no fire:no number of injuries:0 number of deaths:0 manufacturer: Chrysler (fca us llc) vehicle identification no. (VIN): 1c3ccbbbxdn. . . Summary: I started the 2013 Chrysler 200 and shifted the transmission into "drive". With my foot still on the brake pedal, I checked the mileage on our new car and it read 139 miles. I could feel the transmission engage then I felt what seemed to be a second engagement before I took my foot off the brake. As soon as I began driving I noticed the vehicle was not shifting out of first (1st) gear. I stopped the car and shifted through park, neutral and manual in an attempt to free up the transmission but when I started driving again it still would not transition out of first (1st) gear even when put in the manual shift mode. I drove it directly to the dealer without turning off the vehicle, and after a test drive they confirmed that it was not shifting but stated they could not find a code indicating any problem. They restarted the vehicle and it began to function normally again. The dealer said there was nothing they could do, and to bring it back if it happened again.

Car drove perfectly fine when purchased new 18mnths. Ago. But after having it for 3mnths. Things started to go wrong. First incident was with the cruise control it has failed to shut off for me 3x. Applying pressure to the brakes didn't help or solve the problem either. After multiple times of pressing the off button it shut off after putting the car in neutral. Took it to car dealer ship & the computer was updated but no issues found. On many occasions my car has seemed to have shifting problems especially coming out of 1st gear. Took it into the dealership & no issues found the mechanic said car seemed fine but to return if problem returned. The problem still comes and goes but I try to ignore it because the shifting issue didn't seem any worse. But now recently in the last couple months another problem is occurring my tire pressure is always off checking it almost daily. I brought my car in and purchased new tires. The problem with the tire pressure still exists along with it pulling bad to the right, & I'm able to feel shaking in the steering wheel at as low as 25mph, reaching speeds 50+ the shaking is only felt at times, continues to pull & feels like I don't have complete control of the car. I took my car in again a week ago to the tire center and I was told they could feel what I was feeling but couldn't find the issue. I requested a alignment but they also said that was unnecessary because the alignment was fine. The shaking and pulling is now getting much worse and today we picked up yet another problem. Well stopped/parked car idles hard & feels as if its gonna stall out. A friend overlooked my car. He climbed underneath and had me apply a small about of pressure on the accelerator. Said he a whistling/sputter sound like its hesitating. He felt the shaking in the steering wheel when the rpms where at 1 & parked. Only approx. 32,000miles.

I was driving and all of a sudden I came to a red light and the engine went to shaking really bad and it cut off then the engine light came on it blinked a couple of time so I went to park it the next morning had it put on a machine it read cylinder 2 misfire so I took it to Chrysler dealership where they told me it just needed an software update which I clearly explained what the machine was reading from the code from the engine light now the car completely shut off and didn't not crank up keep trying heard a popping noise like something got caught in the fan and gasoline was spilling from the rear of the car 13 Chrysler 200.
