general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 200

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was difficult to turn, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle was started, and the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the horn failed to function as intended. The contact later noticed that the driver's and passenger's headrest air bags had deployed unintendedly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic twice; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,879.

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.

Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.

Cv axle are wore out I couldn't drive turning an shocks wore out faster please help.

Reference recall p60 for alternator diode issue. The complaint vehicle has an intermittent issue with a dead short to ground condition within the alternator. Vehicle running will intermittently dead short to ground. The vehicle shuts off unexpectedly in this condition and the battery and electrical system is completely shorted and nonfunctional. In this condition I removed the electrical connection to the alternator and voltage was restored. Replaced the cable and observed the short condition again. It is very disturbing that the scope of this issue was not adequately defined initially. I have escalated this to fca directly and was provided with a reference number 76150991, they have said that there is nothing they can do and the repair is out-of-pocket until Chrysler engineering to the NHTSA makes a different decision. I truly believe there are several people who will unknowingly replace the battery and start driving again, putting their lives and others on the road at risk.

I got a 2013 Chrysler 200 from mega auto outlet in stafford,va. 3-30-20 and tried to take it back to mega auto outlet. I called the dealership the next day about why there wasn't a inspection sticker on the windshield and why was there some much noise from the rear. The salesman then told me that there was a inspection sticker on the windshield and told him there wasn't and I was going to bring the car back because it was illegal to sell a car without a inspection sticker. But he refused to take the car back and said to me if I was to bring the car back that the police would there and not to to bring car back. I took to local garage to find out what was wrong with the car because it was making noises in the rear of car and the airbag light was on. I found tout that there was all kinds of problems with the 2013 Chrysler 200 and it was unsafe to drive. I don't know what else to do?.

While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. It has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. Luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine. . . Until it doesn't again.

This is the second time in 2 years that I had to replace the alternator and battery on this car. I also had to replace fuses on this car. All the hazard lights came on battery light, hazard lights, all the lights in dashboard came on. Care accelerated slowly until it turned off. Couldn't drive.

I purchase my Chrysler 200 around 1/8/2019 today is 6/15/2019 and I am getting this clicking noise around the front end rather you turning or driving and its pulling to the right. I have taking my Chrysler 200 to atleasted (6) repair shops they all gave me different answers about what it going take to fix the problem. I am so confused and disappointed & feeling some kinda way about this Chrysler 200 right now. So dick norris Buick GMC in palm harbor, FL. ( I would never deal with them again) and to the (Chrysler corporation) get it right the first time this is America and I an a veteran.

No check engine light, pressing on brake pedal while at a stop sign or red light, automobile stalls. Put it in park and restart, rpm range varies. Use brakes too much rpm increases need to stop vehicle and restart to get better rpm and dashboard blinks for the mileage.

Every 3 to 6 months, my brakes start scrubbing and I have difficulty stopping my car when driving and as a result of frequent brake replacements. This has become extremely expensive. This issue started in 2014 and it has continued through 2018.

12/22/2017 my front end started bouncing and shaking, on the freeway it got really bad I was scared and my grandsons got very upset and thought we we going to crash. I thought the engine would fall out the bottom, or my left front tire was going to fall off, also the brake lite comes on sometimes every 15 mins. , now today spent all day trying to talk to any Chrysler service person to call me back ! no one did! my car died last night no crank no start im stuck in sacramento at my daughters, I was to work 3:30 to midnight to night 01/15/2018 , really hope I don't lose my job ! went on youtube everyone had the same problem and cant fix. . .

It was my first time purchasing a car. I thought I was going to a legit business, north american auto group. They are rip offs. They sold me a car with a crack windshield and told me I had to fix it myself because they was not making much off the car for them to fix it, they told me they was unable to give me an inspection sticker because they don't do those, the brakes started to give out while I was driving and I went back to let them fix it. They said they do not do brakes and it's not included in my warranty, that's up to me to get changed on my own. Opening and closing the door has left me with a dent on the passenger side. The tires are horrible. The struts needs to be fixed and I need a wheel alignment. All of these things were suppose to be fixed before I even purchased the car.

I was notified of a safety recall and have been trying to schedule for the repair for 2-3 months now with no luck.

I purchased a Chrysler 200, 2013 from manhattan Chrysler. This car is a lemon it has a bad transmission and the anti-lock brakes lock at random. I took the car to manhattan Chrysler for repair when it only had 21,000mi. They recognized the transmission problem after the second visit. Chrysler said that the brake are no longer under warranty. After they rebuild the transmission the vehicle still didn't perform the transmission continued to slip in second gear. I returned the vehicle to Chrysler, now the fourth time in repair. At this point, I was directed to the reconsideration dept. They offered as compensation a one time car payment of $493. 13�I was absolutely insulted because I paid $39. 505. 00 with finance charges. I sought legal help but they weren't much help. I was told by lemon law atty. That litigation would take 2 yrs. And I may not even receive $4,000. 00. Chrysler, totally disregarded my attorney and would not corresponded to any phone calls or letter on my behalf from the atty. I am a veteran and I am totally disabled with a severe back injury and I use a cane to walk because I fall often. My mom recently had a severe stroke she is now in rehab 45min. Away and I don't have transport ion to go check on her. I voluntarily surrender my vehicle to the finance CO. Now my credit report reflex a $16,000. 00. Default for the lemon I purchase at Chrysler. Please help!.

After 14000 miles front brakes need to be replaced. Also own a 2011 Chrysler 200, also needed to replace front brakes at 19000 miles. I believe Chrysler is using poor material for there front brakes. Since I replaced the 2011 brakes, with auto zone parts, I have gone over 40,000 miles more and brakes are still good. Would like to find out if this should be a recall. Thank you.

There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 19,400.

I have not had one particular incident, but everyday squeaking instead. What started out as a very loud screeching sound is now a breaking squeal every time I brake. I have had my chrsyler 200 convertible into the dealership 6 times for the same problem. The last time they said they can't fix it. Obviously, this has been a problem for some time as I've investigated. If they knew this, why would you sell a car to someone? to me, this is a fraudulent act whereby they intentionally misrepresented this vehicle and sold it to me anyway. Now they say Chrysler is aware of the issue, but doesn't know how to resolve it. What an embarrassment to Chrysler, not only that they can't resolve it, but every time I stop, it's an embarrassment to them.

Car has started to make a grinding and squeaking type noises when backing up. Took to my dealer and he told me there aware of the problem, but there is no fix for it right now. We just have to live with it. I told him my wife is afraid to drive it she thinks that the brakes are going to go out. If Chrysler doesn't fix this problem pretty soon, we'll be driving another car from a different manufacture!.

From almost the beginning of owning this car it has made a noise in the left front driver's side. The steering wheel feels lose, like it could come apart. I had brake issues also. The dealer was able to find the brake noise, but not the noise in the left front driver's side. They say there is nothing they can detect. Yet, my car continues to make this noise. Now, I'm not a mechanic, but my car should not be making a noise if everything is alright. Checked on youtube and many people with Chrysler 200's, 2013's are having the same problem. They say their mechanics either cannot find the problem, or it's 1. Steering column 2. Outer tie rod end or sway bar end links 3. Ball joints 4. Bushings can be worn on control arms of sway bar or 4. Tie rod. My dealer cannot find any of that wrong with my car, yet, I believe it is one of these problems. My car was purchased at moore, Chrysler, Jeep, Subaru, at 8700 w. Bell, road in glendale, arizona. I am a single lady, living on social security disability. My dad bought this car for me. I cannot afford to have all these problems fixed if the warranty runs out, and the dealer lets it. I need them to take responsibility and fix my car.

Malfunction light came on during date of purchase. Tech said that it was due to the battery being jump started. Light came on again, and code came back as smoke signal. . . I was told that the smoke test passed. Took car to another dealership. They kept the car for five days and found the following errors: seal for the trans filer missing, leaking esim. The problems were stated as fixed. However to date, hot oil message is coming on. Also the car is cutting off shortly after engine is started. Car rattles when at a stop light and then shuts off.

I have a 2013 Chrysler 200 that was purchased in 11/12, it has 2810 miles on it and is falling apart. I took in to the shop because the brakes were squealing and there was a rubbing sound in the front end. The brakes were replaced and the rotors were scuffed and now the rack n pinion will need to be replaced on Tuesday. The car sounds as if it has 300,000 miles instead of less than 3000. The tappets are rattling when it idles at a stop light and the transmission feels like it slams from 2nd to 3rd. This just started when I was returning home from having it in the shop. I will never purchase another Chrysler product and when this one is paid for in 2015 I will get trade it because the car is not safe, in my opinion. I had planned on giving it to my son but I do not wish him to be hurt in an unsafe vehicle that had mechanical when it had less than 3000 miles on it. I am not reporting the service department because they did listen to me and fixed some of the issues with parts they had in stock, but had to order the rack n pinion as to replace it on Tuesday. I feel these are serious issues that should be addressed before a car owner is hurt or killed. I will be contacting someone possibly the highway safety and transportation board about these issues so that a recall can be issued or it can be noted and kept on file for future problems.

2013 200 limited v6 the brakes squeal from what has been blamed on corrosion, the first in my 20+ cars. The dealer did a resurfacing and added a squeak to the squeals. Now at 37k miles I have to suffer to watch pedestrians turn and look to see what all the noise is when I am coming to a stop at lights. After reading the complaints about headlights I now know why the on-coming cars are always flashing me, the lights are angled up to counter act the issue. On the upside, otherwise would have dumped this heap, the gas mileage is great on the highway only and it is a good riding vehicle for 23k new.

(this is a resubmission of complaint # 10649389 to which I added lighting and corrected the VIN) and the speed that the squealing and squeaking occur are from 15 to 0 mph. 2013 200 limited v6 the brakes squeal from what has been blamed on corrosion, the first in my 20+ cars.

I bought my 200 in December 2012. Starting in January, the car idles very strangely. When I start the car the engine rattles as if it does not want to start. The brakes have always squeaked as if they need to be replaced and when I asked the dealership, I was told that this is normal and every car squeaks. Lastly, it is difficult to drive during the evening time because of the low lighting. I do not believe I will ever by Chrysler again because the car runs as if it 60,000 miles old. I am afraid it is going to break down any moment. I wish I would have bought the Honda accord.
