Car loss all power while driving down a city street in motion could not steer or do nothing would not crank up after about 10 minutes it started right up. This has happened 5 times while driving very dangerous. This has been going on for about a year. The last time it did this is February 18, 2021.
On multiple occasions the car has just shut off on its own while in motion. This has happened at least 10 times. Does not matter what speed you are going, the engine will just shut off on its own. The most recent incidents were on a highway going around 55mph and happened twice within a 8 minute period. The first time was going over a bridge and the car shut off. Waited about 3 minutes and the car started. 5 minutes later the car shut off again. Did not restart for another 10 minutes.
It died while driving on a highway multiple times. No check engine light no warning and no control of the vehicle. Repairs sometimes right away and sometimes after an hour or more.
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.
After a few months of having dtc come up for evap and misfire then disappear just a quick as it came up, my vehicle has recently began stalling out while driving, specifically while decelerating or idling. The battery was replaced 2 years ago and tests good every time, as does the alternator, starter, wires, connectors and sensors. Nobody can find any dtc on the obdii or anything else. It's easy to replicate but impossible to decide why. I've talked to the dealership about possible recalls from 2012 concerning the pcm as well as chatted with a few people on the Chrysler website and nobody wants to help. This is a very serious situation, as I can prove with video from my dash cam and back up cam. The people on the Chrysler website were very rude, and the dealership was not willing to stand behind the product either without charging $300 just to diagnose. It's says right on the website "what is a safety recall? safety recalls include any problem encountered with an fca us product related to the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety of the occupants. Fca us llc will correct the problem, at no charge, even if the vehicle is out of warranty and you are not the original owner. " as well as "recall faqs fca us regards the safety and security of our customers and their families as paramount. Please see our list of faqs below to learn more about recalls and the precautions we take to keep you safe.

My vehicle shut down on the highway at a high rate of speed (70mph). My steering was also not working at the time. Was able to finally pull over. Restarted the vehicle and it was fine. This is very dangerous.
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.
During driving in the rain the battery light comes on the steering wheel locks into place then after complete stop steering is back. The check engine light comes on and the thermostat rises to the maximum then that light comes on. Then after 5min or so temp goes back down both engine and temp lights go off but battery light stays on until car is turned off. This only happens when it's heavily raining.

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.
After driving for a short amount of time ( 20-30 minutes) - when making turns or turning the steering wheel or going over speed bumps I start hearing a knocking / clunking noise coming from the left side of the car. The sound makes me very uneasy and it make you feel like the front end of the car is about to come apart. Not sure what is causing this problem, but it is a problem, and you should not be hearing this sound what so ever in any car! there needs to be a recall because after looking up this issue online, it didn't take long to find that their are a lot of other Chrysler owners experiencing the same problem!.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the steering wheel started to shake violently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician advised the contact that the tires needed to be replaced. The tires were replaced but the failure continued.

I bought this car September 14 2013. With in a week it was in the shop due to alignment issues and other cosmetic issues, fixed cosmetic issues and did an alignment on the car with in 4 days the alignment went out again was back in the shop again and underwent another alignment had the car back for about 4 days again alignment was off again and during a drive to michigan the floor got hot. The next day the floor got hot again and the car shut off. I had to take it to the shop again. After another 5 days the alignment was out again. They but it on the road force and the alignment was fixed. Now my car shakes, the engineer at Chrysler said its the tires, replaced tired and it still shakes. This car is unsafe for my family and is a nightmare on trying to get them to get me a new car. Thank you for listening.
When I first got my car I noticed it pulling to the right took it to the dealership and they charged me $85 for alignment and it still continued to do it took it back they said it was in the steering I can't remember the service man's exact wording. I was driving about 3 weeks ago I was on the freeway going about 60 miles an hr and I had a blow out on front passenger side thankfully I was able to pull over on shoulder safely. Took the tire to our dealership and he said it was worn from the inside not just normal wear and tear. Anyway we called Chrysler and we asked them why didn't they have a recall on this steering problem they said they haven't had any complaints. This is very dangerous cause I have to hold tightly to my steering wheel to keep it from not going to to the right. Plus I see there are others who are having the same problems with brakes squealing and the car jerking into gear please let me know what I can do about these problems. My car has just turned a year old. Thank you.
My transmission has had nothing but problems shifting,racing rpms,banging and clunky plus the gears are searching. The software has been updated along with its recalls. Because there is no code when present or engine light. Chrysler will not call it not working. But they state its working fine because no codes or engine light. The dealer gave me a harx time with it as a trade in. The brakes have been an issue and they hear the noise byt state they are fine when in fact they dont always stop when pressing down. My front end and steering has been taken apart and replaced so many times . The front end scapes clunks still. I explained to both Chrysler corp and arrigo Dodge Chrysler in west palm beach. Im still having problems. The car feels like I lose control of the car. I have a bad car service records state all the repairs. And the dealer is no help when the car was bumber to bumber coverage . All they did was year down take apart which they have done shotty work. And ripped off me . I have no recourse than to be stuck with this so called dream car of mine. $30,000 investment down the tubes.
We test drove a different car than the one we took delivery on and it seemed fine. We took delivery on this vehicle and have trouble since we drove it off the lot. When starting from a slow roll or a dead stop when you accelerate it violently pulled to the right. We returned this car and it was serviced. They did an alignment and checked tire pressure. It was improved but still pulled. Secondly when driving on a less than perfect road the driver continually feels like a loss of control could happen at any time not to mention driving in windy conditions or the snow here in michigan. Recently we had the vehicle back to a local dealer and was told the car has torque pull and it's normal. I asked about the wondering all over the road and the service rep said the service tech didn't notice anything wrong. Note the road it was drove on is less than five old concrete. This vehicle requires two hands all the time. We feel as if there is a problem with this model Chrysler 2013 200 and is not being addressed by Chrysler. I have looked in several forums and have read about several other owners having the same trouble. Any assistance in resolving this problem would be great.
