Cars tipn needs replaced after 35,000 miles. Car initially set all dash lights off, one front and one rear led light remained on even after key was taken out and never went out leading to dead battery. The car died on me while driving it about 20mph as I was attempting to pull out onto roadway causing near accident. Been without a car for last 3 weeks while trying to get diagnosis and repair. Total cost from going to several repair shops to get diagnosis and part to replace it is estimated to cost $1500-2000 which I cant afford. I am making payments on a car that I cant even drive. I am a college student and this was my first purchase of a car with my own money. This part needs to be recalled. I have read multiple complaints with the same issue . One Chrysler repair shop made comment that he was surprised they havent had a recall on that part due to all the ones he has seen needing replaced. This needs to be fixed and Chrysler needs to be accountable.
Error throttle control shuts off in the middle of traffic.
When decelerating at either a red light or to turn, car will completely shut off with no warnings or check engine lights. This started almost a month ago. Then today everything locked up. All electrical lights came on along with the check engine light. There was no power when trying to get the vehicle back home. It should have been towed.
The car has to much torque that the vehicle slides and loses control and almost caused an accident. The steering is to lose when I turn it moves to quick and the movement of the vehicle can't catch up.
As I was driving I started to smell something burning one of my children began to cough as I looked back at him and then out the windshield again I seen smoke coming from the hood area so I immediately pulled off the rode and got both of my children out of the car as we moved away from the car the smoke began to get thicker and the next thing that happened was my car was up in flames. No lights on the dashboard came on the temperature of the car was normal no alarms going off on car before or while car was smoking. I was on a city street.
The sensor that is under the passenger seat, signalling that an individual is sitting in the seat, has needed to be replaced by the dealership twice now as a connection becomes loose and will dis-attach. This will alert my car to service airbags.
I am asking you to issue a safety recall on my vehicle. You investigated the 2015 model for the same issue and it was recalled as a result. The 2016 is just as dangerous. Is there a reason why the lives of people who drive 2015 models are more valuable than mine or my children? it turns off while driving with no warning and leaves me in the middle of intersections! the steering cuts off too. I have to first struggle to control the steering, shift into park, push start, and wait, while I brace myself for the impact that is about to shatter my spine or kill my children! it began as soon as I hit 60k miles a few weeks ago and happens every time I drive it. It happens mostly when I am turning, sometimes when braking for a light, and sometimes it doesn't actually turn off, it just seems like it is suddenly in neutral and makes revving sounds when I hit gas but wont go, that's when message says 'service transmission'. I was making a u turn and almost hit a pole! it may start up with first try, or a few tries. It hasn't happened in high speeds on highway but that may be because I am too afraid to go that route anymore. Obviously this is a manufacturing defect. I paid cash for this vehicle and should not have to pay a penny to fix this, but if I or mine are injured I will spend every cent I have on a lawsuit. Thank you for your understanding in this extremely important matter.
Car has shut off while driving last few mornings. It happened in the exact same spot each morning. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 mph, the car just stalls, says "place in p to start" and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. This has happened with several cars behind me and have almost been rear ended because of it. Taking into dealership tomorrow to see what they're going to do. After reading other stories very similar to mine, I'm not very hopeful.
My car shuts off while running and tells me to switch to park. The steering wheel and breaks lock up. This happens mid drive or when I turn a corner and is very dangerous. I had this same problem on my 2015 Chrysler 200 and now I am having the same issue with my 2016 Chrysler. This needs to be fixed this is a manufacturer issue.
I bought my car in September 2019 around 25000 miles. In October the service airbag light came on . I took it to Chrysler and Jeep who charged over $3300 to fix . They said they talked to Chrysler who would cover $3000 and I had to pay the $300. I did that and the light is back on. It pops up ever couple minutes while I'm driving and it doesn't matter if I'm going 15 mph or 60 mph.
Tl the contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. While driving approximately 20-25 mph and slowing down around a corner, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to deacon's Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (835 som center rd, mayfield, OH 44143, (440) 442-0424) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
Car suddenly died in traffic and wouldn't start back. Car has 66k miles. After getting a jump we got car home and hooked battery to a charger. Next time I went to drive it it died again and I was able to get it started back but the instrument panel blinks on and off and all of the warning lights start going on and off. Currently unable to drive it because it will just die while driving and with instrument panel blinking it doesn't show accurate speed. Please recall this car before it kills someone!.
Car keep stalling out.
Doesn't start. Every light came on. Everything needed to be serviced air bags key fob not detected air bags needed service parking brake needs service. Check engine light on. Battery light on. Can only start with a charge once charge removed car doesn't start. The car was stationary. I recently found out that the car was on the recall list, but I never received notification from the car company.
Within 1 mile, my car shut off twice while coming to a stop. The screen on the dash said to �shift to p to start�. I did so, and then it sounded as if my car didn't want to start back up and took me three tries the first time and two the second time to get it started. Now looking into it these cars have a history of this same problem since the beginning of them being made, but nothing is being done about it.
Car shuts off without warning on the highway.
Takata recall. After I reached 64,000 miles may vehicle turned off while driving to work. It took at least 5 times for the motor to turn over. As soon as power was restored battery light came on. Now the battery light is off but the check engine light is on. Since then I have taken the car to my local mechanic and was told it was the battery. I've had my battery tested and that's not the problem. There now s a major electrical issue that is wrong. I have tried to drive my car since and it continues to turn off. This is only not a hazard to myself but to others that are driving because it abruptly stops in the middle of traffic. Chrysler I need you to investigate this issue.
A couple weeks ago, I was at stop light my car stalled, I put in park it restarted. I couldn't put on my hazards or anything to warn the car behind . It happened again on this Saturday on the highway in the fast lane the dashboard was blank, the radio stopped playing, so merged in the slow lane without using the brake then everything came back on the speed gauge was trying to get my current speed. It doesn't happen all the time but it's scary feeling because everything on dashboard is computerized.

The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I've been into the service department over 6 times for the same issues. This car is so unsafe to drive. I believe this is a transmission issue. My car creates a very hard jerking when switching gears or speeding up. It also shakes when the air conditioning is on and I am only getting about 15 mi to the gallon when it should be 27. I've left multiple complaints since I have had this vehicle, worked with the device department, worked with Chrysler and the situation and safety concern is still not rectified. Please look into this. It's my only transportation and I would like to keep myself, my 3 babies, and other drivers safe. Thank you!.
When I'm driving the car shuts off and also when I turn the corner or hit a bump the buzzer goes off and then it shuts down also it has a very poor gas mileage and I get a tournament the shock from the car while I touch it . When I am driving at a normal rate of speed or if I go to take off it will shut off if I'm in the passing lane for unknown reasons it shuts off when I touch the brakes or if I'm sitting waiting for light it makes a humming noise . All of this happens only when the car is in motion this started back in February 2018 and still continues to this date today's date is may 13, 2019.

Tamara recall I was hit in the front and side drivers and not one of my air bags went off from the impact. I was forced by the other car into a curb. Lights would flicker constantly even after battery was changed twice. From the cause of the accident I have had major injuries sustained.
2016 Chrysler 200s with just over 27,000 miles started on fire due to as of yet undetermined cause, 1000 miles after being inspected by 2 dealerships, and about 2000 miles after oil change and inspection by a third dealership. The car was declared total loss by state farm insurance. (claim 228365z08, mike o'brien) the car was listed in well maintained condition at the time of loss. At this time state farm has been told by there corporate that no further investigation as to cause will be conducted. The fire happened on the side of 275n near eureka road exit on 9 April 2019. My wife melissa our 8 year old daughter lily, and my mother-in law were in the vehicle ag the time of the fire. (michigan state police metro south post #22, report #22-3445-19) -oil changed at suburban Chrysler in novi before leaving for the approximately 1000 mile trip and week in FL. -during stay, the car smelled hot so she took it to sunset Chrysler (florida reg: mv-01277) in sarasota, FL. Personnel at dealership were rude, and told her her car's state of cleanliness was causing the smell. -my wife needed to drive home in a couple of days and was still concerned. One thing that I had her check was coolant which was low and had not been noticed by sunset. She then took the car to a second dealership (douglas Jeep Chrysler Dodge ram, FL reg: mv-43329) for inspection. Douglas, while more polite, conducted coolant system and other checks, but determined there was no issue with the vehicle. The service department guaranteed my wife that the vehicle was safe to drive back to michigan and even went on to say that they would not let an unsafe vehicle leave the shop. -that same night I contacted Chrysler who initiated their own investigation. (58355399)fca refused to comment on the source of the fire or to honor the warranty on the car.
My car suddenly turned off as I was making a turn. I have fixed the car 2 times from the same thing and this will be the 3rd. I want to see if there's something associated with a recall about the computer module. It stalls to turn on, and when it does it won't go as far as a mile.
While driving the hole system will shut down at random times. All the screens all things that light up. Not every time, but sometimes. Then when you go to switch gears to back up the back up camera doesn't always switch to back up. It will stay on the same screen or go black. This part actually happens a few times a week.
My car stalls when I start to drive. If I don't let it idle in park for a good 15 minutes it will stall and tells me to put it in park. Once it stalls it is difficult to restart. Also the airbag light keeps coming on. If I hit the smallest pothole the airbag light comes on and it gives me a message stating service airbags. Also the driverside seat came untracked and cannot move it forward or backwards without it making a weird noise.
My car have been given me problems for about 6months. Engine light is on. Car keep cutting off in the middle of traffic. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer, I know six times before my factory warranty ran out, and they could never fix it. Took it today and they told me my warranty is out, and now I have to start doing random work to it to find out what's wrong. The employee of Chrysler checked the car to see if it was as giving a code for what is wrong. She said it was not showing a code. The waited until warranty ran out, to make me pay for it. Congratulations hey could never find out what was wrong with it. I don't know what to do. I still owe 19000. 00 on it. Please help. Kimberly bunch 7/18/19.
The vehicle stalls while in motion, it has stalled 5 times within 10 minutes and I no longer can safely drive it. All occasions were on a city street while braking. The car shows on the dashboard that it is shifting gears even while remaining at one speed and then the system shuts down. It occasionally shifts hard and/or makes an odd noise in the engine.
My car was driving just fine until I went to reverse out of the parking spot I was parked in. I pushed the brake down to release the emergency brake and all of a sudden my brake got harder to push down. It displays on my screen the �brake� is on but it's not. It almost feels like my brakes went out but it's so hard to push them down. Luckily it happened while I was in a parking lot rather then on a main road or even the highway. I took it to the dealership and was told it was my brake booster. It's no way after two years of having this car that anything this serious with my brakes should've happened at all.
Service air bag system and service parking brake notifications appeared as well as the check engine light car would not shift, the screen went in and out while the vehicle loss power and wouldn't move. The transmission just reved this car has major issues all of this happed while driving.
While driving the vehicle at around 30 mph the service airbag system and service parking brake system notifications came on along with the check engine light and traction control disabling. As that happened my touchscreen in the vehicle went in and out and the car became hesitant to accelerate. I pulled over and tried to set the parking brake and then release it afterwards the car really became hard to move. Transmission just reved and the car eventually started accelerating.
At times will not start . Engine dies while going down the highway. Transmission loses power then after resting it will go again then out of nowhere it stalls again.
