general problems of the 2016 Chrysler 200 - part 2

Parking brake will spontaneously engage while driving on city street going less than 15mph. Check turns on but no codes and will not turn off. Biggest issue lately is that car does not recognize key fab. Batteries have been changed and neither key fab is recognized. Car can be started, get out and get back in and fab is jot recognized. Has left me stranded many times. Then when go back, it suddenly works.

My car is burning more oil than it should and the car does not warn you when you are completely out of oil. Instead, it allows you to drive the vehicle and while on the road, it shuts off. I have had my oil change completed 2 weeks ago and I have driven 1,000 miles since then. My oil level is now below the min level. This vehicle does not have a dashboard indicator and the "oil life" percentage is not accurate.

My Chrysler 200 dashboard is cutting out while driving and stalls.

As I was in motion going about 20 mph with the car in drive (d), the car displayed a message as seen in the photo that states shift to park (p) to start. As, that message is displayed the steering wheel and the brakes lock up while the car is slowing down so you cannot shift the car to park until the car has come to a complete stop. Once the car comes to a complete stop, I shifted my car back to park and tried to restart the car. The car wouldn't restart right away. The engine and transmission would make a noise as if it were trying to start with the rpm's fluctuating to about 3 (3000 rpms) then go back to 0 then jump to 1 (1000 rpms) then back to 0 rpms where the engine would give out. I would have to wait a minute, while in the middle of traffic, then it would restart and run normally again. I called Chrysler corporate, due to the fact of having the whole transmission replaced while under warranty due to a transmission problem that grew after purchasing the car. Leslie from Chrysler gave me case id #: 34798487. I scheduled an appointment with darcars Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of silver spring located on 12511 prosperity dr, silver spring, MD 20904 to bring the car to get serviced and the issue looked at on August 7th 2018 at 10:45 am. I am currently waiting for a diagnosis of the issue to be addressed by the dealership. Please see pictures attached for more information.

Vehicle sounds as if it wants to shut off when standing idle sometimes and even sometimes as I'm slowing down. And recently took a road trip had trouble with cruise control as if it was accelerating on it's on or getting stuck. I checked my VIN number and found no particular recalls specific to the VIN. However, I received an email that the Chrysler 200 itself had recalls relating to electrical, steering and overall safety of the vehicle. The problems I've been having seem to be closely related to those specified in recall.

Exactly one month after purchasing my Chrysler 200 Nov 28, 2017bthe engine light came on during short drive to the movies, and the engine began to stall while waiting at a red light. I had to pay almost $400 to replace ignition coil. Then a month ago, 06/27/2018 another ignition coil failed costing me $250, luckily when the coil failed I was in line at a starbuck's drivethru. Now another coil has failed leaving the car undriveable again, and now unable to afford repair. Unfortunately the warranty I purchased with the vehicle does not cover this part and after recently reading reviews on this particular vehicle I have come to learn that this is a recurring issue that has not been called out, yet this vehicle is still be sold to people. I strongly feel that it is a safety concern, because in this last incident my coil went out while driving on the highway and my car began to stall in the middle of rush hour traffic during a heat advisory. I also strongly believe that the part the ignition coils are faulty and are cause for great concern.

I had a 2016 Chrysler 200 limited. If you need to have 18,000 miles on the vehicle yet and I bought it brand new. On June 5th 2018 I had to drop my daughter off at school I was about eight blocks away from her school and a gentleman pulled me over to let me know that I needed to get out my car because underneath my car was on fire. So I turn the corner to get away from the school in the park cars cut the car off and got out the car next thing I know the car blows up the fire department comes and put the fire out. But my car is at a total loss. No one knows why the car caught on fire or blew up because they said it's too much damage done to the car.

When vehicle need small maintenance such as oil change or system update, vehicle electric (computer system) shuts down not allowing driver to even turn on hazards on. Vehicle has to towed to shop.

After a week of owning the vehicle, which was purchased from enterprise, my check engine light came own while on the highway with my family (wife and year ten month babe). We called the dealership and scheduled and appointment. Turns out the battery was dead. Got that fix and then while driving back home on the highway my airbag light came on with the check engine light as well. At the moment the light is still on and waiting to get my car in to my local dealership. I do not feel safe driving my Chrysler, even though it's a new car, but I need to get to work and a bus can't get me there. I hope this is a small fix and I can have my airbag system working again. I would feel safe. I have read and hear similar complaints of new owners with the the issues and dealerships refusing to service the work, even on cars with 30,000 miles. Please have this looked at or investigated, it would be a shame if something happens.

The car first started off with the screen turning on and off while driving. . We didn't think much of it however a few month ago the car began to turn off in the midst of driving. Before turing off the car would begin to yank as if resisting. We proceeded with purchasing a new battery. That was 4 month ago. We are now here 12/2018 and the car has once again started to yank while driving, turn off when going 10-40 mph and now has the check engine, traction and voltage light flashing. Once it is turned off and turned back on after a few mins. It's as if nothing ever happened. All this happened while driving in city street and turning.

Bought new still under bumper to bumper warranty at about 24000 miles while driving the car entering the highway from the access road at approximately 37mph my vehicle just shut off almost as if had rebooted like a computer the wheel did not lock up first warning light read "airbag failure" then right after my parking/emergency brake light came on then tire pressure all while my shift knob flashed "p" if it wasn't a backup on the highway I would have been hit and caused a major pile up luckily I was able to engage the hazards and drift one lane over to the break down lane with no power to the brakes I had to press harder as I made it over to the side all of those lights went off, I was able to restart the car and then the engine light came on before I made it to my appointment at the dealer the engine light had gone off too. They could not recreate nor can tell me for sure what caused the failure.

24,000 miles bought 8 months ago while entering the highway which traffic turned out to be backed up and stop and go, doing 37 mph from the access road merging into traffic at tat speed before the slow down my car shut off mid merge(almost as if it restarted like a computer) first there was a light and an airbag failure message then the emergency brake light came on (as if I had used the parking brake) then the tire pressure light followed by engine light the wheel did not lock up and as I had hit traffic I was luckily able to drift over to the side of the highway narrowly avoiding being hit by the cars behind me all lights except the engine light went off after about 30 seconds I had to try twice but I was as able to restart the car by the next morning the engine light had gone away I have since taken the car into the dealer and they have no idea what caused it or if it could happen again, I am waiting to hear from Chrysler but I am not sure they are taking this a serious as I am had it not bee for the traffic I could have been injured or worse.

At times when you are driving the car , the steering wheel is hard to turn like it has something blocking it and you think it's not going to turn . It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it's more frequent than others. Also at times when you start to accelerate there is delay in response causing the car to stall and when the car will resume.

I had just finished reversing to adjust my parallel parking in a residential street. I placed the hazard lights on and put the car into "p". After my daughter got in, I took off the hazard lights and place my car on "d". In order for me to change gears I have to press down the brake, and as I let go to start driving I felt my car do a quick two "tugs" as I was going forward and into a drive-way on my left. When I was turning the steering wheel, I felt it start to go stiff to where I had to turn it hard for it to move. The car started to slow down while I pressing the gas, coming to a halt before my front wheels could go on the drive-way. I pressed the brakes but they were hard where I could not press down on them and I let them go. I pressed down on them again hoping they would work, but they were hard. At that point the car sounded like it turned off on me even though the sign on my ignition read "run". I look down and my gear is on "d" but flashing on and off. At this point I am stuck in the middle of a residential street (sideways) because my car would not move. I look at the screen in my dashboard and its flashing something about "shift" and the battery light is on. I was panicking so I did not fully read what it was flashing and fortunately was able to change the gear to "p" even though I could not press down the brakes because they were very stiff. I turned off my car, and restarted it. At that point my car worked like nothing happened. I know my car in a weird way turned itself off because my a/c was not blowing cool air anymore (windshield was starting to fog because of the rain) until I restarted the car. I will say that a few months prior my "parking brake" turned on on its own, and I had mistakenly thought I had done it even though I had not touched it. I was adjusting my car into a parking spot and had just changed from "r" to "d".

While driving the car jerks while shifting and the transmission locks while driving. . . The display shows that the car is in speed mode but the dial is in drive. Have taken to dealer and they stated it was repaired but the same day of getting the car back its doing the same thing. . . . Unsafe to drive. . . .
