1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 12/25/2020

I was driving towards an intersection to merge right onto the main highway when I was in motion still my car shut off and said �shift to p� when I did so it wouldn't restart. The steering locked up and I couldn't move. It did not give me any warning or sign it was going to do so. I had almost pulled out onto the highway too. The radio and everything worked just fine. This happened once last year on a curvy two lane highway and I got lucky that I had a turn off when my car shut off. I called Chrysler and they apparently reset the system and it has been good since. It's not the alternator and it is not the battery. We ruled that out then. Jumping it does not fix the problem.

2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2019

My 2017 Chrysler 200, that I purchased on October 8, 2018 has started to just shut down while I'm driving, with no warning. This is extremely dangerous especially in the type of busy traffic that I drive in, daily. I'm thankful that the times it did shut off, it happened in my neighborhood, while I was slowing down to stop at a stop sign, and before I'd gotten into heavy traffic. It shut down on December 20, 2019 at a stop sign, and the exact same thing happened again on December 22, 2019. Both times, it didn't restart immediately when I pressed the start button. It stalled for a moment the first time, and perhaps 2 minutes the second time. I turned on my emergency blankers the 2nd time it happened, and I let other drivers know to go around me because it took a little longer to restart. This isn't safe, nor is it good for me as a consumer. That's why I bought an almost new car so I wouldn't have issues such as this while driving.

3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2019

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 04/19/2018

My Chrysler 200 started shutting itself off while driving. The lights and radio stay on but the brakes and steering are manual. The dealership informed me that I was low on oil and that the car is equipped with a safety feature to shut the car off when oil is low. This car is 10 mths old and only 11k miles. It continued after that visit and after shaming Chrysler on twitter, they opted to replace the motor. The problem is this car shuts off while driving. The engines are the same and this problem will kill someone. The auto is not equipped with a low oil light and I have been told to check oil every month! I am picking the car up today with an engine that is new to this car but, I am petrified to drive it. If it shuts off on the freeway, how am I to get over before I get hit. Chrysler states that is no problem if this engine is faulty because they will cover under warranty. What will it take-someone dying? I do not want to be that person. Since I am going to get this death trap I called to make sure they fixed the cruise control. Dealership stated that the car is not on recall. From all my research all 200's are on recall. So, now I have a car that will turn off when the oil gets low (with no warning light to tell you oil is low) and I cannot use the cruise control.
