Brake Disc Pads Problems of Chrysler 200

Break light comes on while driving. Stays on for 30secs and then shuts off. Happens when going around a sharp curve, down hill, or stopping abruptly. No check engine light comes on and no codes found. I have researched and seen this has been an ongoing issue with 200s for quite some time now, and there has been no fix. Break pads wear down at a much faster rate than normal. Even after break system has been flushed. Have not had an issue stopping the car, just the light comes on often. 2nd. Rack and pinion has gone out causing the car to lose power steering in 1 direction only. In my instance, I was only able to turn left normally and it was extremely difficult to turn right. Happened when I was parking the car and went to straighten up the wheel. Had the car towed to the dealership to be fixed.

When vehicle is in reverse, there is a consistent and loud squealing/squeaking. Dealer has attempted to repair multiple times with new breaks pads etc. Issues still exist, issue is know by fca corporation. Dealer has stated that this has been an issue with fca vehicles over the past few years and there is no fix for this issue. Fca has attempted to go through there technicians but no resolve for the issue, was told this issue is normal with fca vehicles. This is a breaking issue that there appears to be no resolve through fca even though it's a known issue with the vehicles according to dealer and fca. The concern is it is a breaking issue.

Vehicle purchase from enterprise car sale, may 3,2013. Mileage 30926. Immediately I started having problems with loud clicking sound in front tires and loud squealing on backup. Enterprise agreed to fix the problem once identified. The inspection to tires and brakes was done and dealership stated they could not get vehicle to replicate the noise (lol) . 2nd trip to dealership. Same complaint. Answer- could not get vehicle to duplicate noise. "you must be kidding me. If I can hear it I know you can hear it. So, my suggestion was to roll down the windows, turn off the air conditioner / radio. . . You cant miss it. Well, the front tires were replaced because it was stated that they were 1/8 inch to large. But nothing done to the brakes. There was still plenty padding . 3rd trip to dealership. Brakes are now screaming at me! the pads were replaced with different material. From ceramic to metallic pads. . Two months have gone by and guess what? the noise is back!!!!. Im no genius and definitely not a mechanic, but if you keep doing the same thing you will get the same results. How many times does it take to realize that something else is wrong? the question is. . . . What ? I have read "several complaints from different owners with the same issue. So I know there is something wrong . How many complaints does it require before an investigation takes place and a recall is issued because something is wrong here?. I regret not doing the research on this car because I know for sure that I would not have purchased the vehicle.

This Chrysler 2012 200 started to have brake squealing issues at about 7,000 miles I went to dealership and they told me that it was probably just being broke in since I purchased this car at 200 miles on it. The problem continued and no one at the dealership would address this problem. I then told them they had to do something about it and they then told me that there was not a fix for this that Chrysler could not fix this problem. And that they the dealership dennis dillon and Chrysler had no idea what to do. I continued to drive my car and in September of 2013 my car's check engine light came on and I took into the dealer dennis dillon and was advised that my cylander head was gone and would need repaired. I was told to go ahead and dive my car while the parts came in. My car was fixed and picked up from dealer then 1 day later my car overheated on interstate and broke down was then told a clamp came off and was then fixed. Since this issue my car has not driven the same. It is sluggish . I asked the dealer about the lemon law and was told to contact Chrysler . I did so and was told by Chrysler that there is nothing anyone can do. My brakes still sqeal very loudly and chrylser told me that its becasue they replaced the brake pads and no longer have asbestos' in them. I then advised them that I have driven other models and makes and did not have that problem. They refused to be of any assistance. My steering is also an issue in which the dealership has said that it needed an alignment but since the car was only a couple hundred miles on it. It has pulled severly to the left. This is not acceptable and this car needs to fall under the lemon law and be dealt with.

My first problem is an worsening squeaking and grinding in my brakes. I purchased the car in oct 2011 and started having squeaking brakes in March 2012. I have returned my car to the buying dealership three times prior to my 12,000 brake warranty. I was told by a certified Chrysler mechanic nothing is wrong with my brakes and they did not hear anything. My brake issue has gotten worse I hear it constantly with any stopping motion. I then took my car to a non certified Chrysler mechanic and I was shown my rear brakes are warped. And the brakes are defective. This mechanic did not want to fix the issue he stated return to your dealership because even if we replace the pads the defective parts will cause the problem again. I called the buying dealership that same day and told the person in service center what I was told he guaranteed his technician did their job and refused to look in the system to provide me with exactly what she did since the issue was not fixed. Needless to say that individual is unprofessional and totally disregard my concern. I called Chrysler headquaters filed a complaint that same day. A few days later I took it to another Chrysler dealership the technician agreed my rotors in the rear where warped and "reglossed them" this did not fix the issue. I returned a few days later telling him the noise never went away. I was told I would have to pay for the new brake pads or to be reglossed. He advised me my pads are placed in a certain position that causes them to make that noise but could not give me a straight answer if this was abnormal or normal. But pretty much deal with it. I have all the paperwork from each dealership and mechanic regardless if the warranty is expired if the brakes are defective they will never work properly. My second concern is my car has stalled three times in the month of June 2012 while driving going less than 20 miles.
