Check Engine Light On Problems of Chrysler 200 - part 2

Car stalling out while driving. Stalled 4 times 12/10/17 then was driving rough, as I was going down the street the red lighting bolt came on along with the check engine light, parking light, traction control light. Went to the gas station to put gas in, started car and the car would not go into drive. It took around 8-10 minutes to get the car to go into drive. There was all kinds of warnings going across the screen saying electrical malfunction service immediately and transmission malfunction service immediately. So I take the car in and the tcm is needing replaced and the engine may need replaced. This is not ok for a 2015 car to have this many problems.

Within the last week, my car has turned off twice while driving it. The first time I was going downhill on an s-curve and the engine turned off and a message appeared on my dashboard to put the car in park and start. The second time I was in stop and go traffic and the car just suddenly turned off and the same message appeared. I was stuck in the middle of the road and had to throw it in park while other cars were trying to go around me while I tried to restart it. When it did restart it, the check engine light was on and it also had a flashing lightning bolt. I was going to go get the check engine light checked the following day, but when I turned my car on in the morning, the check engine light was gone.

Bought care used from the dealer 9 months ago and at approx. 52,000 miles the check engine light and traction control light came on while driving. The car decelerated to 30mph and lost all throttle control. Luckily I could pull over and get out of traffic and when I stopped the engine shuttered violently then cut off. This could have been fatal if it happened on the interstate. Had to restart the car over a dozen times to get it home. Finally got it to the shop and they have replace the throttle body and computer. Still at the shop and the issue is still not resolved. The bill is almost $600 and I don't have a working car . After doing research I see this is the same issue that happens to this car. Chrysler really needs to recall all of these cars and refund all money so we can buy a car that runs and will not potentially kill someone.

Vehicle is stalling, completely shutting off, losing power while driving. It has done it as 20mph, 45mph, going straight, turning left, turning right. There is no notification that this is happening. The only thing I can tell it's happening is it looses power, steering locks up and the car dash says "shift to p to start vehicle". When I do that, the car takes at least 30-456 seconds to completely start back up and running. It acts like it does not want to start back up. I have travelled county roads, city streets, highways and it has done it on each one of them. This is not ok and something that needs to be blown off with no recall. I have 2 small children that is 99. 9% of the time in the car with me. I can not have this continue to happen with nothing being done or resolved of this. I have taken it to 2 different Chrysler dealers and they cannot figure out what is going on with it because the car is not throwing any codes when it happens. No check engine light, nothing.

I was driving around 40-50 mph when my vehicle shut down for no reason and with no warning. The only warning was after it shut down and the engine light came on. I had to swerve out of traffic with no power steering and turn the ignition to off. That I started it back up and it drove fine but with the check engine light still on. I have read numerous complaints about this and about dealers doing nothing about it. Some complaints involving injuries and children. Something needs to be done about this because I am now stuck with a lemon that is not worth what I owe.

I was driving my 2012 Chrysler 200 and it stops in the middle of the road suddenly with out any warning. It happened to me 8 times in a row now with in week. I just see a check engine light on in the dashboard and the engine shuts off completely. If I try to restart the car it starts only after turning the car off for few mins. I had it checked a couple of times with a mechanic but they are not able to fix it. Driving this car is not safe as it stops in the middle of the road and locks the steering as well.

Something electrical is draining my battery. When I drive, the check engine light comes on, the abs, traction, and brake light comes on while driving. When I'm idle nothing happens. When I'm on the highway it jerks and stalls a bit. I have to accelerate a lot to keep it going. I've had the battery replace 2 times in the past 3 months - brand new. It keep draining my battery. The alternator was fine. I took it to the dealership they told me they can't read it if the lights are not on. But it only comes on when I'm driving. The lights in the car, headlights, and radio all go out while I'm driving then back on. The headlights flicker. I'm about to need to have the battery replaced now a third time with no help from the dealership. My engine light is still on and and it drives rough and I smell gas when I'm driving. I just bought this car in August and I've had more issues with it than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I've only received 1 recall for the vehicle, I believe it should be thoroughly checked because it's too many issues for a car that's only 4 years old.

While driving the vehicle it cut off suddenly with no warning or check engine light came on. Took the car to a dealership they tore the engine down and discovered chunks of metal in the oil pan and metal clogged the oil filter. They did not give me a cause for the metal being present. They said I would have to pay more money in labor to have them dig in to the engine to figure out what failed.

While in motion, overheating light and electric throttle light came up on dash display, with temperature reading at 0. The vehicle still drove as normal, I pulled over and turned it off. Restarted after 30 secs and the lights where gone, just check engine light was. Took it to a dealership and was told I had a faulty thermastat. The dealer stated that they have been seeing this issue since November 2016 with Chrysler 200 & Jeep vehicles.

I was driving home from work when the check engine light, engine temperature warning light, and electronic throttle control light came on. In reviewing the potential issues, a number of people have had the same issue, potentially due to a faulty thermostat. When I had the vehicle scanned at autozone, it provided codes p0218 twice and p2181 once.

While driving down the road the etc light came on and the traction light came on and the car will not accelerate. I was able to park the car and when I restarted it that was a very rough idle and the check engine light the etc light and the traction light are all on.

Engine shuts off while driving, it might restart and it might not. Check engine light comes on and the battery light comes on for a short time. One time it was after work ready to go home, yesterday I was stopped at a red light and it shut off.

After owning my car for only a few months the check engine light came on and a minute later the electronic throttle control light and then the electronic stability control light. After taking my car to kendall Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram 5 times, an independent auto shop once and another visit to the dealership where the car was purchased my car is still having issues shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd. At least that's what the auto shop told me the problem is, with the transmission. I hit the gas and the car clunkers and jerks like a manual car when I'm just lifhtly pressing on the gas. The car doesn't even have 52,000 miles. I've had it less than a year and half the time it's been in and out of repair shops.

I bought the car in February 2016 and was told it was bought back because of a sensor and had gone through full inspection and was cleared for sale. Two days later my check engine light came on and the car had accelerated from 60-92 on it's own. The dealership puts new parts in and every two weeks after I get my car back, the check engine light comes on and the car is accelerating on it's own. Chrysler has a team talking with the dealership but the car has been back around 10 times and is still having the same problem. Last week it accelerated from 72 to 97 on the freeway while my 2 year old son was in the car. We almost hit a semi. I dont understand how Chrysler is able to keep closing my cases and telling me they fixed it when it is still having the same problem. I've googled engine issues on these cars and found mine wasn't the only one doing this. I am paying a lot of money for an unsafe car that keeps accelerating on it's own and nothing is being done.

While operating vehicle at normal speeds on streets and highways, the electronic stability control and check engine lights engage on the dash indicating a malfunction of the electronic stability control at 23,000 miles. Vehicle become sluggish in drivetrain performance.

My airbag indicator light came on with 50,000 miles and was told while the light is on the bags will never deploy I called Chrysler and the said that's too bad but we can not help you, sends a clear message safty is not one of Chryslers high priority, now the check engine light is on and the engine is mis-firing on cyl. 5 more of Chrysler's bad design antother reason they can not sell a chyrsler 200 so the stop building them. The ceo is trying to get another car company to merge with Chrysler but who whats to pay your bills mr. Ceo.

I was driving my brand new Chrysler 200 that I bought 4 months prior and it was completely shutting off in the middle of the road. . . I lost control of steering until it shut completely off so I could restart it. Very scary when you have your newborn baby and 10 year old in that back seat. Not once did a check engine light come on or any sensor come on to tell me that my vehicle had no oil in it. So I believe the engine, electrical, and sensors are all messed on this vehicle. I do not feel like I should be stuck with it because in the back of my head I no longer feel safe in this vehicle. I am reaching out for help because Chrysler won't and I have owned this care since August and it was in shop for 17 days in January, I have it back but I still don't think it's running correctly.

I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 2. 4l engine that over this passed week has stalled at least 8 times. Every time the vehicle will start to show signs of "lagging" and while at low speeds just shut off. I am currently a college student and rely on having a vehicle to drive, since I live 6 hours from home. Tonight I was on my way home and it stalled on me 4 times every time I would get about 100 yards and it would do it again, finally I got a safe place to park the vehicle and had to walk back to my apartment. Tomorrow I am having the vehicle towed to get it looked at. The check engine light does come on every time this happens but I go through the menu on the steering wheel and it always say "system: ok" so no warning code is popping up. Which I know when I take it to the dealership they are going to say they "cannot replicate the problem" and just send me on my way. But this is a very big problem the steering wheel locks up every time the vehicle powers off and one of the times it has done this I was in the middle of an intersection. I no longer feel safe driving my own car and after seeing all of the other complaints about this same problem I would like to see something happen about it.

Bought car is October of 2014. October of 2015, car started having problems. First day it started. Car had trouble turning over. It cranked, and cranked, and finally was able to turn over. Drove it to work that day and felt shakes and vibrations at idle. Next day, same thing. Car hesitates and shakes and check engine light appeared. Towed to dealer where they stated the issue was the recalls and updates to the tcm and pcm. I stated there was something more serious, and they insisted it was just the recalls (power distribution center). Got a call the next day to pick car up. Took off with it, and at next stop light, car stalled. Lights flickered and car felt very rough. Was able to turn back on car. At this time, the a/c stopped working. The defrost was the only thing working no matter what was turned on or off on the dash. Tried to turn ac and defrost on and off and the defrost stayed on the whole time. Made it back to dealer, and told them the issues. While I stood there, the adviser felt the shake when he touched the door, and said there was definitely something wrong and got me a loaner car. Still waiting to hear back.

My engine turned off while driving. I was on a one lane ramp, going about 25 or 30 miles per hour around a bend. The transmission was in drive, not park or neutral. I could not restart my engine. Additional safety features such as forward collision warning, lane sense, and park sense were disabled. I was blocking traffic - the only way to get around me was to go up onto the sidewalk, which is not safe. People behind me tried to help by pushing the car, but could not. I had to call the police to send incident response to push me out of the way. The incident response truck also could not push me out of the way, but after rocking my car several times in an attempt to push the car, the engine would start. The check engine light came on and the screen showed a message saying to service transmisison. I drove to a parking lot and called a tow truck to take me to a dealership. I have found many cases of this happening to other 2015 Chrysler 200 owners, and I think there needs to be an investigation and possibly a recall. The dealership cannot tell me what caused the issue, only that their service manual says reflashing the transmission control module should solve the problem. Chrysler coporate also cannot tell me what caused the issue. Several testimonies online say that their car was not fixed by reflashing the tcm. Having your new car die on the road while driving with absolutely no warning is an unacceptable, possibly fatal risk. I only hope if this happens again, I won't be in an intersection or in front of a semi-truck on the highway.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 200 touring. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning light illuminated. On one occasion, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000. Jo.

Car was running beautifully on September 22nd. It was parked in the garage overnight. When I started it the morning of the 23rd, the check engine light flashed and the car was idling very roughly. I drove slowly to the dealer, doug smith Chrysler in american fork, ut. They diagnosed the problem as being a cart and horse concern: apparently the coil on the #6 cylinder had failed and also the coil driver in the pcm had also failed. They don't know which occurred first and then likely caused the other problem. My concern is that the car was nearly undriveable as it was; what if the pcm had suffered a cascading damage of some sort? especially, what if this had happened while I was traveling 70mph on the freeway? I just think that a component of such importance as the pcm should not fail after only 11000 miles. I now have concerns about the replacement: will it be brand new or rebuilt? if rebuilt, how reliable will that end up being? I also feel that a spark plug coil should be more robust than to fail at only 11000 miles. I believe this failure could represent a severe danger to myself and possibly to others if it happened while the car was being driven.

I was on my way home from work when at a red light my check engine light goes on, transmission and park break service lights go on and as the light turned green my car did not accelerate. I put my car on park turned my emergency lights and then shifted to drive . My car then kept changing shifts. As an attempt to get my car home which is only 7 min from work I drove it slowly and every stop I made my car would take at least 2-3 minutes to accelerate. As I arrived home the steering wheel got hard and displayed a warning to put emergency break to prevent from rolling. It then displayed service transmission, service park break, service engine. The next day I took my car to the dealership but was told nothing about a recall for my car.

I purchased vehicle 7/31/2015, on 8/17/2015 vehicle began to jerk, miss out , try to die when driving and then the check engine light came on. I took into shop 8/18/2015 and found out that the motor was bad and it was a factory default and needed replaced. Motor had 468 miles on it. Upon further investigation, we found out that an entire line was produced where some of these motors were not put together properly (missing a seal). To this date, 10/7/2015 I still have not seen any recall or any mention of said problem. My motor was to be replaced, I told Chrysler I wanted them to take the car back. I had only 2 weeks and the major part of vehicle was junk. They suggested a replacement, we tried that solution and 4 weeks into it, they had still not moved. I am now asking them to buy back the vehicle and let me move on. I feel like the public should be aware of this, as there is potentially hundreds of vehicles out there with bad motors sitting on lots, driveways, garages or driving down the road just waiting to fail.

While driving on the expressway at approx 65 mph my vehicle cut off without warning. I lost all power. I was able to manuever to the shoulder and then the check engine light and transmission failure light came on. It took several minutes turning vehicle on and off and trying to shift before the vehicle would come on and shift into drive. This occured on two other occassions. The last time almost resulted in an accident because I couldn't get out of the way of cars coming behind me.

While driving down the highway, I had my check engine light and then a short time later my abs light come one. My car lost power and even though you press gas pedal the engine decelerates like it is trying to shift into super low gear but not sending any power to transmission which acts like it is totally slipping (it is electronic too)! I almost got hit 4 times before getting to side of road. I shut it down. It then re-started after 5 minutes and ran fine for 5 minutes before starting the cycle again but luckily I was on the back streets and not the highway. Chrysler needs to address this before someone gets killed!.

Friday: while wife was driving the car suddenly vibrated and stalled. The vehicle indicated it was still running even though it was off. Was unable to shut off completely for a few minutes, after about 10 minutes car restarted, check engine light remained on. Dealer said to continue to drive. Engine light went off over the weekend. Sunday: driving at approximately 25 miles per hour car suddenly stalled and we were able to coast to side of road. Car indicated it was still on and running even though it was off. Was able to put car in park and eventually shut it off. Car would not restart. Car would not change gears, so unable to put it in neutral when tow arrived. Towed to dealer and they held it until Friday. Said that the pins in the power distribution center were loose and that was the problem. Friday: picked car up from dealer, wife drove it less than 1 mile and it stalled and shut off again in an intersection. After approximately 10 minutes the car restarted. Is now back at the dealer.

I bought my car in March 2014 with only a few miles on it. I had my check engine light come on many times and I was told it was my gas cap. Well after a few months of this I noticed that my car would lose power and although I would press the accelerator my car continued to decline in speed. I have contacted the dealer and they told me to call and make an appointment when the check engine light came on. I tried to explain to them that this happens and it will last a few min to a few days. I was told well that’s odd you don't have any recalls or any complaints on your car. I even asked them about a replacement part that I came across that was done to my are right before I bought it and they told me they have no record. Sure is funny they did the replacement on it. Needless to say I have had my car over year and I can't get any answers on this issue. It’s super dangerous because it usually happens when I am going over 50 mpg.

Coming down expressway at about 65 mph. Suddenly warning indicated potential transmission failure and car was losing power. Pulled off highway and shut engine down. Restarted and warning was cleared except for check engine light. Took car to dealer and wiring harness was replaced and computer reset. On April 7th, 2015 in heavy traffic car lost engine power and began to stall I was able to get car (barely into turnaround lane before engine stalled out. Mileage on car was around 9500 miles. Warning again related to transmission failure and all transmission indicator lights were illuminated. Car locked up and could not be moved as wheels would not turn. Car towed to jim riehls in warren, mi. Dangerous situation as auto completely locked up in heavy traffic. Police demanded immediate movement and called a tow truck and stood by until truck arrived.

I purchased my car brand new in June 2014. In mid August 2014 on interstate 110. After coming to a complete stop my car shut off, as if it had stalled. I attempted to restart it and it jerked wildly and would not start. After a few more attempts it eventually started only to shut off again on interstate 105w. I was traveling approximately 70mph in lane 1 when the vehicle lost power and the panel instructed me to shift into park. The driver panel displayed “service transmission” and the check engine light was on. The service technician indicated that the computer needed to be “relearned” and provided documentation of several corrupted codes that were fixed. Two days later I experienced the same exact problem. They determined that I had an issue with my transmission valve body. After I got my car back I noticed that the transition between gears is very rough. Furthermore the gear shifting seems delayed, as the gears are often very inconsistent with the driving speed. Finally I notice that as I brake or lower my speed the gears do not adjusting accordingly. I have noticed that this is mostly a problem when I brake to a speed lower than about 25mph. In these instances, unless I come to a complete stop, the vehicle will not drop below 3rd gear. I reported this problem and received a entirely new transmission. Now, about 6,000 miles later I am experiencing the same shifting issues.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that after having his vehicle serviced for NHTSA campaign number: 13v282000 (air bags , electrical system) the check engine light illuminated at 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to a the dealer for inspection and they stated that the evac hose needed to be replaced due to the fact that a rodent had eaten the hose. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,122. Updated 02/11/lj the consumer stated there was a problem with the fuel tank evaporate hose.

Car stalled on the throbs neck expressway while sitting in heavy traffic. When I got the car started again it initially wouldn't move. When I did make off the highway the car shut off on me completely. I barely made ut back to new jersey in the car because the car struggled to accelerate & move all the way home. Check engine light is on as well as several other lights on the dash board. I had my entire family in the car that night (2 kids; husband & mother in law). I have been to the dealership 5 times to this issue & its not bern solved yet. This is my second complaint about this car to the NHTSA this time is more urgent because this car stalled in heavy traffic on a major highway this could've ended so badly.

This is the 2nd time this has happened in 11 months. (not sure of the exact date prior to most recent) was slowing to a stop, and once stopped, the car stalled. Both times it happened the check engine light "was not" illuminated. Everything on the dash appeared to work normally. Lights on, radio on, etc. I happened to feel the car rolling backwards, while stopped, and both times stood on the brakes to prevent the car from rolling back and striking the vehicle stopped behind me. (first time I actually thought I hit the car, but checked and did not see any damage) car restarted ok each time, and proceeded normally. In both instances, I was slowing to a stop (once from coming off the highway and stopping at a traffic light at the top of the exit ramp, and another time slowing to a stop from about 45 mph, on a city street) haven't notified the dealership (yet!) but became aware of this issue when I researched this on the internet. Add 1 more Chrysler 200 to the "stalling" issue! (canadian vehicle - ontario).

When at a complete stop or low speed vehicles kicks like it is going to stall. This has happened since the purchase of the vehicle it was taken to the dealership two times in the beginning and the service technicians were not able to find the problem or feel it hesitate. The car was taken twice once in 2012 then 2013 problem could not be found. I have had the car for three years and this problem comes and goes. On 08/31/2015 the car finally stalled out when I was going to enter the highway. The car completely shut off and I was able to turn it back on once it came to a complete stop. At this point the check engine light came on and I was able to drive the car to the dealership. The dealership has indicated it is the crank shaft sensor and a harness that needs replacement. They received several codes when hooked up to the diagnostic machine and were not able to determine what the problem was until two days after it was in the shop. This is a problem that has been going on since I first purchased the vehicle and am quite surprised that there is no recall since we do run the liability of being involved in a car accident by getting hit from behind due to the car hesitating when accelerating after a complete stop.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that she stopped the vehicle completely and it stalled. The contact also stated that the check engine light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact restarted the vehicle and it operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the pvc hose was leaking and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 12,000.
