3 Engine Stall problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 01/30/2021

My car has just under 50,000 miles on it and is well maintained. Twice in the past week, the engine has stalled while coming to a stop at the exact same stop sign. There is no warning prior, during, or after. I have been able to put the car in park and it has started right back up.

4 Engine Stall problem of the 2012 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

I just had my car pre purchase inspected and it was reported to be in great condition. Then all of the sudden my engine has stalled twice in the last 72hours, when coming to a stop. I am able to turn it back on, however fear for my safety now whenever I drive it. These exact issues have been reported with other 2012 Chrysler 200 models, due to connecting rod bearing failure and I believe this model has been similarly effected. I feel like I should be entitled to a engine recall as well, due to the identical issues that I am experiencing.

5 Engine Stall problem of the 2011 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 07/16/2020

While driving, usually decelerating or getting ready to stop or already stopped and getting ready to accelerate the engine will stall or completely shut off, will be completely hot, will take about 15-20 minutes and then will start again. This has caused my son safety issues where he's completely stopped running on a busy road and then had to push the car into either a parking lot without power steering (hard to do by himself at 18 yo) or into a driveway. This has also happened in the country at night. No lights come on except once when the abs and traction lights came on. The vehicle will vibrate slightly before each episode. The last episode we had to have it towed. Has happened about 6 times. Now no longer driving due to safety!!.

Failure Date: 12/16/2019

The engine keeps stalling while driving without warning. It is unable to restart for about 30 minutes, then will start up normally as if nothing has happened. I have taken it to Chrysler service several times to be told that nothing shows up on the diagnostic and they cannot determine the issue to this very dangerous problem. The problem happens while the car is in motion and can happen anytime regardless of speed, location, or what the car is doing. It happens repeatedly, approximately every 3 weeks.

13 Engine Stall problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 06/12/2019

When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards on at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue. I do have videos of this, but can not upload them. The date below is the date of one of the videos, this problem occurs daily & has been for several weeks. After purchasing the car, there were a few incidents months apart, then it became more frequent, & for the last several weeks it is a daily occurrence.

When engine is cold it stalls repeatedly when I slow down, stop, turn a corner or accelerate. Car is fine when it is hot but I can't always let it warm up for 10 minutes before driving. This morning was the worst when I pulled out of my subdivision and it stalled in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic having to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me. This is going to get me killed.

16 Engine Stall problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 03/13/2019

The car engine keeps on stalling while it is in motion. The car suddenly stops while I am driving it. There are no warning lights, visual cues or sounds to indicate any problem. As a result, the car's power steering becomes inoperable. The speed of the car varies at the time of each incident. Each time this incident has happened, the car has become disabled in the middle of the street. There have been 5 incidents this past month. So far, the car has been able to restart after putting the car in park and after a couple of attempts of pushing the start button along with stepping on the brakes. It usually takes a couple of minutes. During that time, my car is in the middle of the street and in traffic. I have had my children in the car during some of these incidents. It is an extreme safety risk.

20 Engine Stall problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 12/15/2018

Approximately 2 months after purchasing my 2013 Chrysler 200 ltd (6-cyl. ; mileage approx. 79k), the car began randomly losing power and stalling out while I was driving. When this occurred, I only had a few seconds to slowly coast to the side of the road to get off the highway. The car would not restart, and I had to call a wrecker. This has now happened 5 times. All of my trips were local when the engine stalls occurred, and each stall came without any warning while I was simply cruising down a highway or a city street, and not traveling up or down any significant slopes. When the car engine died, the dashboard indicators all illuminated while the engine was dying. I have had Chrysler service respond to the scene immediately to get diagnostics, and the car is not throwing out any diagnostic codes. When the engine dies, it can be restarted after the car sits for awhile. . . Maybe a few hours. The pcm (computer) was replaced and all software patches have been installed, but that didn't fix the problem. The car has been in the Chrysler dealership repair shop over a month now, while they wait hopefully for a technical wizard to impart exploratory repair magic over their star network. I sure would like to have my car back. . . . Working. I was fortunate to have been able to get my car off the road on the occasions that it died. I could have been in a very dangerous situation otherwise. It is noted that NHTSA closed their investigation of this problem with the Chrysler 200, shortly after a software patch was released in sept. 2012.

22 Engine Stall problem of the 2016 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 06/23/2018

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.

23 Engine Stall problem of the 2017 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 06/14/2018

The engine stalls when coming to a stop such as a stop light or stop sign. The engine also stalls and shuts off when accelerating after stopping. It stopped in the middle of an intersection while turning out of my apartment complex into a busy main road. I was able to coast off of the road and tried to restart. Upon trying to restart it hesitated to turn over and start. It took about 2 minutes before it finally started and it didn't want to accelerate. There was no warning that it was getting ready to stall. After it started up again a message came up saying that the electronic throttle needed to be serviced. This makes the 3rd time it had stalled but the 1st time it has given me any kind of indication why.

I had to open up a case at Chrysler and explain them the risk of driving this vehicle when it cuts off on freeway and finally at 4th attempt it was fixed. They mentioned that the recall which was performed in June was not done properly. 2017, I went in for another recall and just after a month again in June 2017 I am having this issue again. The engine stalled on me when I was on first lane on freeway, again a risk experience. The car is with dealership since last 15 days and they are also able to recreate the issue.
