The front blinker lights stopped working but only when lights are off they only work when lights are on or on automatic.
On November 21, 2020, the 7th day I purchased my car from car max, I drove my car from TX to ar. Nearly halfway to ar the dashboard lights started flickering and went off and on several times. I could not believe it has it during the day time. Once I arrived in ar, the dashboard continued to flicker but there were no error messages on the dashboard to indicate a problem. Later that night, I drove to the store and in the store parking lot the car quit on me after the lights flickered several times!!! I am livid! I have a 5-year old daughter in the car with me! what if the car stops on the highway? why hasn't Chrysler fixed this issue? I'm just now reading about this issues with numerous car owners!!! I desire to have this investigated and fixed immediately! if something we're to happened to my child and I would that not be horrible? things like this should not exists as this is dangerousssssss!!! our lives are at stake and I do not appreciate that!.
The dashboard lights and the head and back lights will flicker on and off. The car has shut off while driviing in traffic. Sometimes it doesnt start at all , I have to baqng the door and then the loghtas will come on. I put a brand new battery and altintor in the car and my nechnanic doesnt have a clue what is wrong woth it. Believe it to be the computer system.

** occasional stalling, when stopped or when driving normal speeds, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes longer. Fuel pump was replaced, problem continued, 2nd fuel pump installed, problem continues. Mechanic believes it is the tipm, totally integrated power module. ** headlights sometimes turn off while driving when totally dark. Not an issue of any ambient triggering headlight to turn off. I had headlights replaced, problem continues. It can only be resolved by turning headlights off, then back on. I suspect tipm controls headlights set to auto, as headlights have a delay turn off when exiting the car. ** horn turns on intermittently, when car is on or off. It will have short beeps or stay on for long periods. It may happen every few minutes, or days apart. As part of the alarm system, I suspect this could be another tipm issue. Only resolution was to disconnect and drive without horns. Other randomly occurring issues that are likely due to tipm: ** Smart front passenger window is erratic. The window should drop down 1/4 in when the door handle is pulled and as long as the door is open. When the door is open, the window will usually go back up (it shouldn't) but sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it keeps going up and down continuously, then stop, then start again. **convertible top operation is erratic. It has many interlocks and sometimes it gets stuck 1/2 or 3/4 while opening, sometimes it may or not respond when closing. These problems have happened over the last year or so.

While driving home from work my 2015 Chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work. . And leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons. . This needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!.
So it all started when my car radio shorted out and wasn't working and my odometer started flashing. After about a week of driving with the radio unplugged, the car battery starts draining itself to a dead battery. Now the car sits and doesn't hold a charge for more than 1 hour. My dash lights up on its own when the key fobs are not in or near the car. I've changed the battery's to the key fobs and when I attempt to start the car it states that the key fob is not detected.
He car automatical speed up. And the light keep going out.
Windshield washer pump has no power at pump. Transmission shifts irradically on roads. Interior lights no power. Have been told be auto computer repair service that tipm is going out.

My speedometer and dashboard keeps blinking and glitching out.
Stop for gas got back in my car al lights were flashing and car wont start. Tried to jump car off nothing so I went and bought a new battery still nothing I keep hearing clicking noise from under the hood.
Vehicle suspension seems to have gone bad. 2015 sedan now sounds like an older car when riding over rough spots in pavement. Also, awd not available light first flashed on when taking a left turn on rainy day. It was followed by service awd indicator light coming on. At first these indicator lights would come on intermittently, but now come on each time engine is started and the service awd light now stays on until the engine is shut off.
Car losing power . . . . Stalling . . . . Transmission issues when backing up and driving up a hill . . .
While driving the car on the highway, the car dies and has to be jumped. The jump only makes it a short distance before shutting of again. All the lights come on ,on the dash and shut the car off.
Randomly if I hit a bump my airbag light will come on. Now for a 2015 200 limited why am I needing to replace the whole starter assembly and now to have to replace the air shutter grille. The vehicle headlamps are extremely poor. It's very hard to see see on all highways, side streets etc. Now the traction stabilizers light came on as I was backing in to a parking space as well as my brakes just started making a squealing noise out no where as driving on the street. There no reason why there should not be a recall on multiple vehicle issues as most people are stating. Why isn't there a number I can call to file a compliant with all the vehicle issues I've experienced? this just crazy then to have to come outta $1,300. 00 for vehicle repairs is crazy! why does this vehicle stall when the oil is low shameful for the vehicle to stop and and barely start back! tires sucks outside mirrors always have to adjust this brand is garbage!! people everywhere is having issues with the vehicle starting. . Please do something about these vehicle issues. There is no reason why this vehicle is 3 years old and is stalling this is embarrassing. On top of having to pay a note that ridiculous. I want to be compensated in the amount of the vehicle repairs.
The air bag service light continues to to come on and the air bag light stays on.
2015 Chrysler 200. Air bag light comes on passenger side makes the power train to keep on building speed with no personal assist. The dash lights at night when turn down on switch suddenly gets very bright it will blind you. The engine speeds up with no personal assist. Only in motion.
Im drive down 41 to oshkohs WI at night I have my head lights on high beam and a deer ran out and im going 70 and hit it in the back end if my lights whould have been brighter I whould have seen it on low looks like a wall stops on high they go further but there is still a wall.
Car shutting off while driving in traffic with no warning. Car frequently resets itself multiple times a day without reason. Dashboard lights go out without warning. Gear switch has low voltage, shuts off car.
Takata recall. This has happened repeatedly over the past 2 years. While driving my car, my front and rear lights stop working. Hazards and blinkers included. Today, it lasted nearly 9 hours. I went to o reileys and auto zone to have my car tested. I am a mom of 4 girls, so they took sympathy and tried to help. Couldn't find what the issue was, I was told to go to a Chrysler dealership and have it looked over. I don't have the income to pay a mechanic. While waiting in line at my daughters school, the right front light decided to work and my back rear left light decided to work. Then lights came back on and ac stopped blowing cold air. My cars dash board repeatedly kept letting me know which lights weren't working. Check engine light never came on. It was terrifying.
It's been at least 8months since I've driven my own car because of all the safety hazards on it and I am pregnant. I feel to scared to drive it thinking that something may happen to me because the car wants to act up. Since about a month after I had financed the car I noticed that the air bag light was on and the transmition light would pop on and off. The car started to stay at a certain speed limit and would not accelerate no matter how hard or long I pressed on the gas pedal. I would then have to pull over to the side of the road and turn my car off and then turn it back on. This was ongoing for monts. . It was my only transportation to work and I didn't have the money to get a new car after just financing one and being young in the military. I had took it to my dealership when this happened and they told me that the transmition light would come up because the sensor for my oil wasn't reading and it was nothing to worry about and my air bag light came up because someone in the backseat must've stepped on it and it would still work but the light would be there. A lot of bull shit but at the time I didn't know much so I went off of what they said. Later on the light would go on and off. For the first 6 month I believe I had replaced my lights 8times thinking that it was norma to change it that often. Again I didn't know much about cars. But after getting it checked the dealership had told me I have wiring issues and I my head lights and highbeams don't work on the left hand side. And after letting a friend use my car for a day I believe they've gone out completely. Today I went to drive my car literally 5min away from my house to the store to just turn it on and my car started shaking while I was driving it. Oh and my battery has gone out before on me a couple of times in the past and it did that to me today while I was on a hill which was really dangerous.
The instrument panel; radio and back-up camera goes black so they are not visable.

Your agency reported headlamps on my make/model vehicle poor to marginal in terms of vision, and is safety related. I contacted Chrysler directly, and had the headlamps inspected by my dealer. Dealer, obviously, says they operated as designed, but the indication by NHTSA is that they are designed poorly, and are a potential safety issue. Chrysler will do nothing to help. My 2008 Hyundai azera headlamp depth of field is 30' greater.
I was driving and my dashboard started blinking telling me I had to park the car. Once I parked for a little bit I was able to restart it but the engine light was still blinking. I was able to get it home before it shut off again and I will have it towed today. This is the second time within the last month that this has happened with the car.
I was merging onto the highway and my dashboard started blinking telling me I had to park the car. Once I parked it I could not get it to start again and had it towed to Chrysler. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it and reset the pcm to get it to start again.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, notice that the front passenger head light and the left rear tale light failed to illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tipm failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Aw.
On October 28th, 2014 I dropped my car off at the dealership for repair with complaints of electrical issues. The alarm was performing with unpredictable tendencies and was not disarming in order to enter the car. After driving a rental for two weeks that came out of my pocket the dealership claimed that they could not duplicate the problem in order to fix it. I was forced to take the car back knowing that the problem was not fixed. The random electrical problems progressed and the car ignition began having serious issues. Once the key was turned to ¿off ¿ the car would restart and the indicator light would say ¿key in ignition� although the key had been removed from the ignition. I would have to turn and hold the key to the ¿on� position for several seconds before the car would turn over. On December 15th, 2014 I attempted to put the key into the ignition and the engine did not turn over at all. I removed the key from the ignition and the engine began to make the sounds as if it was going to turn over at least 10 times while the key was out of the ignition. On January 15th, 2015 I received a call from the service rep at the dealership. He said that he was advised by my case manager at Chrysler customer care to call and tell me that I had to come and pick up my car although the problem had not been resolved. The service rep said that they had replaced the tipm (totally integrated power module), the battery, and the clock that flickers yet the electrical issues repeated even after the replacement of the tipm. He continued to say that the Chrysler engineers did not know how to fix the problem. This car is still within the formal ¿lemon law rights period�and I am asking Chrysler for appropriate action in a timely manner.
Driving and interior lights dim down and get real bright spontaneously. Also my seat belt light and chime don't work all the time?? trans already slips when leaving town at a medium acceleration? only 75000 miles on the car.
2013 Chrysler 200. Consumer writes in regards to numerous repairs and vehicle recalls issues. The check engine light illuminated. The technician diagnosed the code p0441 evap purge valve. The water pump, gasket, serpentine belt, idler pulley and multi-function switch were replaced.
Cant see at night with the low beams. Needs to be replaced with a two bulb system. Does some one have to die before this issue is addressed?.
The headlamps on this vehicle, on low beam, project light that is inadequate for speeds above 30-35 mph, especially on rural roads. You simply cannot see more than approximately 40 yards in front of the car. Extremely unsafe for night driving.
The headlamps on this vehicle are a safety hazard, you can not see at night, I almost hit a parked car at night because of the poor visibility.
This vehicle as a "shutter" on the headlamp. This goes down on low beams and up on high beams. I am unable to drive this vehicle at night, the head lights do not shine down the road, and clearly not be able to see. This is a huge danger issue, that needs to be addressed. Dealership is saying. . . Sorry, nothing that can be done. Please help me.
While driving 15mph in a 25mph zone due to not being able to see the road on a downgrade I almost hit an animal and coming close to also hitting a low center median being unable to see in front of my vehicle more than 10 feet or less. Informed Chrysler and as other people stated they want to do an adjustment and diagnosis of problem. I have and drive other vehicles and have not had this issue with anything else just this vehicle there is not enough light and the cutoff is seriously bad.
