Lose Power Steering Problems of Chrysler 200

I have owned this car for 3 years. A year after owning it I began having issues with the engine shutting down while driving. It is random and happens with no warning, no check engine light or any indication that it's going to happen. It has happened in traffic where I was almost rear ended by a semi because when the engine dies I lose power steering and can't get it off the road. Sometimes it will restart right away other times it takes an hour or more. This has happened while on the highway and city streets. Most commonly it happen when I have to take my foot off the accelerator and then reapply, like slowing down for a car turning in front of me, taking a turn and taking an exit ramp. This has happened many times over the last couple years. I have had it at a dealership and they can't diagnose a problem or recommend a fix. I have also been in contact with the manufacturer and they told me there was nothing they could do and I would just have to drive the car and take it back in if the problem worsens. That is not an option because it is either going to get me stranded on the side of the road or in an accident.

All of sudden I felt a jolt in the gear shift and then I lost power steering and I couldn't step on the gas to accelerate . So I pulled over the best I could, on the highway going 55 mph. I shut the car off and when I turned it back on after giving it a couple minutes it was turning over but not turning on. The engine was completely stalled. No warning lights or check engine lights. It was completely random. I had to call family to come pick me and my daughter up. After a few hours we came back a new tried it. It worked but after driving it an hour it did the same thing again. I checked the recalls for my car and their isn�t, however when I read up on forums and my car has the same issues as the other 2013 Chrysler 200s. With engine stalling and greater possibility of an engine fire. I think the make and model of the vehicle needs to be investigated. I had my toddler in the car and it was frightening. I'm diligent about keeping up maintenance on my vehicles and if any inclination and or warning I would've been at the mechanic.

Would lose power steering, would have to force steering, it happened on highway while drive straight, also happened while turning on city streets.

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.

2012 Chrysler 200 shut off while driving 45 mph down the hwy with 2 children in the car. I lost power steering and my brakes. Luckily, I made it to the side of the road. It restarted once I turned the key to off first, but shut off on me a second time while idling a few minutes later. I have not driven it since.
