36 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 05/21/2020

While driving that various speeds, the vehicle jerks while the accelerator pedal is depressed but the vehicle fails to accelerate. Also I noticed the vehicle didn't come with rubber on the accelerator pedal it was completely metal and my foot was sliding while driving so I contacted the dealership and tried to get it replaced but they said that is was a cost saving issue and there was nothing they could do about it since none of the cars came with this so I purchased a stainless steel pedal cover kit but I'm still having issues while driving with the accelerator on this vehicle while on the freeway because it hard accelerator at high speeds without the grip of the rubber.

37 Service Brakes problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 04/22/2020

Reference recall p60 for alternator diode issue. The complaint vehicle has an intermittent issue with a dead short to ground condition within the alternator. Vehicle running will intermittently dead short to ground. The vehicle shuts off unexpectedly in this condition and the battery and electrical system is completely shorted and nonfunctional. In this condition I removed the electrical connection to the alternator and voltage was restored. Replaced the cable and observed the short condition again. It is very disturbing that the scope of this issue was not adequately defined initially. I have escalated this to fca directly and was provided with a reference number 76150991, they have said that there is nothing they can do and the repair is out-of-pocket until Chrysler engineering to the NHTSA makes a different decision. I truly believe there are several people who will unknowingly replace the battery and start driving again, putting their lives and others on the road at risk.

I got a 2013 Chrysler 200 from mega auto outlet in stafford,va. 3-30-20 and tried to take it back to mega auto outlet. I called the dealership the next day about why there wasn't a inspection sticker on the windshield and why was there some much noise from the rear. The salesman then told me that there was a inspection sticker on the windshield and told him there wasn't and I was going to bring the car back because it was illegal to sell a car without a inspection sticker. But he refused to take the car back and said to me if I was to bring the car back that the police would there and not to to bring car back. I took to local garage to find out what was wrong with the car because it was making noises in the rear of car and the airbag light was on. I found tout that there was all kinds of problems with the 2013 Chrysler 200 and it was unsafe to drive. I don't know what else to do?.

While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. It has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. Luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine. . . Until it doesn't again.

I have an appointment to have the Chrysler dealership look at it because it has thrown some serv awd code to me twice now when putting the car in drive but then goes out and no codes are able to be read but this happens concurrently with sudden braking issues it seems like! happens usually when slowing down quickly but can happen at anytime and has varied in conditions as to when the problem flared up.

As I am driving the parkway going about 60 mph my car with out any warning started with flashing red on the dashboard. The temperature gauge started going from hot to cold and the engine symbol flashed on dash board. I was in the left hand lane with a significant amount of traffic passing me. Within 2-3 minutes as I started to go down hill the dash flashed steering will be disabled, then autobrading with be disabled. The radio at this point shut off and it was difficult to steer the car. There was little acceleration when I tried to give it gas to keep with the pace of the other vehicles attempting to move to the side of the road. I put my hazardous flashers on but because I did not have a dash board screen I was sure they were working everything electrical seemed to be off. I finally made it to the side of the road and the car went about 3 feet and stopped. I was not able to put the car in park once I got to the side of the road. It was difficult for the tow company to pull the vehicle because the wheels were locked and they had to use special equipment.

50 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 09/13/2019

"takata recall". To begin, my car wouldn't accelerate, I'd be driving and it would hesitate then take off reallty hard as to even jerk. Did this a couple of times before I took it in to the dealership, one place told me it was nothing wrong, took it to another dealership because it kept stalling as I was on the highway and they said it was an electrical issue. Then another issue occurred with the dash illuminating telling me my airbags alert displaying on my dash (2x)took it back to dealership, though they kept it for a week, they said it was because someone kicked the wiring loose under my passenger seat. No one has ever sat in my back seat. Now my car is in the shop because at first the malfunction light illuminated, drove my car to work, returned to my car and it wouldn't start, had roadside jumpstart it, and it started, went back out later and it wouldn't start, as I tried to get out, my dash lit up and I had to push the button for it to turn off, as I'm walking away, my car literally tries to accelerate on its own, as if I hit my remote start. Had it taken into the dealership. They diagnosed my car as having a faulty climate control module ( first off, I drive 17 miles to and from work everyday, my climate control has been beyond functional, I literally have to turn it off because it gets so cold in my car) and they also said my car stalled because of a bad battery, and said the burning I smelled on the passenger door was a faulty wire and thats why its not functioning properly, which they're repairing, but charging me for it. I have had so many issues with this car since I purchased it. When I'm driving and turn the wheel to the left, it sounds like something is going to break, also my breaks will lock up on me if it's raining and I'll slide ( really)?? this car has been nothing less then a lemon.

Car had been parked for about 5 hours. When I went to restart car made a noise like it was struggling to start. Turned car off and check oil appears to be full. Went to restart car and it would not restart. Multiple attempts were made to start car and while all lights and beeping came on car would not start again over a 15 min period. Can not push break down and when push the start button nothing happens. Car has also stalled out multiple times while driving in the last year. Chrysler dealership states its due to oil and it appears car is burning oil very fast. Chrysler states that the car will not start due to a safety mechanism to not allow the engine to overheat due to low oil. As oil has appeared full and checked multiple time unsure as to why the car would do this.

In 3 weeks time the car stalled midway in the highway while driving as if it were going to turn off. I took it in for repairs and it was the shock plugs. Then the brakes were not working. I took the car to replace all four brakes. A day later the battery light came on. After driving my son to school the car pulled back and shook and shut down. I took it back in for repairs and it was the alternator. Today the windshield wipers froze midway. This is the most unsafe car and all should be recalled in general.

Failure Date: 01/07/2019

My car was driving just fine until I went to reverse out of the parking spot I was parked in. I pushed the brake down to release the emergency brake and all of a sudden my brake got harder to push down. It displays on my screen the �brake� is on but it's not. It almost feels like my brakes went out but it's so hard to push them down. Luckily it happened while I was in a parking lot rather then on a main road or even the highway. I took it to the dealership and was told it was my brake booster. It's no way after two years of having this car that anything this serious with my brakes should've happened at all.
