Suspension Problems of Chrysler 200 - part 2

Took car for routine tire rotation, 44,000 miles on car. Told could not rotate due to rear passenger tire "cupping". Did research, was a recall for 2015 Chrysler for faulty shocks in rear of car. I called Chrysler, told me my VIN was not included. Very dangerous, shock could break, tire could blow out. I will have to pay for the new faulty shocks myself and 2 new rear tires.

I've had problems with the air conditioning it won't turn on after the heater is on the next day it won't turn on and when the car needs a oil change the engine light will turn on and then the car start acting funny it will just turn off in the st and it won't turn back on and I can't take it off parking to make the car and then when it does turn on the speed won't work it won't go over 15 mph but I can hear the engine and the meters go up.

(1) I purchased my car in October 2016. My car cut off in the middle of a very busy city street intersection. I had to keep blowing my horn and keep hazard lights on. My two children were in the car with me! it has cut off a total of 3 times since I purchased it, less than 2 years ago. I took more than 3 minutes to start up again. (2)the car also jolts, while driving, a lot causing everyone in the car to push forward off of the seats.

I was told by wheelworks that my tires were cupping because the front struts and back shocks were bad. There is a visible leak in the left front strut and the left back shock. The vehicle has 28,,700 miles. The front tire was making a noise after the tires were rotated at the dealership during an oil change.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle was hesitating at any rate of speed and the oil had been low however the contact was uncertain if there was an internal fracture or failure that had caused the failure with no presence of a leak. In addition, the dealer david Dodge Chrysler Jeep, 1801 us-202, glen mills, PA 19342, (610) 358-5300 had been unable to provide a specific repair remedy so the vehicle was not repaired yet. The dealer had mentioned that they serviced the vehicle with a warranty but had not disclosed specific diagnosis information. In addition, the contact had the rear shocks replaced twice and was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v392000 (suspension) however the vehicle exhibited the same failure as the recall campaign. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

On January 13th 2018 at 5am in the morning the car went into a state of emergency to where I couldnt even break and lost control of the vehicle the transmission light then came on and the car wouldnt cut off for hours. Took the car to russ darrow Chrysler for suspensions issues and electrical malfunctions because they couldnt locate any codes for what I had saw on the car. Although my car was not on the recall list I had the same issues that other cars this type did have and it costed me $2989 for repairs.

The car jumps and jerks all over the road when driving and the road becomes uneven,has bumps or is anything but smooth. I have gone through 2 sets of rear tires due to the tire wearing down on the inside of the tire all the way down to the radial cords. I bought the car from a dealer used. 3 days after purchase date I was driving on a grooved road and the car started swaying and swerving to the point of loosing control and going into the oncoming lane. Luckily there was no traffic or this could have been tragic. At the time I thought I did something wrong. Then a couple days later I was driving 40-45 mph and hit a bump in the road which caused the car to jump and jerk in turn I overcorrected and spun around in the road. This is very unsafe and somebody will be killed if Chrysler doesnt correct the problem. I am a woman and have no clue why this is happening. I can say the car is getting more dangerous to drive but I dont hsve s choice I hsve to drive it. Its all I have. Please do a recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. While driving 40 mph, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle pulled to the right. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree and then landed in the middle of the street, causing the axle to detach. There were no warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to kendall Dodge Chrysler Jeep (13355 s w 137th Ave, miami, FL 33186, phone number: (786) 231-2000), but was not diagnosed or repaired.

Drove the car from germantown MD to washington DC for a program, got in the car two hours later. Door unlocked with remote, place foot on brake, dash lights and radio turns on car won't start. Stop recognizing my remote in the car. I had people try hooking up jumper cables, nothing happen. After two hours of trying to figure out what's wrong car starts. Drive the car home with no issues. Next morning car won't start same thing happening. I looked down and noticed the car showing in neutral when the knob turned to park. The electrical system reading my car in neutral but it's not therefore it won't start. I took my car in for the recall and criswell only did a updating of software, the rewiring of the electrical system wasn't done. The recall wasn't done as called for and the remote is a replacement after they lost my original.

The car has a several second hesitation when placing your foot on the gas when starting from either a stopped position or a slowed position. The car has stalled on several occasions when going from reverse to drive, when slowly backing up it looses power and stalls as I put my foot on the brake to change from reverse to drive. The emergency brake has come on while slowing down coming down an incline causing a car behind me to have to swerve from hitting me my vehicle was going approximately 25 miles an hour at the time. All of these have been reported to Chrysler and motorworld where I have been told there is nothing that can be done.

My car has 42k miles. Air bag light is on. Second issue is a clunking noise in left front wheel and can be felt in steering wheel while in motion.

First, there is the hvac/windshield defrost. My concern with that condition is that my vehicle is my main source of travel and to have the hvac to work properly in the summer is vital as well, as having a clear windshield. A breakdown at night, an accident, hitting a pole hole, something or someone would be far worse than a mere inconvenience. Incidentally, my intended use of the vehicle was made quite clear to the sales staff when I bought it. Second, and the matter of far greater concern to me is the transmission. Car making clucking noise, vibrating, jerking while shifting gears and launching while driving as if someone hit me from the back. Third, vehicle is only 2 years old and has had to have the drive shaft replaced. Which in return I've been without vehicle for more then 14 days and occur extra expenses of car rentals, tires and wheel alignment due to irregular wear. Fourth, hesitation on attempt to accelerate. I was informed that issue would be resolved with replacement of drive shaft. Defective drive shaft was the reason for delay and jerking. Fifth, excessive gas burning. I was informed that exist because of drive shaft. Once drive shaft was replaced it didn't resolve issue. I was giving a formula to calculate gas mileage, which was given to dealer. Car averaging 16mpg. Per car sticker fuel economy: highway 29/ city 18. Car is driven mostly on highway without a lot of stop and go traffic. Our state's lemon law dictates that a vehicle carries a presumption that it is a lemon if a condition exists �that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven and the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by the manufacturer or its agents, and the buyer or lessee has at least once directly notified the manufacturer of the need for the repair of the nonconformity. �.

My vehicle is in a collision shop since Dec. 19, 2016 for front end repairs. The collision repair shop is gerber collision & glass, 153 PA-100, fogelsville, PA 18051, it has been brought to my attention that there is not a recall but a back order on a support bracket part # 68247600aa. Chrysler corporation has not recalled this part, however they have stopped producing the original part, and are now re building the part, and thus claiming the bracket is not available to any certified Chrysler dealers and consumers, and thus my vehicle and collision mechanic has been waiting to be complete the repairs on my Chrysler 200s, and we have not received any information on the status of this part, from Chrysler corporation, or an ets of when they will begin shipping the support bracket to the over 600 consumers, and business's waiting for this part for the same vehicle year, make and model. My vehicle has been in shop since December 19, 2016, and Chrysler corporation is not providing me with any information on the safety or status of this part, and furthermore they have not addressed my investment in this vehicle, which I am unable to drive. I have not received any compensation for the vehicle, and have not had my vehicle for over 1 month. There are many people involved in trying to resolve this issue, however it is a Chrysler corporation issue which they are failing to provide consumers and businesses with information and or the status and safety of this vehicle part.

The vehicle has continual jerking,rattling, and bouncing at the rear with the slightest dip in road within city limits and also on the highway and sounds as if the vehicles is about to fall apart. When driving the car will accelerate itself causing me to hard brake to avoid collision.

Was driving car going only 25-30 mph and made an attempt to slow down to a stop which I had plenty of time and space between car in front of me and my front fender to do, as I applied brakes I notice it go all the way to the floor and my car wouldn't stop which soon after having plenty of space to do it led to a rear end collision as my brakes failed to work correctly when applied. I have a police report to verify the incident on 09/27/2016 in appleton, WI. Because I was going at a really slow speed at the time luckily no one was really hurt when this occurred around 10:00 am in an area with little to no traffic at the time, but even know I was only going around 20 when there was an impact my car which was new prior to this accident is now considered under state law in wisconsin a salvage vehicle as repairs exceeded the value at the time of 7000. 00.

Ii'm still waiting for over a year to get my car fixed for an airbag recall.

On July 4 the abs light came on for no reason several times , staying on for long periods of time. There was a clicking noise in the steering colum and wheel . It sounded like it was coming from the left side. On July 5 , I was driving to work on a back road with several curves . The abs light came on again . Clicking was still happening as well. All of a sudden I felt like I was sliding on a sheet of ice. I swirved from side to side and could not get my car under control. Then my vehicle was on two wheels on the passenger side . Which then slide off the road and down a embankment turning several times and landing on the roof of the car. The air bags never deployed. I am now suffering with a broken collar bone due to the accident.

The vehicle has had repeated electrical problems where the instrument panel will suddenly start flashing service transmission, service airbags, service brakes and during that time the electronic gear shift disengages from drive and alternates from park to low while the vehicle is moving. The dealership finally after two years of complaining and being turned away because the car was not storing an codes found the vehicle had a faulty electronic module in the transmission. This transmission has been service and reprogrammed 4 times since it's purchase in June of 2014 and now there is a new recall for the same issue. I'm not safe in this death trap.

Was involved in a 3 -car accident on 04/27/2016 per the way he vehicle was hit and the damages, the airbags should have deployed, no airbags deployed and car would not turn off. . . Meaning the push to start would not turn off engine. . . The vehicle was in motion when accident occurred and there is no reason exactly why the airbags didn't deploy being that the axle is damaged as well.

The car was bought with a 7 year 100,000 mile certified warranty,with 29,000 miles. At about 31,000 miles while city street driving the brakes started grinding and squeaking when coming to a stop, took to dealer, they said every thing was fine. Another 200 miles same problem, returned to dealer they changed the brake pads. 200-300 more miles returned to dealer with the same problem they said they changed the rotors. Driving one day applied brakes and the abs system failed and the brakes did a rapid thumping sound and I had no brakes. I was able to maneuver and not hit anyone, once again they checked the rotors and the brakes, said ok. My front rims are black from brake dust. At night when I turn the heating system on I can see a spark behind the nob. What is up with that?. I can't put a specific date on the events because it happens when ever I drive. The car pulls to the right on freeway when driving, and sounds like the bottom is falling out when driving city streets.

I have brought my car to the dealership repair shop 18 times about something is wrong with my transmission. I have all paperwork to back it up that these technicians and Chrysler's star keep telling me that either they don't hear anything or no it's normal. Well today my check engine light came on and the screen said service transmission. But there's nothing wrong with it I thought. To make matters more upsetting to me on Wednesday the 23rd of September I got a call from the dealership if the tech can take it home overnight 9 miles away to see if what I feel or hear (hesitation, rattling, and jerking) is true. Normal yet again! by the way the airbag light is still on waiting for them to call because they are waiting to get a new wiring harness to fix the issue. The airbag part has been in the shop 7 times going on 8 and has been repaired that many times. Oh and the airbag a so called safety issue isn't really a safety issue according to the dealership and Chrysler. They sent me home with it. The same tech that said the car tranny is normal. I have children and yet they keep telling me the 2015 Chrysler 200 is suppose to be this way. Someone even had the nerve to guarantee me that if I'm involved in an accident it will deploy. Chrysler and the techs that go through all this training still can not fix a car with issues. Even with my car having stayed over the 30 day mark with the same issues that can not be resolved Chrysler will not buy back my car. Please someone look into it.

Van horn Chrysler and Dodge in Plymouth WI. Sold me a vehicle that was in a major front end accident. When they sold me the air the airbag was not attached. The steering was pulling to the right. The suspension was severely damage, it was so severe that when I took the car to Chrysler, I spend money there to get the problems repaired. Because van horn wouldn't pay for the repairs. After Chrysler couldn't make the repairs, because the car had been in a major accident from the previous owner. Chrysler referred me to thei body shop, where I was out of pocket for another additional repair. I also forward this information to Chrysler customer assistant 1-888-992-1997. My case number there is 277741034. They (Chrysler customer assistant) said the car should have never been sold. They informed roy edwards van horn manger to get in touch with me to make a settle. Which he hasn't as to 10/14/205. Tom boweo was the person that I spoke with at milosch's palace collision center, lake orion mi. (248)276-6653. The car is registered to billy turney. My email address is eturney1@WI. Rr. Com. My phone number is (414)445-8281. My cell number is (414) 793-6615.

I just bought a used 2011 Chrysler 200 and within a weeks time noticed the rear of the vehicle was all over the road every time I hit a bump. It doesnt matter if its a small or large bump either. At first I was not sure what was wrong and I almost took it back to the dealer I bought it from. I climbed under the car and realized on the rear passenger right there was a little fluid leaking from the strut itself so I know that needs to be replaced. I slid over and looked at the drivers side rear which had no fluid leakage. After owning the car a month now, im relalizing that both sides are doing it and only the one strut appears to be leaking. The car is to the point of being unsafe to drive because of this issue. Ive had cars that needed struts replaced before and never have I felt like the car was unsafe to drive. After doing a little research, I find that this is a known issue for this car and Chrysler is aware of it. So why has this issue not been taken care of if its a known issue. I have children that ride in the back seat and I dont even feel safe driving them in the car. I need to get it fixed but its tough to do when you just bought the vehicle and are in need of getting your plates for the car($1700). And to fix this issue I hve been told that it will run me $600 and that doesnt even include certain parts if they are horribly bad as well. Like I said, this is more than just a strut issue but when I do get it fixed I will report my complete findings of everything that needs to be replaced in the suspension.

Swing arm links have been clanking loudly when going over uneven surface. Every time I had it at two different dealerships they always say they're unable to replicate the problem. Talked to a Chrysler service tech and he flat out told me they are notorious for this issue but it gets swept under the rug.

Driver lost control of steering while driving down a dirt road. The vehicle crashed into a tree. All airbags went off. The vehicle was un-driveble afterwords. Insurance adjuster and repair facility indicated that the left front strut had come out of it's housing and was likely the cause of the accident. Chrysler has identified this as a recall for 21000 vehicles but has yet to issue a recall notice. . . Updated 03-23-15 . . . . Updated 04/08/15.

It was snowing lightly and this car could not establish traction. I've had the tires examined and they have been verified by a tire company and a dealership to be in good condition. They are all-weather tires. The dealership felt the problem in a test drive and they don't know what is causing the sway or "fishtail" effect. This effect occurs when there is any type of precipitation on the roads. I've researched on the web and discovered many, many complaints about this. All of the owners are afraid to drive this vehicle if there is any moisture on the roads and none of them have been able to resolve the swaying. Some have tried snow tires, have wheels realigned, replacing various parts. Some say that chrylser employees have claimed it is a "known problem" without a fix. Please get Chrysler to fix this for us.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front of the vehicle failed to stay in position and veered to the right. The contact had to steer the vehicle in excess to keep the vehicle in position. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on multiple occasions and was eventually diagnosed that both front motor mounts had fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,100. Oo.
