2011 Chrysler 200: won't start

Filed Jan 24, 2022 · Electrical, Engine · MD

1) The engine suddenly cut off, power braking and power steering were gone. This happens randomly under any circumstances, with absolutely no precursors. The car will not start for about an hour, and after that time it starts with absolutely no issues, no check engine light, nothing. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. 2) While driving on the highway at about 65mph, all power was lost, and ability to control the car was extremely limited, and this happened multiple times. Only by pure fortune I avoided a fatal crash when the car died in rush hour. 3) After the first time this has happened the car was taken to a mechanic, and they were not able to replicate the issue under any circumstances that they tried, and there was nothing wrong with the car that would warrant this, as it has never been in an accident, and was well maintained. 5) No, has not been inspected by anyone besides the standard state inspection and the mechanic that attempted to fix it. 6) There was never and still isn't anything wrong with the car that I know of, no weird noises, no engine light, no issues whatsoever besides it randomly dying and then coming back to life like nothing happened. ------------------------- As you may see, there are multiple cases of this happening and it was never adressed: https://www.carcomplaints.com/Chrysler/200/2011/engine/engine_dies_while_driving.shtml

This is the third time the engine completely shut off in the middle of driving. First time it started back up after 5 minutes. Second time started back up after being jumped eventhough the battery had charge. This last time the car would not start. It has the power it was turning over but the engine would not start. Power steering turned off in both occasions. I had to have me vehicle towed and it still will not start. I was driving approximately 60 MPH on a paved highway route 244, it turned off on a straight away, no hills or turns.

The engine died when idle at a traffic light. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine. This also happened while I was in front of a railroad track. I was very afraid that that car would not start. I was able to restart the vehicle after I had calmed myself. This is is very dangerous so I took it to have diagnostics performed at dealer. The vehicle report showed no computer codes indicating failure.

I purchased a 2011 chrysler 200 in july of 2011. I have had multiple incidents where my vehicle has stalled with my foot on the brake sitting at a stop light. I have taken in the vehicle to be serviced 4 times in 1 year for this reason. And I have been told each time it is something different causing the problem. Also I have had two incidents where my vehicle would not start. I have had to have it towed twice in one month to the dealership, and both times I have been told it was my fuel pump. And there is one other time I took my vehicle in because it would have a slow crank and this incident I was told it was my battery so they replaced that. Also just to mention my vehicle is currently only has 17,280 miles on it.
