While driving, usually decelerating or getting ready to stop or already stopped and getting ready to accelerate the engine will stall or completely shut off, will be completely hot, will take about 15-20 minutes and then will start again. This has caused my son safety issues where he's completely stopped running on a busy road and then had to push the car into either a parking lot without power steering (hard to do by himself at 18 yo) or into a driveway. This has also happened in the country at night. No lights come on except once when the ABS and traction lights came on. The vehicle will vibrate slightly before each episode. The last episode we had to have it towed. Has happened about 6 times. Now no longer driving due to safety!!

I have had my car major repaired in service over 24 times . I say lemon law! The first year I drive what dealership loaned me to drive while attempting to fix major mechanical problems. I put 5000$ down on my chrysler 200 s 2011. It's my 3rd chrysler to own. This one has caused so much headaches an out of pocket expense I don't know what to do! It sits again at dealership needing 3000$ more motor work. I drive it it totally dies losing all control no power steering on interstate .I-49 bentonville ark. Almost hit by 18 wheeler. Awful!!! The car starts an stalls out! Lights flicker in dashboard. Blows cold air when should be hot! Heater not worked 2 yrs now. Take the key out an the car stays running! It's cursed I truly believe . The service department has never seen such! I don't feel I should pay what's owed on my remaining loan to chrysler. I've paid dearly since I've had this car. It's been a headache no one should have to go thru. Been stranded in arkansas way to many times an it's time I spoke up on the problems that I've had with this chrysler 200s. 2011! I pray nobody has had to experience this issue. Not safe at all !!!

Going down the highway the electrical system shut down. This made steering, and braking almost impossible. All the gauges, lights, and wipers also went off. After coasting to the side of the highway and turning the key to the off position, was able to restart the auto. The auto shows no vehicle codes when connected to a scanner.

The car accelerates and if I hit a bump or anything in the road my car will start to sway back and forth and has actually spun me around in a 360 motion on more than one occasion. Sometimes you dont even have to go over a bump or anything it just shakes and sways. It does it on any roadway, any condition. Its a death trap. I have almost been in very bad accidents 3 times because I lost comtrol because of the swaying. Once was a near head on with and 18 wheeler. Chrysler need to do something about these cars.
