2012 Chrysler 200 body problems

Filed Feb 18, 2022 · Body · OH

THE 2016 CHRYSLER 200 has a defect in it , the drain hoses become plugged and flood the interior of the car. There is no easy way to access these hoses without taking apart the cowl under the hood of the car and removing the windshield wipers to access the drain. It has happened now three times costing 500 each time to have it cleaned and blown out ... There needs to be something done about this . As it can cause electrical problems in the car with all the water that floods in through the heater area... Chrysler is well aware of this problem all the way back to the Sebring yet they have done nothing to correct it . They ever tell the buyer that this need to be cleaned and they really provide no access to the owner to clean the area without disassemble of the cowl area and windshield wipers. Which is more than most buyers can do , when you take it to Chrysler they tell you its Maintenace . Yet it is no where in the book Nore covered by their Maintenace package. It will rot out the car Floor boards and will cause the car to be worth less .... Chrysler should have to make this right with all owners either offering a free cleaning every year of a rebate on their vehicle

The car accumulates debris below the windshield under the plastic tray which clogs up a drain tube which then makes the water flood back through the heater core into the passenger side of the car . Wetting the floor soaking the carpet and causing rust and black mold. I had it fixed once, but after investigation into the chrysler cars that this is an on going problem with all their vehicles for yrs now. This needs to be recalled and this design flaw fixed. Either they need to have free maintenance of this or they need to have a separate tube for rain drainage and a different tube for AC heat drainage.. It has cause depreciation of my over all resale value of this car plus caused carpet padding damage rust and possibly mold in my car.. Chrysler keeps laying back on the owners saying maintenance problem .. And charging over 500 to fix it. It's not like an owner can easily clean this area it involves take apart the windshield wipers etc
