2012 Chrysler 200: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jan 25, 2023 · Electrical · MT

The alternator went out and fried the battery. You could smell like something burnt then the dash lights started flashing like the traction control then the abs light then everything started flashing and the car died and was completely dead. Then when I had the dealer put a new battery in the car he said they had to unhook the alternator so it wouldn’t catch the car on fire. While I moved it, my son said his 300 chrysler did the same thing and their was a recall on his, but theirs not one on the 200s

Car would not accelerate over 20 miles and hour after the traction control and ABS light came on. The car then rapidly accelerated and worked fine until I reached work. When driving home it did it again and wouldn't resolve itself. I took it to the chrysler dealer and 1 week and 1,200.00 later they informed me my car was fixed and that a faulty sensor was the issue and that it was very common.

Started with the ABS and traction control lights coming on, my cruise control stopped coming on and a week later I pulled out of the bank and stopped alone side of the curb and the car just shut off, no restarting at all nothing happens, the right info panel said no bus, its at the chrysler dealer ship now and they can find nothing wrong with it at all, even though it wont come on.

To start off the ABS and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything . Almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the e brake and start grinding . No matter how many times I change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking . Lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and I had to replace it . My speedometer just died on me today and I have no clue how that happened .

Bought the car new, on day 2 at around 80 miies, the front brake warped the passenger side front rotor ,car could barely stop.took it to the dealer and was told it was a faulty rotor, dealer replaced at no charge, approx 3 months later the same thing happened, the dealer replaced both front rotors and said that chrysler had a bunch of faulty rotors. Tried to avoid driving the car anywhere that had any large hills or mountains. Moved to florida shortly after the last repair and thought the dealer had actually fixed the problem, but in 2016 I went back to pa. For a vacation and the first time I drove in the mountains, I had the same brake problem, I had to avoid the mountains. Got home, I replaced everything in the front brakes but the master cylinder and ABS system., thought this time it had to be fixed. Then in the fall of 2017 we had to evacuate the state of florida due to a hurricane and we went to north carolina to stay for 5 days. The first big hill we encountered on the freeway the same problem happened, the front of the car vibrated badly and the brakes couldn't hold the car back. Still not working properly very worried about the brakes and still have to avoid mountainous areas. Was quoted a price of approx. $750-$800 to fix. Have already spent $350 to fix it.
