Engine shuts off on highway going full speed limit surrounded by heavy traffic. I was terrified. The engine light comes on & can't get car started. Then car starts & engine light goes away. Not to mention transmission is leaking & new transmission was put in 2015. Chrysler can't get me in until 4/19/18 bc its busy season. This may be why windshield wipers come on everytime I turn left.

Without any symptoms or warning my 2012 chrysler 200 experienced total transmission failure while driving in heavy city traffic. While turning left at an intersection I lost all gears. I was nearly rear ended by a city bus. The chrysler dealership that the car was towed to states this is a common issue with the 200 v6.

A few weeks ago, the transmission failed while I was driving on the highway, left me stranded, and without a car for ten days. It seems that chrysler is aware of a drum issue within the transmission in this make and model vehicle and in fact has manufactured a specific 'repair kit' for just this scenario. This repair cost me over $2,600, including a three day car rental for a period where I could no long beg rides to work and had to rent a car at my own expense. Attached are the repair and rental car bills. In my 40 years of car ownership, including several new cars, I have never heard of such significant issue being experience in a vehicle with such low mileage, 61,800, on a well and regularly maintained vehicle. Therefore, I respectfully request that your administration review this incident and record them as a part of a larger case designed to encourage chrysler 'do the right thing' and initiate a recall (silent or public) to correct this known transmission issue.
