About 2yrs ago I had my alternator replaced when I broke down 2hrs from home by Jd ByRider in Owensboro Ky and yesterday I was driving down the street when I noticed my car wouldn’t kick into gear at 35mph. I got to the stop sign when traction light and ABS lights and brake light lit up on my dash and my stereo clock went black! I shut it off Tried to start it back and it just clicked. After finally getting it to start back up, on my message center it read rear lamp bulb out and dash just started flashing different things. It was so fast that I couldn’t catch every light that flashed. JD ByRyder replaced the alternator for me as my car was under warranty at that time. I’ve also had electrical problems with power windows and charging components in my car. When my car did this yesterday my wheel locked and I wasn’t able to steer or anything so it posed a safety risk of crashing. This is a repeated problem and it needs to be checked into as it could’ve been very fatal should I had been on a highway going faster than 35mph. You can get the repair invoice from JD ByRyder in Owensboro under [XXX] 2013 Chrysler 200. Car is available for y’all to check upon request if needed. Due to covid I don’t have the money to have it repaired again. I also have grandchildren that are with me everytime I am in my car. This could’ve been a serious fatal accident. Email me with results from this [XXX] and my phone number is [XXX] call or text if need to get in touch with me faster than emailing. Thank you and god bless.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2013 chrysler 200. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the brake warning light remained illuminated. The brake pedal felt spongy when depressed, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was serviced multiple times for the failure. The ABS module, brake booster and brake master cylinder were replaced however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the vehicle occasionally stalled and loss motive power while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 13,000.
Just purchased the car and less than 24 hours after buying, the car sits dead. Noticed there was no coolant in the overflow so I added coolant and once I got into my vehicle it had the battery light illuminated. I drove it about 2 miles and the traction control light came on, the airbag light came on, the electrical system light came on, the ABS light came on, and the check engine light came on before my vehicle completely died and has not moved since! I jumped it but it stalled out before I could even get the hood closed and drive anywhere. I replaced the battery but the issue here is the alternator! Why hasn't this been recalled yet??
The car only has 76,000 miles on it , when I put it in park it stalls and shuts off. Also my ABS is on and it's caused by the electrical system
While driving at a rate of 50 MPH, the hazard lights came on without touching the control to turn it on. When I touched the control, the lights would go off for a few seconds and return flashing. This continued to occur for the next 15 miles at which time, I pulled into a parking lot. When I turned the car off.. The hazard lights came on again and could not be cut off. Other strange things that have occurred is the ABS light coming on and then the car with traction streaks showing.
Something electrical is draining my battery. When I drive, the check engine light comes on, the ABS, traction, and brake light comes on while driving. When I'm idle nothing happens. When I'm on the highway it jerks and stalls a bit. I have to accelerate a lot to keep it going. I've had the battery replace 2 times in the past 3 months - brand new. It keep draining my battery. The alternator was fine. I took it to the dealership they told me they can't read it if the lights are not on. But it only comes on when I'm driving. The lights in the car, headlights, and radio all go out while I'm driving then back on. The headlights flicker. I'm about to need to have the battery replaced now a third time with no help from the dealership. My engine light is still on and and it drives rough and I smell gas when I'm driving. I just bought this car in august and I've had more issues with it than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I've only received 1 recall for the vehicle, I believe it should be thoroughly checked because it's too many issues for a car that's only 4 years old.
