Car stalled while going down highway. Engine light not on, has gas, no over heating. 3rd time this has happened. Wait a couple hours and it starts with no problem. I was told by mechanic it was probably just bad gas and not to worry. Cause no codes came up. Then today i was almost hit.

My car's check engine light came on. I took the car to my personal mechanic because it is out of warranty. My mechanic told me that I had a service bulletin issued for the problem I am having, which is cylinder #4 misfire. The service bulletin is 09-002-14 Rev B. It extends the warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. I was told by the dealer and Chrysler Customer Care that my vehicle was not part of this service bulletin, even though I am experiencing the same issue as the other Chrysler 200s that are. I believe my car should be covered under this bulletin especially since Chrylser knew this problem existed since 2014, right after I bought my vehicle, 7/2013. I should have been informed at the time. The service bulletin does not exclude any vehicle. It says Models, not specific models. This repair will cost me over $3,000 and I believe Chrysler should uphold the service bulletin and fix my car. I talked to one customer service representative and that person didn't understand why my car wasn't covered but never called me back like she said she would. I called again and was told my car was not part of this service bulletin. All Chrysler 200s should be part of this service bulletin if they experience the same issue as others.

Vehicle died while driving 40-45 MPH in traffic would not restart until after sitting for 30 min to 2 hours. There was no warning before it died, it was running normally. After it restarted the service engine light flashed then stayed on solid for a couple days. I was told it was the crankshft position sensor so I had that replaced. The car then 3 weeks later while driving started chugging really bad. I was then told the ignition coil on #2 cylinder was misfiring. I had that replaced along with all spark plugs and car ran the same after driving 4-5 miles then died and no restart. The repair shop found the #2 ignition coil melted into the valve cover and it had also cracked the valve cover. They replaced the valve cover and the #2 ignition coil and it happened again. The car is currently at the chrysler dealership and premliminary estimate is an electrical problem sending too much voltage to that cylinder.so far there has been 2 ignition coils melted. I have been without ability to drive my car for 4 weeks now. Please put a recall on this problem !

I have owned this car for 3 years. A year after owning it I began having issues with the engine shutting down while driving. It is random and happens with no warning, no check engine light or any indication that it's going to happen. It has happened in traffic where I was almost rear ended by a semi because when the engine dies I lose power steering and can't get it off the road. Sometimes it will restart right away other times it takes an hour or more. This has happened while on the highway and city streets. Most commonly it happen when I have to take my foot off the accelerator and then reapply, like slowing down for a car turning in front of me, taking a turn and taking an exit ramp. This has happened many times over the last couple years. I have had it at a dealership and they can't diagnose a problem or recommend a fix. I have also been in contact with the manufacturer and they told me there was nothing they could do and I would just have to drive the car and take it back in if the problem worsens. That is not an option because it is either going to get me stranded on the side of the road or in an accident.

This is my second compliant, though I should've been complaining since buying this vehicle in june 2016. My car wouldn't start and the engine would stall, no battery issue. All of a sudden a month later it started. I took it to my mechanic he said the engine light said a catalytic converter...but the catalytic converter does not need replaced. I have have my serpentine belt replaced 7 times in the last 3 years. I can hear my engine shifting roughly. In the month I bought the vehicle, I took it to the dealership to see what was wrong and why my RPM was going up when parked and the engine would stall. They told me if I didn't use the different fuel (which I only did twice) that it would stop. I was stuck with the car, and still am. My 'gas cap' light has been going on and off for years. I had my fuel system checked and a valve was replaced, sensors have been replaced. My engine now sounds worse than ever with knocking, whirring and shakes almost always. I'm told there is an electrical issue and/or the engine tensioner but no one can truly pinpoint the issue....it's extremely frustrating. Please recall this lemon. I have told everyone possible to never buy this brand of vehicle. This purchase was the worst mistake of my life.
