My son was driving his car which is a 2013 Chrysler 200 when the engine suddenly began to knock loudly and then the car shut off in traffic. There were no breaks or steering which nearly resulted in my son having an accident. He was able to get the car pulled to the side. Then we had the car towed to the shop. The mechanics said the dipstick showed no and that the knock was the result of an engine failure due to no oil in the oil pan. There was excessive debris in the small amount of oil that remained in the oil pan. The mechanic said that the debris came from bearings that have worn away. The engine is not repairable. It was noted that there was a recall on 2013 Chrysler 200 vehicles for this very same problem. However the recall for some reason excluded this specific car. Apparently the recall did not go far enough to cover all the cars affected.

The engine completely shuts off without warning when at an idle or slowing down to make a stop. It has done this now about 12 times within the last month. My car just made it to 53,000 miles and has always had regular oil changes and maintenance. So far, I have been able to put it in park and restart. I was taking my daughter to school yesterday and it stalled in the middle of the road and the engine died. The first time that it ever happened I put the car in reverse to back out of my driveway and it died three different times. No warnings or lights. I have taken it to a mechanic shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic test and...nothing. The engine has died and stalled 3 times since being in the shop.

Approximately 2 months after purchasing my 2013 chrysler 200 ltd (6-cyl.; mileage approx. 79k), the car began randomly losing power and stalling out while I was driving. When this occurred, I only had a few seconds to slowly coast to the side of the road to get off the highway. The car would not restart, and I had to call a wrecker. This has now happened 5 times. All of my trips were local when the engine stalls occurred, and each stall came without any warning while I was simply cruising down a highway or a city street, and not traveling up or down any significant slopes. When the car engine died, the dashboard indicators all illuminated while the engine was dying. I have had chrysler service respond to the scene immediately to get diagnostics, and the car is not throwing out any diagnostic codes. When the engine dies, it can be restarted after the car sits for awhile... Maybe a few hours. The PCM (computer) was replaced and all software patches have been installed, but that didn't fix the problem. The car has been in the chrysler dealership repair shop over a month now, while they wait hopefully for a technical wizard to impart exploratory repair magic over their star network. I sure would like to have my car back....working. I was fortunate to have been able to get my car off the road on the occasions that it died. I could have been in a very dangerous situation otherwise. It is noted that the federal safety agency closed their investigation of this problem with the chrysler 200, shortly after a software patch was released in sept. 2012.
