2013 Chrysler 200: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Nov 4, 2022 · Engine · IN

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.

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.

I purchased a used chrysler 200 touring 2014, on 2/24/2015. The year make of the vehical is 2014 on the inside sticker, but the model # of the engine is 2013. The vehical was parked in the garage as, I turned the key to start the car the car engine began to make a knock, clunking sound and it hesitated to start. The engine sounded like it was about to break, or engine damage had occured. This happened on two occations within 6 months. In more than 5 occations driving on the freeway to speed up, or to change lanes the vechical accelerating is stuck and keeps acceleratimg in an upward rhythem. In addition, there is no control of the gas pedal during time the vehical is accelerating. I brought the car in to be checked at honda where I purchased the vehical, honda this day had the chrysler dealership do a diagnostic test on my chrysler touring 200, 2013 model. I was told that nothing was found wrong with the vehical, and no additional service needed. I have been doing research with safecar.gov reading all the complaints and recalls for the chrysler 200 touring 2013. I am shocked that they had not been more courteous, or helpful about the potential risk, and problems descriptions of the chrysler touring 200 2013. I was turned away just like all the other customers, but what if my car stalls on the freeway, than what? My car is a potential danger and I cannot afford to buy another car. I fear I will be a victum of the "lemon law."

After driving for a short amount of time ( 20-30 minutes) - when making turns or turning the steering wheel or going over speed bumps I start hearing a knocking / clunking noise coming from the left side of the car. The sound makes me very uneasy and it make you feel like the front end of the car is about to come apart. Not sure what is causing this problem, but it is a problem, and you should not be hearing this sound what so ever in any car! There needs to be a recall because after looking up this issue online, it didn't take long to find that their are a lot of other chrysler owners experiencing the same problem!

I was involved in an accident on sunday june 8, 2014. My son and I were crossing at an intersection after stopping at a flashing red light half way through the intersection we were hit by an SUV moving at a high rate of speed. The vehicle struck us in the front passenger door at full speed knocking us all the way across the intersection and over the curb before we came to a stop at no point during the crash did the side curtain airbags deploy. My son was driving and I was in the passenger seat both of us ended up in the emergency room. Him for his upper back and me for my lower back and my leg where the door was bent in and slammed into my leg.
