My 2013 chrysler 200 stalls intermittently without warning. Sometime at stop light or when decelerating. Have driven through a intersection to see it stall. Have to then stop. Put into park and restart. Very scary.
2013 Chrysler 200 engine complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 150, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My car has just under 50,000 miles on it and is well maintained. Twice in the past week, the engine has stalled while coming to a stop at the exact same stop sign. There is no warning prior, during, or after. I have been able to put the car in park and it has started right back up.
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.
Car shut down when slowing and turning and randomly. There is not warning and car will not immediately start back up. Mostly on city streets but in traffic areas and curved roads. So when turning left and slowing down for that turn it just shuts down and I barely make to pull it to the side of the road and I had to have it towed home when it wouldn't start back up right away. This has happened 5-6 times in the last 3 months after I have purchased the car from instant auto.
I have 3 chrysler vehicles and every one has had the heater core go bad! Last year it was our 2013 dodge avenger. Now it is the 2013 and 2014 chrysler 200's we own. The heat stopped working in all 3 of these vehicles...all within 1 year of eachother. There has to be some sort of defect in order for the same thing to happen to all 3 of these chryslers. I wanted to report this if you keep any sort of record of complaints at all in hope of getting a recall made on this. Just by looking on the internet it looks like many others have this problem as well. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On multiple occasions the car has just shut off on its own while in motion. This has happened at least 10 times. Does not matter what speed you are going, the engine will just shut off on its own. The most recent incidents were on a highway going around 55mph and happened twice within a 8 minute period. The first time was going over a bridge and the car shut off. Waited about 3 minutes and the car started. 5 minutes later the car shut off again. Did not restart for another 10 minutes.
After my vehicle was recalled for the TCM, it has not worked properly. I almost got into an accident because the car seems to slip into neutral while driving. I will be driving and suddenly the power drops and then it pops back into drive if you press the gas hard enough. It's dangerous and embarrassing.
My 2013 chrysler 200 s keeps stalling. I replaced the fuel pump, bought a new battery, and had my alternator and transmission looked at, all the transmission shop found was an oil pressure code, and they cleared it.
My 2013 chrysler stalls out when driving or at idle. I keep up with maint.
My engine keeps stalling when I decelerate or come to a complete stop. It has done this multiple times in just one week and it's very dangerous. I slowed down on I-77 due to something laying in the highway and my engine shut off. I had to hurt and put it in neutral to crank it back up. Thank god it crunk it in time to keep me from being hit by another vehicle or semitrailer truck.
2013 chrysler 200 limited stalls out while driving. Started sept. 2019, and has happen (eight times) almost monthly or every 500 miles. No warning- no power steering; no power brakes. After stalling- car cranks and can take up to 1-2 hrs before engine will turn over again. I have taken vehicle to four separate mechanics; including chrysler dealership and not one has been able to diagnose problem. Also, car does not throw any codes. I have replaced the battery; fuel pump and had PCM update and vehicle still stalling out while driving.

The alternator keeps going out on my car. It's a 2013 chrysler 200 lx. I put 3 alternators in less than 5 months! A new battery as well! No one seems to know what's the problem. It has to be a re call. I see a lot of owners reporting things like this. Please help!
Engine keeps stalling at stop lights and signs, my kids are in the car and don't want to get hit because of it, car has 129,000 miles always been very well maintained and now only problems. Also we bought the car brand new made every payment on time only to start having problems once it's paid off. So frustrating
My vehicle stalls when I slow down (1-5mph) or stop. When I'm idle the engine feels like it has no power and sometimes it feels as if it misfires. It stalls once a day. Most common moments when it stalls is when I stop going up a hill.
The engine keeps stalling while driving without warning. It is unable to restart for about 30 minutes, then will start up normally as if nothing has happened. I have taken it to chrysler service several times to be told that nothing shows up on the diagnostic and they cannot determine the issue to this very dangerous problem. The problem happens while the car is in motion and can happen anytime regardless of speed, location, or what the car is doing. It happens repeatedly, approximately every 3 weeks.
While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. It has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. Luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine...until it doesn't again.
Driving over 60 or 70'miles per hour on the highway and accelerating too fast (stepping on the gas pedal too much) I.e. Flooring it. The engine will shut down and will not start again for awhile. Once the vehicle starts up then it works fine. Rarely do I need to accelerate that much going that fast but it's happened more than once and the mechanic I went too said his son had the same problem with the same make and model vehicle.
After a few months of having dtc come up for evap and misfire then disappear just a quick as it came up, my vehicle has recently began stalling out while driving, specifically while decelerating or idling. The battery was replaced 2 years ago and tests good every time, as does the alternator, starter, wires, connectors and sensors. Nobody can find any dtc on the obdii or anything else. It's easy to replicate but impossible to decide why. I've talked to the dealership about possible recalls from 2012 concerning the PCM as well as chatted with a few people on the chrysler website and nobody wants to help. This is a very serious situation, as I can prove with video from my dash cam and back up cam. The people on the chrysler website were very rude, and the dealership was not willing to stand behind the product either without charging $300 just to diagnose. It's says right on the website "what is a safety recall? Safety recalls include any problem encountered with an fca us product related to the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety of the occupants. Fca us llc will correct the problem, at no charge, even if the vehicle is out of warranty and you are not the original owner." as well as "recall faqs fca us regards the safety and security of our customers and their families as paramount. Please see our list of faqs below to learn more about recalls and the precautions we take to keep you safe. If you don't see your concern listed,chat with usand one of our representatives will help answer any questions you may have." the recall I refer to is the tech bulletin 18-102-16a with the exact same symptoms "-2-
Car stalling while driving called recall said that my car doesn't go but it's losted under my recall
Engine stall ever time I drive my car engine will stall it has happen to me 3 times in the highway.
As I was driving my car on the interstate, all of my lights came on and then it completely shut off. I tried to start it multiple times, and then when it finally started up again, the whole engine was shaking and made my mufflers rattle as well. Then it completely shut off again. I have a new battery, fresh oil change, and my car has been checked for issues and none were found. My engine has quivered every now and then since I bought it in june of 2016, it is a 2013. Something needs done, the company needs to issue a recall because there are multiple complaints of the same issue. I did contact the chrysler company and made them aware of my situation.
The heater coil has stop working on passengers side, from build up of sludge. It only blows hot air on driver side, not all the time. So I do not have a defrost to keep my windows clear so I do not good visibility. I have researched up on this issue and a lot of these cars have the same problem

My engine dies out while I am driving then after sitting for about 5 mins it starts back up. It's been checked by mechanics but none knows why this is happening. I am afraid I will have an accident, because when it happens it's hard to steer out of traffic. My car is a 2013 200 but I purchased it in 2015
On four separate occasions my 2013 chrysler 200 shut off on me while driving. It appeared as if the engine was not getting any gas. When I tried to start the vehicle it sounded like it wanted to start but no gas was getting to the engine. I. Had the vehicle towed to the shop put my vehicle on the computer and no issues was revealed. Each time that it shut off I had a full tank of gas to 3/4 of gas. I had to wait 45-60 minutes before the car would start again. On 3oct2019 I was driving home from work traveling 65 MPH when the vehicle shut down on me on the interstate.

My vehicle shut down on the highway at a high rate of speed (70mph). My steering was also not working at the time. Was able to finally pull over. Restarted the vehicle and it was fine. This is very dangerous.
2013 chrysler 200 3.6l v-6 80,000 miles. During the 2018 winter in noticed my car was not coming up to running temperature and no t getting good heat out of the vents on drivers and passenger vents. I changed the thermostat and noticed a lot of grit and what looks like dirt in the antifreeze, but now the car comes up to running temperature and now I get good heat out of driver side vent but not out of the passenger side vent. I have been doing some reading on chrysler 200 forums and I see a lot of complaints of the same problems I am having and saying the cause in is that the heater core is plugged and is about $900.00 to $1200.00 to fix. Is chrysler going to cover the cost of the repairs? The cause of the heater core being plugged is when to blocks were being pored and machined leaving sand and other debris in the blocks because they were not cleaned properly.
