Won't start by model year
What owners say
I started having the oil pressure warning light come on same day after an oil change. It was a 3-hour drive, and the light will come on while my foot is on the break. Oil level was in the safe marker. Then I started feeling rumbling like I was driving a stick shift car. One major incident I was waiting for my turn at a light and when it turned green, the car was stalling but went. All of sudden it stopped and cut off and wouldn't crank back up. When it did the light was red and cars were going around me. It was running hot but started back up for me to drive home. But it I stopped it shuts off. The inside lights do a weird thing like comes on randomly while driving and it's scary at night. Also, if using the left turn signal the lights comes on. But when the car is off the radio and other controls go bright then dim. When put on a code reader many codes come up P0506, P0137, P0171, P0131, P0302
Multiple times the engine power steering and brake assistance will go out without warning. This has happened at intersections and has also happened on an extremely busy highway where I was nearly hit multiple times. When this happens the car will not start up immediately. After waiting approximately 30 minutes the car will finally restart again. I have taken it to the dealership and they cannot replicate the issue nor can they provide a solution.
Car shuts off randomly while driving and will not start back right away
My 2013 Chrysler 200 has stalled or shut off completely while driving. The steering wheel and brakes lock up and the car just stops running. There are never any warnings or lights ahead of time to indicate there is any problem. The car simply just shuts off while driving and will not start back up right away. After sitting for about an hour untouched, the car will start right up and run fine until it happens again. No mechanic can diagnose it because there are no lights or codes to run to say what the issue is. My third time this happened, I was in a busy intersection attempting to make a turn and was almost t-boned when my car couldn't move out of the intersection. After the car shuts down and I attempt to restart right away, all the lights on the dash light up, but none stay on once the car stops cranking or even when the car does actually start up again. This is very dangerous for myself and any one else I may have in my car with me. I am a mother and I do not feel safe ever having my kids in my car with me. I've read online that this has happened to so many others but no recall will ever be done to fix this issue.
Driving on the highway with the car on cruise at about 60mph the rpms suddenly dropped to zero and the car decelerated to a stop. When I restarted I went about a quarter of a mile before it turn off again. Then on attempting to turn over again it would not start. After cooling down (in the turn lane of a busy highway) for about six minutes it finally started again and I was able to pull to a parking lot.
Car loss all power while driving down a city street in motion could not steer or do nothing would not crank up after about 10 minutes it started right up.this has happened 5 times while driving very dangerous. This has been going on for about a year. The last time it did this is february 18, 2021.
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 doing 70mph on the fwy and the car just lost power. I took it to a shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I had it replaced. 1 week later I tried to start the car and it would not start. I called aaa and when they came the car started. The same day I was on the fwy and the engine shut down again. I was terrified as a big rig was right behind me. I called the mechanic and had the car towed to his shop. He tested it and said the fuel pump must be bad. We replaced it again. The car seemed to run fine. Please note I only drive 5 to 10 miles a day. I was on the fwy again this week and the engine quit again. I went online to see if I was the only one having this kind of problem and found dozens of people having the same problem. I was very disharden to learn there was no recall for this. I was almost involved in 2 serious wrecks on the fwy. I called my local chrysler dealer to be told there was nothing they can do. Please advise
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.
Over the last two months I've been dealing with something called a no crank no start as the people say . Basically you're car could start one minute and then you could cut the car off and it won't do anything it won't start or crank .
