Headlight are terrible. Can not travel at night. Dealer has aligned them 6 times and says he can not fix problem. High beam shines up to the tree tops. Can not see to turn left. After I bought salesman said his wife had the same problem with her'sister, traded it in. I said why in the hell did u not tell me before I bought. This vehicle is a safety hazard and should not be on the road at night. Am retired and can not afford to trade. Hell,

Something electrical is draining my battery. When I drive, the check engine light comes on, the ABS, traction, and brake light comes on while driving. When I'm idle nothing happens. When I'm on the highway it jerks and stalls a bit. I have to accelerate a lot to keep it going. I've had the battery replace 2 times in the past 3 months - brand new. It keep draining my battery. The alternator was fine. I took it to the dealership they told me they can't read it if the lights are not on. But it only comes on when I'm driving. The lights in the car, headlights, and radio all go out while I'm driving then back on. The headlights flicker. I'm about to need to have the battery replaced now a third time with no help from the dealership. My engine light is still on and and it drives rough and I smell gas when I'm driving. I just bought this car in august and I've had more issues with it than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I've only received 1 recall for the vehicle, I believe it should be thoroughly checked because it's too many issues for a car that's only 4 years old.

Ok.. So let me vent here. I first bought my car this year. (march) and they let me take my car for a night to see if I would like the car. They had a 2013 chrysler 200 lx 2.4cyl. Or a 2014 chrysler 200 limited 3.6 v6 the 2013 had 37k the 2014 had 21k. I wanted the 2014 but when they asked about it. It was already sold... I didn't know that. So I went for the '13 lx. Drove it off the lot for a test drive. Drove just fine. Got back to the dealer. Signed a paper and left with it from the dealer for the night. Well on my way home. I thought would go out of my way a little bit for a little extra drive. (keep in mind I had a full tank from the dealer) lol! Something I requested. Because when I test drove it. It was on e. And gas light was on. But back to the point. While going out of my way. I stopped to get pizza. And left my car running. All lights were on. I'm sitting inside waiting for my pizza. Since I called it in before hand. Got my pizza. Come out to my car. And I stopped in my tracks. And thought. Hmm. I could have swore I left my car running. Like wtf. And my headlights and everything was still on! And then I thought. Oh [xxx]... I got into my car. Everything is on. Ac (which of course wasn't cold air since engine wasn't running) and all my lights were on. And I knew as soon as I got into my car and the RPM's are on 0 and everything is still on. I sat there for a minute. In shock and disappointment. Turned my key back. And turned it back and it fired right up. So I was upset but didn't think much of it. Called my dealer and they told me they would take care of it. Took it in and they gave me a loaner while they "fixed" it. Got it back and didn't happen after that. Now it just started again today. Bout a month worth's of time... I'm sick of this. My car only has 45k now. And I got it with 37k... Taking my car in once again. This is going to kill somebody... Stay safe. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving my vehicle in the dark when headlights are on low beam there is no gradual falling off of the light. They light up the road for a few yards ahead and the light immediately ends. It is like there is a wall that stops the light abruptly, I feel very unsafe driving this car after dark and my husband does also. Adjusting lights does not help it is the design. On oct 14, 2015 a deer ran into the side of my car because I was driving with low beams on I never saw her in the road.
