Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.

I have owned this car for 3 years. A year after owning it I began having issues with the engine shutting down while driving. It is random and happens with no warning, no check engine light or any indication that it's going to happen. It has happened in traffic where I was almost rear ended by a semi because when the engine dies I lose power steering and can't get it off the road. Sometimes it will restart right away other times it takes an hour or more. This has happened while on the highway and city streets. Most commonly it happen when I have to take my foot off the accelerator and then reapply, like slowing down for a car turning in front of me, taking a turn and taking an exit ramp. This has happened many times over the last couple years. I have had it at a dealership and they can't diagnose a problem or recommend a fix. I have also been in contact with the manufacturer and they told me there was nothing they could do and I would just have to drive the car and take it back in if the problem worsens. That is not an option because it is either going to get me stranded on the side of the road or in an accident.

In july 2019, my 2013 chrysler 200, that I purchased brand new in 2014 just stopped. Wouldn't go forward or backward. I was stuck in the middle of the road on a steep hill. I went from 45 MPH to nothing without any warning. No warning lights ever came on and the car wasn't acting any different than it had the million times I had taken it to the dealership for it being jerky when taking off. They repeatedly told me there were no issues found and the car was fine. I was and still am the soul owner of this car that didn't even have 85,000 miles on it. I spoke with chrysler several times about my warranty and the now bad transmission. They told me to take it to the closest chrysler dealership. Which I had it towed there since the car was no longer drivable. I was contacted a few days later by the service department telling me it was, in fact the transmission and would need a new transmission. This car was out of warranty by 30 days give or take and was still under warranty by miles. But since it's an either-or warranty, I was now out of a car that I had paid almost $30,000 for, unless I wanted to go in half with chrysler and pay them an additional $2113.44 to replace or fix the current transmission. The transmission is a closed transmission but didn't require any service until 96,000 miles per the owner's manual. Had I had, my then 9-month-old grandson with me when the car went from 45 MPH to nothing and a vehicle had been behind me, we both could have been seriously injured or even killed. The car never gave any warning that there was an issue before there was an issue. I find this completely unsatisfactory as a parent, nana, and quite frankly a human. Had I known of this website when this happened, I would have reported it then! Hope you are able to make this kind of situation not happen to someone else.

All of sudden I felt a jolt in the gear shift and then I lost power steering and I couldn't step on the gas to accelerate . So I pulled over the best I could, on the highway going 55 MPH. I shut the car off and when I turned it back on after giving it a couple minutes it was turning over but not turning on. The engine was completely stalled. No warning lights or check engine lights. It was completely random. I had to call family to come pick me and my daughter up. After a few hours we came back a new tried it. It worked but after driving it an hour it did the same thing again. I checked the recalls for my car and their isn't, however when I read up on forums and my car has the same issues as the other 2013 chrysler 200s. With engine stalling and greater possibility of an engine fire. I think the make and model of the vehicle needs to be investigated. I had my toddler in the car and it was frightening. I'm diligent about keeping up maintenance on my vehicles and if any inclination and or warning I would've been at the mechanic.

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.
