2013 Chrysler 200 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 62, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
My chrysler 200 has been turning off out of no where. No check engine light or anything turns on. My cars horn goes off randomly in the middle of driving and when put into park. I had 3 recalls and recently went to get them fixed thinking it would help , since one of the recalls was reprogramming the main module of the car. Still to this day it turns off on me. Just the other day I was in town making a turn and it stopped before I was able to complete the turn. It's also turned off on me many times when I'm driving in one direction. After it turns off I am able to re start it, and other times I have to wait several minutes before I'm able to get it turned back on.
Throttle body goes bad every 3 months and goes into limp mode.
At random my cars dies/stalls. I could be at a stop sign and the engine lose power shakes then dies. I could be driving in town cruising down main street at 25mph and my car engine will lose power shake then die while I'm still driving in motion. I could be driving on the free way with speeds at 70 MPH and my car will just die, foot goes all the way in peddle when dead. You could feel no power in the car and it will roll out. Once the car is dead the power steering is out. It's very unsafe. I've been broken down for hours on the side of the road or minutes. I've been broken down in all 3 situations multiple times as stated above. The car shows no warning when it is going to die, no engine lights either, happens at random. Very unreliable and it tragic that I have to keep paying for a vehicle that does not perform like it should, I'm paying for a broken car. Dealership wants no part of it. I've got a recall letter, took it in and nothing was fix. They say it was the PCM but little did they know it was a brand new on. Already was updated. I feel nothing was dont to take care of the problem since the dealership had about 10 other people with recall letter. I'd really appreciate the help if any can be assisted
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at 35-40 MPH and coming to a stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle stalled.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was a pressure failure in the transmission. The vehicle was taken to a second independent mechanic who was unable to provide a fault code for the cause for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted.

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-

Jerking transmission while shifting gear
I was driving and all of a sudden the car started making a loud whining noise and seemed to be downshifting and lurching by itself. It was not shifting properly and it seemed to be doing stuff by itself. I did not have control over what it was doing. I had to pull off the highway and called triple a and the car had to be towed. It was repaired and now 2 weeks later it again downshifted by itself out of the blue and started whining again. It has not been driven since.

Torque converter stopped working properly causing the car to stall while at slow speeds and breaking. This could be in urban and rural settings. Any example of slowing down, stopping, yielding, etc. Upon diagnostics it was found the torque converter needed to be replaced, as well as a pump (which one was not specified by the service e team) starting in early to mid october 2018
Happens at random while driving the car will go out of gear as if in neutral (automatic trans vehicle ) then go back in gear jerking the whole car sometimes even making the wheels spin . This has all happened while the car is moving both street and highway , turning and decelerating.
My transmission has had nothing but problems shifting,racing rpms,banging and clunky plus the gears are searching. The software has been updated along with its recalls. Because there is no code when present or engine light. Chrysler will not call it not working. But they state its working fine because no codes or engine light. The dealer gave me a harx time with it as a trade in. The brakes have been an issue and they hear the noise byt state they are fine when in fact they dont always stop when pressing down. My front end and steering has been taken apart and replaced so many times . The front end scapes clunks still. I explained to both chrysler corp and arrigo dodge chrysler in west palm beach. Im still having problems. The car feels like I lose control of the car. I have a bad car service records state all the repairs. And the dealer is no help when the car was bumber to bumber coverage . All they did was year down take apart which they have done shotty work. And ripped off me . I have no recourse than to be stuck with this so called dream car of mine. $30,000 investment down the tubes.

I purchased a chrysler 200, 2013 from manhattan chrysler. This car is a lemon it has a bad transmission and the anti-lock brakes lock at random. I took the car to manhattan chrysler for repair when it only had 21,000mi. They recognized the transmission problem after the second visit. Chrysler said that the brake are no longer under warranty. After they rebuild the transmission the vehicle still didn't perform the transmission continued to slip in second gear. I returned the vehicle to chrysler, now the fourth time in repair. At this point, I was directed to the reconsideration dept. They offered as compensation a one time car payment of $493.13'I was absolutely insulted because I paid $39.505.00 with finance charges. I sought legal help but they weren't much help. I was told by lemon law atty. That litigation would take 2 yrs. And I may not even receive $4,000.00. Chrysler, totally disregarded my attorney and would not corresponded to any phone calls or letter on my behalf from the atty. I am a veteran and I am totally disabled with a severe back injury and I use a cane to walk because I fall often. My mom recently had a severe stroke she is now in rehab 45min. Away and I don't have transport ion to go check on her. I voluntarily surrender my vehicle to the finance co. Now my credit report reflex a $16,000.00. Default for the lemon I purchase at chrysler. Please help!
As I was doing 70 MPH on the hwy my car started slowing down to 30 MPH and would not pick up speed, the symbols that came on the car were for the electronic throttle control and the electronic stability control. I pulled over and turned the car off and after a minute or so, I restarted the car and continued on, after being able to drive only a few feet, it started again. Once I made it home, I let the car sit overnight and when I drove into work this morning after 14 minutes on the hwy, it started again.
I've been having issues with the transmission shifting. While on the highway going up a slight incline the transmission shifts from 6th gear to 5th and back to 6th rapidly. It doesn't matter if cruise control or manual. The second issue is the starting the car and putting it into drive. It goes into gear hard the out of gear and back into gear. When I start to drive the transmission will not shift. It is stuck in gear. I can put it into manual shift and it will not make a difference. I have to pull over. Shut off the vehicle and start it back. Then the transmission will shift correctly. This happens maybe once a month. Recently it has happened twice in two weeks. The third issue is downshifting of the automatic transmission. I have let off the gas and it down shift hard enough to pull your back from the seat. It is worse coasting down a step hill when it downshift hard. I have been to the chrysler dealer four times so far for the same issues first 08/26/2015 second 10/28/2015 third 05/25/2016 fourth 09/17/2016 I have also been in contact with chrysler. Both the dealer and chrysler says they have never heard of this issue. The dealer will take a 6 mile road test and say there is nothing wrong. The last appointment the dealer was supposed to drive over 50 miles to try to duplicate my issues. They never took the car on the road and said nothing was wrong and it drove fine. Chrysler or the dealership have not made an attempt to repair the vehicle. I have two videos of that the car does on the road and the transmission acts up.
2013 chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair recall notice 16v‑240.
I have a 2013 chrysler 200, it has roughly 70,000 miles, as I was accelerating onto the highway the vehicle would not go over 40-50 MPH. I was almost rear-ended because everyone was trying to get onto the highway. I couldn't pull over because of it being over a bridge. When I went to pull over the car stalled and would not start until the 3rd or 4th try. The car is practically brand new there is no way this should be having this problem. As I am reading many of the other complaints this seems to be pretty common in this vehicle & year.
