Cars tipn needs replaced after 35,000 miles. Car initially set all dash lights off, one front and one rear LED light remained on even after key was taken out and never went out leading to dead battery. The car died on me while driving it about 20mph as I was attempting to pull out onto roadway causing near accident. Been without a car for last 3 weeks while trying to get diagnosis and repair. Total cost from going to several repair shops to get diagnosis and part to replace it is estimated to cost $1500-2000 which I cant afford. I am making payments on a car that I cant even drive. I am a college student and this was my first purchase of a car with my own money. This part needs to be recalled. I have read multiple complaints with the same issue . One chrysler repair shop made comment that he was surprised they havent had a recall on that part due to all the ones he has seen needing replaced. This needs to be fixed and chrysler needs to be accountable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. While driving 20-60 MPH, the vehicle sputtered and stalled without warning on several occasions. The vehicle was towed to (daytona dodge chrysler jeep ram & fiat 1450 n tomoka farms rd suite a, daytona beach, fl 32124: (386) 274-0571) where it was diagnosed that the transmission module and software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Error throttle control shuts off in the middle of traffic
When decelerating at either a red light or to turn, car will completely shut off with no warnings or check engine lights. This started almost a month ago. Then today everything locked up. All electrical lights came on along with the check engine light. There was no power when trying to get the vehicle back home. It should have been towed.
The car has to much torque that the vehicle slides and loses control and almost caused an accident. The steering is to lose when I turn it moves to quick and the movement of the vehicle can't catch up.
Vehicle went in for an airbag light twice right before the extended warranty expired at 75k miles. The dealership claims to have replaced a wiring harness under the passenger seat both times. Just slightly over 75k miles, the light came on again. This time they advised the whole wiring system needs replaced and that it won't be covered. Got in touch with chrysler directly who stated they are willing to only pay for the $1200+ part but that I would be responsible for approximately $400 in labor. Vehicle was in motion each time the light came on. Typically when encountering a slight bump on the interstate. Safford jeep chrysler ram in winchester va is the dealership the vehicle was purchased new and continued service at the same location. The vehicle has been in for 2 weeks now and currently there at this time. According to a brief internet search, this seems to be a common complaint yet no recalls have been issued. If this can be settled in any manner, I respectfully request that chrysler provide a refund for what I'm about to pay to get my vehicle back up and running.
The sensor that is under the passenger seat, signalling that an individual is sitting in the seat, has needed to be replaced by the dealership twice now as a connection becomes loose and will dis-attach. This will alert my car to service airbags
I am asking you to issue a safety recall on my vehicle. You investigated the 2015 model for the same issue and it was recalled as a result. The 2016 is just as dangerous. Is there a reason why the lives of people who drive 2015 models are more valuable than mine or my children? It turns off while driving with no warning and leaves me in the middle of intersections! The steering cuts off too. I have to first struggle to control the steering, shift into park, push start, and wait, while I brace myself for the impact that is about to shatter my spine or kill my children! It began as soon as I hit 60k miles a few weeks ago and happens every time I drive it. It happens mostly when I am turning, sometimes when braking for a light, and sometimes it doesn't actually turn off, it just seems like it is suddenly in neutral and makes revving sounds when I hit gas but wont go, that's when message says 'service transmission'. I was making a u turn and almost hit a pole! It may start up with first try, or a few tries. It hasn't happened in high speeds on highway but that may be because I am too afraid to go that route anymore. Obviously this is a manufacturing defect. I paid cash for this vehicle and should not have to pay a penny to fix this, but if I or mine are injured I will spend every cent I have on a lawsuit. Thank you for your understanding in this extremely important matter.
As I was driving I started to smell something burning one of my children began to cough as I looked back at him and then out the windshield again I seen smoke coming from the hood area so I immediately pulled off the rode and got both of my children out of the car as we moved away from the car the smoke began to get thicker and the next thing that happened was my car was up in flames. No lights on the dashboard came on the temperature of the car was normal no alarms going off on car before or while car was smoking. I was on a city street
My 200 vehicle showed an air bag light 6 months after purchase, about may, 2016. Then the vehicle was not recalled so I ignored it. The oil change at the dealer after may, 2016 date failed to address the light. It remains on to this date. Repair on tire that showed a light was refused on june 7, 2017. This tire light remains a problem. Now, the vehicle will not go uphill without stalling and will not run when it rains. The fuel seems to be blocked because I keep pumping the gas to go uphill after it stalls. The car cuts off when I make left or right turns. Now, I warm the vehicle for 10 minutes to show the engine is ready. The engine light has come on for the past 6 months. I failed emission testing in sept. 2019. The tune up done this month did not help. The engine light and other matters caused the emission testing to fail. My complaint is directed to the gas problem, air bags, electrical dashboard problem for the past year along with the tire light.
Car has shut off while driving last few mornings. It happened in the exact same spot each morning. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 MPH, the car just stalls, says "place in p to start" and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. This has happened with several cars behind me and have almost been rear ended because of it. Taking into dealership tomorrow to see what they're going to do. After reading other stories very similar to mine, I'm not very hopeful.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. While driving approximately 20-25 MPH and slowing down around a corner, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to deacon's chrysler dodge jeep ram (835 som center rd, mayfield, oh 44143, (440) 442-0424) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
My car shuts off while running and tells me to switch to park. The steering wheel and breaks lock up. This happens mid drive or when I turn a corner and is very dangerous. I had this same problem on my 2015 chrysler 200 and now I am having the same issue with my 2016 chrysler. This needs to be fixed this is a manufacturer issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. While driving various speeds, the electronic parking brake system activated intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to joey accardi chrysler dodge jeep ram (located at 909 s federal hwy, pompano beach, fl 33062, phone number: 888‑498‑6232), but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
Had to replace battery a month ago. Went to leave and car would not start. Had to get a jump from ky daughter to take to have battery tested. Bad battery! And now fuel pump has a short in it. Driving car and stalled and said put into park. Stuck in the middle of the road until tow truck came.
Doesn't start. Every light came on. Everything needed to be serviced air bags key fob not detected air bags needed service parking brake needs service. Check engine light on. Battery light on. Can only start with a charge once charge removed car doesn't start. The car was stationary. I recently found out that the car was on the recall list, but I never received notification from the car company.
Car suddenly died in traffic and wouldn't start back. Car has 66k miles. After getting a jump we got car home and hooked battery to a charger. Next time I went to drive it it died again and I was able to get it started back but the instrument panel blinks on and off and all of the warning lights start going on and off. Currently unable to drive it because it will just die while driving and with instrument panel blinking it doesn't show accurate speed. Please recall this car before it kills someone!
Car keep stalling out
At times will not start . Engine dies while going down the highway. Transmission loses power then after resting it will go again then out of nowhere it stalls again.
Within 1 mile, my car shut off twice while coming to a stop. The screen on the dash said to 'shift to p to start'. I did so, and then it sounded as if my car didn't want to start back up and took me three tries the first time and two the second time to get it started. Now looking into it these cars have a history of this same problem since the beginning of them being made, but nothing is being done about it.
Car shuts off without warning on the highway
My car have been given me problems for about 6months. Engine light is on. Car keep cutting off in the middle of traffic. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer, I know six times before my factory warranty ran out, and they could never fix it. Took it today and they told me my warranty is out, and now I have to start doing random work to it to find out what's wrong. The employee of chrysler checked the car to see if it was as giving a code for what is wrong. She said it was not showing a code. The waited until warranty ran out, to make me pay for it. Congratulations hey could never find out what was wrong with it. I don't know what to do. I still owe 19000.00 on it. Please help.

Takata recall. After I reached 64,000 miles may vehicle turned off while driving to work. It took at least 5 times for the motor to turn over. As soon as power was restored battery light came on. Now the battery light is off but the check engine light is on. Since then I have taken the car to my local mechanic and was told it was the battery. I've had my battery tested and that's not the problem. There now s a major electrical issue that is wrong. I have tried to drive my car since and it continues to turn off. This is only not a hazard to myself but to others that are driving because it abruptly stops in the middle of traffic. Chrysler I need you to investigate this issue.
Car A/C stuck in defrost mode when turned on and car will not start unless it is jumped
A couple weeks ago, I was at stop light my car stalled, I put in park it restarted. I couldn't put on my hazards or anything to warn the car behind . It happened again on this saturday on the highway in the fast lane the dashboard was blank, the radio stopped playing, so merged in the slow lane without using the brake then everything came back on the speed gauge was trying to get my current speed. It doesn't happen all the time but it's scary feeling because everything on dashboard is computerized.
My car suddenly turned off as I was making a turn. I have fixed the car 2 times from the same thing and this will be the 3rd. I want to see if there's something associated with a recall about the computer module. It stalls to turn on, and when it does it won't go as far as a mile
I've been into the service department over 6 times for the same issues. This car is so unsafe to drive. I believe this is a transmission issue. My car creates a very hard jerking when switching gears or speeding up. It also shakes when the air conditioning is on and I am only getting about 15 mi to the gallon when it should be 27. I've left multiple complaints since I have had this vehicle, worked with the device department, worked with chrysler and the situation and safety concern is still not rectified. Please look into this. It's my only transportation and I would like to keep myself, my 3 babies, and other drivers safe. Thank you!
Takata recall, my vehical was completely still, outside of my family home getting into the car with my 1yo. I have had problems with my key fob before so I didnt think anything of it. Tried to go and start my car and my speedometer read 'key fob not detected' but my car crank any way and let me drive 20 minutes out to visit a family member. Once we got back in the car to go home, my car would not crank, due to a computer failure to ready my key fob, had to get it towed to the dealership where I found this out and is costing me around $500 to pay for.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the battery indicator illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and waited approximately five minutes. Once the vehicle was restarted, a chime sounded and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The contact stated that the failure occurred daily for approximately three weeks. The vehicle was taken to burns motors (1300 us-83 bus, mcallen, tx 78501) to be diagnosed, but they were unable to replicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I purchased my vehicle in 6/19/17 and immediately after a few rides I fault with the dealer about my airbag light coming on. I went to the dealership and they told me it was my airbag wiring harness and it would need to be replaced under both seats but it was not covered under warranty. There is no way I was paying for this when the car was practically new only approximately 42502 miles and I was having ongoing issues with my airbag light coming on. Well now I am really feeling like this recall is larger than it is presented. Also, the vehicle has electrical problems when I get things done to my vehicle. Such as my transmission needing service, the malfunction indicator light, the ABS, the traction, and electronic park brake failure. All these lights came on just from replacing a hub (bearings) on my passenger side. My main complaint is on the air bag issue. I just want to voice my frustration when multiple people tell me they do not know why my vehicle is giving me these notifications.
