I have a 2016 chrysler 200 and of you are a quart low the vehicle has a sensor which tells the vehicle to shut off it don't matter we're you are at and you can only go 1800 to 2000 miles till it burns that quart off so when the vehicle dies the power steering is turned off and the steering wheel locks so there is no way to get off the road you have to stop the car and put in park to start again I called the manufacturer and they told me that means so safty is working properly so they can't do anything but to me that seems like a safty hazard to anyone in the car to get rear ended or in a intersection

Starting in october 2018 this car has cut off on me for no reason at any given time. I will be driving and it will cut off and tell me to shift into park. Sometimes it cranks back up other times it doesn't. I have taken it to landmark chrysler five different times. Each time I am told that it's a different problem. And each time the car does the exact same thing again. This has endangered my life and the life of my two year old son. After completing two different oil consumption test landmark(morrow,ga) still hasn't been able to diagnose the problem so the warranty company won't fix the car. They know that it's using too much oil but they claim they don't know why. This car is a safety hazard and nothing is being done about it. They just try to get you to trade it in for another car with a higher payment. This problem really needs to be investigated before it causes someone their life. I have been driving on major highways when this car has cut off with no warning and narrowly missed being hit by a semi truck. I have filed a complaint with chrysler corporate but that has gotten me no where because the person I speak with (will in customer care) does nothing and claims that he doesn't have a supervisor that I can contact.

Oil consumption and electric wiring problems causing the air conditioner to go out and blow hot air. The oil consumption will need entire engine replaced. Oil consumption almost caused wreck because car will throw car in park at unexplained times because oil is low even when oil was changed. Very very dangerous. Oil light does not come on either even oil is dangerously low. Driver is unaware.

Car had been parked for about 5 hours. When I went to restart car made a noise like it was struggling to start. Turned car off and check oil appears to be full. Went to restart car and it would not restart. Multiple attempts were made to start car and while all lights and beeping came on car would not start again over a 15 min period. Can not push break down and when push the start button nothing happens. Car has also stalled out multiple times while driving in the last year. Chrysler dealership states its due to oil and it appears car is burning oil very fast. Chrysler states that the car will not start due to a safety mechanism to not allow the engine to overheat due to low oil. As oil has appeared full and checked multiple time unsure as to why the car would do this.

I have noticed that my 2016 chrysler 200 is burning oil at an alarming rate. I didn't even know it was low because there is no sensor that shows up on the dash letting me know the oil was low. The "oil change life" is still at 20% life but my car has burned thru over 4 quarts of oil in 4,000 miles!! I find this extremely concerning not to mention the possible engine damage that can be done with a car burning this much oil. There should be an alert to drivers letting them know the oil levels are low. I have never had a car that burned oil like this!

We own a 2016 chrysler 200 with a 4 cylinder engine that is burning one quart of oil every 750 miles. We are told by the dealer that chrysler engineers say it is acceptable for that engine to use a quart of oil in 750 to 1000 miles. The engine has done this since it was new. They replaced fouled spark plugs and even complete cylinders on the car. The last time my wife waited until the recommended oil change it had used 5 quarts. The dealer is still giving us the run around as is mr stander at chrysler USA and sergio marchioni who called the designers of the engine 'dummies'. Recall these cars now
