What owners say
For weeks now ive been noticing a weird grinding or dry rubbing sound underneath the front end of my chrysler. Checked it out a few times, as though i am not a mechanic i can identify the basics of something not right. However, after my husband and his brother both looking it over on seperate occasions, they have noted a leak under the carriage of the car. Often here recently, the guage senses an over heating of some sort. Since this notice, we have replaced the oil cooler twice in a year; as well as flushed the hoses associated with the coolant reservoir. Fixed temporary but has now already started getting too hot. Which simply tells me that its something further internal thats wrong. I was informed of an engine recall: L33 of my chrysler model. However havent seen one on this website. When driving yesterday, i noticed a light on my cluster that indicated the traction has failed. When i brake, all u hear or feel is a vibration under your feet, up front. I replaced my brake pads all 4, within the past 4 months and theyre now rusted over and u notice a brake fluid leak on the front right side. After a light, the grinding noise, the vibration and the overheating; i am positive that this will eventually cause a car stall or worse a fatal accident. My brakes could eventually fail while driving in traffic, causing a crash. Or my car could just all out stalland the cluster can trip and i could be in harms way if at the time it does this i could be goin 70 on the interstate or in a turninglane in town and without proper fix; it could easily cause a fatal accident and i could be killed or worse my children!
The blend door actuator making noises. Knocking sound. Also the sound is making a squeaky door sound. This sound is above the glove compartment. Passengers are very startled when it makes a noise when car is running or not.

Brakes squeak while driving and turning
Dash airbag light stays on and the front axle is grinding and when turning the steering wheel right or left is a knocking sound from the tire.
The antilock brake system keeps coming on and the brakes squeal. I was coming up to a stop sign or red light. Brakes have been changed out. It just keeps happening.
I own a 2012 chrysler 200, I love my car; however, the head lights are pointing towards the ground making it almost impossible to see anything in front of me while driving. I've changed replaced the headlight bulbs as well as cleaned the headlamp. Unknown 2. During the winter months my car makes the grinding noise when starting up.
To start off the ABS and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything . Almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the e brake and start grinding . No matter how many times I change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking . Lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and I had to replace it . My speedometer just died on me today and I have no clue how that happened .
A multitude of different issues with the transmission; transmission will experience delayed shifts (or delays when shifting into reverse, drive or any other gear then vehicle will clunk into gear), harsh shifting, random down shifting while driving and slamming into gear, squeaking noise when shifting from reverse to drive. Took the vehicle into the dealership for servicing where they looked over, they noticed the issues and ran software updates on my shifter and for the transmission. The problem still persisted so the tech contacted fca and they informed the dealership that "it's supposed to do that." this is not the norm of any transmission.
