The seals on the bottom of the oil filter adapter housing failed, causing oil and coolant to leak out of the engine. The safety of myself and others is put at risk because if enough oil or coolant leaks out, engine overheating or failure will occur, possibly while the vehicle is in motion. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. It is a widely known issue with the 3.6L Pentastar engine and is well documented in 100s of videos on youtube by third party mechanics, dealer mechanics, and DIYers. My vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, as it is out of the warranty period. Warnings include low coolant and low engine oil. The skid plate under the front of the car was also soaked, causing puddles of oil and coolant to form underneath the car onto the ground.

Yesterday, when I was dropping Christmas, presents off to my son at his moms' house. My 2011 Chrysler 200, Convertible limited with 3.6L v6 Pentastar flex-fuel motor. temp gauge went all the way up into Red. Which had to cross lanes on highway so I could get off on the freeway ramp. which I made it a block and the car stalled in below-freezing temps with no heat figuring out what to do as I get out of the vehicle I noticed brown motor oil bubbling and gushing out a Coolant reservoir With oil streaks all the way down passenger side car including through rims. I researched flaws and issues that Chrysler acknowledges, like that class-action lawsuit for vehichlwes not covered under extended vehicles that have the same issue, and problems Also how come even tho my vehicle 2011 Chrysler is not covered when covered is 2012 - 2017 even thos my car motor is identical as 2012 - 2013 Which was the first generation with faulty Oil cooler. or when they used sand casting molds to make cylinder heads which some of the sand stayed and circulated through the system, Causing oil cooler lines and coolant passageways. Pretty much was left stranded in freezing below temps with a car where motor oil spueling out of coolant overflow tank, over the windshield where I could barely see when trying to pull over. also oil all down passenger side of vehicle wet from front to back . not to mention other faults with the multi systems.

I purchased my vehicle brand new in 2017 and started experiencing issues within the first year. The car has cut off multiple times while driving, without warning, in the middle of rush hour traffic. It also frequently stalls. I've taken my vehicle to 3 different dealerships in 2 different states at least 10 times. Two of the three dealerships claimed that the problem was some sort of fuse underneath the driver's seat. After the car continued to shut off without warning, I was told that it was due to low oil. I've called chrysler's headquarters who has given me a free oil change package and instructed me to return to a dealership every 500 - 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. They know that the car is burning an unusual amount of oil which is a clear indication that there's a problem. Instead of issuing a recall, they continue to put lives in danger by giving them back their death trap of a car and instructing them to check and get frequent oil changes. I'm guessing their hope is to keep the oil changes going until the warranty runs out. Someone's going to lose their life or get seriously injured in these cars, I just pray that it's not me.

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.
