THE CAR ACCELERATES AND IF I HIT A BUMP OR ANYTHING IN THE ROAD MY CAR WILL START TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH AND HAS ACTUALLY SPUN ME AROUND IN A 360 MOTION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN VERY BAD ACCIDENTS 3 TIMES BECAUSE I LOST COMTROL BECAUSE OF THE SWAYING. ONCE WAS A NEAR HEAD ON WITH AND 18 WHEELER. CHRYSLER NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN THE 2011 CHRYSLER 200 JUST SHUT OFF. DASH WENT DARK, RADIO OFF, CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF! LUCKILY SHE WAS BY AN OFF RAMP AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS STILL WORKING WAS THE BRAKES, THANK GOODNESS! THE CAR DID NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CAME BACK ON EITHER WITH TURNING THE KEY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER THE CAR DID RESTART. WE TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES FROM THE CAR OR RECREATE THE EVENT, THUS BEING UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR AND ANSWER WHY IT HAPPENED!

MY CHRYSLER 200 WILL STALL INTERMITENLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR RUNNING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY.

I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF REAR TIRES DUE TO THE TIRE WEARING DOWN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RADIAL CORDS.I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER USED. 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE DATE I WAS DRIVING ON A GROOVED ROAD AND THE CAR STARTED SWAYING AND SWERVING TO THE POINT OF LOOSING CONTROL AND GOING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG. THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING 40-45 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP AND JERK IN TURN I OVERCORRECTED AND SPUN AROUND IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SOMEBODY WILL BE KILLED IF CHRYSLER DOESNT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM A WOMAN AND HAVE NO CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
