RE S61/NHTSA 16V-668 I HAD THIS CONDITION AND PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER (FCA) HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR ALMOST A YEAR THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR AS SOON AS THEY DETERMINE THE NEEDED PART. THEY STATE THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE AN IDENTIFIED REPAIR SO I HAVE TO KEEP WAITING FOR MY REFUND. THAT IS NOT TIMELY RESOLUTION.

WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS OR WARNING MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 EXPERIENCED TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION I LOST ALL GEARS. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A CITY BUS. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR WAS TOWED TO STATES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 200 V6.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. RANDY WISE DEALERSHIP IN DURAND MICHIGAN CHECKED AND CHARGED US. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS KNOCKED OUT CRUISE AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CAME ON WHILE IN MOTION AND IS NOW ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE OTHER SAFETIES ARE OUT TOO.

THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1800 TO REPLACE THE TIPM, BUT I SEE OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING... EXCEPT MINE HASN'T. THIS ISN'T JUST A MINOR INCONVENIENCE... IT'S VERY VERY UNSAFE: 'THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AND BURNING OUT 'THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING RANDOMLY 'THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING 'THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START 'THE HORN GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES 'POWER WINDOWS NOT WORKING 'DOORS LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THEMSELVES MY WIPERS, HORN AND LIGHTS GO ON AT RANDOM TIMES. AT TIMES IT'S WHILE I'M DRIVING.... SOMETIMES IT'S WHILE IT'S PARKED. THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE TURNED ON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IT'S DRAINED MY BATTERY A FEW TIMES AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN DRIVABLE. IT STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER, 2016, BUT HAS CONTINUED THROUGH THE PRESENT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40-50 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON AND WITH NO WARNING. THE ONLY WARNING WAS AFTER IT SHUT DOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER STEERING AND TURN THE IGNITION TO OFF. THAT I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DROVE FINE BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND ABOUT DEALERS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. SOME COMPLAINTS INVOLVING INJURIES AND CHILDREN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON THAT IS NOT WORTH WHAT I OWE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 AND IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SUDDENLY WITH OUT ANY WARNING. IT HAPPENED TO ME 8 TIMES IN A ROW NOW WITH IN WEEK. I JUST SEE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. IF I TRY TO RESTART THE CAR IT STARTS ONLY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR FEW MINS. I HAD IT CHECKED A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH A MECHANIC BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. DRIVING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AS IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND LOCKS THE STEERING AS WELL.

PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER 200 IN FEBRUARY 2017 AT 87,XXX MI. IT IS NOW JUNE 2017 AND 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 DAYS MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY DIED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND MADE A RIGHT TURN AND UPON ACCELERATING IT DIED, DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, QUICKLY TRIED TO RESTART AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL WITH JUST NOTHING HAPPENING WHEN TURNING KEY. TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND RETRIED AND STARTED RIGHT UP. NEXT DAY I WAS AGAIN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND BAM SAME THING SAME DETAILS. 3RD INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED THIS TIME I WAS DOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP, QUICKLY TOOK KEY OUT AND RESTARTED. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND DIAGNOSED AS CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION. REPLACED THE SENSOR AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN FOR SHORT DISTANCE AS THE FIRST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED WERE TERRIFYING ENOUGH. AFTER HOURS OF ONLINE RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THIS IS COMMON AND JUST BEING NEGLECTED. CHRYSLER FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED
