What 638 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Chrysler 200

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT - POWER IS SHUT-OFF WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THE VEHICLE BECOMES TDISABLE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THIS OCCURS THREE TIMES THIS YEAR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE OPERATING AGAIN IT TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. THE STEERING WHILE LOCKS UP AS WELL. I HAVE TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY TO WORK EVERYDAY. MOST OF THE INSTANCES WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STALLING OF THE CAR OCCURS WHEN YOU DRIVE ABOUT 2-3 MILES. THE CAR BEARS LEFT AND STARTS TO STALLED OUT. IT LOST POWER. EVERY TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IN RESPONSE TO MY 2012 200 CHRYSLER WHICH HAS COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT STARTED OUT WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPING ON ME AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I LOST POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY OFFICE BUILDING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THIS PART IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS PART ON MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE SOFTWARE A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW THE HARDWARE IS BAD. I SEE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE INCLUDING A LAWSUIT. IF SAFETY IS OF CONCERN, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD ANYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO HELP THE CONSUMER.

I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT IN MAY OF 2016. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AS THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SPEED I WAS GOING. I ALSO WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL UNTIL LATER THAT YEAR. I HAVE CALLED AND CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE IN TO HAVE THE RECALL ISSUE SOLVED AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ETA AND THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, ON CITY STREETS, OR AT IDLE. WE HAD THE PCM UPDATED IN DECEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW MARCH 2017 AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR AT IDLE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES BARELY WORK AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER WINDOW REMAIN FOGGY OR ICE COVERED, OR AFTER REMOVING THE FOG OR ICE IT REBUILDS FOG OR ICE WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WHILE SNOWING, EXTREMELY LIMITING VISIBILITY. THIS WINTER HAS BEEN QUITE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY DUE TO THIS CONDITION.
