What 638 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Chrysler 200

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD BATTERY REPLACED SINCE THE BATTERY WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONLY 29582 MILES ON IT. SEEMED TO FIX THEN WHILE DRIVING 3 MILES LATER BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALER THE MEXT MORNING. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARDONE BY ONE UNTIL IT CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET DURING DAY. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIFTING INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I CAN ONLY ASSUME OT MAY BE THE ALTERNATOR SINCE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW NOW. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS PART OF CAMPAIGN #17V-435 BUT MY CAR IS A CHRYSLER 200 3.6 ENGINE 6 CYLINDER TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND THAT RECALL DOES NOT SHOW 200'S ON THE NOTICE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICIES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.. I BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND FAITHFULLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY GOING FULL SPEED LIMIT SURROUNDED BY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS TERRIFIED. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON & CAN'T GET CAR STARTED. THEN CAR STARTS & ENGINE LIGHT GOES AWAY. NOT TO MENTION TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING & NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN 2015. CHRYSLER CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL 4/19/18 BC ITS BUSY SEASON. THIS MAY BE WHY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVERYTIME I TURN LEFT.

MY STEPDAUGHTER'S CAR (2012 CHRYSLER 200), APPARENTLY HAS A BAD TIPM. TOOK IT TO CHECKER WHO DIAGNOSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WHICH HAD COME ON AND TOLD US IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TIPM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER (EARNHARDT, CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE, RAM IN GILBERT, AZ) FOR AN N38 RECALL ISSUE (ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT/AIR BAG) THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD RESET THE TIPM MODULE AND WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT BEFORE WE TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL ISSUE, THE CAR HAD SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE AND MYSTERIOUSLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. WELL, LO AND BEHOLD AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM AND DID THE AIR BAG RECALL WE PICKED UP THE CAR AND MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD REAPPEARED AND THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVING LIKE [XXX]! I CAME HOME AND STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS WEBPAGE THAT TOLD ME TO FILE COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS APPARENTLY A SOFTWARE PATCH THAT CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER @ 800-992-1997 THINKING I MIGHT GET SOMEONE WHO COULD GIVE ME MORE INFORMATION BUT OF COURSE THIS HAPLESS CHARACTER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN REFERENCE TO A "SOFTWARE PATCH" HE DID CALL THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE JUST AT FOR THE RECALL, BUT OF COURSE, GOT NOTHING BUT AN ANSWERING MACHINE. HE TOLD ME HE LEFT A MESSAGE AND THEY WOULD CALL BACK MONDAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR CONCERNS. I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH WAITING FOR THE CALL. WHAT BOTHERS ME MOST, AND IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING IS THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND OTHER SOURCES AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE CAR ACCUMULATES DEBRIS BELOW THE WINDSHIELD UNDER THE PLASTIC TRAY WHICH CLOGS UP A DRAIN TUBE WHICH THEN MAKES THE WATER FLOOD BACK THROUGH THE HEATER CORE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR . WETTING THE FLOOR SOAKING THE CARPET AND CAUSING RUST AND BLACK MOLD. I HAD IT FIXED ONCE, BUT AFTER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHRYSLER CARS THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ALL THEIR VEHICLES FOR YRS NOW. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THIS DESIGN FLAW FIXED. EITHER THEY NEED TO HAVE FREE MAINTENANCE OF THIS OR THEY NEED TO HAVE A SEPARATE TUBE FOR RAIN DRAINAGE AND A DIFFERENT TUBE FOR AC HEAT DRAINAGE.. IT HAS CAUSE DEPRECIATION OF MY OVER ALL RESALE VALUE OF THIS CAR PLUS CAUSED CARPET PADDING DAMAGE RUST AND POSSIBLY MOLD IN MY CAR.. CHRYSLER KEEPS LAYING BACK ON THE OWNERS SAYING MAINTENANCE PROBLEM .. AND CHARGING OVER 500 TO FIX IT. IT'S NOT LIKE AN OWNER CAN EASILY CLEAN THIS AREA IT INVOLVES TAKE APART THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ETC

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.

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.

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

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.

THERE IS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE SO THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AND IT AFFECTS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING.
