What 627 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chrysler 200

SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. WHEN I DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I'M IDLE NOTHING HAPPENS. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY IT JERKS AND STALLS A BIT. I HAVE TO ACCELERATE A LOT TO KEEP IT GOING. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACE 2 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS - BRAND NEW. IT KEEP DRAINING MY BATTERY. THE ALTERNATOR WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T READ IT IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. BUT IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN I'M DRIVING. THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR, HEADLIGHTS, AND RADIO ALL GO OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING THEN BACK ON. THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. I'M ABOUT TO NEED TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED NOW A THIRD TIME WITH NO HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND AND IT DRIVES ROUGH AND I SMELL GAS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST AND I'VE HAD MORE ISSUES WITH IT THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. I'VE ONLY RECEIVED 1 RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CHECKED BECAUSE IT'S TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A CAR THAT'S ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.

I NEED TO GET THIS SOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, DRIVING WITH A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE. ESPECIALLY MY TODDLER IN THE BACK SEAT, IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LIFE THREAT HOWEVER IT IS IF I LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 IT WAS CONSIDERED USED AT THE DEALER AND SOON AFTER PURCHASING IT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE WHEN THE PASSENGER PRESSED THE RED BUTTON TO UNLATCH THE BELT. QUITE A FEW TIMES THE PASSENGER HAD TO LITERALLY CLIMB OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT BELT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IF IT WAS STILL LATCHED I REALLY HAD TO PULL HARD TO GET IT TO UNBUCKLE. SOMETIMES ON LONG TRIPS I WOULD MAKE THE PASSENGER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THIS BECAME QUITE AN ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT WOULD UNBUCKLE AS IT SHOULD HAVE AND OTHER TIMES I FOUGHT WITH IT SO HARD I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD UNBUCKLE. OF COURSE THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT GETTING READY TO DRIVE WITH EVERYONE PUTTING ON THEIR SEAT BELTS AND IT WOULD ONLY BE THE OCCUPANT SEAT BELT THAT WOULD DO THIS WHEN I PARKED AND EVERYONE WAS DEPARTING THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT HAVING A SOLUTION ON OR NEAR THE RECALL DATE OF SEPTEMBER 13, 2016.. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE RECALLS.MOPAR.COM SITE AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION. IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHERE THE OCCUPANT COULD NOT GET THE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED AND THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IT COULD BE SEROUS IF NOT DEADLY. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE AND A RECENT UPDATE STATING THE THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHO SENDS OUT A RECALL NOTICE WITHOUT A SOLUTION? THAT WORRIED ME RIGHT AWAY. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE PEOPLE THAT RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE A SOLUTION RIGHT AWAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIED BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS RECALL IS SOMETHING THAT THEY STATED IF SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FIXED CORRECTLY. IT STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AWAY AND MAYBE THATS WHY IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALER.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN NOV. 2016 THAT MY CAR "MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES". IT ALSO STATES IN BOLD TYPE "THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH". I REGISTERED ONLINE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART FOR REPAIR IS AVAILABLE, AND AS OF MAY 12, 2017 THE PART NEEDED FOR REPAIR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS AND I AM EXTREMELY ANGRY AT CHRYSLER'S LACK OF CONCERN IN MAKING THIS REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF FAMILY AND MYSELF!
