What 627 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chrysler 200

WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1 GEAR TO THE OTHER THERE IS A NOISE AND A JERK. THE RPM ALSO GOES UP VERY HIGH WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AS IF IT IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. IT WON'T SHIFT UNTIL I STOP ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE 1ST TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND A FLASH WAS SENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK BACK A 2ND TIME AND TOLD THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS MODEL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CAN IMAGINE THE PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE LATER. THEN TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IS DISCOURAGING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LEAVING WORK, I GOT UP TO ROUGHLY 55MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 30K MILES SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. NO CHECK ENGINE OR CHECK BATTERY LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT NEARLY EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 55 TO 0 AND I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT SINCE I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON AND WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED I HAD NOT LEFT THE RIGHT LANE YET. HAD I BEEN ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE HIGHWAY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE IT DID NOT END IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH THAT IT MUST HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY WIFE OR INFANT CHILD IN TO A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUT OFF AT A SPEED OF 55MPH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PRESSED. AFTER THAT 1ST INCIDENT IT'S HAPPENED MORE OFTEN THAN NOT AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE THINKING THAT WE NEED TO PULL OVER WHEN WE DON'T. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS, BUT IT'S A NEW VEHICLE AND IF THIS CONTINUES IT'S GOING TO CAUSE ME POSSIBLY GETTING A TICKET WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHICH IS SOMETHING I'M GOING TO PURSUE CHRYSLER PAYING BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. *TR

NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 I NOTICED THAT EVERY FEW DAYS I HAD TO GET AIR IN MY TIRE. WHEN I HAD MY VERY FIRST SERVICE I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND PUT AIR IN THEM. THEN IT WAS THE SAME EVERY FEW DAYS PUT AIR IN TIRE. WELL ON NEXT SERVICE IT WAS THE SAME OLD THING NOTHING WRONG PUT AIR IN TIRES THIS JUST KEEPS GOING ON. WELL WHEN IT WAS TIME TO ROTATE TIRES THEN THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE WORSE. HAD TO GO FROM EVERY FEW DAYS TO EVERY OTHER DAYS AT NEXT SERVICE GOT THE SAME STATEMENT NOTHING WRONG. NOW ITS GOT TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PUT AIR EVERYDAY AND NOT JUST ONE TIRE BUT ALL OF THEM. I JUST NOW GOT TO 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR. ALSO THEY SAID AND TRIED TO TALK ME INTO GETTING NITROGEN PUT IN WHICH COST MONEY AND IF YOUR ON THE ROAD AND YOUR TIRE GOES LOW YOU CAN'T PUT AIR IN A NITROGEN TIRE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE TIRES KEEP LOOSING AIR BUT THIS IS DARN RIDICULOUS. ALSO LIKE ANOTHER PERSON REPORTED QUITE SOME TIME AGO MY BRAKES MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN BACKING UP. *TR

I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT EVERYDAY SQUEAKING INSTEAD. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND IS NOW A BREAKING SQUEAL EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AS I'VE INVESTIGATED. IF THEY KNEW THIS, WHY WOULD YOU SELL A CAR TO SOMEONE? TO ME, THIS IS A FRAUDULENT ACT WHEREBY THEY INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED THIS VEHICLE AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. NOW THEY SAY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO CHRYSLER, NOT ONLY THAT THEY CAN'T RESOLVE IT, BUT EVERY TIME I STOP, IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEM. *TR

WE DRIVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200, 3.6L V6. WE HAVE 12,500 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS MONTH WE ARE EXPERIENCING A STALLING PROBLEM AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN GETTING READY TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM EXISTED AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT DIED TWO TIMES IN TEN MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. I CHECKED ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY 200. THERE IS AN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V043000 (FEB 06,2013) THAT IS CATEGORIZED AS FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. THIS MAY BE THE ISSUE BUT THE CHRYSLER DEALER DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS RECALL IS FOR A GAS TANK THAT HAS A BROKEN CONTROL VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. I THINK THAT MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR COULD BE ONE THAT WAS DISCOVERED TWO YEARS AGO ON 2011 CHRYSLER 200 WITH 3.6L V6 ENGINES. MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHEN IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP WITHOUT A WARNING SIGN AND NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHT. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I BELIEVE THAT IT LET ME START IT WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. MY CAR HAS STALLED (4) TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THE NHTSA OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO STALLING PROBLEMS ON JUNE 22, 2012. IT COVERED AN ESTIMATED 87,288 VEHICLES. CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THEY HAD IDENTIFIED A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DEFECT IN THEIR 3.6L ENGINES. THE PCM WAS INITIATING A PURGE MONITOR CHECK WHILE THE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE OR SLOWING DOWN. THE PURGE RESULTED IN AN "OVERLY RICH VAPOR CONDITION THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL". CHRYSLER DEVELOPED A SOFTWARE PATCH WHICH REPROGRAMS THE PCM. THE PATCH WAS RELEASED AS PART OF A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" IN SEPTEMBER 2012. THE NHTSA CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION AND DID NOT FORCE CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE CHRYSLER CLASSIFIED THE PROBLEM AS "LOW RISK". *TR
