What 192 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Chrysler 200

FIRST I HAVE NOTICED MY CAR DELAYS AND JERKS WHEN PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE WINTER. MORE RECENTLY MY CAR TRIED TO ACCELERATE A COUPLE TIMES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEY STATED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR DO THE SAME THING, THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SECOND THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS WAS FIRST PUBLISHED ALMOST A YEAR AGO. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT ARE PLACED IN THAT VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR THEM AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT IS IN MY CAR IF I AM TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS FAR TOO LONG TO KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM AND NOT FIX IT. I WAS GOING TO TRADE IN MY CAR AND TRY TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. WELL NOW I CAN NOT DO THAT AS MY CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $5,000 EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I STILL OWE ABOUT $12,000. SO NOW I AM LEFT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR THAT IS KNOWN TO BE UNSAFE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

"TAKATA RECALL". I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS CAR AND AM AFRAID TO ALLOW ANY PASSENGER RIDE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I NEED TO SELL MY CAR FOR MY WORK AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IN, EVEN TO CHRYSLER WITHOUT A HUGE REDUCTION IN THE VALUE DUE TO THIS RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN OCT 2016 INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2017. WHEN I CALLED IN JUNE 2017, I WAS TOLD AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF 2017. EACH WEEK AND MONTH THAT THIS IS DELAYED, MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING AND I AM LOSING MONEY BY NOT BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR MY JOB. I CANNOT BELIEVE 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING THIS DELAY BY CHRYSLER. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRADE IT IN AT IT'S VALUE, BUT NOT FOR LESS THAN IT IS WORTH. WHAT CAN I DO?

NHTSA ODI 11001034

MY CAR HAD A ISSUE WITH ONE OF THE IGNITION COILS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE PART TO MELT COMPLETELY MELT THROUGH THE VALVE COVER IN DEC. 2016. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP WHILE IN MOTION AND ONCE I STEERED IT OFF ROAD, IT SMOKED BADLY. AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD ABOUT 52000 MILES ON IT . AS OF JUNE 2017, THE RECALL DEALING WITH THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED NOR LOOKED AT. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO BE RETURNED VIA REPO BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF NEARLY $1000 DOLLARS PAYING THE DEALER TO FIX THE CAR AND PAY FOR MY OWN RENTAL FOR TWO WEEKS WHILE THE CORP. OFFICE SEND THE OK FOR IT TO BE FIXED!!

IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS AND CHRYSLER STILL CANNOT REPAIR/REPLACE THE PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT.
