MY HUSBANDS CHRYSLER 200 2015 HAD HUGE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL WOULD NOT WORK, THE KEYFOB WOULDN'T WORK, THE TRUNK WOULDN'T OPEN AND YOU COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT "FIXED" IT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT, WHICH TOTALED THE CAR COMPLETELY, WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE, INSTEAD THEY HAVE CLOSED SEVERAL CASES/CLAIMS WE HAVE OPENED WITH THEM, NEVER ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE CAR TURNING OFF WITHOUT NOTICE, ONLY THE AIRBAG CONCERN. AGAIN, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE POWER, WHICH RESULTED IN THE ACCIDENT WHICH TOTALED THE CAR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A 3CAR ACCIDENT YESTERDAY 10-10-16 THURSDAY WHERE I WAS THE MIDDLE CAR ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING A RED LIGHT TO STOP. I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEH WAS COMPLETELY AT A STAND STILL OF IT I WAS STILL IN MOTION AT ABOUT 3MPH OR LESS BUT ANOTHER CAR RAN INTO ME FORCING ME INTO THE VAN IN FRONT OF ME. ALTHOUGH MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD SMELL RUBBER, AND THE ICON ON MY DASH SHOWS THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT- BUT THEY DID NOT. I DIDNT REALISE THE MY CAR ASSUMED THE AIRBAGS CAME OUT UNTIL I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY AND THE SEATBELT WAS AND STILL IS LOCKED AS IF IM NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DRIVING BECAUSE MY CAR BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS ARE OUT AT THIS TIME AND IM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND THEY ARE NOT WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A FAULTY PARTS ISSUE GOING ON WITH MY CAR.I HAVE CONTACTED MY MANUFACTURER BUT HAVE HEARD NOTANYTHING SO FAR EXCEPT IT WAS MOVED UP TO THEIR LEGAL DEPT.

WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 -CAR ACCIDENT ON 04/27/2016 PER THE WAY HE VEHICLE WAS HIT AND THE DAMAGES, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF... MEANING THE PUSH TO START WOULD NOT TURN OFF ENGINE... THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THERE IS NO REASON EXACTLY WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BEING THAT THE AXLE IS DAMAGED AS WELL.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY SPOUSE AND I WAS TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGED FORWARD CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I STILL HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY SPOUSE NECK WAS HURTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAD YET TO BE RESOLVED. THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOCK AND I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND IT 'S STILL THERE. THE CAR STILL LUNGES FORWARD FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD AN UPDATE ON ITS SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT ROLLS FORWARD QUITE A BIT. 2 TIMES IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE 5 TIMES AND TODAY IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG. CONNECTORS WERE CHANGED AND WIRING 4 TIMES. CAR HESITATES A LOT ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND STILL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT ON A MAJOR ROAD FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR ROLLED A LITTLE AND DIDN'T GO. IT HESITATED JERKED HARD AND WENT REALLY SLOW. A GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANNY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR VIBRATES. I DON'T HAVE NO AC NOR RADIO ON AND IT JUST VIBRATES. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLERS STAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY VEHICLE JUST UPDATES. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT SPENDS ABOUT A WEEK IN THE SHOP ONCE A MONTH SINCE APRIL. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT BUT THEY CAN HEAR THE RATTLING AND FEEL THE SOUND. I EVEN HAD ONE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DEAL WITH IT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING BUT STAR ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YET AGAIN IT IS AT THE SHOP TODAY GETTING AN UPDATE AND THE AIRBAG BEING REPAIRED.

MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS IMPACTED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE LEFT FENDER AND DRIVER'S DOOR. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH IN MY OPINION FOR THE SIDE AIRBAGS TO RELEASE BUT NOTHING HAPPEN MY WIFE'S HEAD HIT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE PICTURES BUT DO NOT SEE A PLACE TO UPLOAD. THANKS *TR
