What 1,983 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Chrysler 200

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
