A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THE AIR BAG SENSOR CAME ON . THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING AND SEATS. THEY WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ WHERE THE CHRYSLER 200 HAD RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR.

IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN THE MORNING WHEN MY CAR HAS BEEN IDLE FOR A FEW HOUR. ON SHARP TURNS OR ABRUPT BRAKING IN THE CITY MY CHRYSLER 200 2015 WILL STALL. FIRST, THE ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF ALONG WITH A BELL WARNING SOUND AND THEN THE CAR WILL STALL. I WILL THEN HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WITH NO POWER), STOP THE CAR, ENGAGE THE DIAL TO PARK AND PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AGAIN. WHEN I DO THIS, THE STARTER WILL STRUGGLE TO START, BUT AFTER 8 SECOND THE ENGINE WILL TURNOVER. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE NOW. THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AT 58,000 MILES AND NOW I AM AT 70,000 MILES.

THE RADIO/MEDIA CENTER SOFTWARE HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO WILL PLAY AND YOU WILL HEAR SOUNDS BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANY TRANSACTIONS GOING ON. IT STAYS ON THE SAME STATION THAT YOU LEFT IT ON AND IT COMES ON AND GOES OUT EVERY MINUTE. THE OTHER FEATURES WON'T SHOW AT ALL (MEDIA, PHONE, NAVIGATION ETC.). IT DOES THIS WHILE THE CAR IS ON OR OFF! I TRIED TO FIX IT VIA THE ONLINE INFORMATION THAT THE WEBSITES OFFERS TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR EXPIRED OF COURSE.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE IT MAKES A SPRING SOUND. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE GEAR SWITCHES BY ITSELF AND THE CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF.

ON THE NIGHT OF 5/11 I CAME HOME FROM A BUSINESS TRIP IN A RENTAL VEHICLE AND PULLED MY PERSONAL VEHICULAR OUT OF MY UNDERGROUND SECURED GARAGE TO TAKE TO A STORE APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AWAY. AFTER RETURNING TO MY APARTMENT I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE OUTSIDE PARKING LOT JUST FOR THAT NIGHT AS I PARKED THE RENTAL UNDERGROUND. ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING MY VEHICLE I HEARD 2 LOUD BOOMING SOUNDS I COULD HEAR FROM MY APARTMENT. ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER THE BOOMING SOUNDS THREE POLICE OFFICERS CAME TO MY APARTMENT DOOR AND TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THEY TOOK ME DOWN TO THE PARKING LOT AND TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION THAT LED TO THE FIRE. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO SAW SPARKS FLYING WHICH LED THE POLICE DETECTIVE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT TO THINK IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT LED TO THE EXPLOSION. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT ON FILE AND I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE.

MY CAR HAS ALWAYS ACTED LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TAKING OFF. I'M ON MY THIRD BATTERY SINCE PURCHASE. THE LAST BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONE MONTH AGO. NOW LAST WEEK A CAR CUT ME OFF AT A LIGHT. WHEN I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES MY CAR QUIT MAKING ME MISS THE LIGHT! WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT REALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS AND THEN IT JUST STARTS! THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY I WAS COMING TO A RED LIGHT I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO GO BUT MY CAR QUIT AGAIN AT A GREEN LIGHT ! I COULD'VE BEEN REAR ENDED! AGAIN I PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY STARTING NOISES BUT EVENTUALLY STARTS! WHEN DRIVING IT'S FINE BUT WHEN STOPPING AND TAKING OFF IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT AND NOW IT'S QUIT ON ME TWICE IN ONE WEEK!
