CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION

NHTSA ODI 11089132

IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECALL WORK WAS DONE I EXPERIENCE ISSUES. WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR (PUSH TO START REQUIRES YOU TO PUSH THE BREAK AND PUSH THE BUTTON) BREAK PEDDLE WON'T DEPRESS, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS COMES ON. I CALL A TOW TRUCK AND GET IT DROPPED OFF AT THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP. I ARRIVE BEHIND THE TOW TRUCK AND WATCH IT BE DROPPED OFF EXPLAIN TO SERVICE ADVISER WHATS GOING ON AND I JUST HAD RECALL WORK DONE AND THAT IS WHEN THE ISSUES STARTED. IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT MY CAR OR KNOWING WHAT CAR IS MINE SHE SAYS NO ITS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. SHE IS NOT A TECHNICIAN AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE CAUSE YET. THEY CALL LATER IN THE DAY AND TELL ME THE BODY CONTROL MODULE HAS SHORTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NO LONGER COMMUNICATING WITH THE TCM(THE TCM WAS UPDATED DURING RECALL WORK BUT THE BCM WAS NOT.) THE TWO CAN LONGER COMMUNICATE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW BASICALLY SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. OF COURSE I AM TOLD NOT RELATED TO RECALL. THE NEXT DAY I GET A CALL SAYING MY BATTERY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY WORKING GREAT CAN NO LONGER PASS A TEST. SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO CRANK AND START MY CAR( THE CAR THAT WENT IN FOR A BREAK PEDDLE THAT WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND WOULD NOT START) I NOW NEED TO PAY FOR A NEW BATTERY AND THERE IS AN INSTALLATION FEE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. NEXT DAY MY CARS STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK AND SOMETHING ELSE HAS SHORTED OUT. MY RENTAL CAR NOT ONLY HAS TRASH IN THE BACK SEAT BUT A ROACH THAT CRAWLS OUT FROM IN BETWEEN THE SEATS. I GET A CALL THAT THE TECH WHO WORKED ON MY CAR FINISHED AT CLOSING TIME SO TO BRING BACK THE RENTAL NEXT DAY! I'M THINKING MY CAR WONT HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES, I'M WRONG!! THE MENU ON MY CAR LETS YOU VIEW THE TIRE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURES OF THE VEHICLE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE OIL TEMP DOESN'T DISPLAY. THE SETTING FOR MY DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED WITH THE HAND SENSOR ON DRIVER DOOR WONT WORK!

TRANSMISSION HAS A HARSH SHIFT & SLIPS AT TIMES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER'S CORPORATE WON'T ADDRESS THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE'S NO TROUBLE CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE LESS THAN 3000 MILES BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES.

MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2016. IT HAD BEEN REPORTED LATER THE SAME YEAR THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT NOR RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THIS AIR BAG WARNING IS MAKING ME ANXIOUS FOR MY SAFETY. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, BUT HOW IS THAT MY ISSUE. I HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN SIX MOS. IN 2016 IT IS NOW 2018. I THOUGHT THAT SURELY UPON CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN 2016 AND FILING THE COMPLAINT THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BY NOW, BUT TO MY DISMAY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AS LITTLE OF A CONCERN OR INQUIRY REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS PRODUCT.

PARKING BRAKE SENSOR IS FAULTY. DASHBOARD SAYS PARKING BRAKE IS ON. HOWEVER I RESET THE PARK AND LIGHT ON DASH SHOULD GO OFF. DOESN'T. SEAT BELTS ALARM STAYS ON WHEN SEAT BELTS ARE ALL CLICKED CLOSED. FAULTY. AIR BAG FOR PASSENGER SEAT ALWAYS SAYS BROKEN & NOT WORKING, THEREFORE IF IN A ACCIDENT I CAN SUE CHRYSLER FOR INJURIES BECAUSE AIR BAG WON'T DEPLOY. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. FAULTY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THESE 4 ITEMS.

THE BATTERY WILL SUDDENLY DIE. NEEDS TO BE JUMPED. AFTER A FEW HOURS WILL DIE AGAIN. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THE PROBLEMS KEEPS HAPPENING.

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN MY CHRYSLER 200 CUT OFF. THE SCREEN READ, SHIFT TO PARK TO START. I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT DIDNT START. THEN I WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME THE CAR SHUT OFF, IT WAS AFTER DRIVING ONLY A FEW MINUTES AT 25 MPH. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BOTH TIMES AND IT WAS PRETTY SCARY BECAUSE I OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY THREE YR OLD. THE CAR IS A LEMON AND CHRYSLER SHOULD GIVE EVERYBODY THEIR MONEY BACK OR MOST OF IT. CHRYSLER IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES AND RECALLING IT DOESNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

THE RADIO SCREEN FREEZES ALL THE TIME. THE RADIO GOES IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME. THIS PAST WINTER, I COULD NOT USE MY HEAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE LIGHTS WOULD START FLASHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE, IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD STARTS FLASHING.

TAKATA RECALL I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 I'M HEARING A RATTLING NOISE WHENEVER I GO OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMPS BIG OR SMALL. IT'S THE STRUTS & STRUT MOUNTS THEY ARE BAD, THE SWAY BAR LINKS ARE PRETTY BAD TOO AND I WANTED TO GET THEM REPLACED. BUT THE PROBLEM IS I CAN'T. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND I ALSO CALLED SOME PLACES THEY ALL SAID THERE'S NO STRUTS FOR THIS CAR ON THE MARKET. SO I CAN'T GET THIS PROBLEM FIX, I NEED HELP THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND NOW THE LIGHTS ARE GOING COMPLETELY OUT. I THOUGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE ONLY FEATURE AFFECTED UNTIL TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT AS WELL CREATING A VERY BAD SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. I JUST CHECK IT FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND MY VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER EARLIER MODELS THAT APPEAR TO BE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT WERE COVERED BY RECALL IS THERE ANY WAY THAT A RECALL MAY BE ARRIVING ON THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY BEFORE ALL OF THIS STARTED AS WELL AS A CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR FAULTY COOLANT SENSOR AS WELL. ALL MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRES PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THIS WEEKEND WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON.. ON MARCH 21, 2018 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR ME AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. LATER THAT DAY THE SERVICE MAN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BOTH HAD A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $1080.00 EACH WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THAT HAS ALREADY COSTED ME $2500.00 TO REPAIR. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER SAFETY PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF SERVICE CALLS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED TWO OTHER DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THIS MUST BE AN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALER CALLED OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. AND IT WAS NOT COVERED.

THE CAR STATES THAT THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE SYSTEM, BUT THE WARNING KEEPS COMING BACK. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BEFORE AND AND THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSITIONING OF THE GEARS. IT JUMPS ALOT AND RUNS ROUGH. MY CAR ALSO HAS BEEN STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. JUST RECENTLY THE CAR ISN'T EVEN STARTING. IT TAKES AWHILE FOR IT TO START UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TOO AND I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT STATES THAT I NEED TO SERVICE MY TRANSMISSION.

AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, THEN SUDDENLY SLAMS INTO GEAR AND LUNGES ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS FRIGHTENING WHEN IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND BEGINNING TO MOVE, THE CAR SUDDENLY JOLTS TO A STOP AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DIGGING IN, AND WILL NOT MOVE. IT THEN INDICATES THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ENGAGED WHEN I NEVER TOUCHED THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS ALSO FRIGHTENING WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN THE BRAKE SUDDENLY ENGAGES, ALL ON IT'S OWN ACCORD, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO RELEASE.

MY LIGHT FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER HAS TURNED ON. I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR AROUND JULY OF LAST YEAR AND TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT HAS TURNED OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY AND IS NOT TURNING OFF AND THE SOUND KEEPS GOING OFF EVERY COUPLE MINUTES.

ON THURSDAY 03/8/2018 AND SATURDAY 03/10/2018 WE STARTED OUR VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TRAVELED LESS THAN 1/4 OF A MILE DOWN OUR STREET WHEN A WARNING ALARM SOUNDED AND THE DASH BOARD READ SOMETHING LIKE, "PULL OVER AND PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO START." WHEN WE TRIED TO START (KEY-LESS CAR) IT WOULD NOT START RIGHT WAY AND MADE AN ALMOST GRINDING SOUND. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, EVENTUALLY IT STARTED. I DO SEE 2 RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH DESCRIBE THE VEHICLE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING BUT WHEN I PLACE MY VIN IN THE SEARCH IT DOES NOT IDENTIFY ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE RECALL NUMBERS I BELIEVE MAY RELEVANT TO OUR VEHICLE IS CHRYSLER'S R24 AND S55.
