BRAKES, FRONT WHEEL BAR OR SOMETHING, THERMOSTAT, BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST 2017. HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT VERY MUCH AT ALL. NOW ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND I PAID A GREAT DEAL FOR THIS CAR . THE TRANSMISSION ALSO ACTS FUNNY AT TIMES. NOT WANTED TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS HARD. THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE THERMOSTAT WENT OUT. EVERYTHING DROPPED ON THE SCREEN AND RED THERMOSTAT CAME ON AND RED LETTERS ABOUT SOMETHING HOT STABILIZER, THROTTLE BODY, SOMETHING.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AT A SPEED OF 15 MILES PER HOUR. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT IT WAS TO LATE AND I HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS TRAVELING AT 15 MILES PER HOUR GAVE NO FORWARD COLLISION WARNING NOR DID IT ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MADE FOR THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE AND THE SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD HAVE WORKED. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED $6500 IN DAMAGE FROM A MINOR 15 MPH ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OR LESSENED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE THAT I PURCHASED AS AN ADD ON TO THE VEHICLE.

MY CHRYSLER 200 HAD BEEN RECALLED MID 2015 FOR A GLITCH IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT REQUIRED ALL CHRYSLER, DODGE, RAM, AND FIAT VEHICLES WITH THE 8.4 SCREEN TO HAVE A CHIP SENT OUT AND INSTALLED BY SELF TO UPDATE AND INSTILL SECURITY TO THOSE CARS. IN JANUARY OF 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN MY CHRYSLER 200. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS KNOCKED OFF AS I WAS AWAITING A TURN IN A CENTER LANE ON A CITY STREET. MY ENGINE DROPPED AND ALL FLUIDS WERE EXPELLED FROM THIS VEHICLE, MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED CONCERNED ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS TESTED WITH A HAND DEVICE IN A JUNK YARD AND THAT I HAD NOT BEEN HIT HARD ENOUGH OR IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THEM TO DEPLOY. I COULD NOT BELIEVE DUE TO THE FORCE AND DAMAGE DONE BUT WAS STILL TOLD BY A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIR BAGS. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS BUT WAS RESOLD TO A DEALERSHIP IN CINCINNATI, OH AND PUT UP FOR SALE. I AM STILL RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE CAR DUE TO UCONNECT AND IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAME VEHICLE BEING SOLD AND PUT ON THE ROAD.

SINCE DAY ONE OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE FELT A LURCH WHEN I PRESS THE GAS FOR ACCELERATION. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE, THEN JUMP INTO MOTION. WHEN GOING IN LOW SPEEDS IT FEELS AS IF I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. WHEN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME ITS JUST A GLITCH IN THIS CAR.

DRIVING TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT TWO ALERTS ON MY DASHBOARD SIGNALING ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT AND TO SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CARS PERFORMANCE AFTER THESE ALERTS WAS POOR AND IT WAS VERY LOUD. IT WAS STRUGGLING TO GET PAST 40MPH. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND FOUND MY THERMOSTAT, THE HOUSING, AND SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. ALSO FOUND OUT THE MEMORY OF THE CONTROLLER NEEDED TO GO BACK TO A DEALER TO BE ERASED AND RE PROGRAMMED WHICH IS NOT MY FAULT.

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO SLOWLY STOPS AND WAIT THERE TO START THE CAR SOMETIMES I HAVE TO JUMP THE CAR IN ORDER TO START AND THEN ITS OK FOR SOME TIME.

HAVE HAD VEHICLE APPROX 1 YR. WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON CITY STREET CHECK ENGINE CAME ON WITH ENGINE OVERHEAT MSG AND ENGINE COOLING SENSOR AS WELL. REPLACED SENSOR AND WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM READJUSTS ITSELF TO THE NEW SENSOR MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN WITH ADDED SERVICE ELECRTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL MSG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AGAIN. I WAS NEAR OREILL AND IT PRODUCED CODES FOR THERMOSTAT, COOLING SENSOR, SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, ETC. MESSAGES ARE NOT ON SCREEN NOW BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STILL ON. I BELIEVE IT TRIGGERS WHEN COOLING TEMP REACHES APPX, 189 F. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND SEEMS THE PROBLEM ESCALATES TO MUCH WORSE SUCH AS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO RECALLS THUS FAR BUT MANY PEOPLE ANTICIPATING SOMEONE NEEDING TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME AND AM VERY CONCERNED.

ON DECEMBER 31, 2017 MY WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOMEFROM CHURCH WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE READ THE OWNERS MANUAL, NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING CAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS. ON JANUARY 2, 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 A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00 WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. 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. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL AFTER SHE HUNG UP ON ME. SO AT THIS TIME THIS IS WHY I AM WRITING YOU. *JS

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON A TRIP FROM BELLEVUE, OHIO TO FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. AROUND 300 MILES ROUND TRIP, GIVE OR TAKE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE WE LEFT AND IT WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS ON THE RIDE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 3-4 HOURS WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK, GOING DOWN A HILL WITH A CURVE AT THE BOTTOM AND THE CAR JUST DIES. NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE ALMOST HIT A CAMPER. THE ONLY THING THAT STILLED WORKED WAS THE RADIO. THE CAR FINALLY STOPS ON ITS OWN. MY HUSBAND PUTS IT IN PARKING AND CHECKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. WHEN HE TRUE TO START THE BACK UP, IT STRUGGLES THE FIRST TWO TRIES. THE THIRD TIME IT TURNED OVER. NO LIGHTS ON DASH TO EXPLAIN THE STALL. WE NERVOUSLY DRIVE THE CAR ALL THE WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR OVER NIGHT. WE GO IN TO PICK UP OUR CAR AND THEY TELL US THAT THEY HAD TO PUT 3 3/4 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT BEING LOW ON OIL CAUSED THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS FEATURE. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE OUR CAR HAD OVER 50,000 IT WILL BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES..SERIOUSLY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE US 75 DOLLARS FOR LABOR, WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OUR CAR. ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE IT DOES STATE THAT OUR CAR WILL CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 750 MILES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. MY DAD IS A RETIRED MECHANIC OF 45 YEARS AND HES BEYOND OUTRAGED THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. AT 80 AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS A LOT, THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? MIND BLOWN BY THIS.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SEIZES. IT HAPPENED AT 3,500 MILES (DEALERSHIP STATED BLOWN FUSE) AND AGAIN AT 12,500 MILES. I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. IT IS A SUDDEN STOP AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH AND INJURIES. I WILL NOT GET BACK INTO THAT CAR! BOTH TIMES, IT WAS AT 25 MILES PER HOUR, JUST STARTING BACK AFTER A STOP SIGN.
