My wife and daughters almost died in a car accident due to the apparent failure of this vehicle. We were driving on an HWY at night and the car just died out of nowhere. Dash started to flash and just died. We initially thought that it was the mechanic that had just fixed the car but after an investigation concluded that it was not anything they could have done. My family sustained life-threatening injuries and almost did not make it out alive as thee were rear-ended by a truck. Then on top of it when they were hit no airbags deployed which is what caused the injuries to be so much worse. After reading multiple complaints on NHTSA about the same issue for the same year and make I am baffled that this issue has not been addressed. I almost lost my family.
The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH on the highway, the vehicle stalled, and the vehicle turned off independently. The contact was able to coast over to the right side of the road, and attempted to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle started as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to AAA where it was diagnosed and determined that the totally integrated power module (TIPM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the horn was connected to the module. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
the automobile will shut down when driving uncommanded, when it does this you lose power steering and braking and sometimes locks the steering wheel. the horn sounds uncommanded randomly. the windshield wipers will intermittently not work. have researched the problem and have found this issue is common, with this year and make of vehicle. i have contacted the manufacturer and they have been no help. they state they know there is an issue but they do not have parts to fix the issue. when it shuts down you do not get any lights or notice on the dashboard. this puts the driver and passengers at risk and other drivers. the manufacturer stated on the phone its basically my problem and since they do not have parts to repair it i'm on my own, on finding the part, most likely refurbished
While driving this vehicle the car would shut down while driving, no ability to brake, to steer. The car would start back up, but the same issues would happen, making it extremely dangerous to drive. This happened on several different occasions. One of my issues with this problem is that Chrysler had the same issue with the 2015 Chrysler 200 and the 2015 was recalled. If you look at sites other than Chrysler, customers had reported the same problem with the 2014 and it looks like Chrysler just swept it under the rug. The dealership is saying that the TIPM system needs to be replaced on my car, for a cost of $3000.00 for a know problem.
Horn didn't work and car stalled in the middle of highway. Part (clock spring)inside horn was replaced but horn still went off by itself or didn't work. Entire fuse box ( integrated power module)that controlled horn replaced to solve problem. It has been determined that this was also cause of car stalling out.
The car would slow down out of no where there time when the car doesn't go over 5 miles per hours and throws it self in park some times my door wouldn't open with the bottons can't open my truck
Tl* the contact owned a 2014 Chrysler 200. While driving in the rain, the speed was unknown because the speedometer failed. The contact rear ended the preceding vehicle that had stalled and there were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a fractured right hip, bruising, lack of motion in the right wrist, a fractured left pelvis, bruising to the left knee, and severe bruising to the chest from hitting the windshield. Medical attention was received. The vehicle was towed to superior towing company (2385 sw 66th terrace, davie, fl, 33317) where is was declared totaled by the insurance company. The contact stated that she never received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V668000 (air bags, seat belts) and was not made aware of the recall notification until July 19, 2017 after searching online. …
An electrical fire severely damaged my vehicle. The fire started while the vehicle was being driven. At the time of the fire no accessories were plugged in to the 12v power port. To the best of my knowledge the only accessories that were being used at the time of the incident were the A/C and the radio. The fire was extinguished by a homeowner, but the vehicle sustained heavy damage to the instrument cluster between the front seats. The car is still covered under the full manufacturers warranty, but at this point I am being told that this is not considered a warranty issue because they can not prove that the fire wasn't started by a device plugged into the 12v power port.
My car had a issue with one of the ignition coils malfunctioning causing the part to melt completely melt through the valve cover in dec. 2016. This caused the car to stop while in motion and once I steered it off road, it smoked badly. At this time the car had about 52000 miles on it . As of June 2017, the recall dealing with the seatbelts and airbags have not been fixed nor looked at. I allowed the car to be returned via repo because I was out of nearly $1000 dollars paying the dealer to fix the car and pay for my own rental for two weeks while the corp. Office send the OK for it to be fixed!!
