Vehicle is a safety hazard. On 7/28/2017 I almost at a fatal accident and almost ran off of the road due to impair vision. 1 of my complaints to dealership and Chrysler was that my front windshield defroster is not working. I have expressed my concern and fear to both parties. Also, I have other on going issues with the transmission, stalling, hesitating, pulling side to side, consuming gas, jerking, making a clucking noise, HVAC issues, drive shaft and shifting gears.
The check engine light always is on the light of the air bag warning is off and on and most of the time remain on the system does not indicate when the tires are under the pressure . Water enters through the passenger left door,making the door very heavy
My family and I where exiting the freeway off-ramp, when all off a sudden the car stalled on me. My kids where absolutely scared, they where very nervous when a car almost hit us. On one occasion a car came from the side swerving towards us honking nearly side swiping us. At this point in time I am very dissatisfied with the safety of the car. My family means the world to me, never did I think a brand new car will give me an absolute turnaround on the safety outcome it's given us up until now. I received a letter along with a phone call about the recall on the make and model that I purchased (Chrysler 200) recall status. I immediately set up an appointment with the dealer to take it in for the following recall service: 14113 ro1 recall wc 0.50 reprogrammed PCM and TCM module. …
On sept 23, 2015 I took my car into ed voyles because I had been experiencing problems with the shifting of the transmission of my car. The check engine light came on and the transmission was bucking and jerking while driving 30 MPH. I had to throw the car in neutral for it to stop. The service mechanic test drove my car on sept. 23 and noted that it was shifting hard but since there was not an open recall for it they could not fix it. On October 24, 2015 I received a letter in the mail stating that the an open recall on the power distribution center and electrical connector. I tried to schedule an appointment to get this problem fixed with ed voyles (the place I purchased the car from) to no avail. They informed me that Chrysler was not accepting orders for the part that I needed and that they could not do anything until Chrysler let them order parts. …
S55 recall concern: I feel completely unsafe in this vehicle!! I bought the vehicle in October 2017 starting in late November early December 2017 the vehicle started shutting off by itself when I am driving it shifts to neutral by itself and completely dies. It happens randomly when I am braking or accelerating. This happens at least every 3-6 miles I drive and I have to drive alot working an hour away. This is very scary especially when you are turning in the middle of an intersection and it just stops. Sometimes it gives warnings by lighting up random lights like slippery road, the check engine light, and sputters so I can anticipate it since it happens all the time!!! …
A couple months after I purchased my Chrysler 200 I began to have many problems with it such as electrical problems and speed control problems. The main ' in the Chrysler wou a couple months after I purchased my Chrysler 200 I began to have many problems with it such as electrical problems and speed control problems. The main dash in the Chrysler will constantly flashing all of its lights and tell me that my parking brake needs serviced and that my transmission needs serviced. I have gone into the dealership where I purchased the car and have been told that nothing is wrong with the car it just needs a software update but that never solves any of my problems. The car tries to stall out every day in the middle of driving and while it's trying to stall out tends to jump and accelerate on its own. On June 6, 2018 my Chrysler 200 was involved in a collision. …
Randomly if I hit a bump my airbag light will come on. Now for a 2015 200 limited why am I needing to replace the whole starter assembly and now to have to replace the air shutter grille. The vehicle headlamps are extremely poor. It's very hard to see see on all highways, side streets etc. Now the traction stabilizers light came on as I was backing in to a parking space as well as my brakes just started making a squealing noise out no where as driving on the street. There no reason why there should not be a recall on multiple vehicle issues as most people are stating. Why isn't there a number I can call to file a compliant with all the vehicle issues I've experienced? This just crazy then to have to come outta $1,300.00 for vehicle repairs is crazy! Why does this vehicle stall when the oil is low shameful for the vehicle to stop and and barely start back! …
On multiple occasions since I purchased my vehicle in 1/2018 I've experienced issues. When putting the vehicle in drive it wants to stall as soon as I press the gas and putters along until it gets enough energy and when trying to gain speed the vehicle doesn't have enough juice to go such as getting on the highway, I normally have to drive in the medium to get enough speed to move into the traffic otherwise I'm bound to get rear ended. The slightest bump in the road causes my airbag light and notification to come on. While pulling away from stop signs and traffic lights the vehicle turns off and takes about 5-10 minutes to start back up , unable to move steering wheel to move vehicle out of traffic. Lights on the inside ( dash, radio) dim extremely low during daylight unable to see anything. …
In June 2016 the AWD light came on while I was driving on the parkway. A call to the service dept. Said it could be a glitch in the computer, turn it off for a while and restart. The AWD light continued to light up. I took it in for service the dealer said it was a computer chip problem (ptu module was bad) that took 4 days two fix.two weeks later on 7/18/16 after noticing dark spots on my driveway I took the car in, the diagnosis was a leak of transmission fluid in the bell housing causing the transmission in a 2 year old car to be replaced. An hour ago, (7/28/18 9:30p) I was driving 60 miles an hour on the gsp when the battery light suddenly came on and "shift to p" message came on in the dash. The "d" on the gear shift panel started flashing about a min later the vehicle began to lose power. I pulled over and restarted the car. …
