While driving down the interstate my car jumped a little then I could not go above 20 miles and hour. Once I arrived to a safe location I turned off my engine and then restarted. It seemed ok, but during the incident there was a flash on my dash that said "CHECK THROTTLE". I took it to a service station and they ran a code check on the vehicle. They stated the following: 1. ECM (Engine Control Module) 2. TCM (Transmission Control Module) 3. ORC (Air Bag/Occupant Restraint) My car is a 2017 Chrysler 200 VIN [redacted]. It has 55,600 miles on it, actual miles. Due to these error codes the mechanic stated I need to take the car to a dealership to have them fixed. [redacted]
For years now, my car has randomly, without notice, stalls, says "Shift To P" and goes limp. There's nothing I can do in that moment besides try to get to safety before the car stops in the middle of the road. I've brought it in multiple times with no change or information as to what's causing it. One dealership claimed I just needed an oil change which it didn't but to prove my point, I brought it in after it stalled 2-3 days after an oil change. At this point, there's been zero help or care. It's only a matter of time until it causes an accident. Other owners definitely have this issue as well since they're reported on here too. Any help? Or do all of us just lose money or potentially more...?

The car is constantly needs a jump start , and the pedal will not accelerate. I have had multiple diagnosis and they don't know what it is- the cruise control component comes on at the beginning of the jump start until the car runs. Auto Zone and Midas has checked the battery, alternator, did a draw and they can't find the issue. When driving the pedal will not accelerate- may have to pull over, and restart- then it works, until you disengage the car. They charged me over 30,000.00 dollars for this vehicle and I'm still paying on it and I can't even drive it because I feel unsafe, especially with the pedal. It's too cold to get up and jump start a car every morning. I'm paying 460.54 every month for a car that I don't know that's wrong with it- I purchase a warranty and though I didn't hit the mileage they said it expired because it was for three years. This should be illegal. …

I purchased a 2017 Chrysler 200 limited from steve lander's Chrysler Dodge Jeep February 12, 2018. On February 24,2018 I had to return my vehicle do to my vehicle accelerating on it's own when my foot was removed from the brake pedal. Upon accelerating my gas gusher would drop a not h each time. February 23, 2018 my vehicle did an update that night; that at when it started. I called the dealership the same night and talk with emil the finance manager. He told me to bring it in the next day. Which was February 24, 2018. My I was told it was ready one week later so I go to pick it up. The problem wasn't fixed. I left it there. I received a phone call from melinda saying a technician drove my car and the transmission slammed so hard the tech thought it fell out the vehicle. So my transmission was replaced. …
