2011 Chrysler 200 Complaint Log

IN DRIVE, COASTING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE DOWN SHIFTED AND THEN ONCE CAR AT A COMPLETE STOP, ENGINE LOST POWER - OTHER ELECTRICAL STILL WORKING BUT NOT ENGINE. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK, THEN TURN IGNITION KEY TO RESTART CAR. ENGINE RESTARTED AND REST OF TRIP WAS OK WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. ON 08/31/2015 THE CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND A HARNESS THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SINCE WE DO RUN THE LIABILITY OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE CAR HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP.

MY FIRST PROBLEM IS AN WORSENING SQUEAKING AND GRINDING IN MY BRAKES. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCT 2011 AND STARTED HAVING SQUEAKING BRAKES IN MARCH 2012. I HAVE RETURNED MY CAR TO THE BUYING DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES PRIOR TO MY 12,000 BRAKE WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING. MY BRAKE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE I HEAR IT CONSTANTLY WITH ANY STOPPING MOTION. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A NON CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC AND I WAS SHOWN MY REAR BRAKES ARE WARPED. AND THE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS MECHANIC DID NOT WANT TO FIX THE ISSUE HE STATED RETURN TO YOUR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE EVEN IF WE REPLACE THE PADS THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I CALLED THE BUYING DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY AND TOLD THE PERSON IN SERVICE CENTER WHAT I WAS TOLD HE GUARANTEED HIS TECHNICIAN DID THEIR JOB AND REFUSED TO LOOK IN THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID SINCE THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT INDIVIDUAL IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND TOTALLY DISREGARD MY CONCERN. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUATERS FILED A COMPLAINT THAT SAME DAY. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE TECHNICIAN AGREED MY ROTORS IN THE REAR WHERE WARPED AND "REGLOSSED THEM" THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER TELLING HIM THE NOISE NEVER WENT AWAY. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE NEW BRAKE PADS OR TO BE REGLOSSED. HE ADVISED ME MY PADS ARE PLACED IN A CERTAIN POSITION THAT CAUSES THEM TO MAKE THAT NOISE BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER IF THIS WAS ABNORMAL OR NORMAL. BUT PRETTY MUCH DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM EACH DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC REGARDLESS IF THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED IF THE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE THEY WILL NEVER WORK PROPERLY. MY SECOND CONCERN IS MY CAR HAS STALLED THREE TIMES IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2012 WHILE DRIVING GOING LESS THAN 20 MILES. *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE MOTOR SHUT OFF. II HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE MOTOR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN 12 MONTHS. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS NORMAL UPON RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,950.

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING. ONCE THE LIGHT CHANGED, I STARTED IT UP AGAIN. IT HAD NO DIFFICULTY IN STARTING BACK UP. *JB

WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR TRAVELING AT 60MPH AND WAS PUSHED UNDER A TRUCK. THE ENGINE POPPED UP AND THE BACK WAS PUSHED UP INTO BACKSEAT. I WROTE TWICE BUT NEVER HEARD NOTHING BACK. I GO TO COURT FOR MY ACCIDENT SINCE THE OWNER OF TRUCK SUING ME AND DRIVER BEHIND ME JUNE 30, 2014. MY CAR WAS TOTALED WITH COST OF REPAIR $21000 ON A CAR I HAD FOR APPROX 8 MONTHS. DATE OF ACCIDENT WAS 6/9/12 NOT ONE AIR BAG CAME OUT/ DEPLOYED. I WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN AMBULANCE ON A STRETCHER. WHAT CAN I DO? *JS

MY CAR WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, FULLY STOPPED, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I HIT RELEASED THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS. NOTHING HAPPENED. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. THE TACH WAS AT 0. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE. I DROVE AWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. *TT

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WE COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART. BUT THE RADIO AND THE WINDOWS WORKED. WHEN WE WOULD ATTEMPT TO RESTART, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SINCE THERE WERE NO CODES AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AT STOPS SUCH AS STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS ETC. COMPUTER SHOWS NO INCIDENTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TT

I WILL BE DRIVING AND WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, MY CAR WILL STOP AND SUDDENLY JOLT REALLY BAD. IT WAS SO BAD THE OTHER DAY THE CAR BEHIND US LAID ON THEIR HORN BECAUSE THEY WERE ABOUT TO HIT US. I AM SURE THAT THIS CAR THOUGHT I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THIS CAR ALWAYS STOPS THEN SURGES OR JOLTS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT DUPLICATED IT WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE. THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH I HAVE READ ABOUT MULTIPLE CASES JUST LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET. THIS HAPPENS TO ME VERY OFTEN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHENEVER DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE OR MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WHICH DISTORTED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE HEADLAMPS WERE READJUSTED EACH TIME BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62.

OUR 2011 CHRYSLER 200 HAS ABOUT 8000 MILES AND HAS BEEN STALLING, SURGING IDLE SPEEDS WHEN STOPPED, AND DOWNSHIFTING HARD (JOLTING) FOR THE LAST 2000 MILES OR SO. TOMORROW IS THE FIRST TIME TAKING IT IN SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS REASON AFTER HAVING THE DEALER ANNOTATE THESE SYMPTOMS DURING THE LAST OIL CHANGE. IT IS NOT SAVE TO HAVE A CAR'S IDLE JUMP WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR INTERSECTION NOR IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A CAR STALL OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. FURTHERMORE, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR SO THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IF IT DOES NOT GET FIXED I WILL BE CONTACTING MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AS I AM FEARFUL THAT ONE OF THESE LUNGES WILL RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 65. I BEGAN TO SLOW IN FAR RIGHT LANE FOR EXIT RAMP. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED LEAVING ME WITH NO ABILITY TO GET OFF HIGH WAY. NO POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC. THE CAR DID START AGAIN AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK AND TURNING IGNITION. VERY DANGEROUS AS FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND CAR JERK FORWARD INTO INTERSECTION. MY FOOT WAS ON BRAKE BUT IT STILL LURCHED FORWARD. WHEN I TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WHEN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC. *TR

WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND AS I BEGAN TO GO MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR BACK IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN A WEEK AND A HALF LATER AND I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME. *TR

WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR DIED AND I DIDN'T"T EVEN KNOW IT. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE CAR HAD DIED COMPLETELY, AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES 4/8/12, 4/10/12 AND 4/21/12. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER @ CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE. CLEVELAND AVENUE, NEWARK DELAWARE.19711. PHONE 302-731-0100. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY SAID THE CODES SHOWED NOTHING. THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME, I CAN'T SLEEP, AND IT MAKES ME UNSAFE. IT PUTS MY SAFETY AT RISK AND OTHERS. *TR

MY CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED IN MAY 2011 HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF SPORADICALLY WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS (MID-FEB THROUGH MARCH 2012). I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED TWICE TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE NO COMPUTER CODES FOR MALFUNCTIONS CAN BE DETECTED. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE THE ENGINE IS IDLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL VERY BUSY ROADS, AND HAS LEFT ME WITH MY FLASHERS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKWAYS IN THE CITY WITH 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I RUN A SERIOUS RISK OF BEING REAR-ENDED. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURN THE KEY TO "OFF" AND THEN TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON AGAIN BEFORE I CAN GO.

I BOUGHT THE NEW 200 SEPT 9 2011. ON JAN 19, 2012, O AGAIN AFTER 1 WEEK, WENT TO THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP BECAUSE THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THEY RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. AS I WAS DRIVING THRU THE LOT, ABOUT TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP, THE ENGINE DIED. SO I RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT IT DID NOT RUN SMOOTHLY OR SOUND GOOD AT ALL. IT SOUNDED, RAN AND FELT LIKE THE FUEL MIXTURE AND PRESSURE WAS FAULTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW ON. I TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO SERVICE DEPT. AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. THEY CHECKED INTO IT AND AFTER 20-30 MINUTES SAID THE MAP SENSOR NEED FURTHER EVALUATION AND I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE. THEY SAID MAP IS MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE. THEY CALLED ME LATER AND SAID THE MAP SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOTES ON THE WORK ORDER SAY SOMETHING ABOUT A "P0108" MAYBE IT'S PO108 (ZERO OR AN O??) PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. TWICE SINCE THEN ENGINE HAS IDLED VERY POORLY BUT IT DIDN'T DIE. *KB

AFTER A SHIFTING UPDATE PERFORMED AT CHRYSLER DEALER IN JAN 2014. THE CAR S TRANSMISSION RUNS ODD. THE RPM STICKS AT 3 WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE RPM GAUGE JUNE WHILE DRIVING EVEN W CRUISE SET. SLOW AND HESITANT WHILE UP HILL OR SPEEDING UP. TOOK TO DEALER 3XS W SAME ISSUE NO RESULTS. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES. ONE DAY THE WARNING LIGHT DINGED A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING CAR BUT STILL NO LIGHTS/CODES. DEWEY SAID DRIVE IT TIL IT STALLS (IT HAS) OR TIL DASH LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE CAR HAS DIED. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN IT DIED TODAY. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY SON ON HIS RETURN FROM THE DOCTOR OFFICE. HE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND SLOWING DOWN FOR AN UPCOMING SLOPE AND 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN. AS THE CAR HEADED DOWN THE SLOPE, IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. HE WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE, OR TURN THE WHEEL. BEING UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR HE HIT A TREE HEAD-ON. THIS DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ALONE AND PRETTY MUCH DEMOLISHED THE CAR'S FRONT END. THE POLICE SAID IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR THE TREE, I WOULD BE SITTING IN AT HOSPITAL OR PLANNING A FUNERAL, AS THE CAR WOULD HAVE PLUNGED DOWN A 25 FOOT EMBANKMENT FILLED WITH LARGE BOULDERS. I WILL BE CONTACTING CHRYSLER TOMORROW MORNING. *TR

LIVE IN MN. WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR ICY ROADS THE REAR END SWAYS BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH YOU FEEL LIKE THE CAR WILL SWAY SO FAR OUT OF CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST WINTER OWNED THE CAR I STARTED TO ACCELERATE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS SOME DRY TAR BUT ALSO NARROW STRIPS OF ICE HERE AND THERE BUT I COULD NOT EVEN GET MY SPEED UP 30 MPH WITHOUT THE BACK END OF THE CAR SWAYING SO HARD I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF CAUSING A WRECK. WE'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH OUR COMPLAINT BUT NO REMEDY FROM THEM. RIGHT NOW MY DAUGHTER AND HER FATHER ARE DRIVING THIS CAR FROM ILLINOIS (DEC 2013) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HIGHWAY IS WET AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT THE BACK END SWAYING HARD BACK AND FORTH. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SEE IF THEY CAN PROVIDE RESOLUTION. I'VE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE AND WISH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE DO NOT WANT TO OWN THIS ROAD HAZARD ANY LONGER. I DON'T WANT ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR SNOW ANYMORE. I'M TERRIFIED THIS VEHICLE WILL CAUSE THE DEATH OF SOMEONE!! *TR

WHEN IN REVERSE THE BACK BRAKES SQUEAK. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL, I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN IT IS COLD OR HOT THE BRAKES WOULD MAKE THE LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND. THE NEXT TIME I WENT BACK WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX. I'M HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIME THAT THERE IS NO FIX. *TR

MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASED (BRAND NEW) TENDS TO WEAR THE BACK TIRES OUT AND SWERVES WHEN IT HITS A BUMP, RAIN, OR SNOW. IT GETS WORSE WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF WEIGHT IN THE BACK. SUCH AS, TWO PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND FOR THIS REASON I TEND TO BE ALONE IN THE CAR BECAUSE IT COULD BECOME DANGEROUS TO TAKE PASSENGERS.
