2013 Chrysler 200 Brakes Problems

EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS, MY BRAKES START SCRUBBING AND I HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING MY CAR WHEN DRIVING AND AS A RESULT OF FREQUENT BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. THIS HAS BECOME EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN 2014 AND IT HAS CONTINUED THROUGH 2018.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,700. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/09/17*LJ *CN

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY WHEN DEPRESSED, CAUSING THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE ABS MODULE, BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

AFTER 14000 MILES FRONT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO OWN A 2011 CHRYSLER 200, ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AT 19000 MILES. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS USING POOR MATERIAL FOR THERE FRONT BRAKES. SINCE I REPLACED THE 2011 BRAKES, WITH AUTO ZONE PARTS, I HAVE GONE OVER 40,000 MILES MORE AND BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

2013 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOUD NOISE COMING FROM BRAKES, ONLY WHEN BACKING UP. *SMD THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN, AS IF IT WERE GOING TO STOP. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *JB

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, PARK, STOP SIGNS, AND ON THE FREEWAY. MY DAUGHTER HAVE THE SAME CAR YEAR AND MODEL AND SHE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER AND THE REFER ME TO A DEALER IN ONTARIO. THE DEALER SAID THAT I NEEDED BRAKES. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD BOTH FRONT AND BACK BRAKES INSTALLED BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT STILL COMES ON.

I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT EVERYDAY SQUEAKING INSTEAD. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND IS NOW A BREAKING SQUEAL EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AS I'VE INVESTIGATED. IF THEY KNEW THIS, WHY WOULD YOU SELL A CAR TO SOMEONE? TO ME, THIS IS A FRAUDULENT ACT WHEREBY THEY INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED THIS VEHICLE AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. NOW THEY SAY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO CHRYSLER, NOT ONLY THAT THEY CAN'T RESOLVE IT, BUT EVERY TIME I STOP, IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEM. *TR

2013 200 LIMITED V6 THE BRAKES SQUEAL FROM WHAT HAS BEEN BLAMED ON CORROSION, THE FIRST IN MY 20+ CARS. THE DEALER DID A RESURFACING AND ADDED A SQUEAK TO THE SQUEALS. NOW AT 37K MILES I HAVE TO SUFFER TO WATCH PEDESTRIANS TURN AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT ALL THE NOISE IS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT LIGHTS. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHTS I NOW KNOW WHY THE ON-COMING CARS ARE ALWAYS FLASHING ME, THE LIGHTS ARE ANGLED UP TO COUNTER ACT THE ISSUE. ON THE UPSIDE, OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE DUMPED THIS HEAP, THE GAS MILEAGE IS GREAT ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY AND IT IS A GOOD RIDING VEHICLE FOR 23K NEW. *TR
