2013 Chrysler 200 Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken for the annual inspection, and DTC: P0420 associated with the catalytic converter was retrieved. The contact was informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who confirmed a failure with the catalytic converter. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The engine stalls abruptly while driving. At the time of this writing, it has luckily stopped when the car was at lower speeds like taking a turn, in a school pickup line, idling at the traffic light. The dashboard does not flash any warning lights and the engine just shuts off abruptly. We then switch the transmission back into parking, switch the A/C off and then start the car by turning the key as usual - it starts very fine and in the first go. This has been happening since last 2 months, upon servicing the car last month the service center noted that lower A/C freon levels were causing massive strain on the A/C compressor forwarding an excessive load to the engine causing stalling to occur. However, even after restoring the freon levels the engine stalling issue still persist. A second round of extensive day-long diagnostics run by the same service station this month did not reveal any problem or root causes and we were left with no resolution. This creates a critical safety hazard for our family and general public.

The car randomly stalls while I am driving it. I lose all power to the car and the RPM's go to zero. I have to jiggle the fuse box and turn the key to the on position until I hear the fuel pump kick on, then I can start the car. I can tell when the car will stall on me when the RPM's fluctuate and the car stutters. My safety is put at risk to me and to other people because my car loses power while I am driving it. I lost power to the car four times this morning alone and almost got smashed by a 5th wheel truck. I have lost power on the freeway while my children were in the car with me. My husband is a mechanic and he thinks it is the fuse box that needs to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and stalled. The vehicle failed to restart. The oil warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic for multiple undisclosed failures; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then inspected by another independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the failure was related to the NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V552000 (Engine). The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was included in an unrelated recall. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The car was losing power while being driven. It was towed to the dealership. Mechanic stated the engine was leaking oil and something is loose inside the engine. My only option would be to replace the engine.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a local dealer to have the catalytic convertor replaced under an emissions recall notice.

The contact made the dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000. The VIN was not available.

My son was driving his car which is a 2013 Chrysler 200 when the engine suddenly began to knock loudly and then the car shut off in traffic. There were no breaks or steering which nearly resulted in my son having an accident. He was able to get the car pulled to the side. Then we had the car towed to the shop. The mechanics said the dipstick showed no and that the knock was the result of an engine failure due to no oil in the oil pan. There was excessive debris in the small amount of oil that remained in the oil pan. The mechanic said that the debris came from bearings that have worn away. The engine is not repairable. It was noted that there was a recall on 2013 Chrysler 200 vehicles for this very same problem. However the recall for some reason excluded this specific car. Apparently the recall did not go far enough to cover all the cars affected.

My car's check engine light came on. I took the car to my personal mechanic because it is out of warranty. My mechanic told me that I had a service bulletin issued for the problem I am having, which is cylinder #4 misfire. The service bulletin is 09-002-14 Rev B. It extends the warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. I was told by the dealer and Chrysler Customer Care that my vehicle was not part of this service bulletin, even though I am experiencing the same issue as the other Chrysler 200s that are. I believe my car should be covered under this bulletin especially since Chrylser knew this problem existed since 2014, right after I bought my vehicle, 7/2013. I should have been informed at the time. The service bulletin does not exclude any vehicle. It says Models, not specific models. This repair will cost me over $3,000 and I believe Chrysler should uphold the service bulletin and fix my car. I talked to one customer service representative and that person didn't understand why my car wasn't covered but never called me back like she said she would. I called again and was told my car was not part of this service bulletin. All Chrysler 200s should be part of this service bulletin if they experience the same issue as others.

Everyone single one of these issues as stated on the websites (carcomplaints.com and chryslerproblems.com) and in other's complaints has happened since the day after I bought is from a so-called dealership (road side flip shop) in January 2022. As stated "There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem." The engine just turns off and the gas pedal hits the floor not allowing acceleration. "In addition to the engine stalling, the power steering and brake assist shuts down." "It doesn’t trigger any error codes for an OBD-II reader, meaning technicians won’t be able to diagnose the problem Once the car is disabled, there are varying reports about being able to restart the engine. Some say the car will restart right away like nothing ever happened, while others say they've been left on the side of the road waiting for their ignition to respond." This has happened on a nearly weekly basis since purchasing, sometimes multiple times in the week. Absolutely NO warning signs, the engine just shuts off. It has randomly died at stop signs, red lights, in intersections and on the highway in high speed traffic. Once while my elder mother was driving to pick me up from the airport and other times while my significant other was in the car driving he's 5 yr old daughter home from school, the latest one this previous evening and he reported to me that 2 cars had to quickly veering around them at the last second. It was absolutely terrifying for him with his child in the car. After multiple visits to mechanics for the issue 2 diagnostic tests with no codes and no code history, and a fuel pump replacement that did nothing and numerous roadside calls .One mechanic was kind enough to state the vehicle has recalls for stalling issues and gave screen shots from his end. I called the number on the recall notices for Chrysler directly and was rudely informed that there were not "active" recalls on the car and that the previous ones, N52 and N02 are void

My vehicle turns off like out of no where has done this three times also some oil is getting in the coolant take and when driving has a weird smell like gas or something

The car engine periodically loses power. My mechanic did a diagnostics and said the problem is with the Throttle Control Actuator, the code is P2173. Although my car is not included in the recall, my Mechanic is sure it is a default issue by Chrysler. I am experiencing the same malfunctioning problems as other Chryslers that were being recalled for engine losing power. This has happened while driving on the expressway, I had to put on my caution light and pray until I could get to my Mechanic's shop. I informed Chrysler about this and I kept getting the runaround. This car only has 36,000 miles on it, even though it's a 2013; my Mother owned this car before me and we both take very good care of all the maintenance for the car. The safety problem is that this issue can happen anytime without warning and I am afraid to even drive the car especially on the highway or expressway, but it is unavoidable at times.
