Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)without any warning the car stopped on a busy highway transmission fluid all over the place
Coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign card jerks starters then shuts down. Almost got in an accident two or three times because of this safety situation I am having with the drivetrain and the engine stall. This happens all the time from the time I purchased the vehicle.
Everything was fine I get my oil changed regularly, I get fluid top offs, I keep it well maintained. The other day while driving on the freeway my car slowly started to die out, the rpm was hitting at 4-5 but my speed was only 30 mph. This is my only vehicle I'm my mother's soul provider, taking her to after chemo check ups, to her liver doctor appointments. I was told this car has this problem alot. I was hoping something could be done to help me out..
The vehicle shuts off while driving at any given time. It started about 4 months ago while I was on the freeway in the fast lane. No warning lights or sounds came on. I costed over to the left shoulder because it was rush hour. When I tried to restart it, it sounded like it was stalling and I couldn't jump it either. It was like the engine got hot even though the gauge didn't say it was. After I let it set for about 30 minutes it started right back up. I thought it was a one time thing, but it's been doing it a lot more and I've had to sit and wait for longer periods of time. I searched online and found the symptoms of what it's doing and it appears there was a recall and investigation about the issue. If I remember correctly there was over 13,000 vehicles recalled for the powertrain module or something like that but when I searched my vehicle it says no recall.
As I was driving down a slight slope while braking to try to come to a stop, the car died / shut off. Within the few seconds that I was trying to slow to a stop, the brakes stopped working, various lights turned on the Dash (I can't remember which), and then the car shut off entirely. If there was a car or something in front of me, I would not have been able to stop because the brakes weren't working. This problem has been reported numerous times through various online forums/sites. There was no warning, message, or other symptom to indicate this would happen. This car also has stalling issues that has been complained of by other Chrysler 200 owners as well. Both stalling and shutting off poses a serious concern to all drivers.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to upshift out of the first gear. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was awaiting diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
car continues to stall, new pcm, new tpim, new throttle body, new fuel pump. No check engine lights, stalls when coming to stop or heavy acceleration. HUGE SAFTETY concern.
Car shuts off randomly while driving and will not start back right away
My 2013 Chrysler 200 has stalled or shut off completely while driving. The steering wheel and brakes lock up and the car just stops running. There are never any warnings or lights ahead of time to indicate there is any problem. The car simply just shuts off while driving and will not start back up right away. After sitting for about an hour untouched, the car will start right up and run fine until it happens again. No mechanic can diagnose it because there are no lights or codes to run to say what the issue is. My third time this happened, I was in a busy intersection attempting to make a turn and was almost t-boned when my car couldn't move out of the intersection. After the car shuts down and I attempt to restart right away, all the lights on the dash light up, but none stay on once the car stops cranking or even when the car does actually start up again. This is very dangerous for myself and any one else I may have in my car with me. I am a mother and I do not feel safe ever having my kids in my car with me. I've read online that this has happened to so many others but no recall will ever be done to fix this issue.
CHYRLSER 200 4CYL SEDAN. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DOESN'T SHIFT TO THE PROPER GEAR. THE RPMS WOULD BE BETWEEN 6000-7000 AND COULDN'T GET OVER 60 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED UP THE SECOND TIME WITH A CODE P0882 TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE.
Car is not picking up speed when your in drive, jerks badly, cuts off in the middle of driving, keeps killing the battery, drives about 5 miles an hr the max. Car has been at the chrysler dealership for over 6 months and it is still not fixed. They are saying that it's still doing the same thing as when I brought it in. Nothing is being Done to resolve the issues
MY CHRYSLER 200 HAS BEEN TURNING OFF OUT OF NO WHERE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING TURNS ON. MY CARS HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHEN PUT INTO PARK. I HAD 3 RECALLS AND RECENTLY WENT TO GET THEM FIXED THINKING IT WOULD HELP , SINCE ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS REPROGRAMMING THE MAIN MODULE OF THE CAR. STILL TO THIS DAY IT TURNS OFF ON ME. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN TOWN MAKING A TURN AND IT STOPPED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. IT'S ALSO TURNED OFF ON ME MANY TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IN ONE DIRECTION. AFTER IT TURNS OFF I AM ABLE TO RE START IT, AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE I'M ABLE TO GET IT TURNED BACK ON.
AT RANDOM MY CARS DIES/STALLS. I COULD BE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE LOSE POWER SHAKES THEN DIES. I COULD BE DRIVING IN TOWN CRUISING DOWN MAIN STREET AT 25MPH AND MY CAR ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER SHAKE THEN DIE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING IN MOTION. I COULD BE DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY WITH SPEEDS AT 70 MPH AND MY CAR WILL JUST DIE, FOOT GOES ALL THE WAY IN PEDDLE WHEN DEAD. YOU COULD FEEL NO POWER IN THE CAR AND IT WILL ROLL OUT. ONCE THE CAR IS DEAD THE POWER STEERING IS OUT. IT'S VERY UNSAFE. I'VE BEEN BROKEN DOWN FOR HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR MINUTES. I'VE BEEN BROKEN DOWN IN ALL 3 SITUATIONS MULTIPLE TIMES AS STATED ABOVE. THE CAR SHOWS NO WARNING WHEN IT IS GOING TO DIE, NO ENGINE LIGHTS EITHER, HAPPENS AT RANDOM. VERY UNRELIABLE AND IT TRAGIC THAT I HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT PERFORM LIKE IT SHOULD, I'M PAYING FOR A BROKEN CAR. DEALERSHIP WANTS NO PART OF IT. I'VE GOT A RECALL LETTER, TOOK IT IN AND NOTHING WAS FIX. THEY SAY IT WAS THE PCM BUT LITTLE DID THEY KNOW IT WAS A BRAND NEW ON. ALREADY WAS UPDATED. I FEEL NOTHING WAS DONT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAD ABOUT 10 OTHER PEOPLE WITH RECALL LETTER. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP IF ANY CAN BE ASSISTED
