2014 Chrysler 200

My vehicle has an open safety recall related to defective headrests. The dealership never contacted me to perform the recall repair, and the headrests were never replaced. Mopar issued an extended warranty for this defect, but the dealership is now refusing coverage claiming it expired. The defect is now occurring, creating a safety risk, and the recall remedy was never completed through no fault of my own.

the automobile will shut down when driving uncommanded, when it does this you lose power steering and braking and sometimes locks the steering wheel. the horn sounds uncommanded randomly. the windshield wipers will intermittently not work. have researched the problem and have found this issue is common, with this year and make of vehicle. i have contacted the manufacturer and they have been no help. they state they know there is an issue but they do not have parts to fix the issue. when it shuts down you do not get any lights or notice on the dashboard. this puts the driver and passengers at risk and other drivers. the manufacturer stated on the phone its basically my problem and since they do not have parts to repair it i'm on my own, on finding the part, most likely refurbished

The car would slow down out of no where there time when the car doesn’t go over 5 miles per hours and throws it self in park some times my door wouldn’t open with the bottons can’t open my truck

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled on several occasions. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While driving this vehicle the car would shut down while driving, no ability to brake, to steer. The car would start back up, but the same issues would happen, making it extremely dangerous to drive. This happened on several different occasions. One of my issues with this problem is that Chrysler had the same issue with the 2015 Chrysler 200 and the 2015 was recalled. If you look at sites other than Chrysler, customers had reported the same problem with the 2014 and it looks like Chrysler just swept it under the rug. The dealership is saying that the TIPM system needs to be replaced on my car, for a cost of $3000.00 for a know problem.

The contact owns 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle was shuddering and chugging. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle became undrivable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The mechanic related the failure to an unknown recall. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was restricted. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

The steering wheel has become harder to steer i.e., some resistance can be felt during steering. Also, at a certain angle it makes a hissing sound as if gas is being leaked from a pipe.

Both the driver and passaged (front seat) head rests have deployed. When looking inside them (parts are exposed since they have pooped and stayed open in a projected position) broken pieces are visible. Therefore, the headrests cannot be popped back into their proper position. This is extremely dangerous because the headrests could have deployed while we were driving. Also, the headrests no longer serve their purpose of providing safety to people riding in the front seat. There was no car accident or hit from the back. The headrests deployed (popped open like an air bag and cannot be closed) on their own. Many Chrysler 200 owners have complained about this safety issue. Chrysler should do something to help us consumers. I’m disappointed.

A couple of years ago my passenger head restraint deployed while parked and would not reset. I was charged $652.00 to re place. Chrysler later reimbursed me for this expense and extended my warranty for this for one year. Two days ago the driver side activated while the car was parked. That means the warrant extension had passed. Did some research and this is a common problem caused by the weakening of the plastic that is under pressure of the retaining springs. This problem not only affects the Chrysler 200, but 300s and several keep and Dodge vehicles manufactured between 2010 and 2015. It is just by the grace of God no one has been injured. Mileage was 78000 the first time and 106500 the second time

Head restraint deployed and seatbelt malfunction.

Traction control and power train light on dashboard, are blinking and the car itself will not accerlerate. This is the 2nd time in 3 months it has happened.

Transmission FAIL check engine light went on. Car was not accellorating, bucking can't drive over 30 MGH. Thank god I was drving a back street when it happened and not the Mass Pike. Two estimates done. They both said replace the transmission. WHAT ??? Burnt transmission fluid at 77,400 miles. Three Diagnostic Errors P0128 P0734 P1790 . I have to REPLACE my transmission at a cost of $5,000 This is not supppose to happen at 77,400 . Please advise and recall or concessions available.

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH on the highway, the vehicle stalled, and the vehicle turned off independently. The contact was able to coast over to the right side of the road, and attempted to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle started as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to AAA where it was diagnosed and determined that the totally integrated power module (TIPM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the horn was connected to the module. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

The passenger headrest deployed without being in a crash. The car was parked. This could have caused injury if my passenger had her head rested. It also could have caused an accident if this happened while driving as it sounded like a gun shot or loud crash. No warnings went off.

Horn didn’t work and car stalled in the middle of highway. Part (clock spring)inside horn was replaced but horn still went off by itself or didn’t work. Entire fuse box ( integrated power module)that controlled horn replaced to solve problem. It has been determined that this was also cause of car stalling out.

Passengers headrest exploded spontaneously. I noticed this morning leaving my house heading to work as I was driving down my street a rattling noise and looked over to see the head rest had ejected! Thankfully I didn't have any passenger's in my car! I have no warning lamps other than low tire notification that refuses to go away after taking my car several times to make sure the tires are properly inflated and a check engine light that ofcourse came on today. I'm home and searched how to fix it and came across an article stating that I need to report this. I don't have any files. Just a pic of the headrest, current milage and notification lights. We purchased this car a couple short months ago (5/02/2022)

The vehicle stalled out while driving on the interstate. No warnings and no engine lights came on. We were slowing down to a stop because of construction. The car is available if inspection is requested. I had the fuel system serviced with fuel pump replaced. It is unknown if the mechanic was able to confirm the stall out. I picked the vehicle up today and it seemed to run smoothly, then it stalled out driving thru an intersection without warning.

Vehicle was at detail shop - parked. Employee moved seat to access back and drivers side head rest deployed. There was no collision. Unable to reset, as part is broken. Appears to be a major safety concern which could lead to an accident. I will be attempting to address this issue quickly as it represents a major safety problem. It is available for inspection for now. Had this happened while driving I believe an accident would have resulted. I will be contacting the dealer and an independent shop on Monday. At this time it has not been inspected by anyone official. No warning signs were noted.
