Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)CAR DELIVERED AND PURCHASED FROM MCCLUSKY CHEVROLET, [email protected], CINCINNATI, OH TO FARRAGUT, TN ON 02/25/2020 IN EXCELLENT DRIVEABILITY CONDITION. CAR PERFOMANCE WAS EXCELLENT, DRIVEN DAILY UNTIL 03/03/2020 AND ALWAYS RETURNED TO HOME GARAGE. WHEN STARTED THE MORNING OF 03/04/2020, THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RACED TO 4000 RPM IN NEUTRAL. TAPPING THE BRAKE LOWERED THE IDLE TO 1200 RPM, NOT THE NORMAL 850 (APPROXIMATE). I BACKED THE OUT OF THE GARAGE UPHILL INTO THE STREET. WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE THE MOMENT OF STARTING ACCELERATION THE CAR GENTLY ACCELERATE ITSELF WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN 1/4 MILE. TAPPING THE BRAKE STOPPED THE ACCELERATION AND THE CAR THROTTLE RETURNED TO ABOUT 1200 RPM. AFTER BRAKING TO A STOP, I STARTED TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. WITH MULTIPLE BRAKES TAPS, I RETURNED THE CAR INTO THE DRIVE WAY. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE RPM AGAIN RACED TO 4000. TAPPING THE BRAKE RETURNED THE RPM TO 1200, SIMILAR TO A CRUISE CONTROL RETURN. IN ALL CASES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT TURNED ON AND CYCLING THE CRUISE BUTTON ON AND OFF HAD NO EFFECT. CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT BE INVOLVED. I DID AN ACCUTRON CODE READ AND NO CODES RETURNED. NO ATTEMPT TO TRY TO FIX OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. CAR NEEDS TO BE ANALYZED BY NHTSA, NOT JUST REPAIRED. IT IS HAZARDOUS. I USED TO TEACH PHYSICS AND HAVE PERFORMED MOST MAJOR CAR REPAIRS SINCE 1960. I WISH TO KEEP THIS CHRYSLER 200 S RETRACTABLE CONVERTIBLE. IT WILL STAY IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL ANALYZED BY NHTSA.
SMELLED GAS WHEN PARKED AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 3 MILES. CALLED MECHANIC WHO SAID SAFE TO DRIVE 4 MILES TO GARAGE. HE FOUND A CRACK IN TOP OF FUEL PUMP THAT WAS SPRAYING FUEL TO BOTTOM OF BACK SEAT WHERE MY 11 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS RIDING. MECHANIC THEN SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOWED IN. HE THEN SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN A FUEL PUMP CRACKED LIKE THAT SO I'M REPORTING IT. AT THAT POINT MECHANIC SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS IF REAR-ENDED. $856.00 READY WED.
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP TWICE, THE SEAL BEHIND THE GAS CAP AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH, CUTTING OUT AND JERKING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.
