| 2012 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | SINCE NEW, THIS VEHICLE HAS POOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, THAT SEEM TO BE DIRECTED DOWNWARD, MAKING NIGHT DRIVING OVER 50 MPH HAZARDOUS. AT TIMES, I MUST RELY ON THE HEADLIGHTS OF OTHER CARS TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. AFTER OWNING THIS CAR ONE YEAR, I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS ANY LONGER. THE DEALER AT FIRST SAID THEY COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED, BUT IS NOW WILLING TO CHECK THEM AT A FUTURE APPOINTMENT. I FOUND ADJUSTMENTS ABOVE EACH HEADLIGHT, ENGRAVED "UP AND DOWN." A SPECIAL TOOL IS NEEDED TO PERFORM THIS ADJUSTMENT. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AS CASE # [XXX]. I HAVE OWNED OVER TWENTY CARS AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WITH POOR LOW BEAMS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
| 2011 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | 2011 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE STARTED THE ENGINE TO PULL FORWARD TO GET GAS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD, SO HE PUSHED THE PEDAL ABOUT THREE MORE TIMES TO THE FLOOR WHILE HE ROLLED TO THE PUMP BYPASS LANE, TURNED PARALLEL TO THE CURB WHICH SEPARATED THE STATION BYPASS LANE FROM THE US HIGHWAY AND STOPPED WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AS SOON AS HE STOPPED, HE PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND THEN ENGINE STALLED. THE CONSUMER RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND FELT THE PEDAL COME BACK UP. AFTER TESTING IT SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. IN LATE NOVEMBER 2012, AS THE CONSUMER HEADED OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR TWICE. HE QUICKLY STOPPED WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, LEANED TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND SAW THE LEFT END OF THE PEDAL PROTRUDING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS RIGHT SHOE AND THE PEDAL WAS ON THE FLOOR. ALSO, THE ENGINE HAD STALLED, WHEN HE TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, IT STALLED AGAIN. HE MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO START IT AGAIN, AT THAT POINT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT BACK TO NORMAL. |
