| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A DEFECTIVE CODE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STALLING WOULD OCCUR SPORADICALLY AND THE CONTACT HAD ENCOUNTERED THE FAILURE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,016. |
| 2011 | ENGINE | THE CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED. THE ENGINE FADES SLOWLY AWAY AND THEN COMPLETELY TURNS ITSELF OFF. THIS ENTIRE ENGINE FAILING PROCESS LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 SECONDS. THIS ENGINE FAILURE POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR A RESOLUTION OF IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT MUCH CLOSER AND IN-DEPTH, SINCE FURTHER DELAYS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. I PLEAD THAT CHRYSLER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COMMENCE A RECALL PROGRAM OF THE CHRYSLER 200 MODEL. I'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE FAILING 4 TIMES ALREADY. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT AT THEIR SHOP FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY DID NOT OFFER/GIVE A FREE RENTAL CAR FOR ME. THIS CAR IS UNDER 1 YEAR OLD. PRIOR TO CHRYSLER I ONLY OWNED FOREIGN CARS BECAUSE OF THE PERCEIVED NOTION THAT AMERICAN MADE CARS ARE NOT RELIABLE. I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A CHANCE AND WANTED TO BUY AMERICAN, SO I GOT THE CHRYSLER 200. SO FAR THAT DECISION HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG MISTAKE (UNLESS CHRYSLER OFFERS A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM). I DON'T WANT TO LOSE FAITH IN THE AMERICAN CAR COMPANY AND HOPE THAT THEY DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR |
