| 2011 | SUSPENSION | LIVE IN MN. WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR ICY ROADS THE REAR END SWAYS BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH YOU FEEL LIKE THE CAR WILL SWAY SO FAR OUT OF CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST WINTER OWNED THE CAR I STARTED TO ACCELERATE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS SOME DRY TAR BUT ALSO NARROW STRIPS OF ICE HERE AND THERE BUT I COULD NOT EVEN GET MY SPEED UP 30 MPH WITHOUT THE BACK END OF THE CAR SWAYING SO HARD I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF CAUSING A WRECK. WE'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH OUR COMPLAINT BUT NO REMEDY FROM THEM. RIGHT NOW MY DAUGHTER AND HER FATHER ARE DRIVING THIS CAR FROM ILLINOIS (DEC 2013) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HIGHWAY IS WET AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT THE BACK END SWAYING HARD BACK AND FORTH. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SEE IF THEY CAN PROVIDE RESOLUTION. I'VE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE AND WISH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE DO NOT WANT TO OWN THIS ROAD HAZARD ANY LONGER. I DON'T WANT ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR SNOW ANYMORE. I'M TERRIFIED THIS VEHICLE WILL CAUSE THE DEATH OF SOMEONE!! *TR |
| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | ON 10/25/2013, WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE FROM THE PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SURGED IN REVERSE AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM SURGING IN REVERSE, THIS IS WITHOUT ACCELERATION. STOPPED THE CAR, PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND THE SURGING IN REVERSE STOPPED. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE CAR SURGED AGAIN, AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING FORWARD. PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE STOP LIGHT TURNED GREEN, TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN, AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED AGAIN. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 10/28/2013 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM STUDIED. THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE HAD A TSB 18-029-13 THAT WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF INVOLVING POWER TRAIN ISSUES WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY UPDATED PCM TRANS FLASH AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOW BE RESOLVED. WILL WAIT AND SEE IF THIS IS THE CASE. THE VEHICLE HAS 5,157 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED 07/22/2013. *TR |
