| 2012 | STRUCTURE | EXCESSIVE "FISH TAILING" IN MINIMAL SNOWY CONDITIONS, VERY UNSTABLE, ABSOLUTE DEATH TRAP. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO END UP SMASHING INTO A PASSING CAR OR TRUCK . DROVE FOR 30 MILES PER HOUR FOR 260 MILES WHILE THERE WASN'T MORE THAN ONE INCH ON SNOW ON THE GROUND BECAUSE THE REAR END OF THE CAR WAS SWING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TERRIFIED. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AUGUST 2013 THUS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD NO ISSUES DRIVING ON DRY GROUND BUT ONLY IN SNOW AND WET CONDITIONS. *TR |
| 2013 | STEERING | I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 11/12, IT HAS 2810 MILES ON IT AND IS FALLING APART. I TOOK IN TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING AND THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE SCUFFED AND NOW THE RACK N PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ON TUESDAY. THE CAR SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS 300,000 MILES INSTEAD OF LESS THAN 3000. THE TAPPETS ARE RATTLING WHEN IT IDLES AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLAMS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THIS JUST STARTED WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM HAVING IT IN THE SHOP. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND WHEN THIS ONE IS PAID FOR IN 2015 I WILL GET TRADE IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE, IN MY OPINION. I HAD PLANNED ON GIVING IT TO MY SON BUT I DO NOT WISH HIM TO BE HURT IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT HAD MECHANICAL WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOT REPORTING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY DID LISTEN TO ME AND FIXED SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH PARTS THEY HAD IN STOCK, BUT HAD TO ORDER THE RACK N PINION AS TO REPLACE IT ON TUESDAY. I FEEL THESE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A CAR OWNER IS HURT OR KILLED. I WILL BE CONTACTING SOMEONE POSSIBLY THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION BOARD ABOUT THESE ISSUES SO THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED OR IT CAN BE NOTED AND KEPT ON FILE FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS. *TR |
