| 2011 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I FIRST GOT THE CHRYSLER 200M IN JUNE 2011. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASING I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE IT TURNED GREEN I TRIED TO GO THE CAR AND HAD NO GAS, NO BRAKES, AND I WAS UNABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME UNTIL I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. MY SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT TO TAKE A LEFT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO GO AND THEN I HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AGAIN; WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I LOST MY GAS, MY BRAKES, POWER STEERING, MY RADIO SHUT OFF, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO USE MY HAZARDS AGAIN. I HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND ONCE AGAIN RESTART IT FOR THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT STAYED FOR ONE WEEK; THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT GIVEN ME BACK THE VEHICLE AND REQUESTED THEY DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME TO RULE OUT OPERATOR ERROR. *TR |
| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 16-22 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CHANGING GEARS AS IT WAS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VERY DAY THEY PICKED THE VEHICLE UP, IT STALLED IN THE ENTRANCE WAY. THE DEALER CLAIMED, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. AS HER SON DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, HE NOTICED WHEN COASTING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD KICK BACK. THE MECHANIC STATED THE JERK/KICK WAS FROM THE ENGINE SHIFTING GEARS. THE KICKING WOULD GO AWAY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED. WHEN HER SON TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND THEN STRAIGHTENED IT OUT, BY TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. HE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. HE TRIED TO RE-START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TIGHT UNTIL IT WAS ABOUT TO START, BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY FOUND A CODE, BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO WITH THE PROBLEM, THAT WAS BEING EXPERIENCED. UPDATED 01/16/13 |
