My power windows won't go up at times. When my driver side window rolls up then the passenger side window won't roll up and vice versa. When my passenger side window works fine the driver side window won't roll up. The electrical problem has caused my cigarette lighters and charger ports in my car to stop working! it happens whether sitting still or moving. The window wash that window cleaner comes out of keeps getting clogged.

My car quits on me while driving on the highway. Especially while slowing down. No warning lights or signs. This is very dangerous and scary! I took it to a Chrysler dealer they couldn't figure out what's wrong with it I've had this car since 2014. I always kept my car up. I don't understand what's wrong with it.

My Chrysler 200 has been turning off out of no where. No check engine light or anything turns on. My cars horn goes off randomly in the middle of driving and when put into park. I had 3 recalls and recently went to get them fixed thinking it would help, since one of the recalls was reprogramming the main module of the car. Still to this day it turns off on me. Just the other day I was in town making a turn and it stopped before I was able to complete the turn. It's also turned off on me many times when I'm driving in one direction. After it turns off I am able to re start it, and other times I have to wait several minutes before I'm able to get it turned back on.

2013 Chrysler 200 limited stalls out while driving. Started Sept. 2019, and has happen (eight times) almost monthly or every 500 miles. No warning- no power steering; no power brakes. After stalling- car cranks and can take up to 1-2 hrs before engine will turn over again. I have taken vehicle to four separate mechanics; including Chrysler dealership and not one has been able to diagnose problem. Also, car does not throw any codes. I have replaced the battery; fuel pump and had PCM update and vehicle still stalling out while driving.

At random my cars dies/stalls. I could be at a stop sign and the engine lose power shakes then dies. I could be driving in town cruising down main street at 25mph and my car engine will lose power shake then die while I'm still driving in motion. I could be driving on the free way with speeds at 70 mph and my car will just die, foot goes all the way in peddle when dead. You could feel no power in the car and it will roll out. Once the car is dead the power steering is out. It's very unsafe. I've been broken down for hours on the side of the road or minutes. I've been broken down in all 3 situations multiple times as stated above. The car shows no warning when it is going to die, no engine lights either, happens at random. Very unreliable and it tragic that I have to keep paying for a vehicle that does not perform like it should, I'm paying for a broken car. Dealership wants no part of it. I've got a recall letter, took it in and nothing was fix. They say it was the PCM but little did they know it was a brand new on. Already was updated. I feel nothing was dont to take care of the problem since the dealership had about 10 other people with recall letter. I'd really appreciate the help if any can be assisted

Over the last two months I've been dealing with something called a no crank no start as the people say. Basically you're car could start one minute and then you could cut the car off and it won't do anything it won't start or crank.

I was driving in the middle of the street when the car just shut off completely. The car stall I had to call the tow truck and the police for help because I couldn't even put my emergency lights on. I waited for 2 hours and suddenly the car went back on. The car like if nothing ever happened. It was scary luck that I wasn't on the freeway with my children at that time.

Tried to start my car and wouldn't start. I remote started my car with the key and it started right up. The car ran normal all the lights on dash lite up, radio was playing, air on everything seemed fine. Then I put the key in the ignition and it shut right off before I could even turn the key to the on position. The red security light flashes on the dash by the speedometer. Now the only way the car will start is if you remote start the car, unlock it and put key in ignition and turn to on position. But sometimes it still doesn't start that way either may have to try it a couple times. I need to figure out what is wrong with my car asap!!! I bought the car only 6 months ago from a used car dealership!!! please help!!!

Bought care used from the dealer 9 months ago and at approx. 52,000 miles the check engine light and traction control light came on while driving. The car decelerated to 30mph and lost all throttle control. Luckily I could pull over and get out of traffic and when I stopped the engine shuttered violently then cut off. This could have been fatal if it happened on the interstate. Had to restart the car over a dozen times to get it home. Finally got it to the shop and they have replace the throttle body and computer. Still at the shop and the issue is still not resolved. The bill is almost $600 and I don't have a working car. After doing research I see this is the same issue that happens to this car. Chrysler really needs to recall all of these cars and refund all money so we can buy a car that runs and will not potentially kill someone.

Something electrical is draining my battery. When I drive, the check engine light comes on, the ABS, traction, and brake light comes on while driving. When I'm idle nothing happens. When I'm on the highway it jerks and stalls a bit. I have to accelerate a lot to keep it going. I've had the battery replace 2 times in the past 3 months - brand new. It keep draining my battery. The alternator was fine. I took it to the dealership they told me they can't read it if the lights are not on. But it only comes on when I'm driving. The lights in the car, headlights, and radio all go out while I'm driving then back on. The headlights flicker. I'm about to need to have the battery replaced now a third time with no help from the dealership. My engine light is still on and and it drives rough and I smell gas when I'm driving. I just bought this car in August and I've had more issues with it than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I've only received 1 recall for the vehicle, I believe it should be thoroughly checked because it's too many issues for a car that's only 4 years old.
