Car was in motion leaving a shopping area, turning right and accelerating onto a 4 lane highway. As 45 mph was achieved, the car decelerated and stalled. The check engine light and the electronic throttle control light came on. I looked up the etc information and read I may be able to try again to drive the car. I did try and rolled on the shoulder for about 1/4 mile before having to accelerate though an intersection. At that point, car repeated the above failure and stalled. I was able to make a right turn and coast into a parking lot. The car was towed. While waiting on the tow, I read several reports of the same issue occurring in this model vehicle, often while driving on the interstate or in other dangerous locations like an intersection. This failure happened with no warning - no sputtering, hesitation or warning lights until the failure occurred. This failure could result in serious injury or death. It looks to me to be a known issue and should be subject to recall.

Takata recall, ABS and traction light are on they make a funny noise when I first start the car and start driving. But after I go so far or to 25mph, my lights come on and I brake just fine. I also have a issue with my turn signals, if my headlights are off my front left turning sognal works but if my headlights are on my front left turning signal does not work.

After owning my car for only a few months the check engine light came on and a minute later the electronic throttle control light and then the electronic stability control light. After taking my car to kendall Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram 5 times, an independent auto shop once and another visit to the dealership where the car was purchased my car is still having issues shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd. At least that's what the auto shop told me the problem is, with the transmission. I hit the gas and the car clunkers and jerks like a manual car when I'm just lightly pressing on the gas. The car doesn't even have 52,000 miles. I've had it less than a year and half the time it's been in and out of repair shops.

"takada recall" while driving down the road at 40 mph. I heard a chime and looked down at my instrument panel. The ABS and the electronic stability control was on. Light was on for both. But instead of the ESC it was the little car with wavy, jiggly lines under it. These two lights have been on constant for a good 3 weeks. It has gone out while driving a few times for a few minutes just to come back on and stay on almost all the time. There is no flashing of the lights. I don't drive every day. I drive around 5 times a week and short distances of 2 to 4 miles for the most part. There is also a whistling nice coming from the front of the vehicle. I don't think it is very safe to drive since the brakes and traction of the car are all to important part of me and my families safety. Please help with this issue. I paid and am still paying a lot for this car that now has 62000. Miles on it.

While driving down the road the etc light came on and the traction light came on and the car will not accelerate. I was able to park the car and when I restarted it that was a very rough idle and the check engine light the etc light and the traction light are all on.

Takata recall: There is a problem with the electronic throttle control light that causes the car to decelerate randomly, in combination with a ticking sound that comes from the air bag area of the glove box that is exacerbated by the ac and the heat being turned on. I feel that the car is unsafe to drive, although it says there is no open recall on these components. This happened several times to me on the expressway today.

2012 Chrysler 200 shut off while driving (slowing down coming to a stop sign) with no warning. All power was gone. This happened in July of 2015 and tipm was replaced under extended warranty. Told another faulty tipm and was replaced under part warranty with no cost to me. Any time a vehicle shuts off without warning while driving is extremely hazardous! first time vehicle had approx 65,000 miles. This time approx 80K

"takata recall" the issue is in the electrical warning system. The warning indicates air bag. Air bag light is on and has stayed on continues to stay on. It does not flash it just stays on. On the start of the vehicle once the ignition switch is turned on and the car is running. It continues to stay on while vehicle turned on and running. I believe it may be a recall with the modular.

2 weeks ago ABS and ESC light are on all the time when engine running, after I test the car they find ABS module-ESC module need to be replaced, how is this possible car have only 21.500 miles, cost is:$760 dollars, care have expired warranty in March this year, and 18 more months power train warranty, I call Chrysler, they say I need to pay because car have no basic warranty anymore, that is not right, so now I driving without ABS even if I have money I am just scared that same ABS module going to be bad after 2-3 years and I need to replace again,
