The first time this incident occured I was driving in a residential neighborhood and my horn started randomly honking. Over the past few months the horn will randomly start honking and will continously honk for long periods of time. The horn will blast for miles and there is nothing that I can do to make it stop. I have been pulled over because of this and it's terrible driving at night with the horn blaring. The horn does not work regularly anymore. Then my car started shutting off while driving with no warning lights and total loss of anything that is powered (steering, brakes, etc). I have had to pull over on the freeway in unsafe areas, stuck in the middle of intersections with kids in the car also. After shutting off sometimes I am able to start it right away and it will be fine and other times it wont start and after some period of time it will finally start. I replaced the battery and got a new key fob but neither one has fixed these issues. On top of the random horn blaring and car completely shutting off while driving I now have begun having issues with my transmission. It started randomly not shifting while driving causing me to have to pull over and restart the car after about 5 mins. I have had to pull off the freeway to restart my car. The transmission issue was random at first but I haven't been able to drive my car at all because it will NOT shift after 10 MPH. It is automatic with manual option (which I never use) but it will not shift gears in auto mode or manual. The horn blaring is not only embarrassing but the loudness of it is detrimental to a persons hearing. I have read many reports of this particular car having these same issues and the fact that it completey shuts off without warning and loss of power steering, brakes is extremely dangerous especially when traveling on freeways/highways at 70MPH not only for me and my children but the other drivers around me. I have not had it diagnosed or repaired by a mechanic due to the transmission issue.

At first the car started making chirping sound on the right side when ever the car idles. One day I was driving and it shut down while I was driving and the check engine light and electrical light came on, i finance the car and they do the repairs under warranty no electrical repairs. They did repairs to the engine they claim and the problem still persists when the engine shuts off while I-??m driving. the brakes lock up and the steering wheel locks up. And you can-??t change the gears to park the car. I literally drive with my hand on the emergency break out of anxiety, after it shuts off, the odometer and rpm meter both drop at the same time when it occurs, and after waiting for it to come back on the rpm struggles to go over the -??1-?? I have to wait 20mins for the car to start back up every time. I got the car 03/25/2021 @ 130,800 miles. The car isn-??t even at 150,000 miles meaning It-??s only driven about 20k miles and this is happening & apparently only had 1 other owner. Not sure how true it is. hI-??ve already fixed the suspension issues on the car 670$. The engine repairs were under warranty I want to say over 3k in repairs they claim, the picture I-??ve added is of the check engine light it goes away the next day I-??ve only been driving the car when I need to so I don-??t cause a bigger problem. Hope you can help. Thank u

I have been tiwed twice a D stuck on side of the road 4 times. I'll be driving along when everything just quits. Engine, power steering and power brakes. One time I was just about to get on a highway. Couldn't get car 100% off road. Very dangerous. When I try to restart car it trys to start. I let go of key and cajr just keeps trying to start. After being towed twice car started right up. So when it quits I give it about 10-15 minutes and it starts. Googled and people having same problem. Upon investigating I found that Chrysler, Jeep has been having this problem since 2011 and did a recall on the 2015S. If they know there is a problem, why aren't they fixing it??

The car randomly loses power along with the power steering and cuts off. I could be driving for 30 mins and it'll be just fine then out of no where it may cut off at stop light, while I'm decelerating or even trying to gas up. It has cut off numerous times on the highway without any warning or light and I'll only know by the sudden loss of power steering or noticing the RPM gauge dropping to 0. sometimes it'll start up just fine right afterwards like nothing happened and sometimes it'll take a minute or two to start up. It may start a right back up then cut right back off or it may start up and be fine until the next day. Sometimes it only starts back up when I disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few seconds.

I only have heat on the drivers side of the car. We just hit our 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty. Had the car in the shop twice with coolant smells. Mechanics never found a problem. Everywhere I read there are tons of complaints about this issue. This is a $1000 repair! a flush is $150-170. We have already done this. I'm ready to trade it in but I do love my car. Not sure about how I feel about Chrysler knowing about a issue and not offering assistance with the repair. Maybe they better send out a massive rebate to old owners in hopes of them staying a customer.

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.

I bought my car brand new in 2012 from chryaler Dodge and Jeep in springfield pa. I babe around 96,000 miles on my car and this will now be the third alternator that has been put in my vehicle. From what I know, the alternator should last up between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. I believe there has to have been a defect with my specific car. Along with some of the other recall items I am now reading about with my model, having kids, I am increasingly concerned about my health and saftey driving this vehicle. I want to know what can be done about this on your end

No heat on passenger side of vehicle, blows cold air. However, there is heat on driver's side. I took it to dealership broke heater door/actuator. I get to the part that needs repair I was given a quote of $650 to remove dashboard- labor cost., repair/replace cost is not part of the $650. Reviews show there have been numerous complaint with this same problem for 2012 200 Chrysler. It 's a safety issue because passenger side windshield does not defrost because of cold air being blown out... doesn't clear the windshield in cold weather nor does it keep windshield clear in rainy weather. Why hasn't a mandatory recall been issued to to manufacturer to correct/replace part. Car has approximately 75,000 miles. Blows cold air both when stationary and while in motion on all, road ways, all the time no matter if I am turning, braking or driving straight --- no heat on passenger side.
