The heater on the passenger side of the car is not heating up and blows very cold air making it hard to defrost the window to see when driving
- Pflugerville, TX, USA
Passenger side pushes out cold air, terrible to drive in and uncomfortable. Battery has been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years. Alternator as well. While driving to work, my windshield frosted over from being so cold and I had to veer off the road to avoid getting into an accident.

Engine light came on, had battery replaced since the battery was about 6 years old. Car has only 29582 miles on it. Seemed to fix then while driving 3 miles later battery light came on again. Decided to take to dealer the mext morning. Then while driving to dealership the car began to rapidly lose functionality while warning lights were appearing on the dashboardone by one until it car lost power while driving. The time from no warning lights to complete loss of electrical functionality was approximately 2 minutes. The shut down included an abrupt loss of power steering and braking capabilities while driving on a busy street during day. I was able to quickly compensate for the loss of power steering and braking and stop the vehicle while drifting into a gas station parking lot. Attempts to restart the vehicle involved no clicking or the engine attempting to turn over. Had car towed to dealership. I can only assume ot may be the alternator since battery is brand new now. I am wondering if this is part of campaign #17V-435 but my car is a Chrysler 200 3.6 engine 6 cylinder touring convertible and that recall does not show 200's on the notice. I have not gotten any recall noticies for this type of problem.. I bought car brand new. I am the only owner and faithfully take my car to the dealer for maintenance and oil changes.

My 2012 Chrysler 200 hard top convertible top will not go up or down. It was in a stationary position when I tried to put the top down and it would not go down. It has been broken since June 4,2017. The part number to replace it is 68028392aa. This part has been discontinued and therefore I am unable to put my top up and down. I have tried to work with the local dealer and have even contacted fca (Chrysler administration). To date I have not been able to get any results. Can you please help? thank you.

Engine shuts off on highway going full speed limit surrounded by heavy traffic. I was terrified. The engine light comes on & can't get car started. Then car starts & engine light goes away. Not to mention transmission is leaking & new transmission was put in 2015. Chrysler can't get me in until 4/19/18 bc its busy season. This may be why windshield wipers come on everytime I turn left.

Vehicle shuts off while driving. This happened 3 times in less than 3 years. Driving vehicle and instrument panel lights up and vehicle shuts down. 1st time - July 2015, this happened coming into a roundabout - lost all power including steering and brakes. Was lucky enough that no other vehicles were around. Dealer replaced tipm. Same thing happened less than 1 year later (April 2016). In a parking lot and vehicle just shut off. Dealer replaced tipm again stating part failure - under warranty since was less than 1 year since replacement. Now less than 2 years later on 12/26/17 vehicle shut off while driving 70mph on the highway! was lucky enough to be on 2 lane highway instead of 4 and able to get to the side of the road. Took to dealer that purchased from (happened closer to that dealer than the one that previously had fixed). Explained situation, that part was replaced before same thing happening. They said nothing wrong, couldnt find anything and sent me on my way - drove back roads because I was afraid to drive. Not even 30 miles later and same thing happened. Shut down while driving. Able to restart vehicle every time. Took to dealer that had fixed in the past. Tipm failure again! this is 3 times that the part has failed. Covered under warranty again - they said part warranty had been extended from 1 to 2 years. This is a known problem and definately a safety hazard!! I got the car fixed and traded it in the day I got it back! 3rd failure was at 113K miles. Car purchased brand new in 2012.

The convertible top motor is broken and the top will not go up or down. Luckily it is broken in the up position. I have been trying to get the part replaced through Chrysler and all they can tell me is that the part has been discontinued and no after market parts are even available. I bought this car in October 2016, because L wanted a convertible and now I have been without a working top since June 4,2017. I was parked in my driveway when L tried to put the top down and it would not work. I have been told by the Chrysler dealership that the part number needed to fix this problem is #68028392aa.
