For the past three months my car shuts off while driving for no reason without warning. Some times even when I am at a stop waiting for light to change while trying to accelerate to go it just shuts off and have to wait for some time to try to start it again. This problem started around May of 2023 and I have not found a solution. Replaced fuel pump based on a article I read on line, but problem continued as of today 11-23-2024

After starting the vehicle and going from reverse to drive the vehicle stalls out. After the initial stall and traveling a few miles, while stopping at a traffic signal the vehicle stalls out again and more times than not can accelerate at a speed higher than prompted. This is a frequent occurrence and other owners of the same make model and year that I have spoken with have the same issue.

Purchased car 8/03/21. Got full possession of car 8/18/21. The car shuts off while driving and backing up with no warning. It shuts off when you press on the brakes. When you come to a complete stop and then press on the accelerator, the car hesitates to move, then moves very slowly, jerks then starts to move at a normal pace. Engine light comes on continuously.

On 9/3/21 my car stalled twice while driving, no warning, no lights, then it restarted on it's own. I was in the middle of a turn with other cars approaching my car, could have gotten hit by another car. Unable to steer and horn with a low beep. On 9/4/21 St 7:30am while driving to take car to get checked out I thought I saw a spark where aux cable was inserted, I unplugged the cable, no burning smell or any other things seen.

Vehicle died while driving 40-45 mph in traffic would not restart until after sitting for 30 min to 2 hours. There was no warning before it died, it was running normally. After it restarted the service engine light flashed then stayed on solid for a couple days. I was told it was the crankshft position sensor so I had that replaced. The car then 3 weeks later while driving started chugging really bad. I was then told the ignition coil on #2 cylinder was misfiring. I had that replaced along with all spark plugs and car ran the same after driving 4-5 miles then died and no restart. The repair shop found the #2 ignition coil melted into the valve cover and it had also cracked the valve cover. They replaced the valve cover and the #2 ignition coil and it happened again. The car is currently at the Chrysler dealership and premliminary estimate is an electrical problem sending too much voltage to that cylinder.so far there has been 2 ignition coils melted. I have been without ability to drive my car for 4 weeks now. Please put a recall on this problem !

Driving on the highway with the car on cruise at about 60mph the rpms suddenly dropped to zero and the car decelerated to a stop. When I restarted I went about a quarter of a mile before it turn off again. Then on attempting to turn over again it would not start. After cooling down (in the turn lane of a busy highway) for about six minutes it finally started again and I was able to pull to a parking lot.

This is my second compliant, though I should've been complaining since buying this vehicle in June 2016. My car wouldn't start and the engine would stall, no battery issue. All of a sudden a month later it started. I took it to my mechanic he said the engine light said a catalytic converter...but the catalytic converter does not need replaced. I have have my serpentine belt replaced 7 times in the last 3 years. I can hear my engine shifting roughly. In the month I bought the vehicle, I took it to the dealership to see what was wrong and why my RPM was going up when parked and the engine would stall. They told me if I didn't use the different fuel (which I only did twice) that it would stop. I was stuck with the car, and still am. My 'gas cap' light has been going on and off for years. I had my fuel system checked and a valve was replaced, sensors have been replaced. My engine now sounds worse than ever with knocking, whirring and shakes almost always. I'm told there is an electrical issue and/or the engine tensioner but no one can truly pinpoint the issue....it's extremely frustrating. Please recall this lemon. I have told everyone possible to never buy this brand of vehicle. This purchase was the worst mistake of my life.

I doing 70mph on the fwy and the car just lost power. I took it to a shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I had it replaced. 1 week later I tried to start the car and it would not start. I called aaa and when they came the car started. The same day I was on the fwy and the engine shut down again. I was terrified as a big rig was right behind me. I called the mechanic and had the car towed to his shop. He tested it and said the fuel pump must be bad. We replaced it again. The car seemed to run fine. Please note I only drive 5 to 10 miles a day. I was on the fwy again this week and the engine quit again. I went online to see if I was the only one having this kind of problem and found dozens of people having the same problem. I was very disharden to learn there was no recall for this. I was almost involved in 2 serious wrecks on the fwy. I called my local Chrysler dealer to be told there was nothing they can do. Please advise

All of sudden I felt a jolt in the gear shift and then I lost power steering and I couldn't step on the gas to accelerate. So I pulled over the best I could, on the highway going 55 mph. I shut the car off and when I turned it back on after giving it a couple minutes it was turning over but not turning on. The engine was completely stalled. No warning lights or check engine lights. It was completely random. I had to call family to come pick me and my daughter up. After a few hours we came back a new tried it. It worked but after driving it an hour it did the same thing again. I checked the recalls for my car and their isn't, however when I read up on forums and my car has the same issues as the other 2013 Chrysler 200S. With engine stalling and greater possibility of an engine fire. I think the make and model of the vehicle needs to be investigated. I had my toddler in the car and it was frightening. I'm diligent about keeping up maintenance on my vehicles and if any inclination and or warning I would've been at the mechanic.

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.

On four separate occasions my 2013 Chrysler 200 shut off on me while driving. It appeared as if the engine was not getting any gas. When I tried to start the vehicle it sounded like it wanted to start but no gas was getting to the engine. I. had the vehicle towed to the shop put my vehicle on the computer and no issues was revealed. Each time that it shut off I had a full tank of gas to 3/4 of gas. I had to wait 45-60 minutes before the car would start again. On 3oct2019 I was driving home from work traveling 65 mph when the vehicle shut down on me on the interstate.
