Horn didn-??t work and car stalled in the middle of highway. Part (clock spring)inside horn was replaced but horn still went off by itself or didn-??t work. Entire fuse box ( integrated power module)that controlled horn replaced to solve problem. It has been determined that this was also cause of car stalling out.

The vehicle stalled out while driving on the interstate. No warnings and no engine lights came on. We were slowing down to a stop because of construction. The car is available if inspection is requested. I had the fuel system serviced with fuel pump replaced. It is unknown if the mechanic was able to confirm the stall out. I picked the vehicle up today and it seemed to run smoothly, then it stalled out driving thru an intersection without warning.

My wife and daughters almost died in a car accident due to the apparent failure of this vehicle. We were driving on an HWY at night and the car just died out of nowhere. Dash started to flash and just died. We initially thought that it was the mechanic that had just fixed the car but after an investigation concluded that it was not anything they could have done. My family sustained life-threatening injuries and almost did not make it out alive as thee were rear-ended by a truck. Then on top of it when they were hit no airbags deployed which is what caused the injuries to be so much worse. After reading multiple complaints on NHTSA about the same issue for the same year and make I am baffled that this issue has not been addressed. I almost lost my family.

I received recall alert for code V51 (re-program powertrain control module) over a year ago (Dec 2019) and the dealership has been giving the run around. I've called numerous times to inquire about getting it fixed and every time I'm told the manager will start making calls to owners for the recall but no such thing has occurred.

My Chrysler 200 has been experiencing intermittent power loss and stalling. When driving the engine plus electrical power shuts down which leads to a loss of power steering. This situation almost caused a accident while on the freeway. In my research I have found many others who have the same complaint. The electrical system on this make/model has a 'very bad' rating on NHTSA website.

I was driving on the thruway in upstate NY, two different lights came on and a noise sound came on one was a thermostat and the other was an H looking light and then my vehicle shutdown in the middle of traffic. A few weeks ago I had went to the Chrysler dealership and they completed an oil change and stated that I needed new tires. I've never had in issues in the three years I've been financing this vehicle. I'm still under contract and I'm not able to drive vehicle. Had it towed to dealership and they states it was the engine which would run me about $4800. As an military veteran I am on a set income and I'm not able to afford to fix this issue. Please help me to explore options if you are able. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The 3.6 liter Chrysler engine has a flaw in the inter cooler mixing antifreeze with oil causing a lose of heat on passenger side of the car. This is a design problem effecting Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram with 3.6 liter engine. The cost to repair is $880 to $1,200 per car because of a faulty design. Who is going to step up to help the consumer.

My vehicle just leaked all the oil completely. I know a significant oil leak checked the oil and their was absolutely nothing. I sent it in for repairs and it happened to be a broken oil cooler. My big concerns is if the oil wasn't cooling right/transferring I wonder what effect sit had on my engine. For a three year old vehicle that's a huge and sad defect.
