On the night of 5/11 I came home from a business trip in a rental vehicle and pulled my personal vehicular out of my underground secured garage to take to a store approximately 1 mile away. After returning to my apartment I parked the vehicle in the outside parking lot just for that night as I parked the rental underground. About 15 minutes after parking my vehicle I heard 2 loud booming sounds I could hear from my apartment. About 20 minutes after the booming sounds three police officers came to my apartment door and told me my vehicle was on fire. They took me down to the parking lot and told me there was an explosion that led to the fire. They told me there was a witness who saw sparks flying which led the police detective and fire department to think it was an electrical issue that led to the explosion. There is a police report on file and I have filed a claim with my insurance. The engine compartment was completely engulfed in flames and the heat/fire damaged the two vehicles on either side of my vehicle.

The air compressor and seat belt harness has gone bad and the vehicle is less than 5 years old. The A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait until 2019 to replace what I thought was the freon.

Vehicle looses power while driving; both on the interstate and country roads. Turns itself off. Transmission freezes between 4th and 6th gears. And won't shift, causing loss of power.
- Bee Branch, AR, USA
While driving the instrument cluster went out. Speedometer and all electronics and displays went out. I had to pull over on the highway and turn off the car and back on and the display went back on. The check engine light came on and when I took it to the dealer they said the codes that came up are inconclusive. This is the 4th time this has happened and it seems to only happen during warm or hot weather. This is very concerning while driving. Searching various forms, it seems this is an issue other Chrysler drivers have experienced.

I notified the Dodge recall center a month ago about an issue with electrical problems and engine stalls as well as problem codes. This affected driving and prevented registration per smog check. I was making a alright turn on el dorado and cleveland street last Thursday, 3/21/2019 and the car locked up or cut off and slid into a guard rail and curb damaging the driver side of the body and was unforgivable. It is being investigated now but the fca investigator informed me that he would not be able to inspect the vehicle until I signed and returned the attached document. Upon calling a month ago I performed a VIN search and realized that there were a few electrical recall incidents performed on my vehicle previously which were never disclosed with me. As a matter of fact the dealer edited the documents to show a clean history when printing my paperwork when I purchased the vehicle. I am totally confused as to what my rights are and how do I go about getting my vehicle repaired or compensated. Please let me know if you need any further documentation.

My airbag light comes on and off, most of the time it stays on though. Also, the car will die after driving and will stall while driving. It also appears that there are some sort of electrical issues with the car and the gears shift strange, sometimes throwing me forward while driving.

Either myself or my wife have been driving our 200 and while driving it stalls outs. It has happened a number of times for just over a month now. Yesterday I was driving it and it made a bell sound and then I saw something flash about oil but it went off the screen pretty quick. I was slowing around a corner. This morning my wife was driving the 200 and stated that the vehicle stalled twice as she was coming up to stop signs.

Airbag light came on in mid to late 2018. Car had ~65,000 at the time. Had the car diagnosed at the dealership and they said it was a wiring harness and charged me $300 to fix it. March 2019, the airbag light comes on. It appears on the dash for no apparent reason as I'm driving at highway speeds. After the initial audible and visual alarm, the visual alarm stays on and the audible alarm repeats every minute. Returned the car to the dealership (autopark Chrysler Jeep in cary, North Carolina) expecting that the repair would be covered due to the recent repair. They told me it was a different wiring harness and it would be ~$3300. When I asked the service manager if the car was hazardous to drive, he responded "absolutely". I have since parked the car and it has sat idle since.
