I was barely coming off of the freeway during traffic hour when my dashboard randomly indicated to shift into parking gear, which I did, and then the car turned off on me right before at the top of a downhill. I couldn't shift into neutral and couldn't get the car to turn back on. There I was in the hot weather with a car in the middle of the road right off of the freeway exit without a clue as to what happened. I had to get towed and the vehicle is now at the dealer; they won't be able to take a look at it until 5 days after the occurrence.

On 5/8 a conversation took place with a Chrysler Customer Service representative which was recorded. The representative acknowledged that the TCM going out is common due to the Transaxle Control Harness recall. The representative acknowledged this has not become a recall yet but this is a known problem and issue with the vehicles.

The vehicle lost power and completely shut down while driving. I was unable to turn on emergency flashers or move the vehicle out of the street. There was no warning or indication lights on. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and a private mechanic and they were unable to diagnose problem. After disengaging the battery and waiting about an hour, then reengaging battery, all power comes back on. I have had six incidents of this happening and two of the incidents were while driving, putting me at risk of being struck by another vehicle.
- Reynolds, GA, USA
While driving the car on the highway it completely shut off and would not start. My dashboard is black and flashes. This could have been worse and put our life at risk. I have had so many issues on this car ever since I purchased it. I have taken it to a shop before and this will be my third time.
- Waxahachie , TX, USA
The car gives an error message of "engine warming wait to start" It will not crank. I've spent money for a new battery and a starter and it wasn't the fix. Hundreds of other consumers have reported this issue in online forums and to the maker and still no resolve. They stopped production of the car for this reason. Something has to be done.

Chrysler/fiat has issued a TSB recommending the wiring harness inside seat to be replaced. This should be a safety recall not a TSB since it has to do with airbags. It's a safety hazard. This needs to be done before someone is seriously injured or dies.

Decelerating while approaching a stop sign the engine shut off and would not restart for approximately 10 minutes. No warning lamps or indicators were lit. The driver was in danger of rear collision while attempting to restart.

Car stalls when starting from a stop. If the outside air temperature is below 50 degrees F, it seems worse. There are no warning lights, no codes...it just stalls out. It will usually start after trying once (It takes at least 20-30 seconds of trying to start before it does). I was pulling from a redlight to a 4 lane road when it stalled. I had no where to go. When I first purchased the car, I took it to the dealership 3 times, they said it was a transmission problem at first, then spark plugs, and the third time they couldn't find anything. September 30th was the last time this has happened, but not the first. If I start the car 15 minutes before driving, it doesn't seem as bad

While vehicle is in driving mode it shuts off. I complained to East Hester chrysler 3 months ago and they were unable to diagnose the issue. It was doing it at least 3x a week, now it's happening daily and it has happen on the highway 2x which was a scary moment. I need some assistance, I notified Chrysler corporation and they reported the situation and refer me to a chrysler service center. I read that there has been a recall on my vehicle for the same situation (stalling while driving) I am having my vehiclencheck now at Central Ave Chrysler to see what they find. I hope the issue can be fixed and corrected and if there is a recall for this issue please help me. Thank you

- Cincinnati , OH, USA
Let me start by saying I was in love with my 200S but lately she been acting up. 1) I was driving on multiple occasions now when I-??ll hear a chim sound(Warning light with nothing laminated on the dashboard) car loses all power and shuts off completely no matter where on the freeway and surface streets 2mins later car starts up. The latest incident came a week ago when I was pulling in a drive way car shut off completely while traffic was coming almost causing a major crash (Thank God Nobody didn-??t get hurt) other motorists got out to help push it to safety. There-??s been multiple occasions while driving the car starts shaking bad as if it-??s going to stall check engine light comes on..I pull over scan for codes nothing pops up, I then check connectors and fluids etc unscrewed the gas cap Redo it, car starts up I drive home safely (No more stalling feeling or bad shaking) Mechanic run diagnostics No Error codes appear. 2) Airbags senor come on and off for no reason which scares the heck out of me to drive it not knowing if they-??ll actually protect me or not if I need it too. It-??s been almost 2 car payments since I drove it.Due to safety fears because I travel with Kids 3) it-??s hard to pick up speed when trying to accelerate My car is now at 99K miles and I have been going through these issues probably since 73K miles
