Heater system, no heat comes out of drivers side, it works on defrost, also passenger side but cold air for the driver. Went to the dealer and they said I needed a new heater core witch don't make sense to me. Why would I need a new heater core if I am getting heat every where else

I was on the highway going 65mph when my vehicle started to slow down to 20mph with alerts saying the transmission needs to be inspected, the shift park gear needs to be inspected and please put vehicle in park before you come to a rolling stop. Once I was able to pull over on the highway the vehicle wouldn't allow me to put the vehicle in park. I then had to turn off the vehicle to force it into park. After I sat for a couple of minutes it allowed me to move further down the highway but did it again in an very bad part of the highway. I had to repeat the steps turn off the vehicle, put the parking brake on then, turn off the vehicle, sit for a few minutes and then the alerts went away but not the engine light. I was able to get off the highway and take the main roads to get to carmax where I bought my vehicle. I was told my car would have to be in the shop for 2 weeks that it has to be shipped to Chrysler because my vehicle has to be rewired entirely that it was an electrical issue. I had this car 2 years no issues so imagine my fear. I didn't know what to do. As I was talking to my co-worker she had the same car she said this was a recall that her vehicle did the same thing a year ago and she had to get it fixed.

In the morning I was backing into a parking spot while slightly turning and the car started acting up and then died. Wouldn't start with start button. After placing the remote next to start button and waiting a bit I was able to start it up after a few tries. Finished parking. After work, I was driving home and was waiting to turn and do uturn and the car once more died. Not sure if I was completely stopped or inching forward while waiting for incoming traffic to clear. Tried starting it up again the same ways as in morning. The car wouldn't start. After standing 5 minutes in a turning lane, I got it to start. Finished the drive home worrying. Also while driving, time from time, all of the dashboard flicker and then go completely dark. After a few minutes, they come back on. That is speed, RPM, gas level, engine temperature, and all other dashboard lights. Causes distraction while driving and also results in me being unable to see speed the car is traveling at.

Car shuts off while braking, and turns everything off. It also 'locks' the brake, and takes minutes to release. When this happens all lights turn off, push to start won't work, and engine will not start. The car cuts off at the most inopportune times, and makes driving extremely dangerous. It's been shutting off more frequently, and for longer moments at a time. This usually occurs on street's but has occurred in two drive-thrus. On one occasion the car shut off mid-turn. Again this makes driving incredibly dangerous, and is frustrating and inconvenient. This is my only means of transportation so driving has become a risk.

For the past several months I have been having issues with my car starting. There are no indicators that theres any issue with the vehicle. It just takes about several seconds to get a crank in order for the car to come on. I have taken it to get it looked at to see what the cause of the problem was. No issues with the battery or starter. I had the spark plugs changed with an oil change and still the same issue. Since then for the past few days upon my initial start for the day my car has shut off on me while driving down the residential road less then a mile in it stops out of nowhere locks the car up so im unable to stir the car and tells me to part the car in park. After that im unable to get the car to start again after several attempts then it'll finally crank back up after putting the key flob next to the push start button. What is going on with my car. This is dangerous thank god I wasnt on the highway nor where cars behind me. I have checked for recalls on my car and its not indicating any for mine in particular but there are recalls on 2015 Chrysler 200 models. My car isnt under warranty and has over 100 thousand miles.

Vehicle, even after repair continues to have front-passenger airbag light. Even after oil levels are changed and maintained, cabin and air filters changed, vehicle continues to stall even after servicing (both paid and under warranty) Chrysler has not resolved the issues that harbor my vehicle and offer no solution. Temp/engine light issue came on during highway travel. Stalling usually occurs on city and residential streets. Both in motion.

Radio freezes up for hours on end meaning you may have to touch your phone while driving instead of using hands free. Bluetooth stops working randomly and radio volume randomly gets super loud or practically silent. Makes a weird high pitched skipping sound. Has happened on multiple occasions. When parked and when driving on highway.

My air bag light always comes on. Saying it needs to be serviced every time the front passenger seat is moved. My radio used to shut off while I'm driving and reboot like if im starting the car.. now it doesn't turn on at all. It just glitches. Since I got the car when I go to switch gears the car will switch gears hard. Like if something is wrong with the transmission.

Car not wanting to turn over when trying to start without jumping. Had battery and alternator checked both are fine and starter was replaced no more than maybe a year ago. This is daily and if sits throughout day. Lights and everything interior turn on and it acts like it wants to turn over just not enough power. Also replaced battery in key fob. Started happening within last month.

My air quit working and the air bag light has been on for a year. I have taken my car to several places and cannot find whats wrong with the air bag light that will not go off. I have bought a control moduler for the blowing air which I was directed to buy by a part dealership and still nothing. I am worried that my air bags do not work properly and also it is winter and no hot air still after buying a three hundred dollar piece plus the price of the mechanic for putting it in.

I drive to work for half hour. When driving the vehicle hard shifts between 30-35mph for no apparent reason, on the highway or in city, the whole car hard shifts and the driver and passenger can both hear and feel it. They test it and say nothing is wrong with any transmission, etc. They refuse to fix even under warranty. The car warms up for 15 minutes before driven anywhere and the temperature doesn't affect it, it divvies both summer and winter now for 3 years!! now, it pops up AWD service and they say it should have no reason to be displaying it. I'm stuck with a vehicle unsafe for my kids because no one can find an issue!
