My car is having an intermittent loss of power to electrical components could cause a vehicle to stall without warning. This has happened on several occasions, whereby my vehicle was on the road and simply loss power.

A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. My husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. I called Chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the Chrysler dealership. After 3 days in the service dept I was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. Since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. Luckily this happened as I was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when I was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. I'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time I may not be as lucky. I leased the car brand new in Aug. 2014, the lease ends Aug. 2017.

First, my car problem starts 2 weeks ago with heating sensor stopped working suddenly and it shows take to the dealer and I fixed it. After that problem continues with the new sensor as well. After driving couple of miles, it shows you required a service of the sensor and it goes on/off on its own when I take to the dealer it says it's fine after inspection. After that check engine starts popping up along with service of heat engine sensor. I think I have wasted my hard earned money on Chrysler 200 and I am not gonna refer it to anyone as I have driven Honda before so expectations were high.

Vehicle engine cylinder walls suffered from excessive scoring during the time it was manufactured. The car constantly stalls, shakes, and jerks when driving and during idle periods. This vehicle is very unsafe to drive, due to the fact that control over the vehicle is limited because of theconstant shaking and rumbling of the steering wheel while driving. While I was driving the Chrysler car on the highway, the vehicle almost shut off completely, subsequently putting me and my newborn baby at risk of a fatal accident. The vehicle has also been diagnosed with many other issues with the power train components of the engine. One morning in my garage, the 200 would not crank when pressing the push button ignition and after this, the manual transmission would not shift the vehicle into neutral in order for the car to be towed. This vehicle was purchased brand new in 2015, and Chrysler has failed to fix or acknowledge these issues.
