Muiltple problems with the engine. It's been replaced &I I'm still having a problem with it.. this is the second time have to pay a deductible due to the car randomly shutting off. Shifting into N.. the first time they said it was an internal engine leak:.. then within a few months I started having the same issue. I've had the car for a years & I haven't been able to move it in 3 months. The car keeps having problems after problem and it's still under the warranty.. but I'm paying the payments on a car I can't use for no other reason but factory problems

Last week I was making a left turn onto busy road( traffic coming at me from both directions) when my car stalled out with no warning( I assumed maybe low oil or gas, so I added more oil and filled gas in gas tank)today I was driving and my car stalled out with no warning again, I tried starting my car again and it wouldn't start the first few times and finally when I did get it started I pressed the gas and nothing was happening

I had just left my house and was driving 25 mph when my Chrysler 200 cut off. The screen read, shift to park to start. I shifted into park and tried to restart the car but it didnt start. Then I waited about 30 seconds and tried to start it again and it started. This was the second time I had this problem. Everytime the car shut off, it was after driving only a few minutes at 25 mph. I almost got hit by another car both times and it was pretty scary because I often drive with my three yr old. The car is a lemon and Chrysler should give everybody their money back or most of it. Chrysler is playing with peoples lives and recalling it doesnt solve the problem.

After shifting into reverse or drive, the car will not move, then suddenly slams into gear and lunges abruptly. This has happened several times and it is frightening when in traffic. Also, after shifting into reverse or drive and beginning to move, the car suddenly jolts to a stop and feels like it's digging in, and will not move. It then indicates the parking brake has been engaged when I never touched the parking brake. This has also happened numerous times and is also frightening when merging into traffic. When the brake suddenly engages, all on it's own Accord, it is difficult to get it to release.

Brakes, front wheel bar or something, thermostat, bought the car in August 2017. Haven't driven it very much at all. Now all these problems and I paid a great deal for this car. The transmission also acts funny at times. Not wanted to shift or shifts hard. The car was on the highway when the thermostat went out. Everything dropped on the screen and red thermostat came on and red letters about something hot stabilizer, throttle body, something.

Driving to work and all of a sudden I got two alerts on my dashboard signaling engine temperature hot and to service electric throttle control. The cars performance after these alerts was poor and it was very loud. It was struggling to get past 40mph. Took it to a shop and found my thermostat, the housing, and sensor needed replacing. Also found out the memory of the controller needed to go back to a dealer to be erased and re programmed which is not my fault.

Have had vehicle approx 1 yr. While driving 45mph on city street check engine came on with engine overheat msg and engine cooling sensor as well. Replaced sensor and while driving the next day on highway at 70 mph to see if the system readjusts itself to the new sensor message came on again with added service elecrtrical throttle control msg and check engine lights again. I was near oreill and it produced codes for thermostat, cooling sensor, system performance, etc. Messages are not on screen now but check engine lights still on. I believe it triggers when cooling temp reaches appx, 189 F. after doing some research many others are experiencing these issues and seems the problem escalates to much worse such as shutting off while driving. No recalls thus far but many people anticipating someone needing to die before something is done. I drive with my children almost all of the time and am very concerned.

First, there is the HVAC/windshield defrost. My concern with that condition is that my vehicle is my main source of travel and to have the HVAC to work properly in the summer is vital as well, as having a clear windshield. A breakdown at night, an accident, hitting a pole hole, something or someone would be far worse than a mere inconvenience. Incidentally, my intended use of the vehicle was made quite clear to the sales staff when I bought it. Second, and the matter of far greater concern to me is the transmission. Car making clucking noise, vibrating, jerking while shifting gears and launching while driving as if someone hit me from the back. Third, vehicle is only 2 years old and has had to have the drive shaft replaced. Which in return I've been without vehicle for more then 14 days and occur extra expenses of car rentals, tires and wheel alignment due to irregular wear. Fourth, hesitation on attempt to accelerate. I was informed that issue would be resolved with replacement of drive shaft. Defective drive shaft was the reason for delay and jerking. Fifth, excessive gas burning. I was informed that exist because of drive shaft. Once drive shaft was replaced it didn't resolve issue. I was giving a formula to calculate gas mileage, which was given to dealer. Car averaging 16mpg. Per car sticker fuel economy: Highway 29/ city 18. Car is driven mostly on highway without a lot of stop and go traffic. Our state's lemon law dictates that a vehicle carries a presumption that it is a lemon if a condition exists 'that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven and the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by the manufacturer or its agents, and the buyer or lessee has at least once directly notified the manufacturer of the need for the repair of the nonconformity.'

While utilizing the uconnect 8.4 nav onboard navigation system driving on 1-94 toward Chicago, the gps system started giving wrong directions and shortly thereafter lost lock on where the vehicle was and the direction it was heading. At one point, the system told me to turn right at the exit and there was no exit. Fortunately, I was in daylight conditions and knew the directions to be in error. Had this not been the case, I.e driving at night in poor visibility and unfamiliar with the route, the results could have been far worse.

As I was driving the car stalled 6 times, its not a standard which is unusual. The only explanation the garage gave me was that its low on oil. Which makes no sense to me, I've researched it and alot of people at having similar issues. When the car stalled I lost control of the steering and the brakes. Luckily no one was in front of me. I stayed there in the middle of an intersection with a cop directing traffics around my car, until I could get it to start back up. When it started back up it ran good for about 10 minutes then it stalled again and I had it towed.

Purchased 2015 Chrysler 200 at 4:35 pm. Got on hwy 25 miles West going home I-70 West to bonner springs, the car started hesitating, I nearly got thrown off highway by 3 semis- adnd 2 trucks and cars behind me, let off horrible burning odor, and nearly threw my body out of the car, but I handled well. I got off I-70 to state avenue- runs parallel directions. Then, when I came to a number of lights- the engine revved up, like it was jerking motions. I paid it some attention, but was at a loss for words. I thought I was on a race track engines revved up, but I was not going to a race track. So, I came home- settled now down TO2:445 in the morning very shaken up. So, I notified the televisions news stations and the Kansas City star newspaper as we speak. I decided to read the "Chrysler 200 reviews, and I am sure you can pull them too. I just searched for Chrysler 200 reviews- and I read so many "exact" stories- I don't know what to say. I cannot sleep. This is the worst feeling I have ever had. Read the reviews. Help people live, and get rid of these cars. Just think, it has great leg room- I had plans for my nieces- to go to Texas, we cannot die at once. I am not ready to be buried- at least let me teach a few more months and years. Had it been snowing, I would be dead. My life has been turned up side down, since 4pm. It is not just me. Don;T let these people kill kids, my nieces could have died this weekend. I thought I was going to pick them up, but I am so shaken, I am ice cold all over. I pray to god- you will cease these vehicles at once. Please don;T let any more people drive these cars- and please show these on face the nation on channel 5 cbs stations. Thank-god- my nieces are alive. I am so glad to be home. I plan to get a police escort to the dealership 9/12/2017. I have had so much trouble finding honesty. God bless us.
