Also , makes a loud cracking or popping sounds even when it is a small bump . It feels like the rearend is falling out . All i know is i've had it checked at 4 different places and they haven't been able to find any problems . This is a situation that could cause me to be in a serious accident or worse could cause fatalities !!!!!!!!! I 've also had this aligned and this still continues to happen everytime I drive this vehicle !!!!!

Car has been stalling during deceleration, braking and at stops. The issue was fixed only in one model when multiple years of this make and model was doing the same thing. The issue started in 2011 and was supposed to be addressed in 2012 but the actual recall to fix it was actually only for 2015 but I almost got into an accident by stalling. I bought the car & it started some days later in which the seller assumed it was fixed. After taking it to pep boys and getting other repairs it resulted in a $2k repair and its still stalling at stops and when slowing down. Why was the issue only fixed in 2015 models if it was made aware in 2011-2012? Those models would need that recall repair also. I have not been able to drive it continuously without it cutting off for a full day and nobody can figure out why because no codes are coming up. When researching I found a forum where it was suggested this was a major issue that was never rectified by Chrysler. They closed the investigation but did not service all cars with this issue.

I own a 2011 Chrysler 200 convertible. This vehicle has a huge problem with the convertible top latching system. When I try to close the top, the latches do not come out and therefore the top doesn't latch closed and there remains about a 2-3 inch gap that makes the car dangerous to drive in that position. Thereby making you have to drive with the top down. Then, when I called "ALL" my local Chrysler dealerships, they all say that they don't work on that specific problem. If not the dealership, then who? It's absolutely insane that Chrysler can straight up refuse to fix a known issue with one of their vehicles. I feel that this issue should be listed as a recall as hundreds, if not thousands, of customers have complained of the same issue.

2022 Winter - Had to spend 2,000.00 replace the Heater Core. This should of been covered in my books. I called Damion Chrysler to report this issue. They claimed they were not aware of such an issue. But if you look at all the reviews they say factory left extra gunck/sealer is why the heater quit blowing hot air on one side. 2023 Summer - Now my A/C isn't blowing cold air. But gargage was able to locate the leak and repair this. Have had both Drivers & Passengar Window Motors/Regulators replaced 2020 - 2022 Now in 2023 same issue with my back windows. Had power to it so replaced the Master Power Switch with a 200.00 new switch.

** Occasional stalling, when stopped or when driving normal speeds, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes longer. Fuel pump was replaced, problem continued, 2nd fuel pump installed, problem continues. Mechanic believes it is the TIPM, Totally Integrated Power Module. ** Headlights sometimes turn off while driving when totally dark. Not an issue of any ambient triggering headlight to turn off. I had headlights replaced, problem continues. It can only be resolved by turning headlights off, then back on. I suspect TIPM controls headlights set to AUTO, as headlights have a delay turn off when exiting the car. ** Horn turns on intermittently, when car is on or off. It will have short beeps or stay on for long periods. It may happen every few minutes, or days apart. As part of the alarm system, I suspect this could be another TIPM issue. Only resolution was to disconnect and drive without horns. Other randomly occurring issues that are likely due to TIPM: ** Smart front passenger window is erratic. The window should drop down 1/4 in when the door handle is pulled and as long as the door is open. When the door is open, the window will usually go back up (it shouldn't) but sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it keeps going up and down continuously, then stop, then start again. **Convertible top operation is erratic. It has many interlocks and sometimes it gets stuck 1/2 or 3/4 while opening, sometimes it may or not respond when closing. These problems have happened over the last year or so.

HEATER CORE PLUGS FROM THE DEXCOOL BRAKING DOWN, THEN FINALLY STARTS TO LEAK CAUSING LACK OF HEAT, EVENTUALLY FOGGING THE WINDOWS SO YOU CAN'T SEE CAUSING MULTIPLE SAFETY HAZARDS. COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I SEE ON LINE! YOU DON'T REALIZE IN SUMMER WHEN YOU BUY THE CAR TILL YOU GO TO USE IT IN THE SPRING AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!

WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY DECELERATING OR GETTING READY TO STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED AND GETTING READY TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL STALL OR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, WILL BE COMPLETELY HOT, WILL TAKE ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES AND THEN WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED MY SON SAFETY ISSUES WHERE HE'S COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING ON A BUSY ROAD AND THEN HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO EITHER A PARKING LOT WITHOUT POWER STEERING (HARD TO DO BY HIMSELF AT 18 YO) OR INTO A DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT. NO LIGHTS COME ON EXCEPT ONCE WHEN THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE SLIGHTLY BEFORE EACH EPISODE. THE LAST EPISODE WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES. NOW NO LONGER DRIVING DUE TO SAFETY!!

THERE IS A KNOCKING OR CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, IN OR AROUND STEERING COLUMN. I'VE HAD LOWER ARM CONTROL AND SWAY BAR REPLACED AND IT DID NOTHING TO HELP THE PROBLEM. I THEN HAD CHRYSLER DIAGNOSE IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS, WHICH I DID AND THAT DID NOT HELP. THE NOISE COMES AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS LOSE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'VE RESEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS A RECALL LIST FOUND ON CHRYSLER.COM FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR FOR THE STEERING COLUMN, AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CAR ALSO FALLS WITHIN THE DATE. BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW BUT ONE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL WHATSOEVER AND WANT MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX.

MY 2011 CHRYSLER 200 V6 HAS NOW STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS GOING OVER 40 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY, BUT AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO THE CAR WILL START NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY REV UP AND LURCH WHILE STOOPED AT RED LIGHTS, AND WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL BUT DOESN'T DIE TOTALLY, BUT WILL DRIVE FINE ONCE I GET MOVING AGAIN. ONLY BY PURE LUCK HAVE I NOT BEEN SLAMMED INTO BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN I'VE STALLED. MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE CHAPMAN DEALERSHIP IN HORSHAM, PA. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I GAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. BASICALLY THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S MY TOUGH LUCK, AND HOPEFULLY OUR FAULTY CAR THAT YOU HAVE A WARRANTY ON DOESN'T GET YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED. I RECENTLY HAD A DATA RECORDER INSTALLED FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO STALLING OCCURED, SO NOW CHRYSLER IS TELLING ME THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND, BUT THEY'ER BASICALLY TELLING ME TO TAKE MY LIFE IN MY HANDS WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I SPENT CLOSE TO $30,000 FOR BETWEEN CAR AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SAID TO CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN...WELL, WHAT IF I CAN'T CALL THEM BECAUSE I'M DEAD OR PARALYZED. WHAT IF I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR OR MINIVAN FULL OF KIDS RAMS INTO ME OR SWERVES TO AVOID ME. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM WITH 2011 CHRYSLER 200'S AND KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, SO I THINK THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP SOLUTION ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE COST OF A RECALL.
