As I was driving down a slight slope while braking to try to come to a stop, the car died / shut off. Within the few seconds that I was trying to slow to a stop, the brakes stopped working, various lights turned on the Dash (I can't remember which), and then the car shut off entirely. If there was a car or something in front of me, I would not have been able to stop because the brakes weren't working. This problem has been reported numerous times through various online forums/sites. There was no warning, message, or other symptom to indicate this would happen. This car also has stalling issues that has been complained of by other Chrysler 200 owners as well. Both stalling and shutting off poses a serious concern to all drivers.

Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.

REFERENCE RECALL P60 FOR ALTERNATOR DIODE ISSUE. THE COMPLAINT VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH A DEAD SHORT TO GROUND CONDITION WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. VEHICLE RUNNING WILL INTERMITTENTLY DEAD SHORT TO GROUND. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THIS CONDITION AND THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SHORTED AND NONFUNCTIONAL. IN THIS CONDITION I REMOVED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE ALTERNATOR AND VOLTAGE WAS RESTORED. REPLACED THE CABLE AND OBSERVED THE SHORT CONDITION AGAIN. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE WAS NOT ADEQUATELY DEFINED INITIALLY. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS TO FCA DIRECTLY AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER OF: 76150991, THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THE REPAIR IS OUT-OF-POCKET UNTIL CHRYSLER ENGINEERING TO THE NHTSA MAKES A DIFFERENT DECISION. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WILL UNKNOWINGLY REPLACE THE BATTERY AND START DRIVING AGAIN, PUTTING THEIR LIVES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK.

I GOT A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 FROM MEGA AUTO OUTLET IN STAFFORD,VA.3-30-20 AND TRIED TO TAKE IT BACK TO MEGA AUTO OUTLET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY ABOUT WHY THERE WASN'T A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND WHY WAS THERE SOME MUCH NOISE FROM THE REAR. THE SALESMAN THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A INSPECTION STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND TOLD HIM THERE WASN'T AND I WAS GOING TO BRING THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT A INSPECTION STICKER. BUT HE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND SAID TO ME IF I WAS TO BRING THE CAR BACK THAT THE POLICE WOULD THERE AND NOT TO BRING CAR BACK. I TOOK TO LOCAL GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING NOISES IN THE REAR OF CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I FOUND TOUT THAT THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO?

WHILE DRIVING SLOWER, DECELERATING, OR BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK UP, AND THEN THE CAR STALLS/SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WOULD HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. IT HAS OCCURRED RIGHT BEFORE HAVING TO MERGE FROM A LANE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC (BUMPER-TO-BUMPER) ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, PUTTING ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION. LUCKILY, AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE...UNTIL IT DOESN'T AGAIN.

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A LEGIT BUSINESS, NORTH AMERICAN AUTO GROUP. THEY ARE RIP OFFS. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD AND TOLD ME I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT MAKING MUCH OFF THE CAR FOR THEM TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THOSE, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WENT BACK TO LET THEM FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO BRAKES AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY, THAT'S UP TO ME TO GET CHANGED ON MY OWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR HAS LEFT ME WITH A DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. THE STRUTS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR.

FROM ALMOST THE BEGINNING OF OWNING THIS CAR IT HAS MADE A NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE, LIKE IT COULD COME APART. I HAD BRAKE ISSUES ALSO. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE BRAKE NOISE, BUT NOT THE NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DETECT. YET, MY CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS NOISE. NOW, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A NOISE IF EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. CHECKED ON YOUTUBE AND MANY PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200'S, 2013'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEIR MECHANICS EITHER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OR IT'S 1. STEERING COLUMN 2. OUTER TIE ROD END OR SWAY BAR END LINKS 3. BALL JOINTS 4. BUSHINGS CAN BE WORN ON CONTROL ARMS OF SWAY BAR OR 4. TIE ROD. MY DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY OF THAT WRONG WITH MY CAR, YET, I BELIEVE IT IS ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED AT MOORE, CHRYSLER, JEEP, SUBARU, AT 8700 W. BELL, ROAD IN GLENDALE, ARIZONA. I AM A SINGLE LADY, LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. MY DAD BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR ME. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS FIXED IF THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT, AND THE DEALER LETS IT. I NEED THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX MY CAR.

NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 I NOTICED THAT EVERY FEW DAYS I HAD TO GET AIR IN MY TIRE. WHEN I HAD MY VERY FIRST SERVICE I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND PUT AIR IN THEM. THEN IT WAS THE SAME EVERY FEW DAYS PUT AIR IN TIRE. WELL ON NEXT SERVICE IT WAS THE SAME OLD THING NOTHING WRONG PUT AIR IN TIRES THIS JUST KEEPS GOING ON. WELL WHEN IT WAS TIME TO ROTATE TIRES THEN THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE WORSE. HAD TO GO FROM EVERY FEW DAYS TO EVERY OTHER DAYS AT NEXT SERVICE GOT THE SAME STATEMENT NOTHING WRONG. NOW ITS GOT TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PUT AIR EVERYDAY AND NOT JUST ONE TIRE BUT ALL OF THEM. I JUST NOW GOT TO 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR. ALSO THEY SAID AND TRIED TO TALK ME INTO GETTING NITROGEN PUT IN WHICH COST MONEY AND IF YOUR ON THE ROAD AND YOUR TIRE GOES LOW YOU CAN'T PUT AIR IN A NITROGEN TIRE.

I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT EVERYDAY SQUEAKING INSTEAD. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND IS NOW A BREAKING SQUEAL EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AS I'VE INVESTIGATED. IF THEY KNEW THIS, WHY WOULD YOU SELL A CAR TO SOMEONE? TO ME, THIS IS A FRAUDULENT ACT WHEREBY THEY INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED THIS VEHICLE AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. NOW THEY SAY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO CHRYSLER, NOT ONLY THAT THEY CAN'T RESOLVE IT, BUT EVERY TIME I STOP, IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEM.
