STEERING

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS. A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE DIES I LOSE POWER STEERING AND CAN'T GET IT OFF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES AN HOUR OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. MOST COMMONLY IT HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN REAPPLY, LIKE SLOWING DOWN FOR A CAR TURNING IN FRONT OF ME, TAKING A TURN AND TAKING AN EXIT RAMP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT AT A DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM OR RECOMMEND A FIX. I HAVE ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TAKE IT BACK IN IF THE PROBLEM WORSENS. THAT IS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE IT IS EITHER GOING TO GET ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN AN ACCIDENT.

STEERING

IN JULY 2019, MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200, THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014 JUST STOPPED. WOULDN'T GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A STEEP HILL. I WENT FROM 45 MPH TO NOTHING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON AND THE CAR WASN'T ACTING ANY DIFFERENT THAN IT HAD THE MILLION TIMES I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IT BEING JERKY WHEN TAKING OFF. THEY REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I WAS AND STILL AM THE SOUL OWNER OF THIS CAR THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 85,000 MILES ON IT. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY WARRANTY AND THE NOW BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WHICH I HAD IT TOWED THERE SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. I WAS CONTACTED A FEW DAYS LATER BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME IT WAS, IN FACT THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 30 DAYS GIVE OR TAKE AND WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BY MILES. BUT SINCE IT'S AN EITHER-OR WARRANTY, I WAS NOW OUT OF A CAR THAT I HAD PAID ALMOST $30,000 FOR, UNLESS I WANTED TO GO IN HALF WITH CHRYSLER AND PAY THEM AN ADDITIONAL $2113.44 TO REPLACE OR FIX THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS A CLOSED TRANSMISSION BUT DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY SERVICE UNTIL 96,000 MILES PER THE OWNER'S MANUAL. HAD I HAD, MY THEN 9-MONTH-OLD GRANDSON WITH ME WHEN THE CAR WENT FROM 45 MPH TO NOTHING AND A VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME, WE BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THE CAR NEVER GAVE ANY WARNING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY AS A PARENT, NANA, AND QUITE FRANKLY A HUMAN. HAD I KNOWN OF THIS WEBSITE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE REPORTED IT THEN! HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE THIS KIND OF SITUATION NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE.

STEERING

ALL OF SUDDEN I FELT A JOLT IN THE GEAR SHIFT AND THEN I LOST POWER STEERING AND I COULDN'T STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE . SO I PULLED OVER THE BEST I COULD, ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AFTER GIVING IT A COUPLE MINUTES IT WAS TURNING OVER BUT NOT TURNING ON. THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY STALLED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. IT WAS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I HAD TO CALL FAMILY TO COME PICK ME AND MY DAUGHTER UP. AFTER A FEW HOURS WE CAME BACK A NEW TRIED IT. IT WORKED BUT AFTER DRIVING IT AN HOUR IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND THEIR ISN'T, HOWEVER WHEN I READ UP ON FORUMS AND MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER 2013 CHRYSLER 200S. WITH ENGINE STALLING AND GREATER POSSIBILITY OF AN ENGINE FIRE. I THINK THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HAD MY TODDLER IN THE CAR AND IT WAS FRIGHTENING. I'M DILIGENT ABOUT KEEPING UP MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLES AND IF ANY INCLINATION AND OR WARNING I WOULD'VE BEEN AT THE MECHANIC.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING, THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN.

WAITED ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED. 5 MINUTES LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. DID NOT RESTART FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES.

STEERING

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.

STEERING

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF HAVING DTC COME UP FOR EVAP AND MISFIRE THEN DISAPPEAR JUST A QUICK AS IT CAME UP, MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DECELERATING OR IDLING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AND TESTS GOOD EVERY TIME, AS DOES THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, WIRES, CONNECTORS AND SENSORS. NOBODY CAN FIND ANY DTC ON THE OBDII OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S EASY TO REPLICATE BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DECIDE WHY. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALLS FROM 2012 CONCERNING THE PCM AS WELL AS CHATTED WITH A FEW PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND NOBODY WANTS TO HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION, AS I CAN PROVE WITH VIDEO FROM MY DASH CAM AND BACK UP CAM. THE PEOPLE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE WERE VERY RUDE, AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT EITHER WITHOUT CHARGING $300 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. IT'S SAYS RIGHT ON THE WEBSITE "WHAT IS A SAFETY RECALL? SAFETY RECALLS INCLUDE ANY PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED WITH AN FCA US PRODUCT RELATED TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE OR THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS. FCA US LLC WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AT NO CHARGE, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER."

STEERING

WE HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM FOR THE HARD STEERING. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS GOING OR HAS GONE OUT WHICH LEADS TO THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. THE HARD STEERING HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE TURNING. IT IS ALSO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY.

STEERING

STARTING OVER 1 YEAR AGO, MY CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES AND MORE DRASTICALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTS VIBRATING AND SHAKING WHEN OVER 55 MPH. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 10 TIMES FOR ALIGNMENTS, NEW STRUTS, NEW TIE RODS, NEW TIRES, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIXES. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND SOME OF THESE ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEAR CRASHING DUE TO THE EXTREME PULL TO THE RIGHT. I JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY ADJUSTED THE CAMBERS AND ALIGNED IT TO PULL TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE THE RIGHT PULL, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

STEERING

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.

STEERING

CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FINE WHEN PURCHASED NEW 18MONTHS.AGO. BUT AFTER HAVING IT FOR 3MONTHS. THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG. FIRST INCIDENT WAS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL IT HAS FAILED TO SHUT OFF FOR ME 3X. APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES OF PRESSING THE OFF BUTTON IT SHUT OFF AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER SHIP & THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED BUT NO ISSUES FOUND. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP & NO ISSUES FOUND THE MECHANIC SAID CAR SEEMED FINE BUT TO RETURN IF PROBLEM RETURNED. THE PROBLEM STILL COMES AND GOES BUT I TRY TO IGNORE IT BECAUSE THE SHIFTING ISSUE DIDN'T SEEM ANY WORSE. BUT NOW RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS ANOTHER PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MY TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS OFF CHECKING IT ALMOST DAILY. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL EXISTS ALONG WITH IT PULLING BAD TO THE RIGHT, & I'M ABLE TO FEEL SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AS LOW AS 25MPH, REACHING SPEEDS 50+ THE SHAKING IS ONLY FELT AT TIMES, CONTINUES TO PULL & FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN A WEEK AGO TO THE TIRE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FEEL WHAT I WAS FEELING BUT COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I REQUESTED A ALIGNMENT BUT THEY ALSO SAID THAT WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. THE SHAKING AND PULLING IS NOW GETTING MUCH WORSE AND TODAY WE PICKED UP YET ANOTHER PROBLEM. WELL STOPPED/PARKED CAR IDLES HARD & FEELS AS IF ITS GONNA STALL OUT. A FRIEND OVERLOOKED MY CAR. HE CLIMBED UNDERNEATH AND HAD ME APPLY A SMALL ABOUT OF PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. SAID HE A WHISTLING/SPUTTER SOUND LIKE ITS HESITATING. HE FELT THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE RPMS WHERE AT 1 & PARKED. ONLY APPROX. 32,000MILES.

STEERING

AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 20-30 MINUTES) - WHEN MAKING TURNS OR TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS I START HEARING A KNOCKING / CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE SOUND MAKES ME VERY UNEASY AND IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COME APART. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM, AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS SOUND WHAT SO EVER IN ANY CAR! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND THAT THEIR ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!
