2011 Chrysler 200 Engine cooling Problems

“Was stopped at a stop light and as I began to go my engine completely stopped. I had to put my car back in park and turn the car off and restart the car. This occurred again a week and a half later and I had to do the same thing. This is extremely dangerous and I had my children in the car with me at the time.”

“My heater quit working on passenger side. It will not blow hot air through defrost, vents or floor on that side. Took it to dealership and they claim I need new radiator, reservoir bottle and heater core due to sludge from factory. Its going to be sixteen hundred dollars to fix. Chrysler admits to this problem in the 2012 model but not 2011. I feel like this should be a recall and Chrysler be responsible for fixing it.”

“I purchased this vehicle new in july 2011. The car has a very jerky motion when driving regardless of the speed you drive. I have taken it back twice and the dealership claims it's a computer problem. No error lights show when they test it but so much of the vehicle operation is controlled by computers. The second time I had the vehicle test driven by a Chrysler mechanic who felt the jerky motion and stated it's getting caught in between gears and that a computer software upgrade is needed but the car is current in software. …”

So I restarted the car, but it did not run smoothly or sound good at all. It sounded, ran and felt like the fuel mixture and pressure was faulty. Check engine light was now on. I turned around and returned to service dept. And told them what had just happened. …”

“12/22/11 - while coming up to a red light, almost at a stop, the engine shut off. The lights worked and the radio worked but the engine was off and the steering didn't work. I was able to put the car in park and after 2 tries the car restarted. I took the car to the dealer the next morning and they were unable to tell me why the car shut off because there was no code recorded. 2/16/12 - while pulling up to a light, going about 10 MPH, the engine shut off. Was about to put the car in park and restart the car. Called the dealer and will be taking it in again 2/18. …”
