Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Engine shuts off on highway going full speed limit surrounded by heavy traffic. I was terrified. The engine light comes on & can't get car started. Then car starts & engine light goes away. Not to mention transmission is leaking & new transmission was put in 2015. Chrysler can't get me in until 4/19/18 bc its busy season. This may be why windshield wipers come on everytime I turn left.”

“I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 that stalls randomly. I have taken it in for service and diagnostic services and no results. The system has absolutely no codes stored in the system. It happens randomly while the vehicle is stationary and in motion. I have seen a lot of complaints with the same thing happening to people. It has left me in extremely dangerous situations many times. I do not feel comfortable or safe driving this car. This needs to be investigated as I have learned it has been affecting years from 2011 to 2016”

“Car has been acting funny but parked in a customer parking lot and when I tried to start car it stated severe problem and would not turn over. With my low miles I cant believe that a fuel pump could go.”

NHTSA complaint #10732029, filed 2015-07, 30,306 miles

“4 cylinder 2.7l engine city gas mileage is only 13.5 mpg. My 2012 dodge grand caravan with a 3.6l v-6 gets 15 mpg. The 200 should be getting at least 18-20 mpg. My 2010 toyota corolla gets 23 mpg with the same type of city driving. There are people complaining all over the web about the excessive fuel consumption problem. Chrysler should fix the problem and do a recall. Minimum they should install an eco mode button to bring the mpg up to the advertised mpg. The transmission shift points should be lowered so the engine does not rev to 3000 rpms on every shift. …”
