“Had to get radio fixed when I first got the car. After a year it started making crackling sounds, then it stopped. So I started playing cds and now they make a popping sound every 3 seconds. The trunk was opening once and a while now it doesn't open without moving the back seat. While looking for a resolve, I see many people have these same problems.”

“My Chrysler 200 2013 touring stalled on me while coming to a stop at a stop sign I was stuck in a intersection for almost an hour and had to direct traffic around me so I wouldn't get hit. This is not the first time this has happened. This is the 5th time my car has stalled on me and I've only had it for 2 months, stalled twice on busy intersections I could have died. …”

“This is the second time in 2 years that I had to replace the alternator and battery on this car. I also had to replace fuses on this car. All the hazard lights came on battery light, hazard lights, all the lights in dashboard came on. Care accelerated slowly until it turned off. Couldn't drive”

“I am always having electrical problems. The lights don't want to turn on. The air conditioner does not want to switch on. The fans don't want to turn on. It's always something with the electrical. The car will be in different motions and so this sometimes when I go to start it or sometimes when I am driving. It can end up being dangerous what if the electrical goes out while I am driving”
