“Engine keeps stalling at stop lights and signs, my kids are in the car and don't want to get hit because of it, car has 129,000 miles always been very well maintained and now only problems. Also we bought the car brand new made every payment on time only to start having problems once it's paid off. So frustrating”

“I was driving in the middle of the street when the car just shut off completely. The car stall I had to call the tow truck and the police for help because I couldn't even put my emergency lights on. I waited for 2 hours and suddenly the car went back on. The car like if nothing ever happened. It was scary luck that I wasn't on the freeway with my children at that time.”

“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. …”

“After my vehicle was recalled for the TCM, it has not worked properly. I almost got into an accident because the car seems to slip into neutral while driving. I will be driving and suddenly the power drops and then it pops back into drive if you press the gas hard enough. It's dangerous and embarrassing.”

“I was driving when all of a sudden a hot oil light came on my 2013 Chrysler 200, 2.4l. I then pulled off to the side of the road and proceeded to turn the car off. When I tried starting it again got oil light was on. Ended up getting a tow back to my house and went out there a few hours later and cranked it up and the engine shakes bad.”
