“My 2017 Chrysler 200 randomly shuts off, no notification until it tallest me to put the vehicle in park to restart it. No lights displayed on dashboard indicating a problem. This is a huge safety issue especially on busy streets with my children in the vehicle. Its happened multiple times over the last 2 weeks.”

NHTSA complaint #11324195, filed 2020-05, 53,000 miles

“When I go to start the car with either fob I sometimes get a message can not identify fob. What happens if I'm going down the road at 70mph and it cuts off because it can't identify fob. This car is 41 months old and has approx. 33,000 miles. So far the car was still when the problem occurred next time I may be moving.. This has happened about 10 time in the last 6 months with both fob's.”

“The vehicle literally cuts off while I am driving I have taken it the shop and when they put it on the machine it doesn't register any error codes or malfunction codes. However, it still shuts off. I have children and don't want to be in an accident when I know my car will shut off at a moments notice!”

NHTSA complaint #11299142, filed 2020-01, 61,200 miles

“The engine stalls when coming to a stop such as a stop light or stop sign. The engine also stalls and shuts off when accelerating after stopping. It stopped in the middle of an intersection while turning out of my apartment complex into a busy main road. I was able to coast off of the road and tried to restart. Upon trying to restart it hesitated to turn over and start. It took about 2 minutes before it finally started and it didn't want to accelerate. There was no warning that it was getting ready to stall. …”

“I noticed there were recalls for the following problems and I have seen all of these happen to my vehicle but they haven't been fixed. Cruise control wont come off unless you hit the brakes 5 or 6 times and randomly speeds up without shifting. When this started happening my gas mileage went way down and the engine light keeps flashing. The codes coming up are cylinder misfire and air fuel ratio. I have talked to several people who said they had a similar issue and their dealership fixed it. I was told there were no recalls and nothing could be done. Not happy”
