This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

My power windows won't go up at times. When my driver side window rolls up then the passenger side window won't roll up and vice versa. When my passenger side window works fine the driver side window won't roll up. The electrical problem has caused my cigarette lighters and charger ports in my car to stop working! it happens whether sitting still or moving. The window wash that window cleaner comes out of keeps getting clogged.
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.
Just purchased the car and less than 24 hours after buying, the car sits dead. Noticed there was no coolant in the overflow so I added coolant and once I got into my vehicle it had the battery light illuminated. I drove it about 2 miles and the traction control light came on, the airbag light came on, the electrical system light came on, the ABS light came on, and the check engine light came on before my vehicle completely died and has not moved since! I jumped it but it stalled out before I could even get the hood closed and drive anywhere. I replaced the battery but the issue here is the alternator! why hasn't this been recalled yet??
Reference recall P60 for alternator diode issue. The complaint vehicle has an intermittent issue with a dead short to ground condition within the alternator. Vehicle running will intermittently dead short to ground. The vehicle shuts off unexpectedly in this condition and the battery and electrical system is completely shorted and nonfunctional. In this condition I removed the electrical connection to the alternator and voltage was restored. Replaced the cable and observed the short condition again. It is very disturbing that the scope of this issue was not adequately defined initially. I have escalated this to fca directly and was provided with a reference number of: 76150991, they have said that there is nothing they can do and the repair is out-of-pocket until Chrysler engineering to the NHTSA makes a different decision. I truly believe there are several people who will unknowingly replace the battery and start driving again, putting their lives and others on the road at risk.
My Chrysler 200 has been turning off out of no where. No check engine light or anything turns on. My cars horn goes off randomly in the middle of driving and when put into park. I had 3 recalls and recently went to get them fixed thinking it would help, since one of the recalls was reprogramming the main module of the car. Still to this day it turns off on me. Just the other day I was in town making a turn and it stopped before I was able to complete the turn. It's also turned off on me many times when I'm driving in one direction. After it turns off I am able to re start it, and other times I have to wait several minutes before I'm able to get it turned back on.

At random my cars dies/stalls. I could be at a stop sign and the engine lose power shakes then dies. I could be driving in town cruising down main street at 25mph and my car engine will lose power shake then die while I'm still driving in motion. I could be driving on the free way with speeds at 70 mph and my car will just die, foot goes all the way in peddle when dead. You could feel no power in the car and it will roll out. Once the car is dead the power steering is out. It's very unsafe. I've been broken down for hours on the side of the road or minutes. I've been broken down in all 3 situations multiple times as stated above. The car shows no warning when it is going to die, no engine lights either, happens at random. Very unreliable and it tragic that I have to keep paying for a vehicle that does not perform like it should, I'm paying for a broken car. Dealership wants no part of it. I've got a recall letter, took it in and nothing was fix. They say it was the PCM but little did they know it was a brand new on. Already was updated. I feel nothing was dont to take care of the problem since the dealership had about 10 other people with recall letter. I'd really appreciate the help if any can be assisted
The engine keeps stalling while driving without warning. It is unable to restart for about 30 minutes, then will start up normally as if nothing has happened. I have taken it to Chrysler service several times to be told that nothing shows up on the diagnostic and they cannot determine the issue to this very dangerous problem. The problem happens while the car is in motion and can happen anytime regardless of speed, location, or what the car is doing. It happens repeatedly, approximately every 3 weeks.
As I was driving my car on the interstate, all of my lights came on and then it completely shut off. I tried to start it multiple times, and then when it finally started up again, the whole engine was shaking and made my mufflers rattle as well. Then it completely shut off again. I have a new battery, fresh oil change, and my car has been checked for issues and none were found. My engine has quivered every now and then since I bought it in June of 2016, it is a 2013. Something needs done, the company needs to issue a recall because there are multiple complaints of the same issue. I did contact the Chrysler company and made them aware of my situation.

The electrical system keeps draining the battery which makes the car stall in the middle of operation. This has happened on the roadway and is a major safety issue.
While driving the car on the highway, the car dies and has to be jumped. The jump only makes it a short distance before shutting of again. All the lights come on, on the dash and shut the car off
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
No check engine light, pressing on brake pedal while at a stop sign or red light, automobile stalls. Put it in park and restart, RPM range varies. Use brakes too much RPM increases need to stop vehicle and restart to get better RPM and dashboard blinks for the mileage
Adjusted the electrical mirror then shortly after adjustment smoke started to roll out from under the buttons of the window controllers and melted them slightly (driver and passenger front window buttons) the vehicle was in motion and then stationary due to we had to exit the vehicle due to be overcome with smoke. We were turning off a highway to a residential street. We then was able to get back into the car when there was little smoke and continue 1/2 mile to the home were staying at. Window's will not roll up or down now. Due to the smoke, I am afraid to drive my vehicle back to Michigan from Wisconsin in a week. Also, the front passenger seat belt does not lock onto the restraint lock. Why did it not blow a fuse before it started smoking?
