Takata recall last time I was driving on the freeway going 70 miles per hour and the vehicle suddenly lost power with a semi truck right behind me and I had to swerve off of the road to avoid being hit and nearly causing an accident I do not feel safe in this vehicle and I'm in fear for my life
While idling, driving at low speeds or in park, the car randomly stalls. Also while using the remote start, after turning the car on, it stalls. I have had several things replaced on the car, but it still randomly stalls.
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. It stalled on me while I was going 55 mph and the lanes were so tight I almost couldn't get to the side of the road without getting hit and when I finally did the lanes were so close that I couldn't park on the side of the road for safety without being terrified someone going to come down the hill and not see me and hit me. Also I was just doing a beach cruise one time and it stalled on me I had to park and wait like a hour and 30 minutes for help. Another time I was doing a right turn onto my house and the engine just shut off so I had to make a wide right turn with barely any steering power could've been a major accident. The car just loses it power and shuts off without any warning. I've gotten a diagnostics and nothing showed wrong with the car, but there is something wrong. I've seen many of the same problems people are having online and the problem is not getting fixed at all. I'm seeing people replace fuel pumps, starters, batteries, alternators and no fix for the stalling just wasting money. Thousands of people online on sites are struggling with this car. People cars are stalling on them and are almost getting them killed. Chrysler is not doing anything to help these people, no recalls on the car and people are taking their cars to the dealership and wasting money because the problem still occurs even after the dealership. Really sad there needs to be something done with these cars my life is in danger and I'm only 19 years. The Chrysler 200 needs to be recalled very dangerous car
Torque converter stopped working properly causing the car to stall while at slow speeds and breaking. This could be in urban and rural settings. Any example of slowing down, stopping, yielding, etc. Upon diagnostics it was found the torque converter needed to be replaced, as well as a pump (which one was not specified by the service E team) starting in early to mid October 2018

Ever since I purchased this vehicle in July, 2017, the check engine light keeps coming on with the message "gascap" showing on the odometer. I have taken it to be checked numerous times, and no one can figure out what the problem is. I've also replaced the gascap three times. I don't see where the vehicle was brought in in 2013 on the car fax report for fuel tank problem recall. Can you please help me? I never received a recall notice for this since I just bought the car in 2017.

My vehicle will cut off/stall while driving, losing speed control. This has happened more than I can count. On residential street, main highways, and freeways while doing speeds up to 70mph. If I am able to pull over to safety I would attempt to start the vehicle and it would crank but wouldn't turn over. After 2hrs the vehicle would start. I've taken it into several dealerships to be diagnosed and they wouldn't be able to duplicate the issue. The dealership hooked up a tracker and said it was one thing and fixed it and the problem is still happening. First incident was mothers day May 2017
Car acts as if it does want to accelerate. Makes a thumping jerking motion will driving. It'seems most noticeable while interstate driving hard hesitation trying time accelerate. Since purchased in September 2012 always drives sluggish on city highway; thumping was noticeable-chased it up to learning a new vehicle. Thumbing getting harder and frequent....like fast "thump jerk, thumb jerking, thump jerk"-. I always have plenty of gas. It happens with 87 or 89 octane.
Car would not start. The lights worked, aaa came and checked plugs other things under the hood and reset the fuel pump button. It stil would not start. They towed it to a repair shop, who put a new fuel pump in. Exactly 30 days later, the same thing happened. A different tow truck driver came, tried the same things and towed it to the shop. Shop owners said it is starting fine; but wanted to keep it over the weekend to try to figure out what is happening. While this did occur after the car had been sitting for a few hours, I am concerned that it will happen on the road. The first time it happened, I was at the emergency room at the hospital, and it had been sitting in the parking lot for about three hours. Last week, it just did not start one morning. The night before, I was driving with a friend in the car, and I told her something didn't sound right- but I kept driving. There is a clicking noise that seems to be coming from the ac/heater vents that may be unrelated. The first incident was 6/20/17 and the second on 7/20/17.
Engine stopped while waiting at red light and would not start back up. All lights radio ect.. were working. Car had gas. Got a hotshot, car started back up. The next day go to start car and it wouldn't start. 2days work missed. Upset$?!!

The car keeps stalling in traffic, get an engine jump then stalls. Chryslers techs can't even figure it out. Also stalls on freeways and is going to get someone killed. From what I see it's happening in these cars from 2012 to 2015 models everywhere. I'm very sick of going to the dealer and paying hundreds of dollars because of course it's always something not covered under warranty, how convenient. Then either right away or a month later the same issue occurs and get worse and worse. This needs to be addressed immediately.
At approximately 41,000 miles, wiring harness to fuel pump shorts out near fuel pump end, causing electrical arcing at fuel components. Entire wiring harness to fuel pump must be replaced due to damage. Overload (fuse box) system failed to mitigate damage. Arcing and fire could have caused further damage or explosion. Vehicle was on a city street when it simply stopped working. Vehicle is currently at putnam Chrysler in burlingame, ca, where it was diagnosed with the defect. Documentation in possession of the dealer.
On approximately 7/14/15, upon accelerating from a stopped position, my Chrysler 200 hesitated on take off. I had to take my foot off the gas pedal and slowly try accelerating again, still with hesitation, but finally taking off. There was slight hesitation as my vehicle was accelerating, then the fuel seemed to catch up. This has occurred several times randomly since 7/14/15. I took my car to the dealership on 7/23/15 as it is still under manufacturers warranty, explained the situation, and they said they found no problems, that "no codes" showed up on the computer. This problem appears to effect the engine, fuel/propulsion system and speed control. I was very concerned each time this happened of being involved in a car accident. I will continue to be concerned until this problems is resolved. I intend to take it back to the dealership for further investigation into this problem.
Oct 2014 I remote started my car. My grandson was in the car, when I came outside I smelled a strong odor of gasoline. Gas fumes was coming through the vents and gas was leaking, took to olathe Dodge they supposedly fixed it. 3 fuel injectors and loose hose. Jan 2014, same thing happened I was driving down the road this time a loud clang, strong gas fumes came through the vents and I parked and had it towed back to olathe Dodge. They fixed again. I got my car back and took it 2 blocks and it was smoking blue/black smoke really bad, I took it back to olathe Dodge. They called me 6 days later and said it was fixed, I took off work to pick it up got in the car the engine light was back on and could still smell gas. They kept the car and gave me rental and called back 7 days later. This time it was fixed. On Feb 17, I was going to hospital to see my new grandson, I got off work started driving and the gas fumes were back in my car. I kept driving to the hospital with the window down about 2 inches because gas fumes coming through vents. I left my car at hospital and called olathe Dodge. They said to bring it down to them. I drove it to olathe knowing that the fumes was coming through the vents. On Feb 18th I went to dr. Because my face was swollen and red. The dr. Said that I was walking in the cold, which caused me to get wind burned. I work in doors. I called poison control to see what I can do. They said that I should not get back in that car until it is fixed because that is dangerous. This is the 6th time that they tried to fix it. Everyone told me that this car is a lemon. I love my car and had high hopes that they would fix it. I have 3 grandbabies that ride with me in my car. What if this car catches on fire.. I would not be able to get my 1, 2, and 3 year old grand babies out of their carseats fast enough... god forbid... please help me.
