Takata recall. This has happened repeatedly over the past 2 years. While driving my car, my front and rear lights stop working. Hazards and blinkers included. Today, it lasted nearly 9 hours. I went to O reileys and auto zone to have my car tested. I am a mom of 4 girls, so they took sympathy and tried to help. Couldn't find what the issue was, I was told to go to a Chrysler dealership and have it looked over. I don't have the income to pay a mechanic. While waiting in line at my daughters school, the right front light decided to work and my back rear left light decided to work. Then lights came back on and ac stopped blowing cold air. My cars dash board repeatedly kept letting me know which lights weren't working. Check engine light never came on. It was terrifying.

While driving my vehicle in the dark when headlights are on low beam there is no gradual falling off of the light. They light up the road for a few yards ahead and the light immediately ends. It is like there is a wall that stops the light abruptly, I feel very unsafe driving this car after dark and my husband does also. Adjusting lights does not help it is the design. On Oct 14, 2015 a deer ran into the side of my car because I was driving with low beams on I never saw her in the road.

On October 28th, 2014 I dropped my car off at the dealership for repair with complaints of electrical issues. The alarm was performing with unpredictable tendencies and was not disarming in order to enter the car. After driving a rental for two weeks that came out of my pocket the dealership claimed that they could not duplicate the problem in order to fix it.I was forced to take the car back knowing that the problem was not fixed.the random electrical problems progressed and the car ignition began having serious issues. Once the key was turned to 'off ' the car would restart and the indicator light would say 'key in ignition' although the key had been removed from the ignition. I would have to turn and hold the key to the 'on' position for several seconds before the car would turn over. On December 15th, 2014 I attempted to put the key into the ignition and the engine did not turn over at all.I removed the key from the ignition and the engine began to make the sounds as if it was going to turn over at least 10 times while the key was out of the ignition. On January 15th, 2015 I received a call from the service rep at the dealership. He said that he was advised by my case manager at Chrysler customer care to call and tell me that I had to come and pick up my car although the problem had not been resolved. The service rep said that they had replaced the tipm (totally integrated power module), the battery, and the clock that flickers yet the electrical issues repeated even after the replacement of the tipm. He continued to say that the Chrysler engineers did not know how to fix the problem. This car is still within the formal lemon law rights period 'and I am asking Chrysler for appropriate action in a timely manner.
While driving the vehicle on several occasions the hazard lights would turn on without the button being pressed. After that 1st incident it's happened more often than not and other drivers are thinking that we need to pull over when we don't. I'm not sure what the cause of this is, but it's a new vehicle and if this continues it's going to cause me possibly getting a ticket with law enforcement. Which is something I'm going to pursue Chrysler paying because this is a major problem for me.

(this is a resubmission of complaint # 10649389 to which I added lighting and corrected the VIN) and the speed that the squealing and squeaking occur are from 15 to 0 mph. 2013 200 limited V6 the brakes squeal from what has been blamed on corrosion, the first in my 20+ cars. The dealer did a resurfacing and added a squeak to the squeals. Now at 37K miles I have to suffer to watch pedestrians turn and look to see what all the noise is when I am coming to a stop at lights. After reading the complaints about headlights I now know why the on-coming cars are always flashing me, the lights are angled up to counter act the issue. On the upside, otherwise would have dumped this heap, the gas mileage is great on the highway only and it is a good riding vehicle for 23K new.
At night 8 pm driving South on I-4 to tampa in rainstorm. Heavy traffic with rain and water off other cars and trucks. Traffic speed 60 mph. Headlights stopped working. Repeatedly turned headlights on and off to try to get them on again. Most of the time you could see the parking lights go on but not the headlights. Twice the headlights flashed on for less than 1/4 second before turning off. After driving 10 miles to the nearest exit and exited I-4 and stopped the car. At this time it was only drizzling and no spray from other cars or trucks. Turned the headlights off again and on and this time they stayed on for the last 50 miles where we had only drizzle and no spray from any cars or trucks. Drove the car another 200 miles but never in anything but mild drizzle but always in the daylight but could not tell any malfunction. Will return to enterprise today and report incident to them.
On the drivers side headlight at night after 75 feet their is a black shadow. Leaving you blind when driving thru streets and hillside at night. Traveling at 75 mph on highway leaves no time to stop. Have taken into dealer and told that Chrysler says this is normal will not fix even though they feel it is a hazard. Talked with other owner they also say it is a problem for them and have quit driving at night. Have a printout from Chrysler stating the above.
