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.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle shuts off while driving at any given time. It started about 4 months ago while I was on the freeway in the fast lane. No warning lights or sounds came on. I costed over to the left shoulder because it was rush hour. When I tried to restart it, it sounded like it was stalling and I couldn't jump it either. It was like the engine got hot even though the gauge didn't say it was. After I let it set for about 30 minutes it started right back up. I thought it was a one time thing, but it's been doing it a lot more and I've had to sit and wait for longer periods of time. I searched online and found the symptoms of what it's doing and it appears there was a recall and investigation about the issue. If I remember correctly there was over 13,000 vehicles recalled for the powertrain module or something like that but when I searched my vehicle it says no recall.
Driving down the street and the car just stalls out of nowhere with no warning and then after a while will restart mechanic has no idea what could be wrong
Multiple times the engine power steering and brake assistance will go out without warning. This has happened at intersections and has also happened on an extremely busy highway where I was nearly hit multiple times. When this happens the car will not start up immediately. After waiting approximately 30 minutes the car will finally restart again. I have taken it to the dealership and they cannot replicate the issue nor can they provide a solution.
Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.

Purchased car 8/03/21. Got full possession of car 8/18/21. The car shuts off while driving and backing up with no warning. It shuts off when you press on the brakes. When you come to a complete stop and then press on the accelerator, the car hesitates to move, then moves very slowly, jerks then starts to move at a normal pace. Engine light comes on continuously.
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.
Head rest deployed on it's own and there was no accident, no bags were deployed, and the car was parked. Went to a dealer and he was no help.the thing is I did nothing T cause it to deploy. If I were driving it would have cause a accident by hittig my head.
My car quits on me while driving on the highway. Especially while slowing down. No warning lights or signs. This is very dangerous and scary! I took it to a Chrysler dealer they couldn't figure out what's wrong with it I've had this car since 2014. I always kept my car up. I don't understand what's wrong with it.
My engine keeps stalling when I decelerate or come to a complete stop. It has done this multiple times in just one week and it's very dangerous. I slowed down on I-77 due to something laying in the highway and my engine shut off. I had to hurt and put it in neutral to crank it back up. Thank god it crunk it in time to keep me from being hit by another vehicle or semitrailer truck.
2013 Chrysler 200 limited stalls out while driving. Started Sept. 2019, and has happen (eight times) almost monthly or every 500 miles. No warning- no power steering; no power brakes. After stalling- car cranks and can take up to 1-2 hrs before engine will turn over again. I have taken vehicle to four separate mechanics; including Chrysler dealership and not one has been able to diagnose problem. Also, car does not throw any codes. I have replaced the battery; fuel pump and had PCM update and vehicle still stalling out while driving.
My Chrysler 200 will not always start. I have taken it to a few different mechanics and no one can figure out why. It is intermittent when the problem occurs. I have had diagnostic testing done and no errors are ever found. Battery and starter have been tested and they pass with flying colors. Also the heat on the passenger side does not work. I've also had that looked at by the dealership I purchased my vehicle from and they could not find the reason why it doesn't work. I have checked recall status and nothing comes up for my vehicle. Very frustrating!!!
I had 4 wheel alignment done on my 2013 Chrysler 200 as the wheel was pulling, shook at certain speed and steering wheel was not straight. Those problems were corrected but now I have a clunking sound coming from the left front sounds like under gas and brake pedals. Also when car is in park and you turn steering wheel you hear a noise, so maybe the clunking comes when moving steering while driving but this is a very annoying noise and if you look up this year car on utube the video describes the noise exactly. This car has less than 40,000 miles on it. I will be checking with Chrysler dealership in morning to see if there were any bulletins on my car for this annoying clunking sound.
Heat only comes out on the driver side of the vehicle. It comes out really cold in the passages. The heater core was replaced last year be the dealer and it's doing it again. I was sitting a light and when it turned green I tried to go than it wouldn't go than it jumped forward and it went. I got a little down the road than it slowed down and it was almost like driving in neutral wouldn't pick up speed at all. It stopped moving again than it wouldn't go at all the cops had to help me push it to the side of the road.
Vehicle stalls/shuts off while driving making it very difficult to stear and brake. I was drving at 70 milies per hour when it suddently shut off almost causing an accident.
On the heat, the vent on the left of the drivers side gets nice and warm, the next vent to the right of the drivers side, gets not as warm, the next vent to the left of the passengers side very cool, and the next vent to the right of the drivers side very cold.
Approximately 2 months after purchasing my 2013 Chrysler 200 ltd (6-cyl.; mileage approx. 79K), the car began randomly losing power and stalling out while I was driving. When this occurred, I only had a few seconds to slowly coast to the side of the road to get off the highway. The car would not restart, and I had to call a wrecker. This has now happened 5 times. All of my trips were local when the engine stalls occurred, and each stall came without any warning while I was simply cruising down a highway or a city street, and not traveling up or down any significant slopes. When the car engine died, the dashboard indicators all illuminated while the engine was dying. I have had Chrysler service respond to the scene immediately to get diagnostics, and the car is not throwing out any diagnostic codes. When the engine dies, it can be restarted after the car sits for awhile... maybe a few hours. The PCM (computer) was replaced and all software patches have been installed, but that didn't fix the problem. The car has been in the Chrysler dealership repair shop over a month now, while they wait hopefully for a technical wizard to impart exploratory repair magic over their star network. I sure would like to have my car back....working. I was fortunate to have been able to get my car off the road on the occasions that it died. I could have been in a very dangerous situation otherwise. It is noted that NHTSA closed their investigation of this problem with the Chrysler 200, shortly after a software patch was released in Sept. 2012.
Gear shifter gets stuck and won't shift from park to reverse or drive. Makes a clicking noise several times and then will shift. Seems this could be dangerous in drive mode if it slips out of gear. I am entering a date below but has happened several times. Over 20 in the last year. Seems to be worse when cold but not necessarily only when cold.
