Everything was fine I get my oil changed regularly, I get fluid top offs, I keep it well maintained. The other day while driving on the freeway my car slowly started to die out, the rpm was hitting at 4-5 but my speed was only 30 mph. This is my only vehicle I'm my mother's soul provider, taking her to after chemo check ups, to her liver doctor appointments. I was told this car has this problem alot. I was hoping something could be done to help me out..
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.
As I was driving down a slight slope while braking to try to come to a stop, the car died / shut off. Within the few seconds that I was trying to slow to a stop, the brakes stopped working, various lights turned on the Dash (I can't remember which), and then the car shut off entirely. If there was a car or something in front of me, I would not have been able to stop because the brakes weren't working. This problem has been reported numerous times through various online forums/sites. There was no warning, message, or other symptom to indicate this would happen. This car also has stalling issues that has been complained of by other Chrysler 200 owners as well. Both stalling and shutting off poses a serious concern to all drivers.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to upshift out of the first gear. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated.

My 2013 Chrysler 200 has stalled or shut off completely while driving. The steering wheel and brakes lock up and the car just stops running. There are never any warnings or lights ahead of time to indicate there is any problem. The car simply just shuts off while driving and will not start back up right away. After sitting for about an hour untouched, the car will start right up and run fine until it happens again. No mechanic can diagnose it because there are no lights or codes to run to say what the issue is. My third time this happened, I was in a busy intersection attempting to make a turn and was almost t-boned when my car couldn't move out of the intersection. After the car shuts down and I attempt to restart right away, all the lights on the dash light up, but none stay on once the car stops cranking or even when the car does actually start up again. This is very dangerous for myself and any one else I may have in my car with me. I am a mother and I do not feel safe ever having my kids in my car with me. I've read online that this has happened to so many others but no recall will ever be done to fix this issue.
Car is not picking up speed when your in drive, jerks badly, cuts off in the middle of driving, keeps killing the battery, drives about 5 miles an hr the max. Car has been at the chrysler dealership for over 6 months and it is still not fixed. They are saying that it's still doing the same thing as when I brought it in. Nothing is being Done to resolve the issues
Chyrlser 200 4cyl sedan. When driving on the freeway the car doesn't shift to the proper gear. The rpms would be between 6000-7000 and couldn't get over 60 mph. It has happened twice in the past month. The check engine light showed up the second time with a code P0882 transmission control module.
In July 2019, my 2013 Chrysler 200, that I purchased brand new in 2014 just stopped. Wouldn't go forward or backward. I was stuck in the middle of the road on a steep hill. I went from 45 mph to nothing without any warning. No warning lights ever came on and the car wasn't acting any different than it had the million times I had taken it to the dealership for it being jerky when taking off. They repeatedly told me there were no issues found and the car was fine. I was and still am the soul owner of this car that didn't even have 85,000 miles on it. I spoke with Chrysler several times about my warranty and the now bad transmission. They told me to take it to the closest Chrysler dealership. Which I had it towed there since the car was no longer drivable. I was contacted a few days later by the service department telling me it was, in fact the transmission and would need a new transmission. This car was out of warranty by 30 days give or take and was still under warranty by miles. But since it's an either-or warranty, I was now out of a car that I had paid almost $30,000 for, unless I wanted to go in half with Chrysler and pay them an additional $2113.44 to replace or fix the current transmission. The transmission is a closed transmission but didn't require any service until 96,000 miles per the owner's manual. Had I had, my then 9-month-old grandson with me when the car went from 45 mph to nothing and a vehicle had been behind me, we both could have been seriously injured or even killed. The car never gave any warning that there was an issue before there was an issue. I find this completely unsatisfactory as a parent, nana, and quite frankly a human. Had I known of this website when this happened, I would have reported it then! hope you are able to make this kind of situation not happen to someone else.
All of sudden I felt a jolt in the gear shift and then I lost power steering and I couldn't step on the gas to accelerate. So I pulled over the best I could, on the highway going 55 mph. I shut the car off and when I turned it back on after giving it a couple minutes it was turning over but not turning on. The engine was completely stalled. No warning lights or check engine lights. It was completely random. I had to call family to come pick me and my daughter up. After a few hours we came back a new tried it. It worked but after driving it an hour it did the same thing again. I checked the recalls for my car and their isn't, however when I read up on forums and my car has the same issues as the other 2013 Chrysler 200S. With engine stalling and greater possibility of an engine fire. I think the make and model of the vehicle needs to be investigated. I had my toddler in the car and it was frightening. I'm diligent about keeping up maintenance on my vehicles and if any inclination and or warning I would've been at the mechanic.
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

After a few months of having dtc come up for evap and misfire then disappear just a quick as it came up, my vehicle has recently began stalling out while driving, specifically while decelerating or idling. The battery was replaced 2 years ago and tests good every time, as does the alternator, starter, wires, connectors and sensors. Nobody can find any dtc on the obdii or anything else. It's easy to replicate but impossible to decide why. I've talked to the dealership about possible recalls from 2012 concerning the PCM as well as chatted with a few people on the Chrysler website and nobody wants to help. This is a very serious situation, as I can prove with video from my dash cam and back up cam. The people on the Chrysler website were very rude, and the dealership was not willing to stand behind the product either without charging $300 just to diagnose. It's says right on the website "what is a safety recall? safety recalls include any problem encountered with an fca us product related to the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety of the occupants. Fca us llc will correct the problem, at no charge, even if the vehicle is out of warranty and you are not the original owner." As well as "recall faqs fca us regards the safety and security of our customers and their families as paramount. Please see our list of faqs below to learn more about recalls and the precautions we take to keep you safe. If you don't see your concern listed, chat with usand one of our representatives will help answer any questions you may have." The recall I refer to is the tech bulletin 18-102-16A with the exact same symptoms "-2-
