The heater coil has stop working on passengers side, from build up of sludge. It only blows hot air on driver side, not all the time. So I do not have a defrost to keep my windows clear so I do not good visibility. I have researched up on this issue and a lot of these cars have the same problem

My engine dies out while I am driving then after sitting for about 5 mins it starts back up. It's been checked by mechanics but none knows why this is happening. I am afraid I will have an accident, because when it happens it's hard to steer out of traffic. My car is a 2013 200 but I purchased it in 2015

On four separate occasions my 2013 Chrysler 200 shut off on me while driving. It appeared as if the engine was not getting any gas. When I tried to start the vehicle it sounded like it wanted to start but no gas was getting to the engine. I. had the vehicle towed to the shop put my vehicle on the computer and no issues was revealed. Each time that it shut off I had a full tank of gas to 3/4 of gas. I had to wait 45-60 minutes before the car would start again. On 3oct2019 I was driving home from work traveling 65 mph when the vehicle shut down on me on the interstate.

My vehicle shut down on the highway at a high rate of speed (70mph). My steering was also not working at the time. Was able to finally pull over. Restarted the vehicle and it was fine. This is very dangerous.

2013 Chrysler 200 3.6L V-6 80,000 miles. During the 2018 winter in noticed my car was not coming up to running temperature and no T getting good heat out of the vents on drivers and passenger vents. I changed the thermostat and noticed a lot of grit and what looks like dirt in the antifreeze, but now the car comes up to running temperature and now I get good heat out of driver side vent but not out of the passenger side vent. I have been doing some reading on Chrysler 200 forums and I see a lot of complaints of the same problems I am having and saying the cause in is that the heater core is plugged and is about $900 to $1200 to fix. Is Chrysler going to cover the cost of the repairs? the cause of the heater core being plugged is when to blocks were being pored and machined leaving sand and other debris in the blocks because they were not cleaned properly.

Vehicle was stationary. Went to turn on vehicle and the engine light starts flashing. It has never done that before and the vehicle is only used to driving back and forth to work. Got it checked out and found out the catalytic converter has gone bad and is very clogged.

4 different times, the car has just lost power while driving. I have had it to my mechanic 4 times and they cannot find an issue. This last time I was driving on the highway going 65mph and it just lost all power. I had to be pushed off the highway. This could have caused an accident. An hour later it started up and I drove it straight to my mechanic. It has happened 4 times in the last year.

I was driving in the middle of the street when the car just shut off completely. The car stall I had to call the tow truck and the police for help because I couldn't even put my emergency lights on. I waited for 2 hours and suddenly the car went back on. The car like if nothing ever happened. It was scary luck that I wasn't on the freeway with my children at that time.
