catastrophic engine failure

I bought car used in 2014, it was 100% reliable in 3 years only issue a flat tire. Till 6-13-17 when on way to work it took fit and died. Diagnostic is locked engine and Chrysler engineering has been contacted. Now if car runs 100% then takes fit and dies at 77 K this has to be a manufactures defect! I maintain my cars my other is a 2001 vehicle still running fine

200 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

My husband was driving in the fast lane on the expressway with out 3 grandchildren in the car and the engine just shut off...they all could have been killed had he not manage to coast the vehicle onto the side of the road...took a trip to take my granddaughter to college 2 hours away and the engine again shut off while driving...because of this malfunction I have to stop driving my car and this is outrageous because I am afraid something will happen to my family if we continue driving. This has happened to us at least 5 times and we have sit for at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before the car starts again.

200 Limited 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,500 miles

We have been very happy with our 2013 Chrysler 200, 3.6L V6. We have 12,500 miles on the car. This month we are experiencing a stalling problem at slow speeds when getting ready to stop. I checked on line to see if there were any recalls on my 200. There is an NHTSA Campaign Number 13V043000 (Feb 06,2013) that is categorized as Fuel System, Gasoline. This may be the issue but the Chrysler Dealer did not aknowledge this as a recall for my vehicle. This recall is for a gas tank that has a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. I think that my problem with the car is one that was discovered two years ago on 2011 Chrysler 200 with 3.6L V6 engines.

My car has shut off when idling or coming to a stop without a warning sign and no dash indicator light. I turned the key to off and restarted the engine. It started right away and I believe that it let me start it while it was still in drive. My car has stalled (4) times in the last week. The NHTSA opened an investigation into stalling problems on June 22, 2012. It covered an estimated 87,288 vehicles. Chrysler announced they had identified a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) defect in their 3.6L engines. The PCM was initiating a purge monitor check while the engine was at idle or slowing down. The Purge resulted in an "overly rich vapor condition that caused the engine to stall". Chrysler developed a software patch which reprograms the PCM. The patch was released as part of a "customer satisfaction program" in September 2012. The NHTSA closed the investigation and did not force Chrysler to issue a recall because Chrysler classified the problem as "LOW RISK".

IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE THE PCM ISSUE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE 2013 MODEL YEAR. Hope you can help elevate this problem.

200 Limited 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission

engine turns off when stopped or slow down

This is really bad problem, how can a car just tuen off by itself? I have a 1999 infinity with 250000 miles and has not a single problem. Chrysler is going to kill someone if they dont do something fast!
