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.

Engine failure, speed control doesn't work, car keeps cutting off, does not pick up speed, jerks really bad, shifts gears by it self at times, air bags are recalled, the car has been at the chrysler dealership for over 6 months they keep saying different things are wrong with it not sure completely what the issues are just know a few. I was told the car is still jerking and cutting off which was the problem when I brought the car in they are charging me almost $800 for work done and was promised the car would be fixed but the car still has the same exact issues from the moment I brought it in. And being told it is still not drivable after being worked in by Chrysler mechanics for over 6 months.
My headrests were replaced due to a recall however, once they were replaced my check airbag light has come on and will not go off. I was brushed off and told that it would turn off after a day or so. It has not and now I'm being told (by the dealership) that I can bring it in however, I'll be charged $500 to repay and replace. I had no issues or indication prior to my headrest being replaced leading me to believe that this is no fault of my own. This is a safety hazard and the lack of concern from dealerships service department has been not only disheartening but had me very concerned about the safety of my family and myself serving my only means of transportation in fear that should I be an accident, will my airbags deploy.
Car loss all power while driving down a city street in motion could not steer or do nothing would not crank up after about 10 minutes it started right up.this has happened 5 times while driving very dangerous. This has been going on for about a year. The last time it did this is February 18, 2021.
On 6/16/2018, I was involved in a highway accident when traveling South and a deer ran out across from the North side of the highway crashing right into the front drivers side of my vehicle then flew up in the and crashed down right threw my windshield while I was traveling at a rate of speed of 50 mph. I was severely injured since my seatbelts failed to restrain me and none of my airbags deployed at the time of the accident. However, months after vehicle was repaired following deer collision the airbag spontaneously deployed and I suffered secondary injury. I need some answers on why I wanted notified about the recall before now. I just received the letter regarding recall on the vehicle's airbags and seatbelts two years later! this is unacceptable. I have plenty of photos however need to upload, please contact me. Thank you
After starting my car, a light on dash warns of a airbag issue. Also the menu on the steering wheel is not working. It's on, but stuck on the tire pressure screen.
The passenger side active headrest restraint (ahr) deployed despite the car being parked and unoccupied. The headrest was poorly manufactured as a plastic piece inside the headrest cracked and therefore jolted forward the headrest on it's own. The car was otherwise in good condition but the faulty headrest presents a major safety hazard as it could deploy while driving down the road or could have caused neck/head trauma if a passenger had been in the car.
Reference recall P60 for alternator diode issue. The complaint vehicle has an intermittent issue with a dead short to ground condition within the alternator. Vehicle running will intermittently dead short to ground. The vehicle shuts off unexpectedly in this condition and the battery and electrical system is completely shorted and nonfunctional. In this condition I removed the electrical connection to the alternator and voltage was restored. Replaced the cable and observed the short condition again. It is very disturbing that the scope of this issue was not adequately defined initially. I have escalated this to fca directly and was provided with a reference number of: 76150991, they have said that there is nothing they can do and the repair is out-of-pocket until Chrysler engineering to the NHTSA makes a different decision. I truly believe there are several people who will unknowingly replace the battery and start driving again, putting their lives and others on the road at risk.
I got a 2013 Chrysler 200 from mega auto outlet in stafford, va.3-30-20 and tried to take it back to mega auto outlet. I called the dealership the next day about why there wasn't a inspection sticker on the windshield and why was there some much noise from the rear. The salesman then told me that there was a inspection sticker on the windshield and told him there wasn't and I was going to bring the car back because it was illegal to sell a car without a inspection sticker. But he refused to take the car back and said to me if I was to bring the car back that the police would there and not to bring car back. I took to local garage to find out what was wrong with the car because it was making noises in the rear of car and the airbag light was on. I found tout that there was all kinds of problems with the 2013 Chrysler 200 and it was unsafe to drive. I don't know what else to do?
