I was driving pulled over to go tan, came back & my car would not start! Took my car to Firestone. They ran a bunch of codes and found out it had something to do with the TIPM in my car!

Lovely car, but several electrical issues and computer problems. Car won't start! Interior lights will not go off. Windshield wipers randomly turn-on when using the turn signal or just turning the steering wheel. I bought this car less than a month ago, and wish I could have the dealer take it back. My extended warranty also would not cover computer related issues. Guess I'm stuck with a lemon wish Chrysler would buy it back......

200 Touring 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,000 miles

Drove to work. Went to leave to go to another building and car will not start, just makes a chattering sound. The car was checked by an auto tech who at first thought it was out of gas, but that was not the problem. However, the car is not getting fuel. Throwing a code indicating that it was getting too much oxygen. Final results are pending. 58,000 miles.

Car is junk as any mechanic will tell you from New York to Texas. Front driver window stopped working randomly and car also lost all power with no warning previously.

Update from Mar 12, 2015: So I put in a call to Chrysler and emailed them. I was told that the car HAD to go to a Chrysler dealer to have it diagnosed and than they might be able to help. So we had the car towed . It had already been looked at by a well qualified mechanic who could not pin point the exact issue but there is an issue with the fuel system. I was told by 2 different people that Chrysler might help with this but the car had to go back to a Chrysler dealer first.

So there it is. Now I have lost days of work and paid a tow truck.

And this morning before anyone at the Chrysler service center has looked at my car I find an email sent to me last night telling me that if it's not under warranty I am on my own. So my car is there and broken with known issues and recalls for the exact same thing all around this model and I am on my own to cover the cost, If it wasn't a known issue that would not be such a problem.

Update from Mar 12, 2015: Fuel pump...gone..

This isn't the first time I had the same issue with this car, it's been in the shop a number of times, only it not start there. They told me it was fixed but yet the same issue keeps coming up. Has gone as far as the company sending a "special tech" to fix the problem, however, yesterday it didn't start yet again. I called the tow company to come pick it up and take it to the dealership. Let you know if the pit in a recording device, like they claimed they would if this happen again.

200 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles

Came home from work and parked in driveway. Took lunch bag in and got husband and went back out to the car. It would not start. We had just bought the car in Mar 2012 and this was approximately Apr or May and we had only a few miles on it. Mostly drove to work. Called dealership and they told me to try it again. Said if it didn't start they would send a tow truck. I went out started it and we immediately took it to the dealership. This was about 3:30. About 6:00 p.m. they said they had called the engineers some in the mid-west and would need to keep the car over the weekend. Since the car rental places they normally use were closed, they gave us a used car off the lot. When we picked up the car they said they had to put it on some machine and "recalibrate" something. (I'm a female senior citizen & don't know a a lot about car terminology.) This was supposed to be our last car. It's been in several times for this problem and others since we bought the car. Last year they told us our problems were just because we didn't have enough mileage on it and there was only one other lady with the same problem and not enough mileage. What bull!!! See my other complaints.
