My power windows won't go up at times. When my driver side window rolls up then the passenger side window won't roll up and vice versa. When my passenger side window works fine the driver side window won't roll up. The electrical problem has caused my cigarette lighters and charger ports in my car to stop working! it happens whether sitting still or moving. The window wash that window cleaner comes out of keeps getting clogged.
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

Takata recall the wiper connector under the hood broke. I have had the car for 5 years brand new and ever other year something is breaking on this car. Why? my wiper sprayer does not work. I am disappointed by the money I have spent in paying the car note and replacing parts. In June of 2018 I had to replace the alternator...I work so hard to purchase a car that I can depend on for transportation for me and my children's safety, did I pick the wrong company for that.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. When the contact turned on the heat in the vehicle, only the driver's side would heat up, not the passenger side. The failure prevented the window on the driver's side from defrosting and made it hard for the contact to see. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that cold air was coming from the passenger side vent when the defogger was activated, which prevented the windshield from defrosting. The vehicle was not taken toa a thermostat was clogged with glue. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched the failure online and found that the glue that was used in the manufacturing process melted and clogged the defogger lines. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000. The VIN was not available.
The defroster and heater only blow cold air, they no longer blow any warm or hot air, with the temperature controls on maximum heat. The heater core is blocked with sludge. When the car was manufactured, the coolant was mixed with a machining oil that is designed to plug any pinholes that develop in the radiator. Over time, this additive causes sludge to form in the coolant. That sludge blocks the heater core. Flushing the cooling system does no good. Chrysler has been advising dealership service advisors to replace the radiator, heater core, oil cooler, and overflow tank to solve the problem. This is common on 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chrysler 200's. the pictures I have attached show the sludge in the overflow tank that forms in the cooling system and blocks the heater core. The plugged heater core prevents the front windshield defroster from working, creating hazardous and dangerous blocked visibility with the front windshield fogging over, particularly during winter months. Additionally, snow or ice precipitation buildup on the windshield can not be melted while the car is being operated.

Heat on the passenger side of the vehicle is blowing lukewarm/cold therefore not defrosting the windshield and passenger window. There's an issue with the thermostats on this particular vehicle where a sludge is building up in them thus causing them to malfunction.

This vehicle does not drive properly. The rpms run high and many times does not shift out of 5 gear while driving at high speeds. I have complained about this since I bought the vehicle, however have been told "that is how this car drives", "it is ok to red line your car". after several complaints the dealership GM finally agreed there was something wrong and the "flashed" my car. After that I was getting 30 mpg highway and it was shifting without me having to take my foot of the gas. Less then 5,000 miles later it is back to the way it was. Dealership now says it is fine, yet I am averaging on the interstate 22 - 25 mpgs. I am so frustrated with the service I am receiving.
The headlamps on this vehicle, on low beam, project light that is inadequate for speeds above 30-35 mph, especially on rural roads. You simply cannot see more than approximately 40 yards in front of the car. Extremely unsafe for night driving.
