As I was doing 70 mph on the hwy my car started slowing down to 30 mph and would not pick up speed, the symbols that came on the car were for the electronic throttle control and the electronic stability control. I pulled over and turned the car off and after a minute or so, I restarted the car and continued on, after being able to drive only a few feet, it started again. Once I made it home, I let the car sit overnight and when I drove into work this morning after 14 minutes on the hwy, it started again.
I have a 2013 Chrysler 200, it has roughly 70,000 miles, as I was accelerating onto the highway the vehicle would not go over 40-50 mph. I was almost rear-ended because everyone was trying to get onto the highway. I couldn't pull over because of it being over a bridge. When I went to pull over the car stalled and would not start until the 3rd or 4th try. The car is practically brand new there is no way this should be having this problem. As I am reading many of the other complaints this seems to be pretty common in this vehicle & year.
My car just had the etc light and electronic stability light come on and the car loses horsepower. From my research online this seems to be a common issue with them.
While operating vehicle at normal speeds on streets and highways, the electronic stability control and check engine lights engage on the dash indicating a malfunction of the electronic stability control at 23,000 miles. Vehicle become sluggish in drivetrain performance.

I was proceeding to get on the interstate highway when I noticed that I was pressing the gas, but the car was not accelerating. I looked down and two lights were on, the stability control light and the throttle body light. I just purchased this car on 9/9/2015 used. Another time before that, I was driving home from work and my radio powers off and where my mileage is it says no fuse. When I got home I tried to lock my car with the keypad, but I couldn't. I had to lock it manually. I mean I have had more problems with this car since I had it.
The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 200. While accelerating, the vehicle jerked to the right without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but no diagnostic testing was performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000. Updated 7/1/15
I bought this car September 14 2013. With in a week it was in the shop due to alignment issues and other cosmetic issues, fixed cosmetic issues and did an alignment on the car with in 4 days the alignment went out again was back in the shop again and underwent another alignment had the car back for about 4 days again alignment was off again and during a drive to Michigan the floor got hot. The next day the floor got hot again and the car shut off. I had to take it to the shop again. After another 5 days the alignment was out again. They but it on the road force and the alignment was fixed. Now my car shakes, the engineer at Chrysler said its the tires, replaced tired and it still shakes. This car is unsafe for my family and is a nightmare on trying to get them to get me a new car. Thank you for listening.
