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.
As I was driving down a slight slope while braking to try to come to a stop, the car died / shut off. Within the few seconds that I was trying to slow to a stop, the brakes stopped working, various lights turned on the Dash (I can't remember which), and then the car shut off entirely. If there was a car or something in front of me, I would not have been able to stop because the brakes weren't working. This problem has been reported numerous times through various online forums/sites. There was no warning, message, or other symptom to indicate this would happen. This car also has stalling issues that has been complained of by other Chrysler 200 owners as well. Both stalling and shutting off poses a serious concern to all drivers.
Engine stops with no warning, making the power steering & brakes stop working. Mopar repair center could not duplicate the problem. When I picked it up, it happened in their parking lot while in my car waiting for it to warm up.
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?

While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. It has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. Luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine...until it doesn't again.

This is the second time in 2 years that I had to replace the alternator and battery on this car. I also had to replace fuses on this car. All the hazard lights came on battery light, hazard lights, all the lights in dashboard came on. Care accelerated slowly until it turned off. Couldn't drive
No check engine light, pressing on brake pedal while at a stop sign or red light, automobile stalls. Put it in park and restart, RPM range varies. Use brakes too much RPM increases need to stop vehicle and restart to get better RPM and dashboard blinks for the mileage
While driving at a rate of 50 mph, the hazard lights came on without touching the control to turn it on. When I touched the control, the lights would go off for a few seconds and return flashing. This continued to occur for the next 15 miles at which time, I pulled into a parking lot. When I turned the car off.. the hazard lights came on again and could not be cut off. Other strange things that have occurred is the ABS light coming on and then the car with traction streaks showing.
Every 3 to 6 months, my brakes start scrubbing and I have difficulty stopping my car when driving and as a result of frequent brake replacements. This has become extremely expensive. This issue started in 2014 and it has continued through 2018.
Break light comes on while driving. Stays on for 30secs and then shuts off. Happens when going around a sharp curve, down hill, or stopping abruptly. No check engine light comes on and no codes found. I have researched and seen this has been an ongoing issue with 200S for quite some time now, and there has been no fix. Break pads wear down at a much faster rate than normal. Even after break system has been flushed. Have not had an issue stopping the car, just the light comes on often. 2nd. Rack and pinion has gone out causing the car to lose power steering in 1 direction only. In my instance, I was only able to turn left normally and it was extremely difficult to turn right. Happened when I was parking the car and went to straighten up the wheel. Had the car towed to the dealership to be fixed.
It was my first time purchasing a car. I thought I was going to a legit business, North american auto group. They are rip offs. They sold me a car with a crack windshield and told me I had to fix it myself because they was not making much off the car for them to fix it, they told me they was unable to give me an inspection sticker because they don't do those, the brakes started to give out while I was driving and I went back to let them fix it. They said they do not do brakes and it's not included in my warranty, that's up to me to get changed on my own. Opening and closing the door has left me with a dent on the passenger side. The tires are horrible. The struts needs to be fixed and I need a wheel alignment. All of these things were suppose to be fixed before I even purchased the car.
12/22/2017 my front end started bouncing and shaking, on the freeway it got really bad I was scared and my grandsons got very upset and thought we we going to crash.

Takata recall: On Monday, November 13th, 2017, I set up a repair appointment for my 2013 Chrysler 200 at a relatively new-named auto repair place called umanski (from out of Tennessee) here in charlottesville, Virginia, on route 29 North for Thursday, November 16th, 2017, after receiving via U.S. mail "an important legal notice for owners of vehicles with takata airbag inflators" also on Monday, November 13th, 2017. Months before receiving this notice, I had received an "important safety recall notice in reference to the "occupant restraint controller" which I had placed in the glove compartment of my car to make an appointment at a later date (when personal monies were available) for the aforementioned repair; however, my attention was re-focused again on this "important safety recall notice" (which had been in my glove compartment for months and sent to me by Fiat Chrysler automobiles U.S. llc of fort myers, fla.). I received a 3rd notice (legal) from tk holdings incorporated., et al., debtors, P.O. Box 3004, monroe, Wisconsin, 53566-3004 on Monday, November 13th, 2017 (the same day I made an appointment to have my car repaired at umanski). My very first notice came to me around the beginning of 2017 or the end of 2016 at which time I was required to go online to complete a form regarding this matter. So far as my brakes are concerned, the brake light comes on frequently for whatever the reason. I've had an incident where it seemed that my car was losing power while I was driving it on a highway.

I purchased a Chrysler 200, 2013 from manhattan Chrysler. This car is a lemon it has a bad transmission and the anti-lock brakes lock at random. I took the car to manhattan Chrysler for repair when it only had 21,000mi. They recognized the transmission problem after the second visit. Chrysler said that the brake are no longer under warranty. After they rebuild the transmission the vehicle still didn't perform the transmission continued to slip in second gear. I returned the vehicle to Chrysler, now the fourth time in repair. At this point, I was directed to the reconsideration dept. They offered as compensation a one time car payment of $493.13'I was absolutely insulted because I paid $39.505.00 with finance charges. I sought legal help but they weren't much help. I was told by lemon law atty. That litigation would take 2 yrs. And I may not even receive $4,000. Chrysler, totally disregarded my attorney and would not corresponded to any phone calls or letter on my behalf from the atty. I am a veteran and I am totally disabled with a severe back injury and I use a cane to walk because I fall often. My mom recently had a severe stroke she is now in rehab 45min. Away and I don't have Transport ion to go check on her. I voluntarily surrender my vehicle to the finance co. Now my credit report reflex a $16,000. Default for the lemon I purchase at Chrysler. Please help!
I have had a brakes problem with this car. I reported it to Chrysler and they said for me to take it to a dealer the dealer wanted to charge me a large amount of money to check it out. So I took it to my mechanic and had my brakes change. I still have a problem with the brakes light coming on. I also was rear ended and both airbags was deployed.there was no one in the passenger seat.I don't know why the passenger airbag came out.
The brake light comes on at random times while driving, park, stop signs, and on the freeway. My daughter have the same car year and model and she have the same problem. I reported it to Chrysler and the refer me to a dealer in Ontario. The dealer said that I needed brakes. I went to my mechanic and had both front and back brakes installed but the brake light still comes on.
