When I purchased the vehicle in 2013 it was considered used at the dealer and soon after purchasing it the passenger seat belt would not unbuckle when the passenger pressed the red button to unlatch the belt. Quite a few times the passenger had to literally climb out from under the seat belt to get out of the vehicle and if it was still latched I really had to pull hard to get it to unbuckle. Sometimes on long trips I would make the passenger sit in the back seat because this became quite an issue. Sometimes it would unbuckle as it should have and other times I fought with it so hard I never thought it would unbuckle. Of course this would happen when the car was stationary but getting ready to drive with everyone putting on their seat belts and it would only be the occupant seat belt that would do this when I parked and everyone was departing the vehicle. The seat belt would not unbuckle. I received a recall notice for this problem without having a solution on or near the recall date of September 13, 2016.. I have been checking the recalls.mopar.com site and there is still no solution. If there was any kind of accident where the occupant could not get the seat belt unbuckled and the airbag not deploying it could be serous if not deadly. I have the original recall notice and a recent update stating the they still do not know how to fix this problem. Who sends out a recall notice without a solution? that worried me right away. I feel they should have given the people that received this recall notice a solution right away there are people that have might have been seriously injured or even died because of this. This recall is something that they stated if someone other than the dealer fixed the problem it would still have to go to the dealer to make sure it was fixed correctly. It started happening right away and maybe thats why it was back at the dealer.

31 days after purchasing my vehicle the blower for the heat and air conditioning began to sputter and work sporadically then completely quit a week or so later as a result an essentially new vehicle has no heatband no defrost which I've learned is dangerous when it's raining as I can't see out of the windshield. I believe this is am electrical issue not only because of the way the blower broke but sometimes the power windows will stop working then work again. Warning lights will flash on for no reason then disappear. The gas light will stay on long after gas has been put in the car do that I have to turn the completely off then back on to make it go away.

Ok.. so let me vent here. I first bought my car this year. (March) and they let me take my car for a night to see if I would like the car. They had a 2013 Chrysler 200 LX 2.4cyl. Or a 2014 Chrysler 200 limited 3.6 V6 the 2013 had 37K the 2014 had 21K. I wanted the 2014 but when they asked about it. It was already sold... I didn't know that. So I went for the '13 LX. Drove it off the lot for a test drive. Drove just fine. Got back to the dealer. Signed a paper and left with it from the dealer for the night. Well on my way home. I thought would go out of my way a little bit for a little extra drive. (keep in mind I had a full tank from the dealer) lol! something I requested. Because when I test drove it. It was on E. and gas light was on. But back to the point. While going out of my way. I stopped to get pizza. And left my car running. All lights were on. I'm sitting inside waiting for my pizza. Since I called it in before hand. Got my pizza. Come out to my car. And I stopped in my tracks. And thought. Hmm. I could have swore I left my car running. Like wtf. And my headlights and everything was still on! and then I thought. Oh [xxx]... I got into my car. Everything is on. Ac (which of course wasn't cold air since engine wasn't running) and all my lights were on. And I knew as soon as I got into my car and the RPM's are on 0 and everything is still on. I sat there for a minute. In shock and disappointment. Turned my key back. And turned it back and it fired right up. So I was upset but didn't think much of it. Called my dealer and they told me they would take care of it. Took it in and they gave me a loaner while they "fixed" it. Got it back and didn't happen after that. Now it just started again today. Bout a month worth's of time... I'm sick of this. My car only has 45K now. And I got it with 37K... taking my car in once again. This is going to kill somebody... stay safe.

In June 4, 2016 I was attending 2 high school graduations. It was raining that morning so my wipers were on. I get to the center and go inside. After the 2nd graduation and speaking with family and friends I go to the parking garage to leave. I get to my car to find my wipers still going. I get in the car a try to turn the switch off. Its already off. I drive home. My husband and I check for the fuse to remove. No luck. He disconnects the battery. There is a lot going on so I get it to a mechanic a week later. He tests it and the results come back as the wiper motor. We schedule the repair but finds it is not the motor. He retests the car and tells me its the totally integrated piwer module or tipm. He suggests that.I call Chrysler. They tell me to go to a Chrysler mechanic and call them back. I go to the nearest 2 Chrysler dealers in my area. Neither could help me at the time. I now have a mechanic scheduled for tomorrow. I hope to get my money back from Chrysler,
The car keeps stalling in traffic, get an engine jump then stalls. Chryslers techs can't even figure it out. Also stalls on freeways and is going to get someone killed. From what I see it's happening in these cars from 2012 to 2015 models everywhere. I'm very sick of going to the dealer and paying hundreds of dollars because of course it's always something not covered under warranty, how convenient. Then either right away or a month later the same issue occurs and get worse and worse. This needs to be addressed immediately.
Electrical short, destroyed alternator, PCM and battery. Manufacturer is refusing to pay or help. Upon reviewing ther internet we noticed that most of there vehicles since 2012 have had this problem the fee to pay is over $2000 an no guarantee it will not happen 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.

At approximately 41,000 miles, wiring harness to fuel pump shorts out near fuel pump end, causing electrical arcing at fuel components. Entire wiring harness to fuel pump must be replaced due to damage. Overload (fuse box) system failed to mitigate damage. Arcing and fire could have caused further damage or explosion. Vehicle was on a city street when it simply stopped working. Vehicle is currently at putnam Chrysler in burlingame, ca, where it was diagnosed with the defect. Documentation in possession of the dealer.
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.
