Vehicle was stationary. Went to turn on vehicle and the engine light starts flashing. It has never done that before and the vehicle is only used to driving back and forth to work. Got it checked out and found out the catalytic converter has gone bad and is very clogged.
4 different times, the car has just lost power while driving. I have had it to my mechanic 4 times and they cannot find an issue. This last time I was driving on the highway going 65mph and it just lost all power. I had to be pushed off the highway. This could have caused an accident. An hour later it started up and I drove it straight to my mechanic. It has happened 4 times in the last year.
I was driving in the middle of the street when the car just shut off completely. The car stall I had to call the tow truck and the police for help because I couldn't even put my emergency lights on. I waited for 2 hours and suddenly the car went back on. The car like if nothing ever happened. It was scary luck that I wasn't on the freeway with my children at that time.

My car only has 73,000 miles on it. I take excellent care of it. Last week I the engine started to just turn off while at a stop. No warnings, no indicators that something was wrong. The car will turn back on when I put it in park and restart engine by turning the key. I have recently seen online that this has been an issue with a lot of 200's. I feel Chrysler has sold a lot of people lemons. More importantly I'm concerned for my safety, the safety of my family, and safety of other I share the road with.

The engine completely shuts off without warning when at an idle or slowing down to make a stop. It has done this now about 12 times within the last month. My car just made it to 53,000 miles and has always had regular oil changes and maintenance. So far, I have been able to put it in park and restart. I was taking my daughter to school yesterday and it stalled in the middle of the road and the engine died. The first time that it ever happened I put the car in reverse to back out of my driveway and it died three different times. No warnings or lights. I have taken it to a mechanic shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic test and...nothing. The engine has died and stalled 3 times since being in the shop.
