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.
Takata recall last time I was driving on the freeway going 70 miles per hour and the vehicle suddenly lost power with a semi truck right behind me and I had to swerve off of the road to avoid being hit and nearly causing an accident I do not feel safe in this vehicle and I'm in fear for my life

I have owned this car for a while now. I live in a place that is below 40 degrees more often than it is above 40 degrees. The issue this car and many others are plagued with is a heater core and radiator that are plugged due to a manufacturing error from Chrysler directly. A plugged heater core and radiator not only is unsafe; it is unethical business practice. When my car does not properly heat, I cannot defrost my windshield barring my visibility and creating a massive safety risk for myself and fellow motorists. Not only does my heat not work properly, my car will overheat on certain occasions. To an inexperienced car owner the risk of destroying their engine is incredibly high. The repair can run as high as 1500 dollars at the dealership. I should not have to pay for an error that is not my or a shops oversight, and an incredibly dangerous oversight at that.
Approximately 2 months after purchasing my 2013 Chrysler 200 ltd (6-cyl.; mileage approx. 79K), the car began randomly losing power and stalling out while I was driving. When this occurred, I only had a few seconds to slowly coast to the side of the road to get off the highway. The car would not restart, and I had to call a wrecker. This has now happened 5 times. All of my trips were local when the engine stalls occurred, and each stall came without any warning while I was simply cruising down a highway or a city street, and not traveling up or down any significant slopes. When the car engine died, the dashboard indicators all illuminated while the engine was dying. I have had Chrysler service respond to the scene immediately to get diagnostics, and the car is not throwing out any diagnostic codes. When the engine dies, it can be restarted after the car sits for awhile... maybe a few hours. The PCM (computer) was replaced and all software patches have been installed, but that didn't fix the problem. The car has been in the Chrysler dealership repair shop over a month now, while they wait hopefully for a technical wizard to impart exploratory repair magic over their star network. I sure would like to have my car back....working. I was fortunate to have been able to get my car off the road on the occasions that it died. I could have been in a very dangerous situation otherwise. It is noted that NHTSA closed their investigation of this problem with the Chrysler 200, shortly after a software patch was released in Sept. 2012.
My Chrysler 200 2013 touring stalled on me while coming to a stop at a stop sign I was stuck in a intersection for almost an hour and had to direct traffic around me so I wouldn't get hit. This is not the first time this has happened. This is the 5th time my car has stalled on me and I've only had it for 2 months, stalled twice on busy intersections I could have died. It stalled on me while I was going 55 mph and the lanes were so tight I almost couldn't get to the side of the road without getting hit and when I finally did the lanes were so close that I couldn't park on the side of the road for safety without being terrified someone going to come down the hill and not see me and hit me. Also I was just doing a beach cruise one time and it stalled on me I had to park and wait like a hour and 30 minutes for help. Another time I was doing a right turn onto my house and the engine just shut off so I had to make a wide right turn with barely any steering power could've been a major accident. The car just loses it power and shuts off without any warning. I've gotten a diagnostics and nothing showed wrong with the car, but there is something wrong. I've seen many of the same problems people are having online and the problem is not getting fixed at all. I'm seeing people replace fuel pumps, starters, batteries, alternators and no fix for the stalling just wasting money. Thousands of people online on sites are struggling with this car. People cars are stalling on them and are almost getting them killed. Chrysler is not doing anything to help these people, no recalls on the car and people are taking their cars to the dealership and wasting money because the problem still occurs even after the dealership. Really sad there needs to be something done with these cars my life is in danger and I'm only 19 years. The Chrysler 200 needs to be recalled very dangerous car

The vehicle has stalled multiple times when coming to a stop, there are no codes stored and there is no check engine lamp when this occurs. It often stumbles when coming to a stop like it is going to stall but recovers. I am a career automotive technician for over 25 years, triple ase master tech I have performed a throttle body cleaning and checked all the basics, but there is no indication of any other issues with the vehicle.
My car starts right up but when I come to a stop the car dies but starts right back up. As I am coming to a stop it jerks forward like someone is pressing in the throttle. When I reverse it dies as well but starts up. If I take my foot off of the brake and guide it forward the RPM goes up then down and I can keep it at an idle. This is every time I drive the car and its getting worse. When I drive it jerks as well. Almost like it is having a hard time shifting.

My engine has cut off numerous times while turning as I was driving. When I try to restart the engine turns over but won't stay running. I have to let car sit for about 10 minutes then try again & it starts.
I have a 2013 Chrysler 200 with the 'pentastar tick'. a known problem to be found in the 2011 to 2013 Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler. This issue comes from the cylinder head or in my case the camshaft rockers and lifters. These are known issues with the pentastar engine, to the point it has received the name the 'pentastar tick'. a 150,000 mile warranty has been extended toward the cylinder, but as for the camshaft no extended warranty has been authorized. Since less consumers are affected by or report the camshaft issue, Fiat Chrysler auto feels it is not liable. A problem they know exist but if it appears at the end of the 5 years/100,000 mile warranty and it does not include any life threatening issue for the car owner, they are not responsible for the pentastar engine.
While driving the vehicle it cut off suddenly with no warning or check engine light came on. Took the car to a dealership they tore the engine down and discovered chunks of metal in the oil pan and metal clogged the oil filter. They did not give me a cause for the metal being present. They said I would have to pay more money in labor to have them dig in to the engine to figure out what failed.
