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.
I had 4 wheel alignment done on my 2013 Chrysler 200 as the wheel was pulling, shook at certain speed and steering wheel was not straight. Those problems were corrected but now I have a clunking sound coming from the left front sounds like under gas and brake pedals. Also when car is in park and you turn steering wheel you hear a noise, so maybe the clunking comes when moving steering while driving but this is a very annoying noise and if you look up this year car on utube the video describes the noise exactly. This car has less than 40,000 miles on it. I will be checking with Chrysler dealership in morning to see if there were any bulletins on my car for this annoying clunking sound.
Heat only comes out on the driver side of the vehicle. It comes out really cold in the passages. The heater core was replaced last year be the dealer and it's doing it again. I was sitting a light and when it turned green I tried to go than it wouldn't go than it jumped forward and it went. I got a little down the road than it slowed down and it was almost like driving in neutral wouldn't pick up speed at all. It stopped moving again than it wouldn't go at all the cops had to help me push it to the side of the road.
Vehicle stalls/shuts off while driving making it very difficult to stear and brake. I was drving at 70 milies per hour when it suddently shut off almost causing an accident.
On the heat, the vent on the left of the drivers side gets nice and warm, the next vent to the right of the drivers side, gets not as warm, the next vent to the left of the passengers side very cool, and the next vent to the right of the drivers side very cold.
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.

Gear shifter gets stuck and won't shift from park to reverse or drive. Makes a clicking noise several times and then will shift. Seems this could be dangerous in drive mode if it slips out of gear. I am entering a date below but has happened several times. Over 20 in the last year. Seems to be worse when cold but not necessarily only when cold.
My problem is my car/transmission have been getting stuck when in drive and I have to get off the road and cut my car off and put it in park for a minute and then it will not drag like it is not in the right gear... I have seen were my car had a recall on the transmission if you can help me with this issue...
My car is making a ticking noise every time I hit my alarm or drive it. If comes tom my attention my ajuactor door is getting stuck and making this noise.
I bought my Chrysler 2013 3 1/2 years ago this year it started cutting off on me while driving I would be in my garage start the car up back it up June in reverse and the car will just shut off one time I was on the road driving and I just stopped I had to restart
The brakes squeal all of the time and the passenger seat belt is under a recall. They say the brakes always squeal. It's normal. Also had to get the transmission reprogrammed because of the downshift problems while driving.
I need to get this solved as soon as possible, driving with a defective vehicle is not safe for anyone. Especially my toddler in the back seat, it may not seem like a life threat however it is if I loose control of the vehicle. I am scared of driving this vehicle at the moment.
Only the driver's side heat works, passenger side blows cold. Has been serviced at pace in huntington in they canged the part and was told per Chrysler the only way to correct the problem is to completely change the whole heat system.
Occupant restraint controller. How can I get a loaner car until the parts come in? in addition, I hear a loud tapping noise in coming from the dashboard area does this have anything to do with wgy this is being recalled. I received a recall letter.
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.
The cars automatic lock system waits until the car is in motion before locking. If you have your arm up on the window it pinches your arm and leaves a painful mark.
On the evening of May 3rd, 2016 I returned to my vehicle after work to find that the driver head restraint had been deployed for unknown reasons. Earlier that day I went to the bank all was well the head restraint was completely intact. At approximately 5:05pm I returned to my vehicle to head home and noticed that I could not rest my head as I do on a daily basis on my drive home. My concerns are that if I were driving in traffic or on the freeway and it unexpectedly deployed potentially causing an accident or worse due to a chain reaction. I immediately contacted the Chrysler recall center. Filed a complaint, issued a case number and was told that someone would be contacting me to investigate with a possible resolution. I have not been contacted as of 5/9/2016. I also followed up on the case Friday May 6th. The case number had not been assigned. I'm looking for a resolution as to why this happened unexpectedly and what if anything would be my options. If this has happened to other, this could potentially become a safety hazard.
Continues to have suspension problem; noise and failure of control arms, leaking of water from heating/cooling system, check engine light, and rough transmission shift change. Horrible car, don't bother with same, to many mechanic visits...
