While driving this vehicle the car would shut down while driving, no ability to brake, to steer. The car would start back up, but the same issues would happen, making it extremely dangerous to drive. This happened on several different occasions. One of my issues with this problem is that Chrysler had the same issue with the 2015 Chrysler 200 and the 2015 was recalled. If you look at sites other than Chrysler, customers had reported the same problem with the 2014 and it looks like Chrysler just swept it under the rug. The dealership is saying that the TIPM system needs to be replaced on my car, for a cost of $3000 for a know problem.

Horn didn-??t work and car stalled in the middle of highway. Part (clock spring)inside horn was replaced but horn still went off by itself or didn-??t work. Entire fuse box ( integrated power module)that controlled horn replaced to solve problem. It has been determined that this was also cause of car stalling out.
My wife and daughters almost died in a car accident due to the apparent failure of this vehicle. We were driving on an HWY at night and the car just died out of nowhere. Dash started to flash and just died. We initially thought that it was the mechanic that had just fixed the car but after an investigation concluded that it was not anything they could have done. My family sustained life-threatening injuries and almost did not make it out alive as thee were rear-ended by a truck. Then on top of it when they were hit no airbags deployed which is what caused the injuries to be so much worse. After reading multiple complaints on NHTSA about the same issue for the same year and make I am baffled that this issue has not been addressed. I almost lost my family.
As I was driving down the busy highway my car shut down completely. Steering wheel locked, car turned off and brakes locked. This is very dangerous. I could of gotten in a horrible car accident. When mechanic checked it out he said there was nothing wrong with it and that there was a recall on this vehicle. I have been check and it says no recalls.

My car had a issue with one of the ignition coils malfunctioning causing the part to melt completely melt through the valve cover in Dec. 2016. This caused the car to stop while in motion and once I steered it off road, it smoked badly. At this time the car had about 52000 miles on it. As of June 2017, the recall dealing with the seatbelts and airbags have not been fixed nor looked at. I allowed the car to be returned via repo because I was out of nearly $1000 dollars paying the dealer to fix the car and pay for my own rental for two weeks while the Corp. Office send the ok for it to be fixed!!
Takata recall...I haven't experienced any accident's and I pray I don't, however I do not feel safe at driving this car knowing the defects that can possibly go wrong in it. I have kids that are my main priority always in the car with me and I'll hate to be in an accident and these defects take place this is not a chance I'm willing to take since I've found out these issues. As of now I'm showing that there is no resolution for the issues so I'm wanting to see about trading this vehicle in asap.
