Nexen factory tires on front both have had to be replaced early (based on tread life) because of very dangerous cracking/splitting along the sidewall. Local bigo tires inspected and showed me the problem. I replaced both front tires with identical new nexen replacements. Within a week I thought to research potential issue as this splitting I have never personally seen with a even poorly used tire.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 was leaking air from the wheel. When taking the car back to the dealer don marshal Chrysler in somerset ky. They dismounted the tire from the wheel and found a stress crack in the wheel that was causing the tire to go flat. This was on the front tire and if not for the low tire indicator light this could have caused me to have had a wreck. The head mechanic said that it was not from any damage from hitting anything. I contacted Chrysler and they did nothing about this and would not return my calls in a timely manner. I even asked to speak to a supervisor of the lady handling my claim and she was also not trying to communicate with me to resolve this matter. I feel that the metal used in making this wheel is defective and would like someone to look into this matter. I worked as a firefighter for over 22 years and have seen many wreck. I feel that this is important enough that if someone doesn't look into this that it could end up causing several wrecks and which could end up causing someone to lose their life. I bought a new wheel out of my own pocket since Chrysler would not communicate with me. I still have the old wheel with the crack on the inside. I would send it off to have it tested for structural weakness if I knew where to send it to. I think Chrysler or the company that makes the wheels has a defective metal that could cause a wreck. Hoping someone looks into this matter and makes Chrysler double check their wheels. Also they need to learn to communicate with their customers in a timely manner. I kept a record of how many times I called and what few times they returned my calls. When they did call back it was always at the close of their business hours and would leave a voice mail knowing I would not have time to return their call.

In June 2016 the AWD light came on while I was driving on the parkway. A call to the service dept. Said it could be a glitch in the computer, turn it off for a while and restart. The AWD light continued to light up. I took it in for service the dealer said it was a computer chip problem (ptu module was bad) that took 4 days two fix.two weeks later on 7/18/16 after noticing dark spots on my driveway I took the car in, the diagnosis was a leak of transmission fluid in the bell housing causing the transmission in a 2 year old car to be replaced. An hour ago, (7/28/18 9:30P) I was driving 60 miles an hour on the gsp when the battery light suddenly came on and "shift to P" message came on in the dash. The "D" on the gear shift panel started flashing about a min later the vehicle began to lose power. I pulled over and restarted the car. It started up I was barely able to get to the side of the road on a dark highway with lots of traffic. It was a catastrophe in the making! this is the 3rd major issue with this new vehicle.

As I was driving the car (with 22,000 miles) on the highway a noise was heard and as I accelerated more the noise got louder, coming from the front. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and a road test was completed and the mechanic confirmed that both the front wheel hubs needed to be replaced. The warranty covered the repair and car rental.

This car was rented to me by enterprise leasing company in the chicagoland area. As I was in the process of making a left turn (West bound) onto a residential street, I had the passenger side front tire break away from the chassis causing me to lose control of the vehicle and hit two parked car. After the collision, I inspected the car and found the passenger-side front tire broken off and positioned 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the car in the wheel well. The hubcap side of the tire was facing backward, relative to the car, broken off from the lower control arm with the frame of the vehicle resting on the street.

I parked went shopping for about 2hrs. Came back hit locks nothing happened, walked closer to car hit locks nothing happened, tried trunk nothing for about 20 min I'm locked out of my car, the car seemed to have lost power.after standing there trying to locks finally it powered on the car had a bad ride at take off I heard noises under hood I continue to drive after the second stop I came back to car no problem it opened, I'm not happy with this car from day one it has been something this is the worst car I have ever had, on;Y had the car for 7months, it was thrown together not manufactured for perfection. This car has a problem with stalling and not wanting to pull off it just sits there then it jumps in gear the take off is very slow.

While driving the drive shaft came out causing the entire wheel to disconnect and subsequently causing the frame to collapse onto the tire of the front passenger side of the vehicle. I had this car for 2 weeks and had it towed to the dealership (tate Dodge) where I purchased it and it is still there since the incident on August 1st because I will not drive it as I do not feel safe in it.

The factory-installed tires for this automobile are unsafe for winter driving. Not only do they not grip from a complete stop but they are also ineffective in stopping and turning. The brand of tire installed is nexen P235/40/19. I had contacted Chrysler customer service but they simply laid the blame upon me and stated that I should've chosen all-season tires. I explained that I didn't have a choice in the type of tire that was mounted, only the wheel size and that all-season tires were supposedly mounted at the factory. I then received a response refusing to address the issue directly and that I contact the tire manufacturer. I have since installed winter tires at my own cost.
