I HAVE BEEN SMELLING OIL AN ANTIFREEZE INSIDE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THE OIL WILL START A FIRE, OR IF THE SMELL COULD HARM ME. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE SEEMS TO MBE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILLER, COOLER UNIT. I WAS ABLE TO SHINE A FLASHLIGHT DOWN AT THE BASE OF OIL COOLER AND COULD SEE ANTIFREEZE STANDING ON ONE SIDE AND OIL STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE. i DON'T SEE ANY OIL ON GROUND BUT I SMELL IT STRONGLY AND I HAVE TO ADD BOTH OIL AND ANTIFREEZE EVERY 2 WEEKS i WORK ON MY OWN CAR. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS NOR CODES IT SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON YOUTUBE AND THE CHRYSLER 200 FORUM

Electrical system under the seats smoked and went out for the air bags. Cost me $2,200 dollars out of pocket. I am on Social Security. Can't afford such dept. Brakes are sluggish and can't be trusted to stop quickly. Power Train, Electrical System, Engine not safe. Electrical system, Service Brakes, Forward Collision Avoidance System needs to be looked at and replace if needed.

Car is stalling for unknown reason without any warning or light appearing on dash. Feeling unsafe especially when driving on the highway because I never know when it will happen. Has been happening every day for the past 3 days. Happened in the beginning after a couple months of having the car and the first time I took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong or replicate the problem.

About 2 weeks ago, my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life-?? I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.

My car has shut off several times after starting. I have had to turn the car on and then turn it back on. The car has shut off on me a few times while driving. I just purchased this car as used in August of this year (2021). I am afraid this issue could happen while on the highway while cars are going at a high rate of speed. This most recent incident was today as I was going off to work.

The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it-??s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.

My car is using an excessive amount of oil. I did an oil change on April 4th and by May 4th my car was telling me I need an oil change. I had not even driven it the recommended 3,000 miles before doing an oil change. I added the 1 1/2 quarts of oil that my car showed was low and had only driven it for a 2 hour trip before it needed oil again. It also smelled like it was burning.
