The contact owns 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle was shuddering and chugging. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle became undrivable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The mechanic related the failure to an unknown recall. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was restricted. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

The vehicle stalled out while driving on the interstate. No warnings and no engine lights came on. We were slowing down to a stop because of construction. The car is available if inspection is requested. I had the fuel system serviced with fuel pump replaced. It is unknown if the mechanic was able to confirm the stall out. I picked the vehicle up today and it seemed to run smoothly, then it stalled out driving thru an intersection without warning.

THE CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING IN SOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION I NEED TO GET HELP IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED ASAP

I RECEIVED RECALL ALERT FOR CODE V51 (RE-PROGRAM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OVER A YEAR AGO (DEC 2019) AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GIVING THE RUN AROUND. I'VE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND EVERY TIME I'M TOLD THE MANAGER WILL START MAKING CALLS TO OWNERS FOR THE RECALL BUT NO SUCH THING HAS OCCURRED.

2.4L 2014 200 MODEL; THE RADIATOR COOLANT PLASTIC FILLER NECK DISINTEGRATED ALLOWING FOR GLYCOL COOLANT FUMES TO SEEP SLOWLY OVER TIME INTO CAR VIA CABIN AIR INTAKE OF INHABITANTS AS WELL AS ADD'L HAZARD TO CAR MOTOR VIA OVERHEATING. CAR HAD 72000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING AND CAR STARTED TO SMOKE OUT OF MY BOTTONS TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN AND OUT OF MY SPEAKER AND THEN STOPPED DRIVING ON HWY. GOT IT TOWED TO PEP BOYS AND MY WARRANTY REFUSES TO PAY FOR MY ENGINE WHEN I PAID FOR 5 YEAR WARRANTY FIRST TIME USE

THE 3.6 LITER CHRYSLER ENGINE HAS A FLAW IN THE INTER COOLER MIXING ANTIFREEZE WITH OIL CAUSING A LOSE OF HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM EFFECTING CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM WITH 3.6 LITER ENGINE. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $880.00 TO $1,200 PER CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DESIGN. WHO IS GOING TO STEP UP TO HELP THE CONSUMER.

MY VEHICLE JUST LEAKED ALL THE OIL COMPLETELY. I KNOW A SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAK CHECKED THE OIL AND THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I SENT IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND IT HAPPENED TO BE A BROKEN OIL COOLER. MY BIG CONCERNS IS IF THE OIL WASN'T COOLING RIGHT/TRANSFERRING I WONDER WHAT EFFECT SIT HAD ON MY ENGINE. FOR A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT'S A HUGE AND SAD DEFECT.

ENGINE LIGHT ON. CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT. I TOOK IT TO BLACKS TIRE SERVICE, THEY SAID THERE IS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE (ENGINE RUNNING ON 5 CYLINDERS VS 6 CYLINDERS). WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND I LET GO OF THE BRAKE, IT STALLS A BIT (SHAKES), IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. IT ALSO STALLS WHEN I TAKE OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES, A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL SUDDENLY FORMED UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AS THE ENGINE OIL COOLER/HOUSING MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT. THE EXACT SOURCE OF THE LEAK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, BUT REPLACING THE UNIT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES OTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR PENTASTAR ENGINES (CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE VEHICLES). A VIDEO DESCRIBING THE UNIT AND ITS POSSIBLE FAILURE MECHANISMS CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JJGNEI1HMNY THE DEALER ASKED IF AN INCORRECT FILTER HAD BEEN INSERTED INTO THE UNIT. HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD DONE ALL BUT ONE FILTER REPLACEMENT, AND THE ONE FILTER THAT WAS NOT REPLACED BY THEM WAS INDEED THE CORRECT FILTER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE DEALER DID THE REPLACEMENT. THE UNIT REPLACEMENT COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $340, BUT LOCATION OF THE REPAIR MEANS THAT IT TAKES AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC ABOUT 3 HOURS TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT CONCERNS ME THAT SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT WOULD BREAK AFTER ONLY 18K MILES AND REQUIRES SUCH AN EXTENSIVE REPAIR EFFORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REMAIN IN POSITION AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE EXCESSIVELY TO KEEP IT IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY IN UPSTATE NY, TWO DIFFERENT LIGHTS CAME ON AND A NOISE SOUND CAME ON ONE WAS A THERMOSTAT AND THE OTHER WAS AN H LOOKING LIGHT AND THEN MY VEHICLE SHUTDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED AN OIL CHANGE AND STATED THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I'VE NEVER HAD IN ISSUES IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN FINANCING THIS VEHICLE. I'M STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATES IT WAS THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $4800. AS AN MILITARY VETERAN I AM ON A SET INCOME AND I'M NOT ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME TO EXPLORE OPTIONS IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

APPROACHING A TURNPIKE EXIT, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. YESTERDAY WHILE PARKED AND SUPPOSEDLY ENGINE TURNED OFF, WHEN I RETURNED I NOTED THE ENGINE STILL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING EVEN THOUGH I TURNED IT OFF. I NOTED WHEN READING ABOUT THE NEW GENERAL MOTORS RECALLS, I.E. CHEVROLET, IF THIS HAPPENS TURN THE ENGINE ON AND THEN OFF. THIS DID WORK AND THE ENGINE DEFINITELY TURNED OFF. *TR
