I think my car has electrical issues window start and stop working . i replaced a headlight and it starts and stops working at one point my started stopped and started working. my headrest deployed on passenger side while driving and it's a big space now on it
No heat . heater core and radiator had to be replaced by chrysler dealer at a cost of $1600.00. had extended warranty but would not cover cost. i understand from the dealer that this a major ongoing problem with this model of vehicle but chrysler has refused to acknowledge responsibility only advice on how to repair.
The catalytic converter was changed on tues., july 30, 2019 as the result of a recall notice from chrysler. was told after the replacement was done that i would smell burning a little for about a week until the new converter was broken in. i did smell this while driving. it was driven the following day for a total of approx. 80 miles. my lungs were affected badly. brought it back in to the shop (chrysler certified) next day, but no problems found. drove it one more day, but the pain in my lungs increased. since then, have not driven the car. was diagnosed by a doctor with asthma and put on a steroid inhaler. never had lung problems previously. chest x-ray and pulmonary tests normal. chrysler wants me to bring it to another certified shop for review, but it is far and would require towing. since then having a lot of pain in my lungs 3 weeks later. i believe it is because of the new catalytic converter.
My chrysler 200 died while driving--still had power, but engine died. the first time,6/8/19, we thought it was a cam sensor-that was the code it threw at the mechanic. we replaced it. then the battery light came on. the battery was good, but the alternator wasn't-so we replaced the alternator. drove it for 2 days & it died again, 6/16/19. took it back & the same cam sensor code is popping up but sensor is still good. got it back, drove it another 2 days & it died again, 6/22/19. towed it back to shop & mechanic cannot duplicate the problem after a week. have it back 1 day & car dies again, 6/29/19. several complaints here mention the car engine dying for no reason, but still have power. we've been lucky-we haven't been on a highway when it's died. each time, we've been driving around the city & making a turn & the traffic flow has been slow. sometimes we've been at a complete stop-others we have not. being that this seems to be a repetitive complaint, why hasn't a recall been issued on the vehicle??
Sudden stall on the highway, completely died on the slop of the beginning of the bridge on april 4,2019 and april 11, 2019
Catalytic conventor isn't ready to pass inspection, i seen some possible recalls for fav but haven't received a notice...
2 complaints/concerns: 1) this affects the 2012 chrysler 200 i purchased used with 62,500 miles. it's been well documented all over the internet and at chrysler dealerships how the 2012 chrysler 200 was part of a group of vehicles with faulty antifreeze from the factory. this antifreeze breaks down and will clog the heater core, radiator, and transmission oil cooler. the recommended repair, from chrysler, is to replace all of these listed parts at a cost of about $2500.00. chrysler knows about this problem, but refuses to do anything about it. my car is at a chrysler dealership as we speak having these repairs made. 2) this one i have not experienced, but i also see a large number of reports where the pentastar v6 equipped in a number of these vehicles will suddenly shut off. many of these cases are when the cars are in motion. this is a serious safety concern. issue seems to be centered around a pcm, but there is no recall of any kind on this.
While driving 45 mph on a highway, my car just died. the speedometer fluncuated, all lights flashed on and off, then just died completely.
My horn started honking on it own. i first noticed it when i was outside the car and had not touched it, the horn started honking. i got in the car and it stopped. every time i drive the car the horn honks on its own, sometimes long honks other times brief. the next thing it started raining and the wipers would not work properly they would swipe halfway and stop, only working when on high. finally i was driving home and the car stopped in traffic. i sat for a few minutes and started it and it would stop after moving for about an inch. the car stopped three or four times and finally i was able to drive the 2 or 3 miles to my home and park.
The passenger side heater and defroster stopped working. it is a known heater core issue caused by faulty coolant causing sludge build up in heater core. mechanics know of this, chrysler knows of this. without a fix the windows can struggle to maintain visibility, and maintain heat levels. the fix is to replace the heater core and/or radiator. which can be $1200-$1800, here is a web link to a multitude of complaints http://m.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/200/2012/ac_heater/heater_doesnt_work_passenger_side.shtml
While driving the car down the road randomly shuts off and when it happens you have no steering control or braking control
The heater on my 2012 chrysler 200 convertible does not work. the air blows, but it is not warm. i do not have that problem on the driver's side. my dealer tells me i need my heater core, among other things, replaced, which will cost approximately $1500-$2000.. in researching this problem, i find it's the number one complaint with this make and model. my car currently has approximately 80,000 miles on it.
The heater on the passenger side of the car is not heating up and blows very cold air making it hard to defrost the window to see when driving
I was driving on the expressway and my car died without any warning. i brought it to the dealership and they said i had oil in the injectors. they cleaned it up and sent me on my way for $715. not even a month later i'm still having the same issues and now sometimes it's not starting. so another repair shop changed the battery and starter, after the work they run some tests and say that i have a bad tipm to bring it back to the dealership. i bring it back to them and they want around $1800 now for this repair. i called chrysler and spoke with them about this and they refused to help in any way with this situation even though we are loyal dodge family customers(on our 5th vehicle). the reviews online show many people having this issue and it is a very dangerous and scary experience having your car die in the middle of the expressway with no power steering. i definitely think there should be a recall for this part to save the lives of others on the roadways. thanks in advance
I had the seatbelt fixed due to recall but i almost got into accident as i could not pull the seatbelt . i felt like it was choking me . the second problem which is the current . i have been experiencing when you start up the car there are times it will start right away and there are times that i have to try it to start between 3 or 5 times. brought the car to the mechanic 3 times in 2 weeks. . i have a brand new battery, not even a year old alternternator, spark plug is also new, brake is new and another parts was replaced which cost me $300. today , december 19, 2019 i brought my car to the mechanic to have the problem diagnosed but on the 13 detected none of it has error. . please help me. i already spent so k in money to get it fix . i don't know what else the problem . been to two mechanics and both of them can't find the problem. i can't afford to go back and forth to the mechanics and i am still making payments to the car. please help!
Only when heater is on, whether on defrost or front vents, blows cold air thru just the passenger side vents. it happens when the car is on.
I was traveling 55 mph on the highway my tire blew out an the fender blew off but somehow the cars whole engine wiring system was ripped out of the car in which the whole car went completely dead of all electricity thankfully i was able to pull on shoulder of highway before the car stopped rolling.
Heating and cooling. when turning on the heat, the system blows cold air on the passenger side. then if the car is in idle for a little while then both sides blows out heat. but more often, when the heat is on, it blows out cold air.
Alternator dies at 78,000 miles. heat no longer works due to heating core at 60,000 miles.
I was driving my car on 295 s yesterday and it lost power and the hot oil light came on and i had to pull over because i was almost hit by an 18 wheeler and sit there for 30 minutes and it states it is a transmission problem and this is the second complaint i have sent to you and i have tried to call but no one is answering or they hung up on me.05 .
Air bag light is on , going threw brakes and tires every 6 months sense i bought it in 2016. also no heat started at passanger side and worked its way towards drivers side. also front windows do not go down started passanger side and 3 months later no driver side. also was driving about 35 mph made right hand turn car has stalled 5 times.
Problem description: windshield wipers only work on high and when you turn them off they just stay in any position.
The heater core gets clogged up and your windshield visibility will not be cear. thia will cause unsafe driving measures.no heat my car blows out vool air only.
No heat to passenger side of car due to plugged heater core. well known issue causing reduced heat to vehicle.
Cold air blows out passenger side vents
There isn't any heat on the passengers side . the dealer said the heater core and the radiator also the thermostat' s . the said that chrysler puts in a chemical that's supposed to fill in any pin holes and now a couple of years later it becomes sludge and clogs up the heater core and everything else. and now i have a $2900 bill that i have to pay. it's not right for chrysler to do that to the public and get away with it.
Heat only coming from right side of car, any setting i use. heat only comes from right side of car. this seems to be a known issue on chrysler/dodge vehicles. this is a safety issue, cannot properly defrost car, windows ice over, unsafe to drive especially with children
The wiper blades come on by themselves and stay on for about ten to fifteen seconds. they shut off by themselves as well. i can't shut them off.
Passenger side heating and defrost not working and barely working on driver side. will not defrost causing trouble with visibility... there have been numerous complaints about this very same issue on "carcomplaints.com" the issue became noticeable when it state to get cold in november and december of 2017 around 68,000 miles
As i was driving on the highway, the car shut down completely. the steering wheel locked and it would not restart. this is the third time this happens, and twice, the dealership tells me the there is nothing wrong with my car, but this keeps happening.
The heat blows out hot air on driver's side but only blows out cold air on the passenger side which will not defrost the windshield and makes it very hard to see which is a safety hazard.
The car accumulates debris below the windshield under the plastic tray which clogs up a drain tube which then makes the water flood back through the heater core into the passenger side of the car . wetting the floor soaking the carpet and causing rust and black mold. i had it fixed once, but after investigation into the chrysler cars that this is an on going problem with all their vehicles for yrs now. this needs to be recalled and this design flaw fixed. either they need to have free maintenance of this or they need to have a separate tube for rain drainage and a different tube for ac heat drainage.. it has cause depreciation of my over all resale value of this car plus caused carpet padding damage rust and possibly mold in my car.. chrysler keeps laying back on the owners saying maintenance problem .. and charging over 500 to fix it. it's not like an owner can easily clean this area it involves take apart the windshield wipers etc
The car had only 35,000 miles when the issue started. the passenger heat is cold, and the defrost will not work, while the driver's side gets warm, and will defrost a small amount of the driver side windshield, and nothing on the side windows. this issue is a hazard for visibility in the winter. i have researched the matter to finds this is a common issue with the chrysler 200 and has a repair bill of $1500 as the passenger side has a blockage or clog in the system.
Heat stopped working on passenger side. defrosting is more difficult being that the air is not warm in cold temperatures. prior to the heat not working on the passenger side the a/c stopped getting cold too. (it was getting cold only on the drivers side)
When i turn on the fan when using the heater or the air conditioner there is a noticeable clicking sound coming from the dash on the passenger side of the car. the sound at this time is lasting about 30 seconds or so then stops. this happens when driving or standing still.
Heat partially operational only driver side.when going up to 70 m/h only cold air come out of vents . a/c not working no leakage after garage inspections .
Car is stalling unexpectedly when slowed down or stopped at an intersection. towed twice. taken car to three different mechanics, including the chrysler dealership. paid over $1000 and still stalling. first two mechanics could not figure it out so took to dealership. they stated it was the throttle body and back brakes. paid $960, picked up and didn't even make it home before it stalled twice. not easily restarted. this car stalled on me, while 5 months pregnant and two small children in the car while turning left across the lane of oncoming traffic and another time so my husband in the middle of a busy intersection. i have researched that this is or has happened to many chrysler owners and was rated low risk and not recalled. i would love to know how this is low risk?
The passenger side heating vents blow cold air and the windshield will not defrost on that side causing a safety hazard. not to mention i live in montana and it's seriously cold then having cold air blowing in the car is horrible.
Passenger side heater does not work windshield and side windows ice over in cold weather so i can't see while driving weather has warmed now but problem is the samr
Passenger side does not have any heat coming out of the vents, or defrosters. only the far driver side produces small amount of warmth. being that i live in wisconsin, it has become hazardous for me to drive my vehicle in the winter for obvious reasons. not being able to unfog, or defrost your windows is unbelievably dangerous! aside from the dangers of driving at times with only half of a clear windshield, my passengers and i freeze inside the vehicle during the winter! the only way to clear the windshield and passenger window is to periodically open the windows while driving, which only makes the inside temperature that much more unbearable.
My vehicle has no heat coming from the passenger side vents. the heater core is partly plugged. i worked for chrysler as a mechanic up until a few months ago. i have personally run into this same issue with customer cars as well as several other techs. chrysler will not cover the repair due to it now being out of basic warranty.
Clunking noise in the front drivers side wheel. vehicle drive straight but there is a clucking sound that can also be felt in the steering wheel while driving. it happens now all the time when diving highway or side streets lower speeds seem worst under 40 mph, started a few months ago and getting louder.
The passenger side of my defrost/vents does not work--it remains cold even on high heat and driver side hot. the windshield and passenger window remain foggy or ice covered, or after removing the fog or ice it rebuilds fog or ice while traveling on highways while snowing, extremely limiting visibility. this winter has been quite difficult to drive safely due to this condition.
My vehicle has roughly 54,000 miles. the heat does not work on the passenger side of the vehicle and is progressively becoming colder on the driver side of the vehicle. the car will not reach a warm enough temperature to be comfortable or to adequately defrost the windshield. this is a known issue to chrysler and should be recalled. the parts involved are the heater core and radiator.
The passenger side of the vehicle blows cold air while the heat is on. the driver side blows luke warm air, thus ineffectively heating the vehicle. i have been told this is a known problem with this model and is a defective heater core system. the estimated cost to fix is $900-$1200. living in michigan, and not having heat during the winter is a major concern for safety.
Vehicle stalled and would not start while driving (2 times )towed to dealer as (both times) tow driver could not restart. dealer reported no computer codes and car started after car started on problem. there appears to be common safety hazard that has been experienced by many owners, that reportly chrysler and nhtsa agreed upon a resolution to avoid a recall by chrysler of this safety hazard in sept 2012. chrysler doesn't acknowledge and not sharing this information with dealers so they can take corrective action. various attempts tried to resolve this hazardous condition have included replacing the powertrain module, camscope replacement, monitoring the on board with a copilot computer-which also showed no codes. the dealer did say that chrysler suggested an additional module be added to the on board computer, but none of their customers returned a third or more times as previous attempts were unsuccessful and appeared to give up. this life threatening safety hazard needs to beinvestigated and resolved, as we were driving on a roadway and the motor just shut off., if this not resolved it will sometime cause injuries or deaths, which could end up with a recall something that chrysler possible replacement of on computers.
On nov 7 2016 at roughly 7pm, i was heading west on the 10 freeway location 34.065990,-117.993771, baldwin park, ca. traffic started to slow to 45 mph then came to a sudden stop and i was the last one in the 4 car collision. my airbags did not deploy and. i feel that the brakes may be faulty for when i stepped on them as hard as i could it seemed to be more of a skipping stop. for the littlest bump feels like ur hydroplaning to a stop. chrysler never informed me of any recall about the airbags though i felt they should of deployed. my car was in the shop till march so i havent had it back but a few months.
The dealership wants to charge me $1800 to replace the tipm, but i see other chrysler models have been recalled for the same thing... except mine hasn't. this isn't just a minor inconvenience... it's very very unsafe: 'the fuel pump not turning off and burning out 'the airbags not deploying or deploying randomly 'the engine stalling while driving 'the starter cranks but won't start 'the horn going off at random times 'power windows not working 'doors locking or unlocking themselves my wipers, horn and lights go on at random times. at times it's while i'm driving.... sometimes it's while it's parked. the car doesn't even need to be turned on for this to happen. it's drained my battery a few times and now it's not even drivable. it started back in november, 2016, but has continued through the present. i haven't been able to drive it for the last 2 weeks.
There is no heat on passenger side so the defrost does not work and it affects visibility when driving.
The heater on the driver's side barely warms up works and there's no heat on the passenger side. only cold air blows no matter what setting i have it on. this is not good in the winter months when is -2 degrees and the heater doesn't work on one side i was told the heater core was plugged and it can cost between $800-$900 to fix this is a known issue with chrysler and it should be recalled.
