Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2012 Chrysler 200

Heat is not coming out of right side vents, blowing cold air. took to dealer and they found an issue with the heater core and it needs to be replaced. there's a build up of brown sludge in the cooling system. car has 68000 miles on it. this will be the second replacement. last one was replaced at 37,000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving 35 mph the steering wheel ceased and the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle after five minutes. while driving and making a left turn the vehicle stalled again. while attempting to start vehicle there was abnormal ticking noise detected. the abs and traction control warning lights were illuminated. additionally, the speedometer was inoperable. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 114,000.

I only have heat on the drivers side of the car. we just hit our 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty. had the car in the shop twice with coolant smells. mechanics never found a problem. everywhere i read there are tons of complaints about this issue. this is a $1000.00 repair! a flush is $150-170. we have already done this. i'm ready to trade it in but i do love my car. not sure about how i feel about chrysler knowing about a issue and not offering assistance with the repair. maybe they better send out a massive rebate to old owners in hopes of them staying a customer.

My chrysler 200 was purchased about two months ago since i purchased it from florida and i reside in alabama i was told by the local dealership in mobile that they could not diagnose or repair it because they have no history. my car is randomly stalling and loosing all power to engine when attempting to stop or slow down there is no codes on dashboard. pcm was replaced still same issue. it is very likely this will cause an accident especially because there is no warning. it cut off tonight on my way home from work while i was driving at 35mph. this is dangerous

So two weeks back on on sept. 19 my car broke down... which i don't get because dealership said due too improper lubrication in the engine, always changed my oil and filter and coolant or anything needs to be replaced at said mileage. also in told me cylinder 4 by dealership was my problem till it blown always kept oil same and heard about it never tried to drive it till i found out why i have this problem... was told s.o.l !!! so now have no car to get my kid or work walk and ask for rides and still making payments for this only have 109,614 miles on for something that should of happened at 200,000 miles or more i take care of my car thing was my joy for work or my kid so please help me understand why....

While driving i started to coast to take sharp turn and engine died, no power steering and no brakes. couldn't turn and ran off the side of the road. this is a major issue.

I have a 2012 chrysler 200 that stalls randomly. i have taken it in for service and diagnostic services and no results. the system has absolutely no codes stored in the system. it happens randomly while the vehicle is stationary and in motion. i have seen a lot of complaints with the same thing happening to people. it has left me in extremely dangerous situations many times. i do not feel comfortable or safe driving this car. this needs to be investigated as i have learned it has been affecting years from 2011 to 2016

Takata recall the tipm has malfunctioned car will not function of start

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. when the vehicle was started, the check engine indicator illuminated and remained lit. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who dianosed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 196,000.

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??

While driving my vehicle back the office from my lunch break, i made a right hand turn onto the main road and began to accelerate the vehicle with more gas. at about 35mph the car engine completely shut off and i had to coast to the side of the road with no power steering. i had to wait approximately 20 mins until my car would restart again. i was able to get back on the road until after another few hundred yards of driving the car stalled again completely. i was then forced to call a tow truck to have it taken to an auto shop.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. while driving various speeds and shifting gears, the vehicle shut off without warning. when the vehicle was shut off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. the contact took the vehicle to steve landers chrysler dodge jeep ram (401 colonel glenn plaza loop, little rock, ar 72210, (501) 404-9103) where it was diagnosed and an unknown part was repaired. the diagnosis and repair specifics were not disclosed. the failure recurred after the repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,000. the vin was unknown.

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.

Passenger side heater stopped working. vehicle turns off while in drive and moving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 200. the contact stated that the radio shorted out several times and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was unable to restart and was towed to the contact's residence. the vehicle was then towed to atlanta west chrysler dodge jeep ram (1251 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (770) 942-1102) where it was diagnosed that the motor failed to function, and the engine assembly and battery needed to be replaced. the contact was uncertain if the failure was related to manufacturer recall campaign number: l33. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure to determine their guidelines for the repair. the approximate failure mileage was 93,800. .*bf *tr
