While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. this has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. it has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine...until it doesn't again.
This is the second time in 2 years that i had to replace the alternator and battery on this car. i also had to replace fuses on this car. all the hazard lights came on battery light, hazard lights, all the lights in dashboard came on. care accelerated slowly until it turned off. couldn't drive

No check engine light, pressing on brake pedal while at a stop sign or red light, automobile stalls. put it in park and restart, rpm range varies. use brakes too much rpm increases need to stop vehicle and restart to get better rpm and dashboard blinks for the mileage
Every 3 to 6 months, my brakes start scrubbing and i have difficulty stopping my car when driving and as a result of frequent brake replacements. this has become extremely expensive. this issue started in 2014 and it has continued through 2018.
Break light comes on while driving. stays on for 30secs and then shuts off. happens when going around a sharp curve, down hill, or stopping abruptly. no check engine light comes on and no codes found. i have researched and seen this has been an ongoing issue with 200s for quite some time now, and there has been no fix. break pads wear down at a much faster rate than normal. even after break system has been flushed. have not had an issue stopping the car, just the light comes on often. 2nd. rack and pinion has gone out causing the car to lose power steering in 1 direction only. in my instance, i was only able to turn left normally and it was extremely difficult to turn right. happened when i was parking the car and went to straighten up the wheel. had the car towed to the dealership to be fixed.
12/22/2017 my front end started bouncing and shaking, on the freeway it got really bad i was scared and my grandsons got very upset and thought we we going to crash. i thought the engine would fall out the bottom, or my left front tire was going to fall off, also the brake lite comes on sometimes every 15 mins., now today spent all day trying to talk to any chrysler service person to call me back ! no one did! my car died last night no crank no start im stuck in sacramento at my daughters, i was to work 3:30 to midnight to night 01/15/2018 , really hope i don't lose my job ! went on youtube everyone had the same problem and cant fix...
It was my first time purchasing a car. i thought i was going to a legit business, north american auto group. they are rip offs. they sold me a car with a crack windshield and told me i had to fix it myself because they was not making much off the car for them to fix it, they told me they was unable to give me an inspection sticker because they don't do those, the brakes started to give out while i was driving and i went back to let them fix it. they said they do not do brakes and it's not included in my warranty, that's up to me to get changed on my own. opening and closing the door has left me with a dent on the passenger side. the tires are horrible. the struts needs to be fixed and i need a wheel alignment. all of these things were suppose to be fixed before i even purchased the car.
I was notified of a safety recall and have been trying to schedule for the repair for 2-3 months now with no luck.
Takata recall: on monday, november 13th, 2017, i set up a repair appointment for my 2013 chrysler 200 at a relatively new-named auto repair place called umanski (from out of tennessee) here in charlottesville, virginia, on route 29 north for thursday, november 16th, 2017, after receiving via u.s. mail "an important legal notice for owners of vehicles with takata airbag inflators" also on monday, november 13th, 2017. months before receiving this notice, i had received an "important safety recall notice in reference to the "occupant restraint controller" which i had placed in the glove compartment of my car to make an appointment at a later date (when personal monies were available) for the aforementioned repair; however, my attention was re-focused again on this "important safety recall notice" (which had been in my glove compartment for months and sent to me by fiat chrysler automobiles u.s. llc of fort myers, fla.). i received a 3rd notice (legal) from tk holdings incorporated., et al., debtors, p.o. box 3004, monroe, wisconsin, 53566-3004 on monday, november 13th, 2017 (the same day i made an appointment to have my car repaired at umanski). my very first notice came to me around the beginning of 2017 or the end of 2016 at which time i was required to go online to complete a form regarding this matter. so far as my brakes are concerned, the brake light comes on frequently for whatever the reason. i've had an incident where it seemed that my car was losing power while i was driving it on a highway.

After 14000 miles front brakes need to be replaced. also own a 2011 chrysler 200, also needed to replace front brakes at 19000 miles. i believe chrysler is using poor material for there front brakes. since i replaced the 2011 brakes, with auto zone parts, i have gone over 40,000 miles more and brakes are still good. would like to find out if this should be a recall. thank you. *tr
I have had a brakes problem with this car. i reported it to chrysler and they said for me to take it to a dealer the dealer wanted to charge me a large amount of money to check it out. so i took it to my mechanic and had my brakes change. i still have a problem with the brakes light coming on. i also was rear ended and both airbags was deployed.there was no one in the passenger seat.i don't know why the passenger airbag came out.
The brake light comes on at random times while driving, park, stop signs, and on the freeway. my daughter have the same car year and model and she have the same problem. i reported it to chrysler and the refer me to a dealer in ontario. the dealer said that i needed brakes. i went to my mechanic and had both front and back brakes installed but the brake light still comes on.

I have not had one particular incident, but everyday squeaking instead. what started out as a very loud screeching sound is now a breaking squeal every time i brake. i have had my chrysler 200 convertible into the dealership 6 times for the same problem. the last time they said they can't fix it. obviously, this has been a problem for some time as i've investigated. if they knew this, why would you sell a car to someone? to me, this is a fraudulent act whereby they intentionally misrepresented this vehicle and sold it to me anyway. now they say chrysler is aware of the issue, but doesn't know how to resolve it. what an embarrassment to chrysler, not only that they can't resolve it, but every time i stop, it's an embarrassment to them. *tr

Car has started to make a grinding and squeaking type noises when backing up. took to my dealer and he told me there aware of the problem, but there is no fix for it right now. we just have to live with it. i told him my wife is afraid to drive it she thinks that the brakes are going to go out. if chrysler doesn't fix this problem pretty soon, we'll be driving another car from a different manufacture! *tr
From almost the beginning of owning this car it has made a noise in the left front driver's side. the steering wheel feels lose, like it could come apart. i had brake issues also. the dealer was able to find the brake noise, but not the noise in the left front driver's side. they say there is nothing they can detect. yet, my car continues to make this noise. now, i'm not a mechanic, but my car should not be making a noise if everything is alright. checked on youtube and many people with chrysler 200's, 2013's are having the same problem. they say their mechanics either cannot find the problem, or it's 1. steering column 2. outer tie rod end or sway bar end links 3. ball joints 4. bushings can be worn on control arms of sway bar or 4. tie rod. my dealer cannot find any of that wrong with my car, yet, i believe it is one of these problems. my car was purchased at moore, chrysler, jeep, subaru, at 8700 w. bell, road in glendale, arizona. i am a single lady, living on social security disability. my dad bought this car for me. i cannot afford to have all these problems fixed if the warranty runs out, and the dealer lets it. i need them to take responsibility and fix my car. *tr

Not long after purchasing my 2013 chrysler 200 i noticed that every few days i had to get air in my tire. when i had my very first service i mentioned to the service dept. they looked at the tires and put air in them. then it was the same every few days put air in tire. well on next service it was the same old thing nothing wrong put air in tires this just keeps going on. well when it was time to rotate tires then the problem got a little worse. had to go from every few days to every other days at next service got the same statement nothing wrong. now its got to the point i have to put air everyday and not just one tire but all of them. i just now got to 30,000 miles on my car. also they said and tried to talk me into getting nitrogen put in which cost money and if your on the road and your tire goes low you can't put air in a nitrogen tire. i don't know why the tires keep loosing air but this is darn ridiculous. also like another person reported quite some time ago my brakes make a terrible noise when backing up. *tr

2013 200 limited v6 the brakes squeal from what has been blamed on corrosion, the first in my 20+ cars. the dealer did a resurfacing and added a squeak to the squeals. now at 37k miles i have to suffer to watch pedestrians turn and look to see what all the noise is when i am coming to a stop at lights. after reading the complaints about headlights i now know why the on-coming cars are always flashing me, the lights are angled up to counter act the issue. on the upside, otherwise would have dumped this heap, the gas mileage is great on the highway only and it is a good riding vehicle for 23k new. *tr

I bought my 200 in december 2012. starting in january, the car idles very strangely. when i start the car the engine rattles as if it does not want to start. the brakes have always squeaked as if they need to be replaced and when i asked the dealership, i was told that this is normal and every car squeaks. lastly, it is difficult to drive during the evening time because of the low lighting. i do not believe i will ever by chrysler again because the car runs as if it 60,000 miles old. i am afraid it is going to break down any moment. i wish i would have bought the honda accord. *tr
