While driving the vehicle on several occasions the hazard lights would turn on without the button being pressed. after that 1st incident it's happened more often than not and other drivers are thinking that we need to pull over when we don't. i'm not sure what the cause of this is, but it's a new vehicle and if this continues it's going to cause me possibly getting a ticket with law enforcement. which is something i'm going to pursue chrysler paying because this is a major problem for me. *tr

On october 28th, 2014 i dropped my car off at the dealership for repair with complaints of electrical issues. the alarm was performing with unpredictable tendencies and was not disarming in order to enter the car. after driving a rental for two weeks that came out of my pocket the dealership claimed that they could not duplicate the problem in order to fix it.i was forced to take the car back knowing that the problem was not fixed.the random electrical problems progressed and the car ignition began having serious issues. once the key was turned to 'off ' the car would restart and the indicator light would say 'key in ignition' although the key had been removed from the ignition. i would have to turn and hold the key to the 'on' position for several seconds before the car would turn over. on december 15th, 2014 i attempted to put the key into the ignition and the engine did not turn over at all.i removed the key from the ignition and the engine began to make the sounds as if it was going to turn over at least 10 times while the key was out of the ignition. on january 15th, 2015 i received a call from the service rep at the dealership. he said that he was advised by my case manager at chrysler customer care to call and tell me that i had to come and pick up my car although the problem had not been resolved. the service rep said that they had replaced the tipm (totally integrated power module), the battery, and the clock that flickers yet the electrical issues repeated even after the replacement of the tipm. he continued to say that the chrysler engineers did not know how to fix the problem. this car is still within the formal lemon law rights period 'and i am asking chrysler for appropriate action in a timely manner. *tr

At night 8 pm driving south on i-4 to tampa in rainstorm. heavy traffic with rain and water off other cars and trucks. traffic speed 60 mph. headlights stopped working. repeatedly turned headlights on and off to try to get them on again. most of the time you could see the parking lights go on but not the headlights. twice the headlights flashed on for less than 1/4 second before turning off. after driving 10 miles to the nearest exit and exited i-4 and stopped the car. at this time it was only drizzling and no spray from other cars or trucks. turned the headlights off again and on and this time they stayed on for the last 50 miles where we had only drizzle and no spray from any cars or trucks. drove the car another 200 miles but never in anything but mild drizzle but always in the daylight but could not tell any malfunction. will return to enterprise today and report incident to them. *tr

While driving on an unlit 2 lane road i experienced ( the first of several instances) the most dangerous automobile lighting conditions of my 50 years of driving. trust me this is scary! the headlights have a shutter system for normal and bright headlight control that is so bad i felt the need to pull off of the road to consider continuing my travel. when the headlights are set to dim it is like driving in a dark tunnel with visibility of only the immediate 20 feet in front of the car with no visibility at all of anything to the side. nothing can be seen above about 5 feet of the road. when one encounters a turn in the road the driver is unable to see beyond the curve. i beg you to investigate this problem and force chrysler to replace the shutter system before someone is killed. please send someone from your organization out to drive one of these automobiles on a dark night on a road with no street lights. i dare them to do it more then once. thank you. *tr

This vehicle has "shutter" headlights which make it unsafe to drive this vehicle at night. the seeing distance is very low. when high beams are on, they do not shine down the road but to the trees. oncoming traffic does not even notice high beams are in use. i have spoken to the dealer and to chrysler and have been told that is how they are made and nothing can be done. i have read several other complaints / concerns on the same issue, and ram trucks are being recalled due to the same issue. *tr

The headlamps on this vehicle, on low beam, project light that is inadequate for speeds above 30-35 mph, especially on rural roads. you simply cannot see more than approximately 40 yards in front of the car. extremely unsafe for night driving. *tr

The headlamps on this vehicle are a safety hazard, you can not see at night, i almost hit a parked car at night because of the poor visibility. *tr

This vehicle as a "shutter" on the headlamp. this goes down on low beams and up on high beams. i am unable to drive this vehicle at night, the head lights do not shine down the road, and clearly not be able to see. this is a huge danger issue, that needs to be addressed. dealership is saying...sorry, nothing that can be done. please help me. *tr

I have been researching complaints on my brand-new 2013 chrysler 200 limited sport; it seems that there is some kind of "shutter" which limits the forward visibility of the low-beams. as a result, any traveling at the posted speed limit, i.e. above 35 mph, at night, you are struggling to see, and "overdriving" the headlights. forget about when you are in traffic, with cars approaching, quite literally, you cannot see 40 yards. if a pedestrian darts out, you will not be able to see well enough to react. in my area, there are a great many deer; if i cannot let cars around me, so i am able to use my high beams, i will not be able to see in time. i am very concerned about this issue. even with the equipped driving lamps on, you still cannot see further. the driving lamps spread to the sides, but not even as far as half of the headlamp distance. the car is wonderful otherwise; but i am truly scared to drive at night with it. i have 20/20 vision with above average night vision, and i still have difficulty; my wife cannot drive my vehicle, and will not at night. *tr

(this is a resubmission of complaint # 10649389 to which i added lighting and corrected the vin) and the speed that the squealing and squeaking occur are from 15 to 0 mph. 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

Headlamps are not very good on this vehicle, i have had the headlamps adjusted by the dealer once and they did not improve, went to another dealer and was told that they were not adjustable. the vehicle can not be driven at night. *tr

The headlights on the 2013 chrysler 200 lx z are so bad that you can not see anything at night. their is only one blub for high and low beam. all the light does is drop a piece of plastic over hilf of the headlight to make it low beam, which you can't see anything be on 15 feet ahead of you, and high beam isn't any better. i've tryed to get help from chrysler about this problem, they know it's there but nothing can be done about it. all you have to do is go on line and see where alot of chrysler 200 owners are saying the same thing. i live in east tenn. and one day i took a trip over the mountains, i started home after dark and had to really tailgate a car ahead of me to stay in the road, and road signs were not seen at all, i hope other owners of chrysler 200's are doing what i doing to get this problem fixed before alot of people really get hurt. thank you for letting me have my say.
