I were in little but really scared accident with my almost new chrysler. in very slow traffic (5-7 miles/hour) when i tried to come home after work meeting from kirkland suddenly i realized that my brakes don't wanna stop the car with light tapping as it was ok previously, then tapped on brake harder and then panic and realized the brake. i end up with hang on the tail (the little thing attached to the rear end of the car) of big track. i tried to say something about brakes problem to my insurance, but collision repair company did not confirm my concerns and i paid $1000 deductible as the driver in fault (in the future it will affect my monthly pay for insurance). i tried to find the solution but only my family can support me without laughing at my problem with the car safety. one of my friends told me, that i need to involve some of an independent professional and stop trying talk to the wall. chrysler already took an advantage of my not fair purchase and then my trade-in with them (my dealership refused to replace my previous chrysler 200 for safety reason again!!! and sold to me my current chrysler for $43,000 and it's not safe still!!!). in additional, i scared with the noise producing by the car while i'm driving: there are two types of noise from the engine when it's going down of the hill and windows or something like windows shaking noise. frankly saying, i have very upsetting experience with the dealership and start looking for the second opinion with treating me as the fair and professional business. please let me know what is in the options to keep my life safe since i have a strong feeling, that i'm not safe to drive my chrysler. thank you! *tr
In january 2015, i purchased a 2015 chrysler 200s from reedman toll auto world. i owned the vehicle for approximately 3 months and in march, 2015 during a snowstorm i was driving in the vehicle with my fiance and 5 year old son. i was traveling at approx 30mph in bensalem, pa. the vehicle locked up. the parking brake engaged, no power steering, no abs, no traction control, transmission stopped engaging. i hit the brakes and slide into an intersection. i had my fiance get into the drivers seat and i push the car off the roadway into a side street. at that time i walked my fiance and son home approximately 1 mile to our apartment. i then walked back to the disabled car. i waited for approximately 2 hours for a tow truck to arrive from chrysler roadside assistance. the vehicle was towed into reedman toll auto world. when the car was looked over it was deem to be fine and i was told to pick it up. i did not do that. i told them i didnt feel safe driving that vehicle any longer. so then i spoke with the general manager of reedman's and they told me they could get me into a different vehicle. i was poorly educated with my options back then and i wanted to just get a safe vehicle for my family. so i purchased a 2015 chrysler 200c. on january 23th, 2016 i was driving my 2015 chrysler 200c with my fiance. i was driving at approximately 20mph and the identical situation occurred again. it was 10 months after my last incident and with a totally different vehicle. this time i contacted chrysler directly. i still havent heard anything from chrysler. reedman's told me that there was some snow in there and they removed that and re flashed the computer system and now its "perfect". i find this to be really unacceptable and unsafe. more information including pictures and videos can be provided.

I was driving along a two lane hwy doing about 50-55mph when suddenly the service transmission light came on. i lost throttle capability and basically i was now coasting on a windy and hilly road. i was able to pull off at a safe place before i stopped. the transmission would not shift into park and though the selector still indicated "p" it was really in neutral because if i took my foot off the brake my car rolled backward. my parking brake wouldn't engage at first either. i held my foot on the brake as i called roadside assistance. at this point i was concerned i wouldn't be able to exit my vehicle. as i was talking with roadside assistance i kept trying to put the car into park and/or engage the parking brake. finally the parking brake worked and i was able to take my foot off the brake. i then decided to try to restart the car. when i turned the car off the transmission defaulted to park. so now i was safe to exit. once the car was restarted the transmission would not shift out of park. waited nearly 3 hours for a tow.
On may 3, 2015 while driving down the highway with my children, the car stalled and i lost complete control of all steering and braking function. i immediately placed on my hazards as cars swerved left and right to avoid slamming into me. i attempted to restart the car and it wouldn't restart. after sitting for approximately 5 minutes, the car finally restarted. as i finally started to go, the car would accelerate quickly and then slow down. within 10 minutes, it stalled again while driving. it did this 2 more times. service was called and the car was taken to the shop. the next day i received a call that the car was fixed. i picked up the car and drove it for one day. driving home from work on may 6, 2015, it again stalled while i was driving and almost caused me to crash as i lost all steering and braking ability. again, the car would not restart. service was called and took the car to a different authorized dealer. i received a call today may 8th that the car was fixed and ready to go. i picked up the car and drove home. before arriving to my home, the car stalled again and again i lost all steering and braking ability. service was called once more and the car was taken back to the shop it went to the first time this happened on may 3. *tr
On a few occasions going down hill on a highway, there is an unintended acceleration. then the transmission will stall into gear going downhill as well. the engine will be at very high rpm for the speed i go which is 45-50. often when i back out in reverse, the brakes make a humming noise.

on april 9, 2015, with my entire family in the car, we suffered a complete computer shutdown at 55 mph just four miles from my home. i was able to get my car almost off the road before it coasted to a stop. during this shutdown i was not able to steer the car, use the brakes, use the gas, or pull safely off the road. after tugging the shifter nob into park and trying to start the car it just made terrible clicking sounds. the service lights would flash and the car would shake as the engine was making these loud clicking sounds. i was not able to restart the car and was forced to leave it where it sat for the tow truck to arrive. i was informed that there was a problem with the power distribution center and it needed to be replaced. i was without a vehicle for 7 days from the time needed to get the part and having to wait for a ride to the dealership to pick my car up. the car continued to shift at odd times and it still lunged when put into park and lights would occasionally flash on dashboard. i assumed that this was due to the new 9 speed transmission. on july 23, 2015 at 1:15pm my car once again suffered a total shutdown identical to the previous one. this situation was far more frightening due to my speed and location of the shutdown. i was traveling at 65mph in heavy traffic on i-26 in north carolina. if not for the alert drivers behind me i would have suffered catastrophic injuries if not death due to losing all speed and steering on a busy interstate.

I purchased my car in sept. 2014. the car that i test drove was nothing like the car i got. when i mentioned the difference to the sales person, he stated that they were the same and that the car had to adjust to the way i drove. i took the car back to the dealer because they forgot to do service work on the car previously and the service manager stated that the car would feel better after 250 miles. i informed him that the car had 500 miles and he stated that it should "feel smoother soon." i took the car back up to mack haik dodge in georgetown tx, where i purchased it and a manager told me that he would like to make things right and i should look for something that i liked and they would help me. the sales person that was going to "help" me was someone that i met at another dealership who told me that his wife had the same car and that half of them came out with problems and the other half was fine. he stated that i probably got one with problems. he stated that they were either great of had issues. i am now going to a different dealership to try and have the recall fixed. the recall is for the problem that i have been telling them for a year. at one point they told me that they could not fix anything because their transmission guy was out on sick leave. my car has been dangerous since i bought it. it hesitates when stepping on the accelerator on the highway. when the car starts out, it lunges forward and feels like a bucking horse. i was embarrassed to put people in my car. i worked with a government agency that transported children and felt terrified to place a child in my car. mack haik has been absolutely horrible. their solution for my problem was to purchase another car with a $200.00 dollar more payment. i've been so frustrated that i considered a lemon law attorney. i contacted chrysler and they said the dealer had to correct the problem. can you help?
90% of the time when in reverse the brakes give a very loud grinding sort of sound as if metal is on metal. the amount of pressure applied on the brakes does not matter as it will happen even with the lightest of pressure. owned this vehicle 28 days and it is in the shop for a second time already, first repair attempt was for the service dept to "break in the brakes" which i have never heard of being needed on a new car and the dealership said that was chrysler's engineering's recommendation. this solved the problem until the moment they brought my car around in the service bay in which it returned but slightly softer when the service manager put it in reverse. over the next couple days it went right back to the loud grinding sound as before and has continued. on my second return, a week later, the dealership has admitted to 5 other 200's having come back with the same issue so far since my first repair attempt. car is in the shop on its 4th day this time around and still waiting for a definite solution to this issue. *tr
A rock got stuck in between the rear wheel and backing plate which caused this loud noise and rear brakes to lock up. *tr
