2016 Chrysler 200

STARTING IN OCTOBER 2018 THIS CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME FOR NO REASON AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I WILL BE DRIVING AND IT WILL CUT OFF AND TELL ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. SOMETIMES IT CRANKS BACK UP OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO LANDMARK CHRYSLER FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AND EACH TIME THE CAR DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. THIS HAS ENDANGERED MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY TWO YEAR OLD SON. AFTER COMPLETING TWO DIFFERENT OIL CONSUMPTION TEST LANDMARK(MORROW,GA) STILL HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO THE WARRANTY COMPANY WON'T FIX THE CAR. THEY KNOW THAT IT'S USING TOO MUCH OIL BUT THEY CLAIM THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THEY JUST TRY TO GET YOU TO TRADE IT IN FOR ANOTHER CAR WITH A HIGHER PAYMENT. THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS WHEN THIS CAR HAS CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE BUT THAT HAS GOTTEN ME NO WHERE BECAUSE THE PERSON I SPEAK WITH (WILL IN CUSTOMER CARE) DOES NOTHING AND CLAIMS THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE A SUPERVISOR THAT I CAN CONTACT.

I'VE BEEN INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OVER 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THIS CAR IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY CAR CREATES A VERY HARD JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS OR SPEEDING UP. IT ALSO SHAKES WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON AND I AM ONLY GETTING ABOUT 15 MI TO THE GALLON WHEN IT SHOULD BE 27. I'VE LEFT MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE, WORKED WITH THE DEVICE DEPARTMENT, WORKED WITH CHRYSLER AND THE SITUATION AND SAFETY CONCERN IS STILL NOT RECTIFIED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. IT'S MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MYSELF, MY 3 BABIES, AND OTHER DRIVERS SAFE. THANK YOU!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, "PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICHARDSON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1321 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080, (214) 329-0862) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,550.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, A CHIME SOUNDED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS MOTORS (1300 US-83 BUS, MCALLEN, TX 78501) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART CAR MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO START. TURNED CAR OFF AND CHECK OIL APPEARS TO BE FULL. WENT TO RESTART CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO START CAR AND WHILE ALL LIGHTS AND BEEPING CAME ON CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN OVER A 15 MIN PERIOD. CAN NOT PUSH BREAK DOWN AND WHEN PUSH THE START BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENS. CAR HAS ALSO STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN THE LAST YEAR. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATES ITS DUE TO OIL AND IT APPEARS CAR IS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. CHRYSLER STATES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO A SAFETY MECHANISM TO NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT DUE TO LOW OIL. AS OIL HAS APPEARED FULL AND CHECKED MULTIPLE TIME UNSURE AS TO WHY THE CAR WOULD DO THIS.

OIL CONSUMPTION AND ELECTRIC WIRING PROBLEMS CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO GO OUT AND BLOW HOT AIR. THE OIL CONSUMPTION WILL NEED ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED. OIL CONSUMPTION ALMOST CAUSED WRECK BECAUSE CAR WILL THROW CAR IN PARK AT UNEXPLAINED TIMES BECAUSE OIL IS LOW EVEN WHEN OIL WAS CHANGED. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON EITHER EVEN OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. DRIVER IS UNAWARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WEST COVINA CHRYSLER (298 N AZUSA AVE, WEST COVINA, CA 91791) FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE IT WAS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT INDICATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD CONSUME A LOT OF OIL, ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER STANDARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,086. *TR CONSUMER STATED OUR VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. OIL LEAK WAS FOUND AND THE OIL WAS 1 QUART LOW. THERE WERE ALSO SOME ENGINE ISSUES AS SHOWN ON (INVOICE 150760). ON DEC 11, 2018, I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE WHICH HAD 15855 MILES, AND I RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING 4 MILES DUE TO THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGH AND STALLED. THIS IS THE 2"D ISSUE. OIL LEAK FOUND, WAS 1 QUART LOW AS WELL AS MORE ENGINE ISSUES AS SHOWN ON ( INVOICE 151016 ). ON MAY 31, 2019 AT 21086 MILES, 1 QUART LOW BELOW THE SAFE MARKER ON DIPSTICK.

CAR WILL NOT START, PUT FOOT DOWN ON BREAK AND PRESS THE IGNITION AND NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE ENGINE. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, SCREENS TURN ON BUT NOT THE ENGINE.I HAVE TESTED THE BATTER, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER AND ALL ARE GOOD.IF I WAIT THE CAR WILL START AGAIN JUST FINE LATER. CAN WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING THIS HAPPENS IN THE AFTERNOON.

THIS EVENING WHEN DRIVING MY CAR THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND CUT OFF A NUMBER OF THREE TIMES WITHIN A 10 MINUTE SPAN. ONCE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB, SECOND WHEN COMING TO A FULL STOP AT THE PARKING LOT ENTRANCE AND LAST AS I WAS BEGINING THE MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON RAMP. THE DAY PRIOR THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES AT VARIOUS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MY VEHICLE IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHT OR INDICATORS THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THE ONLY NOTIFICATION WAS TO "SHIFT CAR TO PARK TO START ENGINE". THIS ISSUE NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THIS EVENING. THIS IS HIGHLY CONCERNING AS THIS ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY COST MY FAMILY OR MYSELF OUR LIVES SHOULD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT THE WRONG MOMENT. I'VE SEARCHED NUMEROUS SITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS WELL AS ONES PRODUCED PRIOR TO 2016. THIS CONCERN IS LIFE THREATENING AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH WITH SOME FORM OF REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
