  STARTED WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMING ON, MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED COMING ON AND A WEEK LATER I PULLED OUT OF THE BANK AND STOPPED ALONE SIDE OF THE CURB AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF, NO RESTARTING AT ALL NOTHING HAPPENS, THE RIGHT INFO PANEL SAID NO BUS, ITS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP NOW AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WONT COME ON.

  I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 NEW. NOW HAVING HEATING ISSUE, HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN A NORTHEAST AND IT'S VERY COLD. I CAN'T GET THE CAR WARM ENOUGH FOR WINDSHIELD TO HEAT ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT DOESN'T ICE UP. THIS COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD WHEN YOUR VISION IS RESTRICTED BECAUSE YOU CANT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO REPAIR. ALSO MY KIDS ARE FREEZING IN THE BACK SEAT. HOW MANY HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS DESIGN ISSUE AND OR TO HAVE A FACTORY RECALL DONE? OR KIDS WITH HYPOTHERMIA?

• 12/30/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THERE ISN'T ANY HEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE . THE DEALER SAID THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ALSO THE THERMOSTAT' S . THE SAID THAT CHRYSLER PUTS IN A CHEMICAL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO FILL IN ANY PIN HOLES AND NOW A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER IT BECOMES SLUDGE AND CLOGS UP THE HEATER CORE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND NOW I HAVE A $2900 BILL THAT I HAVE TO PAY. IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR CHRYSLER TO DO THAT TO THE PUBLIC AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

  I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER 200, THE ENGINE STOPS/FAILS ABOUT EVERY TWO MONTHS WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAN STOP ANYWHERE AND THEY MIGHT REAR END THE CAR OR SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THEY CHANGED THE PCM. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I TOOK THE CAR THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND GAVE IT TO ME AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE 4TH TIME WHEN I TOOK THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. WELL ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM TIRED OF THEM NOT FINDING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT I SPEAK FOR MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS WHEN I SAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE WHOLE CHRYSLER GROUP, ESPECIALLY TO THE 200, WHICH HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NONE ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE SOLUTION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MOPAR MECHANICS NOT FINDING ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PCM, COMPUTER, OR ENGINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

  I HAVE BEEN TIWED TWICE A D STUCK ON SIDE OF THE ROAD 4 TIMES. I'LL BE DRIVING ALONG WHEN EVERYTHING JUST QUITS. ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ONE TIME I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON A HIGHWAY. COULDN'T GET CAR 100% OFF ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TRY TO RESTART CAR IT TRYS TO START. I LET GO OF KEY AND CAJR JUST KEEPS TRYING TO START. AFTER BEING TOWED TWICE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. SO WHEN IT QUITS I GIVE IT ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND IT STARTS. GOOGLED AND PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER, JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2011 AND DID A RECALL ON THE 2015S. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY AREN'T THEY FIXING IT??

• 12/23/2014· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THERE IS LOW HEAT OUTPUT FROM THE HEATER VENTS DUE TO THE HEATER CORE PLUGGING UP WITH "SLUDGE" AS CHRYSLER CALLS IT. THERE IS A CHRYSLER STAR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE HOTLINE CASE, NUMBER S1207000008 EXPLAINING HEATER CORE RESTRICTION DUE TO SLUDGE CAUSING POOR HEATER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF CHRYSLER 200 AND DODGE AVENGERS WHICH I AM SURE CAN BE VERIFIED BY CHRYSLER. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE. THE STAR CASE STATES TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, RADIATOR CAP AND REVERSE FLUSH THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IF THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT CAN BE VERIFIED BY THE TECHNICIAN, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THE SLUDGE. THE SYMPTOM FIRST NOTICED IS LITTLE OR NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THEN PROGRESSIVELY LOWER HEAT OUTPUT THE MORE PLUGGED THE HEATER CORE BECOMES AS TIME GOES ON. I BELIEVE IN COLD CLIMATES THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO STAY ICED OVER, OR BECOME ICED OVER AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD DUE TO WIND CHILL FACTOR OF THE VEHICLE SPEED. IT COULD ALSO BE AGGRAVATED BY THE FACT THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNS WITH THE HEATER ON DEFROST ( TO DRY INTERIOR AIR IN ORDER TO DE-FOG THE WINDSHIELD IN HUMID OR RAINY WEATHER) WHICH FURTHER COOLS THE ALREADY COLD AIR COMING FROM THE DEFROSTER VENT IF THE HEATER CORE EVENTUALLY BECOMES COMPLETELY PLUGGED. IN HOT CLIMATES, THE HEATER CORE STILL PLUGS UP, HOWEVER THE CUSTOMER MAY NEVER NOTICE THE SYMPTOMS. I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE CHRYSLER ACADEMY MASTER CERTIFIED IN ALL CORE CURRICULUM, POWERTRAIN, ELECTRICAL AND CHASSIS. ASE MASTER AND ADVANCED LEVEL CERTIFIED (A1 THROUGH A9 AND L1) ASE CERTIFIED PARTS SPECIALIST(P2)AND SERVICE CONSULTANT(C1) AND I HAVE AN AOS DEGREE IN AUTOMOTIVE TRADES FROM SUNY ALFRED.

  THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY ON MY CAR THAT STARTED ON OCTOBER 1, 2016. WHEN I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER IT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO CURRENT REMEDY. IT'S NOW DECEMBER AND THERE STILL IS NO REMEDY WHICH MEANS THAT THE PROBLEM WON'T BE FIXED IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. IF OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK BECAUSE A CAR COMPANY CAN'T GET OFF ITS [XXX] AND FIX THIS, THEN THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO INTERVENE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KNOW THAT IT MIGHT NOT PROTECT ME COMPLETELY IF I GET IN A CRASH WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

  WHEN PURCHASED THIS CAR, NOTICED THAT IT PULLED SEVERLY TO THE LEFT, SPOKE TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR FRONT WHEEL DRIVES TO DO SO. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT ALWAYS HAVING TO BE ON ALERT WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IF CAR WAS GOING TO JERK OFF ROAD. THIS CAR HANDLES HORRIBLE! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL IF ANY CONTROL WAS LOST, THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL DUE TO THIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DENIED THAT I HAVE EVER BROUGHT THIS UP, BUT WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING AROUND 7000.00 MILE I THEN BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND NEW BRAKES! OK I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR... I TOLD THEM NO, HOW COULD THAT BE. WELL SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE THE CYLANDER REPLACED AND THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THE JERKING WITH A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WHICH BY THE WAY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. IT STILL IS HARD TO CONTROL AND COULD ONLY DO 30 MILE AN HR IN SNOW BEFORE IT WOULD LOOSE CONTROL. I HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS AND HAVE ADDRESSED CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST TELL ME ITS THE MAKE OF THE CAR AND THAT MY BRAKES SQUEALING ARE BECAUSE ASBESTOS IS NO LONGER IN BRAKES. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY AND HAVE DRIVEN MORE CARS THAN THIS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRENTY AND STATED THAT WAS ALL ANYONE COULD DO . I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND BECASUE I AM IN A LEASE I CAN NOT GET OUT OF THIS CAR. ONLY WHEN IT CRASHES WILL ANYONE MAYBE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SEEKING THE STATE ATTORNEY IN IDAHO TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE . *TR

  I own a 2012 Chrysler 200, That I Purchased Used but in excellent condition from a reputable dealer, and had a private pre-purchase inspection by a Mechanic (showing no major issues, and I have that report). I drove my car for just around 10-14 months, performed regular maintenance, and had no issues mechanically or otherwise. On the date this Incident occurred I had travelled in the car throughout that day doing some shopping (and the vehicle ran perfectly). We got home around 8:45pm, I dropped my nana off, and got in the car to go get some dinner. While still on my road (which is dark, curvy, has drop offs and no shoulders) as I rounded a curve my car with NO WARNING, completely died. I lost engine power, power steering, lights, headlights, and my brakes became incredibly weak. I could not be seen be seen by other motorists could not use my hazards, and just by dumb luck I made it over the hill with my momentum and had to struggle( NO Pwr. Steeing) to steer across the other lane on a blind curve with no lights, I was nearly hit by another driver, and got into a vacant lot and required my brake + Emrg. Brake to get the car stopped before it hit the structure on the lot. (I know for a fact I had no warning either mechanically or warning light - because I was looking at my dash panel checking speed at the time of failure) I had to have it towed home. A mechanic diagnosed it as a TIPM failure. After researching I found that this was a widely known/occurring failure on several Chrysler branded vehicles, It is a serious safety hazard for obvious reasons - I nearly got hit myself. Chrysler even recalled the faulty TIPM's on some of their BRAND NEW models but refuses to help owners who's cars are 4-5+ years old. And I can't even spend the Ludacris amount of money for a new one because without a recall and resolution of the defect, I'm just buying another Defective TIPM for $1000+ dollars. This is not only a danger to those in defective cars but others on the road.

  UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. THE ENGINE STALLS AND LOSS OF STEERING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ACCELERATION IS ONLY AT 20% OF WHAT IT NORMALLY IS WITH INTERMITTENT THRUST OF POWER FOLLOWED BY ENGINE FAILURE. THIS LASTS FOR SEVERAL MILES THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA A OUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE VEHICLES AND IF U TAKE IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE. IT SAYS THE VEHICLE IS FINE WHEN THEY PLUG IT IN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO AND THE INTERNET IS SWAMPED BY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR, THIS SAME YEAR OR AROUND THE SAME YEAR... WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE.

  I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST IN REGARD TO OUR 2012 CHRYSLER 200 WITH 3.6 V6 ENGINE OF EPISODES OF PMU SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY STILL COVERED THE VEHICLE WHEN WE FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WE NOW ARE OVER 60,000 MILES AS CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM YET. THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE DRIVING (3 TIMES ADDITIONAL TIMES), AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY , WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES; ALL COMPUTER SUPPORT SYSTEMS FAILED, BUT ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STILL WORKED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CHECKED 4 TIMES AFTER EACH OF THE STALLING EPISODES, THE PMU COMPUTER SHOWS NO CODES (PER CHRYSLER AND THE DEALER) THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIX. THE LAST EPISODE THE ESC DASH LITE CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE AND THE ABS LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON & OFF WHICH CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED OR ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED WAS LOST(AGAIN THERE WERE NO CODES) THE LAST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPEN WERE 11/30/16 & 12/1/16. I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER FIAT BUT THE DEALER ANI I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY SERVICE OR SUGGESTION IN RESOLVING THIS PMU PROBLEM. IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. THERE SHOULD BE SOME INFORMATION AVAILABLE, AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR MANY MODELS WITH THE 3.6 V-6 ENGINE AND OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTICES TO DEALERS AND REPLACED PMU. RECALLS HAVE BEEN AVOIDED AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, OR DEATHS. IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH YOUR 3.6 V6 CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA.

  DEFROST DOESN'T WORK. DEALERSHIP CALLS FOR REPLACING RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND OIL COOLER DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD-UP/CLOGGING IN COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE COOLANT USED BY CHRYSLER AND THE CHEMICALS/OILS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM. THIS IS 100% A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE DEALER & MANUFACTURER ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE. FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012/2013 CHRYSLER 200, REGARDLESS OF ENGINE TYPE.

THIS HAS BEEN ON AN ISSUE NOW SINCE THE SEASON CHANGED & IT IS COLD. I DO NOT HAVE A GRAND TO SPEND NOR DO I HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE .

  THE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION OF THE 2012 C/200 IS DRIVING BLIND AT NIGHT AND DANGEROUS. THERE IS AN EXTREMELY LIMITED FIELD OF VISION AND FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH CURTAIN OVER THE LIGHTS. THE LIGHT AIMS REAL LOW AND THE BULB IS TOO SMALL. USING HIGH BEAM IS NOT MUCH BETTER. SEVERAL TIMES I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND PERSON. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING BLIND AND HAVE CONFINED MYSELF TO NOT DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE HAS TO BE A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DID NOT EMIT HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DEFROST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

  PASSENGER SIDE PUSHES OUT COLD AIR, TERRIBLE TO DRIVE IN AND UNCOMFORTABLE. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ALTERNATOR AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY WINDSHIELD FROSTED OVER FROM BEING SO COLD AND I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT.

• 12/06/2017· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  BOTH THE DASH AND PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROSTERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS NOT JUST A COMFORT ISSUE. THE RESTRICTED VISIBILITY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE COST TO FIX IS RIDICULOUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER.

  I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER 200 AND THE ALL HAVE FAULTY HEATER CORE

• 12/06/2016· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  MY VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 54,000 MILES. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING COLDER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WILL NOT REACH A WARM ENOUGH TEMPERATURE TO BE COMFORTABLE OR TO ADEQUATELY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE PARTS INVOLVED ARE THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR.

• 12/06/2014· SEAT BELTS

  SOON AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 S THE REAR SAFETY BELTS BEGAN LOCKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE LOCK WAS SO HARSH THAT THE BELT WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND REAPPLIED. THE RESTRAINT HAS CONTINUOUSLY LOCKED CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BE PINNED TO HIS OR HER SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE REAR RESTRAINT NO MATTER THE SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. *TR

  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.

• 12/05/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD BATTERY REPLACED SINCE THE BATTERY WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD. CAR HAS ONLY 29582 MILES ON IT. SEEMED TO FIX THEN WHILE DRIVING 3 MILES LATER BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALER THE MEXT MORNING. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARDONE BY ONE UNTIL IT CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET DURING DAY. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIFTING INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I CAN ONLY ASSUME OT MAY BE THE ALTERNATOR SINCE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW NOW. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS PART OF CAMPAIGN #17V-435 BUT MY CAR IS A CHRYSLER 200 3.6 ENGINE 6 CYLINDER TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND THAT RECALL DOES NOT SHOW 200'S ON THE NOTICE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICIES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.. I BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND FAITHFULLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES.
