• 12/27/2014· STEERING,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

  DRIVING ON A WELL CLEARED INTERSTATE IN LIGHT SNOW CONDITIONS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYS BACK AND FORTH LIKE THERE IS NO TRACTION WHILE THE FRONT END HAS TRACTION AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN TRACTION. ONCE STABILIZED AND ONLY DRIVING 20-25MPH WHEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE OR UNDER AND OVERPASS, THE LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE IN THOSE AREAS MAKES THE REAR OF THE CAR SLIDE SIDE TO SIDE. DRIVING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS IN THE HIGHWAY MAKES THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE JUMP TO THE RIGHT. DRIVING IS STABILIZED ON COMPLETELY DRY ROADS OR IN TOWN SNOWPACKED BUT TREATED ROADS. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATES IN EVEN THE MILDEST OF ANY TYPE OF ADVERSE WEATHER. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN OVER 25 MPH WITHOUT OUT THE REAR END SWAYING BACK AND FORTH. DURING THIS SITUATION ALL OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING AT OR NEAR POSTED HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT PROBLEM. *TR

  I PURCHASED A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE IN LATE AUGUST THIS YEAR, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM IN LOW BEAM THAT THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY WITH ONLY 24K MILES. ALSO WHEN TURNING, YOU CANNOT SEE ROAD. HAVE READ ON INTERNET MANY COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS. CHRYSLER HAS NO SOLUTION. DRIVING IN LOW BEAM IS LIKE DRIVING WITH JUST PARKING LIGHTS ON. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 3 MONTHS, AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. MANY, MANY OWNERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET SITES. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR A RIGHT SIDE FRONT ALIGNMENT,, NOW I KNOW WHY, YOU CAN'T SEE THE ROAD WHEN MAKING TURNS. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THESE HEADLIGHTS. *TR

  MY 2014 CHRYSLER 200 IS SUBJECT TO THE S61 RECALL BECAUSE THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR OPERATE PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. FCA SAYS IT HAS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE, BUT IS COMFORTABLE WITH PLACING MY YOUNG DAUGHTER'S LIFE AT RISK EVERY TIME SHE DRIVES. APPARENTLY IT IS CHEAPER FOR THEM TO PAY OFF IN A DEATH THAN REALLY TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLEARLY CAN DO SOMETHING SINCE THEY OFFER REIMBURSEMENT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE FIXED AND THEY NO LONGER USE THAT FAULTY DEVICE IN THEIR NEW VEHICLES. CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE TO WAIT AND SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD AND PROVIDE COMPENSATION TO OWNERS EVEN IF THAT IS A DEAL TO TRADE AT THE CUSTOMER'S BENEFIT FOR AN EQUIVALENT CAR WITHOUT THIS ISSUE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, ONE OF THEIR DEALERS WAS GOING TO "HELP" ME BY OFFERING ME $5000 LESS THAN BLUE BOOK VALUE ON A NEW COMMESURATE VEHICLE AND UPPING MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS BY $200.

  AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES, A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL SUDDENLY FORMED UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AS THE ENGINE OIL COOLER/HOUSING MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT. THE EXACT SOURCE OF THE LEAK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, BUT REPLACING THE UNIT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES OTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR PENTASTAR ENGINES (CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE VEHICLES). A VIDEO DESCRIBING THE UNIT AND ITS POSSIBLE FAILURE MECHANISMS CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JJGNEI1HMNY THE DEALER ASKED IF AN INCORRECT FILTER HAD BEEN INSERTED INTO THE UNIT. HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD DONE ALL BUT ONE FILTER REPLACEMENT, AND THE ONE FILTER THAT WAS NOT REPLACED BY THEM WAS INDEED THE CORRECT FILTER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE DEALER DID THE REPLACEMENT. THE UNIT REPLACEMENT COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $340, BUT LOCATION OF THE REPAIR MEANS THAT IT TAKES AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC ABOUT 3 HOURS TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT CONCERNS ME THAT SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT WOULD BREAK AFTER ONLY 18K MILES AND REQUIRES SUCH AN EXTENSIVE REPAIR EFFORT.
