While driving, my vehicle suffered a sudden, complete loss of power brake assist. The pedal became rock hard, required extreme force to stop, and the vehicle barely stopped. The dash displayed "Service Electronic Braking System" plus ABS and brake warning lights. Inspection found ENGINE OIL inside the brake booster. The engine-mounted vacuum pump is leaking oil through the vacuum supply tube into the booster, destroying the diaphragm and eliminating assist. This is the identical defect in NHTSA recall 15V-800 (FCA...

R63) for the 2013-2014 Dodge Dart with the same 2.4L Tigershark engine family, which describes "engine oil migration from the vacuum pump, through the vacuum supply tube, and into the brake booster" causing loss of assist that "could cause a crash without warning." This is the SECOND failure. The brake booster was replaced about 3 years ago; the identical failure recurred because the oil source was never fixed. Chrysler's own bulletin TT-68166807-AB directs dealers to replace the pump, supply tube, booster AND master cylinder when oil is found in the booster - proof the manufacturer knows this defect. This car shares the Dart's vacuum pump brake assist design yet was never recalled. Many other 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 owners have filed complaints describing this exact failure, including crashes. Please investigate extending the 15V-800 remedy to the Chrysler 200. Date of incident: [11/10/26]. Mileage: [119724]. Crash/injuries: [None].
While driving or operating the vehicle, the power distribution box will lose power or shut down overall power. After extensive testing it has been determined that this is due to the grounding harness from the PDB to the transmission. All mechanics in the area diagnosed the problem as a bad motor. Paid for the motor replacement only to experience the same exact issues. Receipts available upon request.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact became aware that the driver's side headrest had detached. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic.

I was driving home from 7-Eleven and was approaching a sharp left turn. All of a sudden my steering wheel locked; it was extremely difficult to move then I went straight into a ditch and broke my front wheel axle and damaged my back right panel. All because my steering wheel locked on me.
I was attempting to turn around on my street and was hit on the driver's side by an oncoming car. Immediately thereafter, I tried to pull into a nearby driveway, but the car seemed to suddenly accelerate tremendously and plowed into the back of a parked car in that driveway. I was trying to brake but had no time as the car accelerated so suddenly. It damaged my grill and the bumper of the car that was hit. It appears that other owners of the Chrysler 200C have experienced similar issues with it accelerating when the driver is trying to brake.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced electrical issues that caused the instrument panel to be blank intermittently, and the cruise control failed to disengage.
