2011 Chrysler 200 Engine problems

Formal Customer Complaint request for manufacturer assistance. Vehicle, 2011 Chrysler200 Touring, VIN [[redacted]], engine3.6L V6. I am the current owner and I'm requesting Chrysler open a case to review intermittent stalling, starting and electrical problems and an HVAC defrost actuator that repeatedly cycles and fails calibration, raising a concern about windshield defrost visibility. I've replaced parts and done diagnostics, but problems persist. I request that Chrysler investigate, review the VIN history,...

2011 Chrysler 200, 156k miles, Original owner. At Highway Speeds engine will shut off! Extremely dangerous as you lose power steering and brakes on a busy interstate. No warning lights. No check engine. Issue just started happening and has happened multiple times in last 3 weeks. Car is unsafe to drive. After occurrence car will restart after about 30 minutes. I do not know why NHTSA or Chrysler hasn't done anything to initiate an investigation and recall. This issue is widely reported on many forums. After second...

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle occasionally failed to start-up as needed. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

I bought a 2011 chrysler 200 sedan in the summer of 2021. In december of2021, I took my car to a dealership because my heater didn't work. Upon their diagnosis, they said I had a bad heater core. Because I had just purchased the car, they agreed to take off $400 off the repair. It still cost me $1100.00. Fast forward two years and the same thing happened. Unfortunately, the warranty expired 1 month earlier. I believe this is bad designed unit. Upon researching problems with this car, it comes up as a pretty common occurance. I know they don't build this vehicle anymore. I believe chrysler should've come up with a design fix for this.

I already have a compliant from back in January of 2022 and original incident date of December 2021. I am still having the same issue with the engine stalling while driving. This keeps happening on highways. At this point the government and Chrysler are a joke. This is supposed to be highway safety yet you guys are letting us with Chryslers deal with this and put our life at risk. Not everyone has the ability to have another car to drive, or just has money to trade their vehicle in. I dont get how this "problem"...

My car will die sometimes upon acceleration and does not restart for up to an hour sometime. No check engine light comes on. From my research online, a lot of people are having the same issue and are reporting it to be a faulty PCM (Powertrain Control Module). My RPM drops to zero and I have to coast to the shoulder of the road. It happens at least once a week.

The vehicle repeatedly stalls out when coming to a stop or when sitting at a stop light or in traffic, and has also shut off while driving at higher speeds on the freeway. This has put myself and passengers in danger, as power steering goes out when the engine is off and braking becomes much harder. The car will not turn back on if the problem occurs at higher speeds, but will turn back on if it occurs at lower speeds and stops. I have taken the car to several shops and they have confirmed this is an issue but...

i will be driving at the speed limit and the vehicle engine will turn off. power steering and control of the vehicle will stop. the car will not restart leaving me stranded on the road. this appears to be an issue that others are reporting. there is NO check engine light or any notification that the engine is about to stop.

car keeps shutting off with no warning loss of brakes and steering and no acellation this issue was brought up before but not addresse on

The car begins to buck hard and drive sluggish on the highway around 45 miles per hour. And when stopped idle at the light stalls regularly. I took it to the dealer and they had me replace the cam shift sensor. The repair did not work. It continues to stall

On multiple occasions, the car will stall while driving, locking up the whole system and forcing the driver to coast to the side of the road. The car will not restart for 30-40 minutes while you sit stranded on the side of the road. Searches on the car reveal this is not the only one it is happening to. This needs to be investigated as a car stalling on the freeway in 0 degree weather is a major hazard.

My engine is misfiring out of the clear blue. And when I say misfire I mean my vehicle will literally shut off mid-drive as you're in traffic. Everything completely shuts off and the wheel will lock up. So if you're not somewhere where you can pull over a pile up will ensue. I have taken it to a shop when the car cut off on the highway for the 3rd with what I thought was the issue. I spent large amounts of money for the shutting off to continue. When I picked it up from the shop the car shut off again about two...

1) The engine suddenly cut off, power braking and power steering were gone. This happens randomly under any circumstances, with absolutely no precursors. The car will not start for about an hour, and after that time it starts with absolutely no issues, no check engine light, nothing. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. 2) While driving on the highway at about 65mph, all power was lost, and ability to control the car was extremely limited, and this happened multiple times. Only by pure fortune I...

Yesterday, when I was dropping Christmas, presents off to my son at his moms' house. My 2011 Chrysler 200, Convertible limited with 3.6L v6 Pentastar flex-fuel motor. temp gauge went all the way up into Red. Which had to cross lanes on highway so I could get off on the freeway ramp. which I made it a block and the car stalled in below-freezing temps with no heat figuring out what to do as I get out of the vehicle I noticed brown motor oil bubbling and gushing out a Coolant reservoir With oil streaks all the way...

This is the third time the engine completely shut off in the middle of driving. First time it started back up after 5 minutes. Second time started back up after being jumped eventhough the battery had charge. This last time the car would not start. It has the power it was turning over but the engine would not start. Power steering turned off in both occasions. I had to have me vehicle towed and it still will not start. I was driving approximately 60 mph on a paved highway route 244, it turned off on a straight away, no hills or turns.

Heater core plugs from the dexcool braking down, then finally starts to leak causing lack of heat, eventually fogging the windows so you can't see causing multiple safety hazards. Common problem from what I see on line! You don't realize in summer when you buy the car till you go to use it in the spring and it's not covered under warranty!

RECALL ON CATYLITIC CONVERTER

THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

While driving, usually decelerating or getting ready to stop or already stopped and getting ready to accelerate the engine will stall or completely shut off, will be completely hot, will take about 15-20 minutes and then will start again. This has caused my son safety issues where he's completely stopped running on a busy road and then had to push the car into either a parking lot without power steering (hard to do by himself at 18 yo) or into a driveway. This has also happened in the country at night. No lights...

While driving, the vehicle loses all power. Just shuts down. No warning. No warning lights. No code. No check engine light.

The chrysler 200 will stall out of the blue and the engine will completely shut off. It has happened 3 times within the past month. It always happens when you let up on the accelerator. All the times it happened was while in the city. It happens while always in drive and on the road. 3 Times had to get it towed. And every time after we got it home it would start up like nothing happened. Please help. Its very frustrating

The car stalls when it slows down or comes to a stop (for example at a red light). So far, it starts up with no problem. However, I believe this is potentially dangerous if it stalls in heavy traffic. There is no check engine light and despite attempting a variety of fixes, so far nothing has solved the problem.

The car has started to overheat and heater did not work but that has since started working on its own. Now car overheated and when driving it sounds as if water or something is trying to go through pipe but maybe isnt also started to leak all coolant. And battery is being drained. Had the car checked and replaced thermostat but that didnt fix issue.Also when driving all lights on dash turned on and started to beep. Was just arriving at a store and when I came out car did not turn on. Had a tow truck come out and they jump started me and said something was draining my battery. Also when pumping gas it constantly stops and you have to keep pressing handle or move it around.
