While driving this vehicle the car would shut down while driving, no ability to brake, to steer. The car would start back up, but the same issues would happen, making it extremely dangerous to drive. This happened on several different occasions. One of my issues with this problem is that Chrysler had the same issue with the 2015 Chrysler 200 and the 2015 was recalled. If you look at sites other than Chrysler, customers had reported the same problem with the 2014 and it looks like Chrysler just swept it under the rug. The dealership is saying that the TIPM system needs to be replaced on my car, for a cost of $3000.00 for a know problem.

The vehicle stalled out while driving on the interstate. No warnings and no engine lights came on. We were slowing down to a stop because of construction. The car is available if inspection is requested. I had the fuel system serviced with fuel pump replaced. It is unknown if the mechanic was able to confirm the stall out. I picked the vehicle up today and it seemed to run smoothly, then it stalled out driving thru an intersection without warning.

My wife and daughters almost died in a car accident due to the apparent failure of this vehicle. We were driving on an HWY at night and the car just died out of nowhere.

no airbags deployed which is what caused the injuries to be so much worse. After reading multiple complaints on NHTSA about the same issue for the same year and make I am baffled that this issue has not been addressed. I almost lost my family.

My chrysler 200 has been experiencing intermittent power loss and stalling. When driving the engine plus electrical power shuts down which leads to a loss of power steering. This situation almost caused a accident while on the freeway. In my research I have found many others who have the same complaint. The electrical system on this make/model has a 'very bad' rating on nhtsa website.

My vehicle just leaked all the oil completely. I know a significant oil leak checked the oil and their was absolutely nothing. I sent it in for repairs and it happened to be a broken oil cooler. My big concerns is if the oil wasn't cooling right/transferring I wonder what effect sit had on my engine. For a three year old vehicle that's a huge and sad defect.
