Latest 200 lighting complaints
Radio not working. Headlights quit working. Replaced them both. Within 5 minutes, one bulb exploded. Next day it won't crank.
** Occasional stalling, when stopped or when driving normal speeds, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes longer. Fuel pump was replaced, problem continued, 2nd fuel pump installed, problem continues. Mechanic believes it is the TIPM, Totally Integrated Power Module. ** Headlights sometimes turn off while driving when totally dark. Not an issue of any ambient triggering headlight to turn off. I had headlights replaced, problem continues. It can only be resolved by turning headlights off, then back on. I...

suspect TIPM controls headlights set to AUTO, as headlights have a delay turn off when exiting the car. ** Horn turns on intermittently, when car is on or off. It will have short beeps or stay on for long periods. It may happen every few minutes, or days apart. As part of the alarm system, I suspect this could be another TIPM issue. Only resolution was to disconnect and drive without horns. Other randomly occurring issues that are likely due to TIPM: ** Smart front passenger window is erratic. The window should drop down 1/4 in when the door handle is pulled and as long as the door is open. When the door is open, the window will usually go back up (it shouldn't) but sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it keeps going up and down continuously, then stop, then start again. **Convertible top operation is erratic. It has many interlocks and sometimes it gets stuck 1/2 or 3/4 while opening, sometimes it may or not respond when closing. These problems have happened over the last year or so.
The front blinker lights stopped working but only when lights are off they only work when lights are on or on automatic
My turn signal lights are not working all of sudden
On november 21, 2020, the 7th day I purchased my car from car max, I drove my car from tx to ar. Nearly halfway to ar the dashboard lights started flickering and went off and on several times. I could not believe it has it during the day time. Once I arrived in ar, the dashboard continued to flicker but there were no error messages on the dashboard to indicate a problem. Later that night, I drove to the store and in the store parking lot the car quit on me after the lights flickered several times!!! I am...

The dashboard lights and the head and back lights will flicker on and off. The car has shut off while driviing in traffic. Sometimes it doesnt start at all , I have to baqng the door and then the loghtas will come on. I put a brand new battery and altintor in the car and my nechnanic doesnt have a clue what is wrong woth it. Believe it to be the computer system.
He car automatical speed up.And the light keep going out
While driving home from work my 2015 chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work..And leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons..This needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!
So it all started when my car radio shorted out and wasn't working and my odometer started flashing. After about a week of driving with the radio unplugged, the car battery starts draining itself to a dead battery. Now the car sits and doesn't hold a charge for more than 1 hour. My dash lights up on its own when the key fobs are not in or near the car. I've changed the battery's to the key fobs and when I attempt to start the car it states that the key fob is not detected.
On 1/12/2020 while driving home from work I turned on my right turn signal to merge and it rapidly clicked and flashed on the dash after the initial 3 normal flashes and I noticed the car in the lane next to me wasn't acknowledging my turn signal. Once home an hour later, I realized my passenger rear tail light was steadily light (not flashing) even though my car was off and my lights were not engaged and position off. I could not get my turn signal/tail light to turn off. The brake lights work fine when the brake...

is applied but the tail lights will not turn off. The rear signal won't work either since the light won't turn off to flash. I had to remove the light from the rear fender and unplug the light so my car won't die and plug it back in when I go to drive so I atleast have the tail and brake light on while driving. I can find no info on how to fix this and chrysler wasn't any help. The problem is still unresolved, but it did go off for just one moment, flickered and came back on when I plugged it back in the last time I drove.
I own a 2012 chrysler 200, I love my car; however, the head lights are pointing towards the ground making it almost impossible to see anything in front of me while driving. I've changed replaced the headlight bulbs as well as cleaned the headlamp. Unknown 2. During the winter months my car makes the grinding noise when starting up.
1) Power train-while traveling on interstate at 65mph the transmission pops out of gear. I had to pull over put the car in park and then back to drive before it would go. It also happened when I was pulling away from a stop sign making a right turn it popped out of gear and wouldn't go. I drifted to the side of the road stopped, went to park and back to drive. The car acts confused form time to time. From a stop position at take off the transmission jerks and then thumps before it goes into gear. 2). Cruise...

control- traveling down interstate in the mountain region of n. Georgia, my cruise was set for 55mph. The cruise picked up speed up to 70 mph then the car started jerking very confused at what it was suppose to be doing. The brake wouldn't release the cruise control. I did get it released once the rpm's settled down. It has happen several times at various locations in the mountains and on flat ground. 3) The head lights are the worst lights I've ever seen on a car. When going down the road you may have 30 ft. That you can see in front of you. When going up and incline what so ever. Your visibility from the headlight is approximately 20 foot in front of you. Terrible headlights. Its scary going up any incline not being able to see what's 25 foot in front of you. All of these issues have been reported at my dealership. All of these issues have happen on more than one occasion.
The turn signal started working on its own and the wipers started working on there own then they just quit working.
