2014 Chrysler 200 Complaints

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 contact owns 2014 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle was shuddering and chugging. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle became undrivable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The mechanic related the failure to an unknown recall. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was restricted. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

The steering wheel has become harder to steer i.e., some resistance can be felt during steering. Also, at a certain angle it makes a hissing sound as if gas is being leaked from a pipe.

Both the driver and passaged (front seat) head rests have deployed. When looking inside them (parts are exposed since they have pooped and stayed open in a projected position) broken pieces are visible. Therefore, the headrests cannot be popped back into their proper position. This is extremely dangerous because the headrests could have deployed while we were driving. Also, the headrests no longer serve their purpose of providing safety to people riding in the front seat. There was no car accident or hit from the back. The headrests deployed (popped open like an air bag and cannot be closed) on their own. Many Chrysler 200 owners have complained about this safety issue. Chrysler should do something to help us consumers. I’m disappointed.
