 During pe12-016, chrysler identified a condition in model year (my) 2011 chrysler 200 and dodge avenger vehicles equipped with 3.6l engines that may result in engine stall when stopped or travelling at very low speeds.according to chrysler, this condition occurs when the powertrain control module (pcm) initiates a purge monitor check while the engine is at idle which can result in an overly rich vapor condition and cause the engine to stall while stopped.chrysler developed a software countermeasure to address the condition and has initiated a customer satisfaction campaign to reprogram the pcm on all affected vehicles. the bulletin was sent to dealers on september 28, 2012 and the owner letter mailing began on october 5, 2012.see the investigative file for copies of chrysler's bulletin and owner letter.the office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed complaints related to engine stall that were provided by chrysler or submitted to odi from consumers.the predominant failure mode identified involved stalling when stopped or travelling at low speeds.the complaint counts shown in this resume include incidents in which enough detail was available to verify the symptoms were related to the defect condition identified by chrysler.two complaints alleged engine stall resulting in collisions, one involving very minor damage and one involving a single vehicle road departure crash in which the vehicle was totalled.in the first incident, the vehicle stalled while stopped at an intersection and rolled back into a following vehicle resulting in a minor scratch in the rear bumper.in the second incident, the vehicle was totalled from damage sustained from striking a tree after failing to negotiate a sharp turn in wet road conditions.the police report does not include any references to stalling as a cause or contributor, but cites excessive speed entering the turn.although there was evidence or prior history with stalling when stopped, there is no evidence that engine stall was a factor in the crash.the condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or very low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately.the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by chrysler's service campaign. this preliminary evaluation is closed.the odi reports cited above can be viewed at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/complaints under the following identification numbers (odi nos.):10458865, 10458713, 10456385, 10456270, 10452622, 10452327, 10451870, 10451243, 10450745, 10450609, 10449370, 10448136, 10446374, 10443383, 10428753, 10463086, 10463085, 10462966, 10462908, 10462901, 10462851, 10462772, 10462720, 10462702, 10462691.

 While setting the cruise control on this rental vehicle (enterprise car rental), my knee accidentally bumped the ignition which ended up turning the car off. realizing that the car was slowing down, i assumed that the cruise control setting hadn't taken. i tried to give the car gas manually and couldn't get the car to speed up. unable to maintain speed, i attempted to maneuver the car to the shoulder amongst trucks and cars going 65 mph + on the 3 lane interstate highway. the hazards and turn signals were inoperable and the steering locked up. i narrowly escaped collision. i was able to restart the car on the shoulder and continue traveling. *tr

 I purchased a 2011 chrysler 200 in july of 2011. i have had multiple incidents where my vehicle has stalled with my foot on the brake sitting at a stop light. i have taken in the vehicle to be serviced 4 times in 1 year for this reason. and i have been told each time it is something different causing the problem. also i have had two incidents where my vehicle would not start. i have had to have it towed twice in one month to the dealership, and both times i have been told it was my fuel pump. and there is one other time i took my vehicle in because it would have a slow crank and this incident i was told it was my battery so they replaced that. also just to mention my vehicle is currently only has 17,280 miles on it.

 The chrysler 200 engine will stall when coming to a stop or already stopped. the engine fades slowly away and then completely turns itself off. this entire engine failing process lasts for approximately 7 seconds. this engine failure pose a significant safety risk and something needs to be done chrysler dealership are aware of this issue, but unfortunately don't have an answer for a resolution of it. this issue needs to be looked at much closer and in-depth, since further delays could cause accidents and death. i plead that chrysler takes responsibility for this problem and commence a recall program of the chrysler 200 model. i've personally experienced the engine failing 4 times already. i brought it into the chrysler dealership and have them take a look at it. i had to let the car sit at their shop for 2 days and they did not offer/give a free rental car for me. this car is under 1 year old. prior to chrysler i only owned foreign cars because of the perceived notion that american made cars are not reliable. i decided to give it a chance and wanted to buy american, so i got the chrysler 200. so far that decision has turned out to be a big mistake (unless chrysler offers a resolution to this problem). i don't want to lose faith in the american car company and hope that they do the right thing.

 This is the 2nd time this has happened in 11 months. (not sure of the exact date prior to most recent) was slowing to a stop, and once stopped, the car stalled. both times it happened the check engine light was not illuminated. everything on the dash appeared to work normally. lights on, radio on, etc. i happened to feel the car rolling backwards, while stopped, and both times stood on the brakes to prevent the car from rolling back and striking the vehicle stopped behind me. (first time i actually thought i hit the car, but checked and did not see any damage) car restarted ok each time, and proceeded normally. in both instances, i was slowing to a stop (once from coming off the highway and stopping at a traffic light at the top of the exit ramp, and another time slowing to a stop from about 45 mph, on a city street) haven't notified the dealership (yet!) but became aware of this issue when i researched this on the internet. add 1 more chrysler 200 to the stalling issue!

 When shifting into reverse or drive it has a hard jolt when going into gear. sometimes it is so hard that it jerks your body and head/neck, and it sounds like the transmission is going to unbolt from under the car. it does it a couple times a day, and then may stop for a few days but always comes back. i have noticed on the days it is not doing it i average more mpg, and when it is doing it the mpg continuously decreases when it is occuring multiple days in a row. on the days that it is doing it my transmission sounds more whiny than than usual. i have also had issues when putting it into gear, and pushing the gas pedal it tries to stall. it is a problem, and not just the way those motors are. if it was just the way the motor is then it would do it every time you put it in gear, and not come and go and be much worse on some days than others. as time passes the jolting is getting worse and harder. also, my brakes make an awful squeeking/grinding noise when stopping slowly (stop sign) or backing up. when the car was checked i was told they could not find anything wrong with the car or brakes. this is very agrivating because it was bought brand new, and i am having these issues. i am making payments on a vehicle that is having these types of issues, and i do not feel safe in it. the way the transmissions acts i am afraid of what it may do while driving down the road. *tr

 Since purchasing this vehicle on 12/26/2011, the vehicle has stalled, completely turned off 3 different times while stopped at an intersection waiting for a traffic light to change. in all three instances, i had to put the vehicle in park and it restarted. i feel that this is dangerous and seems to be related to nhtsa action number pe12016. i am going to take it to the dealer but before i did, i wanted to see if other owners were having the same problem or if anything had been recalled when i discovered the numerous complaints. *tr

 My first problem is an worsening squeaking and grinding in my brakes. i purchased the car in oct 2011 and started having squeaking brakes in march 2012. i have returned my car to the buying dealership three times prior to my 12,000 brake warrenty. i was told by a certified chyrsler mechanic nothing is wrong with my brakes and they did not hear anything. my brake issue has gotten worse i hear it constantly with any stopping motion. i then took my car to a non certified chyrsler mechanic and i was shown my rear brakes are warpped. and the brakes are defective. this mechanic did not want to fix the issue he stated return to your dealership because even if we replace the pads the defective parts will cause the problem again. i called the buying dealership that same day and told the person in service center what i was told he gauranted his technican did their job and refused to look in the system to provide me with exactly what she did since the issue was not fixed. needless to say that individual is unprofessional and totally disregared my concern. i called chrysler headquaters filed a complaint that same day. a few days later i took it to another chrysler dealership the technican agreeded my rotors in the rear where warpped and reglossed them this did not fix the issue. i returned a few days later telling him the noise never went away. i was told i would have to pay for the new brake pads or to be reglossed. he advised me my pads are placed in a certain postion that causes them to make that noise but could not give me a straight answer if this was abnormal or normal. but preety much deal with it. i have all the paperwork from each dealership and mechanic regardless if the warrenty is expired if the brakes are defective they will never work properly. my second concern is my car has stalled three times in the month of june 2012 while driving going less than 20 miles.

 While at a stop light the engine shut off without warning. we could not get it to restart. but the radio and the windows worked. when we would attempt to restart the engine light and the electrical light came on. we had to have the towed to the dealer. the dealer could not find anything wrong since there were no codes and they could not recreate the problem.

 Our 2011 chrysler 200 has about 8000 miles and has been stalling, surging idle speeds when stopped, and downshifting hard (jolting) for the last 2000 miles or so. tomorrow is the first time taking it in specifically for this reason after having the dealer annotate these symptoms during the last oil change. it is not save to have a car's idle jump while at a stop light or intersection nor is it safe to have a car stall out when slowing down. furthermore, it's a brand new car so this is completely unacceptable to pay for a defective product. if it does not get fixed i will be contacting my insurance company to let them know what is going on as i am fearful that one of these lunges will result in a crash.

 Jolting while shifting gears, engine light on, for no reason. taken to dealer. first time, was told this is normal. vehicle getting used to my driving patterns. 2nd time, engine light came on, stayed on over 24 hours on a non dealer business day (easter) 4/8/2012. jolted, stalled, jerking during the day on 4/8/2012 morning of 4/9/2012, light was still on, called the dealer. asked to bring it in, they will try to duplicate the issue. this is a really scary and unsafe feeling, brand new cars should not do this. engine has idled very poorly, it came close but the engine didn't die. something is wrong with this car. has happened multiple times.

 While driving this car has stauled on 5 separtate occasions. once in front of an 18 wheeler, there was no collision but it was close. one in an intersection as i went through a light in multiple lanes of traffic, once while pulling into trafic around a busy corner, once in a parking lot while attempting to part, and once on a county road. i notified chrystler they refuse to replace the vehicle stateing it does not fall within the lemon law guide lines. they are completley aware of the problem and yet i am still force to own and pay for a vehicle that is not safe to drive and may put my life in danger.

 While stopped the engine shut off completely, there was no sputter or jerking. only engine shut off as if gas stopped flowing to the engine, there was 3/4 tank of gas in the car's tank. not check engine or any other warning lights appeared. all electronics in the car were still full functional. vehicle had to be put in park, and key had to be used to turn engine back on. creates safety hazard not only for passenger in the vehicle but also other drivers on the road.

 My chrysler 200 limited that i purchased in may 2011 has been shutting off sporadically while stopped at red lights. it has happened to me three times in the past three weeks (mid-feb through march 2012). i have had it serviced twice to try to fix the problem, but both times i have been told that nothing can be done because no computer codes for malfunctions can be detected. it seems to be happening while the engine is idling. this has happened on several very busy roads, and has left me with my flashers on in the middle of parkways in the city with 6 lanes of traffic. i run a serious risk of being rear-ended. i have to put the car in park, and turn the key to off and then turn the ignition back on again before i can go. the car starts up fine and has not as of yet happened again during the same trip. it is unacceptable and dangerous that a brand new vehicle is doing this.

 Engine shut off again while at a stop light. this is the third time it has happened

 This is the 3rd time the car has died. this is what happened when it died today. car was being driven by my son on his return from the doctor office. he was driving approximately 30mph and slowing down for an upcoming slope and 90 degree right turn. as the car headed down the slope, it suddenly lost power. he was unable to brake, or turn the wheel. being unable to stop the car he hit a tree head-on. this deployed both airbags even though he was alone and pretty much demolished the car's front end. the police said if it hadn't been for the tree, i would be sitting in at hospital or planning a funeral, as the car would have plunged down a 25 foot embankment filled with large boulders. i will be contacting chrysler tomorrow morning.

 I purchased this vehicle new in july 2011. the car has a very jerky motion when driving regardless of the speed you drive. i have taken it back twice and the dealership claims it's a computer problem. no error lights show when they test it but so much of the vehicle operation is controlled by computers. the second time i had the vehicle test driven by a chrysler mechanic who felt the jerky motion and stated it's getting caught in between gears and that a computer software upgrade is needed but the car is current in software. the jerky motion has increased and now is a daily occurrence many, many times a day. for the last month the jerky motion (which feels much like the car isn't getting gas and shuts out for a second or when you have a manul vehicle and you don't clutch to change gears and the vehicle shut off) is now accompanied by a bang and the car feels as if it's about to shut off. the car lunges and the noise is so loud the first three times it happened i thought i had been struck by another vehicle.

 I first got the chrysler 200m in june 2011. two days after purchasing i was stopped at a red light and once it turned green i tried to go the car and had no gas, no brakes, and i was unable to put on my hazard llights. the car had completely shut off on me until i placed the car in park, turn the key to the off position, and then restarted the car. my second incident happened when i was stopped at a red light about to take a left. once the light turned green i proceeeded to go and then i had complete engine failure again; while in the middle of an intersection. i lost my gas, my brakes, power steering, my radio shut off, and was not able to use my hazards again. i had to place the car in park and once again restart it for the car to turn back on for me to be able to move out of the way of oncoming traffic. i then brought the car to the dealerhsip where it stayed for one week; they said they were unable to duplicate the problem and therefore couldn't find the cause. the dealership has not given me back the vechile and requested they drive the car with me to rule out operator error.
