| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| I will be driving and while shifting gears, my car will stop and suddenly jolt really bad. it was so bad the other day the car behind us laid on their horn because they were about to hit us. i am sure that this car thought i slammed on my breaks, but that is not the case. this car always stops then surges or jolts. it is a major safety hazard and i am very concerned. chrysler will not fix the problem because they say they have not duplicated it which i do not believe. they also said they have never heard of this issue although i have read about multiple cases just like mine on the internet. this happens to me very often! | |||

| Flimsy front floor mat migrated and bunched up under accelerator pedal preventing acceleration as needed even though mat was hooked on hook provided. head end of mat rotates over toward accelerator pedal when getting in and out of car. inability to accelerate as needed could be as dangerous as a stuck accelerator. it is conceivable that this situation could also result in a stuck accelerator pedal. | |||
