2013 Chrysler 200 Owner Complaints

I BOUGHT MY 200 IN DECEMBER 2012. STARTING IN JANUARY, THE CAR IDLES VERY STRANGELY. WHEN I START THE CAR THE ENGINE RATTLES AS IF IT DOES NOT WANT TO START. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED AS IF THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND EVERY CAR SQUEAKS. LASTLY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING THE EVENING TIME BECAUSE OF THE LOW LIGHTING. I DO NOT BELIEVE I WILL EVER BY CHRYSLER AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR RUNS AS IF IT 60,000 MILES OLD. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ANY MOMENT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD. *TR

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS ON MY BRAND-NEW 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED SPORT; IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF "SHUTTER" WHICH LIMITS THE FORWARD VISIBILITY OF THE LOW-BEAMS. AS A RESULT, ANY TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, I.E. ABOVE 35 MPH, AT NIGHT, YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO SEE, AND "OVERDRIVING" THE HEADLIGHTS. FORGET ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC, WITH CARS APPROACHING, QUITE LITERALLY, YOU CANNOT SEE 40 YARDS. IF A PEDESTRIAN DARTS OUT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WELL ENOUGH TO REACT. IN MY AREA, THERE ARE A GREAT MANY DEER; IF I CANNOT LET CARS AROUND ME, SO I AM ABLE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IN TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE EQUIPPED DRIVING LAMPS ON, YOU STILL CANNOT SEE FURTHER. THE DRIVING LAMPS SPREAD TO THE SIDES, BUT NOT EVEN AS FAR AS HALF OF THE HEADLAMP DISTANCE. THE CAR IS WONDERFUL OTHERWISE; BUT I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH IT. I HAVE 20/20 VISION WITH ABOVE AVERAGE NIGHT VISION, AND I STILL HAVE DIFFICULTY; MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND WILL NOT AT NIGHT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON AN UNLIT 2 LANE ROAD I EXPERIENCED ( THE FIRST OF SEVERAL INSTANCES) THE MOST DANGEROUS AUTOMOBILE LIGHTING CONDITIONS OF MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. TRUST ME THIS IS SCARY! THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE A SHUTTER SYSTEM FOR NORMAL AND BRIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTROL THAT IS SO BAD I FELT THE NEED TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO CONSIDER CONTINUING MY TRAVEL. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET TO DIM IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN A DARK TUNNEL WITH VISIBILITY OF ONLY THE IMMEDIATE 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WITH NO VISIBILITY AT ALL OF ANYTHING TO THE SIDE. NOTHING CAN BE SEEN ABOVE ABOUT 5 FEET OF THE ROAD. WHEN ONE ENCOUNTERS A TURN IN THE ROAD THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE BEYOND THE CURVE. I BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE SHUTTER SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE SEND SOMEONE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION OUT TO DRIVE ONE OF THESE AUTOMOBILES ON A DARK NIGHT ON A ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. I DARE THEM TO DO IT MORE THEN ONCE. THANK YOU. *TR

I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND WHEN THIS ONE IS PAID FOR IN 2015 I WILL GET TRADE IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE, IN MY OPINION. I HAD PLANNED ON GIVING IT TO MY SON BUT I DO NOT WISH HIM TO BE HURT IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT HAD MECHANICAL WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOT REPORTING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY DID LISTEN TO ME AND FIXED SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH PARTS THEY HAD IN STOCK, BUT HAD TO ORDER THE RACK N PINION AS TO REPLACE IT ON TUESDAY.

I AM WRITING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF A DEAL WITH MY 2013 CHYSLER 200 BOUGHT IN 8/2013. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT TO DO A TRADE IN FOR A 2015 AND WAS TOLD BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER IN AVONDALE, AZ THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A CERTAIN SERIAL NUMBER AND SO IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH CHRYSLER DUE TO A DROP IN BLUE BOOK VALUE SOON AFTER I PAID FULL PURCHASE PRICE AT THAT TIME OF $19,000. WITH ALL GAP INSURANCE ETC. I PAID $27,000 FOR THIS CAR. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CAR HAS THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF AND DROPPED THE VALUE DOWN SO LOW IT IS NOT EVEN TRADEABLE OR BUY BACK VALUE IS SO LOW EVEN CHRYSLER WONT TAKE IT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SITUATION. I AM A FORD CAR PERSON AND I HAVE GIVEN CHRYSLER A CHANCE FOR THE LAST 8 EIGHT YEARS AND WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER UP UNTIL THIS POINT WHERE I AM STUCK WITH A 2013 CAR THAT IS NOT TRADEABLE WITH THE VERY COMPANY THAT MADE IT. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MONEY NOR DOES THE BANK WHO LOANED ME THE MONEY FOR IT, WANT TO LOSE ON THE TRANSACTION OF THIS CAR. I WILL GO BACK TO BUYING FORDS ASAP IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I WANT THE MONEY PAID BACK FOR THIS 2013 CAR AND SENT TO THE BANK FOR PAYMENT. CHRYSLER CAN SEND ME A LETTER OF WHERE TO RETURN THIS CAR. THAT IS ONLY FAIR, SINCE IT IS NOT TRADEABLE AT ANY TIME WITH CHRYSLER. I WILL GO TO THE MEDIA HERE IN AZ IMMEDIATELY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND EXPECT A PHONE CALL FROM THE MEDIA. YOU MAY GIVE THIS E-MAIL TO THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CHRYSLER PRESIDENT HIMSELF HOW CHRYSLER CAN DO THIS TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. THIS IS CONSIDER A LEMON CAR AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT SELLING LEMONS IN THE WHOLE YEAR OF 2013.
