I took my car to Carman Dodge Chrylser Dealer located 196 s Dupont hwy , new castle de, 19720. My car was scheduled for a recall repair u90 and power train software update. I took my car in 4-10-25 and it stayed overnight until 4-11-25. When receiving my car I was presented with new issues that caused a no bus code and radio died. My car had no internal issues prior to taking my car to the dealer for recall repairs. I have all the documentation and employees names for the service department. I was told by my advisor Lance Grey and supervisor Joseph Troboletti that there is nothing else they can do. Other than these new problems that occurred just so happened to be coincidental. And in order to get things replace I would have to wait until July and I may be eligible for a small discount on the parts. So that means I would have to wait 3 months to get repairs and drive a car with my children with no working windows , radio and etc.

The transmission jumped into neutral while going 65mph also indicating “service park brake” and “service transmission”. The vehicle slowing down almost caused another vehicle to rear end me as I was looking for a safe place to try and pull over. No one has inspected properly these vehicles despite numerous customer complaints of the same nature. The car had no lights on but afterwards the power train light came on.

About 2 weeks ago , my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life… I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.

The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it’s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN OR FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VECHICLE WILL REV HIGH AND NOT PICK UP SPEED. IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR AS I AM DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2016. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING STARTED, THE CAR ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FLICKERS UNCONTROLLABLY. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GOES OFF AND ON THE DIALS GOES UP AND DOWN. THE ENGINE SHACKS AS IT WOULD LIKE TO START BUT DOESN'T. IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 2 TO 3 TIMES TO RESTART THE CAR TO WORK PROPERLY. RECENTLY APRIL 2, 2021, AS I WAS DRIVING MAJORITY OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON, TRANSMISSION, PARKING BRAKE, ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT REACTING NORMALLY. AS I ACCELERATE DURING TGIS TIME THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL FLASHES AND YHE CAR HAS DIFFICULTY PICKING UP SPEED. THE CAR HAS A INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TIME ACCELERATING. IF I WERE TO ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY THE VEHICLE WILL REV HIGH AND THE FEARS WILL NOT CATCH PROPERLY.

Official recalls
2May 17, 2018
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
