I noticed there were recalls for the following problems and I have seen all of these happen to my vehicle but they haven't been fixed. Cruise control wont come off unless you hit the brakes 5 or 6 times and randomly speeds up without shifting. When this started happening my gas mileage went way down and the engine light keeps flashing. The codes coming up are cylinder misfire and air fuel ratio. I have talked to several people who said they had a similar issue and their dealership fixed it. I was told there were no recalls and nothing could be done. Not happy

When I go to start the car with either fob I sometimes get a message "can not identify fob. What happens if I'm going down the road at 70mph and it cuts off because it can't identify fob.

For years now, my car has randomly, without notice, stalls, says “Shift To P” and goes limp. There’s nothing I can do in that moment besides try to get to safety before the car stops in the middle of the road. I’ve brought it in multiple times with no change or information as to what’s causing it. One dealership claimed I just needed an oil change which it didn’t but to prove my point, I brought it in after it stalled 2-3 days after an oil change. At this point, there’s been zero help or care. It’s only a matter of time until it causes an accident. Other owners definitely have this issue as well since they’re reported on here too. Any help? Or do all of us just lose money or potentially more…?

My 2017 Chrysler 200, that I purchased on october 8, 2018 has started to just shut down while I'm driving, with no warning. This is extremely dangerous especially in the type of busy traffic that I drive in, daily. I'm thankful that the times it did shut off, it happened in my neighborhood, while I was slowing down to stop at a stop sign, and before I'd gotten into heavy traffic. It shut down on december 20, 2019 at a stop sign, and the exact same thing happened again on december 22, 2019. Both times, it didn't restart immediately when I pressed the start button. It stalled for a moment the first time, and perhaps 2 minutes the second time. I turned on my emergency blankers the 2nd time it happened, and I let other drivers know to go around me because it took a little longer to restart. Th

09/24/2019 20,000 mi ODI #11257636.0

I purchased my vehicle brand new in 2017 and started experiencing issues within the first year. The car has cut off multiple times while driving, without warning, in the middle of rush hour traffic. It also frequently stalls. I've taken my vehicle to 3 different dealerships in 2 different states at least 10 times. Two of the three dealerships claimed that the problem was some sort of fuse underneath the driver's seat. After the car continued to shut off without warning, I was told that it was due to low oil. I've called Chrysler's headquarters who has given me a free oil change package and instructed me to return to a dealership every 500 - 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. They know that the car is burning an unusual amount of oil which is a clear indication that there's a problem.

12/25/2020 95,000 mi ODI #11384922.0

I was driving towards an intersection to merge right onto the main highway when I was in motion still my car shut off and said 'shift to p' when I did so it wouldn't restart. The steering locked up and I couldn't move. It did not give me any warning or sign it was going to do so. I had almost pulled out onto the highway too. The radio and everything worked just fine. This happened once last year on a curvy two lane highway and I got lucky that I had a turn off when my car shut off. I called Chrysler and they apparently reset the system and it has been good since. It's not the alternator and it is not the battery. We ruled that out then. Jumping it does not fix the problem.
