  AFTER 9 MONTHS - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 200sowner - September 14 - 7:57 pm

  After 9 months and 22,500 miles several problems engine shuts down at red lights happen so far 2 times in a month. looked it up on-line seems like alot of 2011 owners with the v-6 has the same problems and of course Chrysler cant figure it out why this is happening, front end noise ? overheating (FIXED) overflow tank had crack in it After spending $24,000 on this car in (Nov2011) think it shouldnt have any problems Thats it will keep you up dated. center arm rest keeps moving when arm rested on it. Transmission does not shift smoothly.

  Many issues - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 19joe66 - August 14 - 5:22 pm

  Vehicle purchased as new and have had many issues. Honestly, do your homework before purchasing this car. 1)Brakes squeaking horribly within the first 3000 miles. 2)Transmission slams into gear intermittently from park to reverse or from park to drive. 3)Transmission has intermittently hung in fourth gear on highway at any speed. 4)Extremely noisy in cabin. Sound from behind driver almost like the rear windows are slightly open. 5)Has surges badly when cold from day one. 6)As of two weeks ago stalled twice when coming to a stop. 7)Driving at night very difficult. Headlights do not display enough light on the road surface. Road lamps do help.

  I WANT to love this car!! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By surby66 - June 17 - 2:03 pm

  I really do love driving this car. I bought it brand new, but I have had several issues that Ive never had with other new cars that Ive purchased. The convertible top has gotten stuck several times the drivers side window squeaks terribly the brakes began squeaking terribly within the first 1000 miles the horn sound has become very low (the dealership says its normal... but it didnt sound like that until recently) it got stuck in Park (gear shifter was bad) the dealership busted the center console fixing it & then ordered the wrong color console and I get SOAKED from run-off when I open the door after it has rained. Hoping that will be all the issues. Sure is fun to drive!

  Problems with the cruise control - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By setht37 - May 22 - 9:58 am

  I purchased the 2011 Chrysler 200 LX used 4 months ago. Overall it seems to be a good car, good handling, seems to be fast enough for a 4 cyl and gets good gas mileage. Right after I purchased the vehicle I noticed issues with the cruise control. Sometimes it would work sometimes it would not, the problem was intermittent. I had to take it to the local Chrysler dealership several times before they acknowledged there was a problem. Turns out it had something to do with the wiring in the steering wheel, the Chrysler tech said it looked like some one was in there before but no record of warranty work being done. Tech said it could have left the factory like that. Also breaks squeak in reverse.

  Vehicle stalling intermittently - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By concerned25 - May 2 - 6:27 pm

  I have had my 2011 Limited convertible for 1 year and it has stalled on my about 10 times within the last year. I have brought it in numerous times and they are unable to identify what the problem is since no code is generated. Very concerned with this issue. I have called Chrysler HQ and they are researching this. There have been many other people that have posted issues with their vehicles stalling also. I do enjoy driving the vehicle and would have been extremely happy with it but now that it stalled on me while I was in the middle of an intersection it is very concerning to me. I would not recommend buying this car until they resolve the issue.

  Shop Around!!! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By jeanne29 - January 25 - 6:07 pm

  The cars great to look at but not so great to drive. The transmission shifts hard and makes a hard bump noise. But as the Chrysler dealer repeatedly tells me, " Thats normal for that model". NOT OK WITH ME!! The windows make a noise like they are cracked, even though Chrylers informed me before buying, " They take pride in the fact that their Chrylers are now smoother and quiter than any other make. The center console moves while your arm is resting on it. The voice attivaction on the radio continues to not register correctly. The seats are not confortable to sit in especially on road trips. And the dealer just tells us that all of these things are normal for this model.

  Not a quiet car... - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By bansale - January 5 - 5:48 pm

  I am picky with the sounds I hear in my car. My driver side window sounds like it isnt secured properly, almost vibrates in the housing when driving over small bumps. Same with passenger rear window. Passenger rear window is loud. Sounds like it is cracked open. Mine even whistles sometimes. Something in my dash is causing a rattling sound when going over bumps. Even experiencing problems with the Mygig installed into it. Sounds like the hardrive is still running even when the car is off. The dashboard fitting unit sounds like the plastic will break any minute. Very frustrating coming from someone that cares alot about inside noises.

  Started looking at 2012 Ltd. purchased 2011 S - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 200sowner - November 13 - 8:35 am

  Started looking at the 2012 Limited after searching the lots came across a 2011 200 S leftover For THE PRICE hands down purchased the 11 200 S with the $4,000 rebate and Fully loaded plus other dealer discounts it was a no brainer hands down. Great Build Quality So out the door Got more options looks just like the 2012 and $500.00 cheaper than the loaded 12 Limited. look at the Sonata nice car but would have paid thousands more with the options I have in this one exactly $5,000 more !!!

  Great car...unless you live in a dark rural area - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 200_owner - November 2 - 5:53 pm

  I recently bought a Chrysler 200 and really really liked the car...until I began driving it on country roads where I live. The headlights only go out about 10 feet in front of the car and then they just cut off in a weird "Z" shaped pattern. You cant see anything at all in front of that line. There is no visibility above it (like in a regular car you can still get some illumination above the ground) it is like they hit a wall and you cant see any further. I have never seen anything like it and have taken several people out in it just to show them how odd it is. They have ALL agreed that it is dangerous. This problem does not occur on main roads where there is street lights, although, you c
