  What Chrysler Doesnt Tell You... - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By ktaylorm - December 9 - 12:06 pm

  Bought my 2011 200 Ltd. brand new and sadly from day one I have had a constant vibration from 50-70 mph, the front end sounds like its falling apart and the car cannot be aligned. The vehicle only has 27,000 and its had the front axle, brake caliber, struts, sway links and tires replaced. The dealership has done everything physically and mechanically possible and states "they cannot fix the car". Chryslers response is these are characteristic of this car funny I dont remember seeing that on the sticker or in my owners manual. And the fun continues, as of yestserday, theres now a clunking in the steering column. And, Chrysler says this car doesnt meet the Lemon Law.

  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.

  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.

  Good looks and performance, Horrible Build Quality - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By philly33flyers - August 16 - 6:20 pm

  I purchased this car 2 months ago and have 3000 miles on it. Car drives great and has good power but there is 1 issue that has ruined the whole experience. The rear passenger side has the loudest wind noise I have ever heard on a car. People who sit in the back seat complain and think that the window is open when its not. Chrysler seems to not care about the problem and says that it is a "feature." Also, I agree with the previous reviewer about the drivers side floor mat moving around and getting stuck underneath the gas pedal. I brought this to Chryslers attention also and was told that there is nothing wrong with the mat. I have since thrown the mat in the trunk.

  Pretty but nowhere near perfect - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By nlr - July 20 - 3:54 pm

  I purchased a Chrysler 200 S V6 and was told it was an "award winning engine". Im not convinced of that. I love the car...comfortable, beautiful. But I must say, I am very disappointed in the performance. It does not get good gas mileage at all. I have just under 7,000 miles on the car and the engine has begun to rev while driving with no response from the accelerator at all. Then all of the sudden it engages again with a hard bump. This has happened several times during highway driving and once under 40 mph. There is also a problem with the floor matt, which is custom designed for the S, bunching up under the accelerator. Everyone loves the car, but they dont drive it.
