I have a 2012 Chrysler 200. I have had it for 2.5 years. I purchased the extended warranties thank goodness. The heater core went out on the passenger side a year after I purchased the car. I also had a recall done on the drivers side head rest in 2014. In 2016 while driving home the drivers side head rest deployed hitting me in the back of the head VERY hard while driving. I'm lucky it didn't knock me out. All I wanted was my car fixed and Chrysler has sent their person over and did a review and sent me a letter stating it was nothing they did on their part. So of course now I have my attorney involved. I could have went to the doctor and built up a million in doctor bills because I know I have neck damage and it's causing issues with my arms but I just wanted my car fixed. I really like my car, but it only has 69K miles on it and it should not be having these issues. It handled really poorly when I first got it but I put good Toyo tires on it and now it handles great. I hope they don't make a huge fight out of this because I really want to keep my car but I will get rid of it and never by Chrysler again if they don't take responsibility.

Picked mine up at 7 years old with 100133 on the odometer. The price was right even though the mileage was high for the year. Overall it’s a clean, comfortable, fun, peppy car to drive loaded with nice creature comforts. Fuel economy from the 3.6L is a little lacking, about 24mpg combined for me so far. It makes up for it with its surprising power and handling. At 100576 the transmission started acting funky, still shifting reliably but not smoothly. I suspect the 100k maintenance hadn’t been done to the car yet. Will update after that gets performed. It’s long term reliability remains to be seen. Overall this car is super fun, the V6 is quiet, and it’s packed with features. Even though it’s essentially a reheated Sebring—you get a lot of handsome car for your dollar.

Got this car brand new (Blackberry Pearl on black interior with 17 miles) little over a month ago after getting in an accident in my Cadillac Eldorado, and have had zero problems, im very impressed! Gets good mileage (30-35 mpg hwy at 70-75 mph), comfrotable, with pretty good quality. I think its a great new gen Chrysler vehicle for anyone. Has a surprisingly sporty feel to the suspension, hugs corners very well and feels pretty flat in the process, but soft and absorbing at the same time. Very nice interior with a majority of it soft-touch materials, gets lots of compliments from passangers. I4 engine feels pretty crude, opt for V6. As driving enthusiast I find it fun to drive.
Worst car I’ve ever had.

This car is a joke. I purchased it three years ago (and finally got it out of my hair today, FINALLY) and within that three years I put in nearly the same amount of money fixing things as I did purchasing it. After the heater core, two alternator mishaps, a blown radiator hose, the thermostat housing going out, a transmission leak, the master switch going out twice, the tire pressure gauge breaking, horrendously squeaky brakes, the car shaking when braking, overheating engine, broken AC fan, and many more things, I have nothing good to say about this car. The entire left side of the car under the hood had to be replaced essentially due to malfunctions within those 3 years. Also, the driver seat headrest popped out and smacked me in the back of the head unprovoked. I’d like to elaborate that I kept this car up to date on all its maintenance and drove it well. The 2012 Chrysler 200 is nothing but a money pit, and if I could give this car 0 stars I would. I will never recommend this car to anybody.

Purchased back 2018 in San Antonio, TX at 80k miles, still have it, currently at 125k. Besides general maintenance (brake pads, tire, oil) I’ve only had to fix 2 things, 1 sensor and the rotors. Love this car!
