Disappointment

I would only buy this car used for a really good deal. So far the air/heater fan went out, the trim around the back windows and under the front windshield are disintegrating, the transmission does not downshift correctly and lags lurks on switching up shifts, road and engine noise are pretty bad, interior leatherete on door armrests are worn out and have came undone around the edges, fuel economy is pretty meh average 22 mpg and I have the 4 cylinder 😕.. Over all car looks pretty good but that's about it. Over all I give it a 😳😢💔

Comfy Ride

This Car has a great interior. Great Sound System and navigation. Some door handles poor quality. Weird transmission, I'm still not used to it. Only take car to dealer to get work done. It needs Mopar parts. Most other places do not understand how to repair this car. The resale value isn't great. I believe it would be a good car to lease. But not keep long term. Overall I would give it a 3.5/5. Thanks I hope this helps.

Stuck with this for a few months

Have a Chrysler 200 that was rented for me for a few months. Had it one week and already hate it. Transmission is annoying. Feels like something is wrong with car but apparently there isn't, was just told that's what the car does. They have a fleet and they all do the same thing, I was told. It makes it feel like I am constantly making small acceleration/deceleration changes but I am not. Very uncomfortable when driven more than a few miles. Rides is bad but can't tell if its the transmission or suspension. Layout of and type of controls is nothing short of goofy. The shift control is a knob right near all the radio knob controls, making it easy to reach for the wrong one. Plus counterintuitive controls so it is uncomfortable to use. Emergency Brake is electric. Seems entire car is dependent on a computer for all controls so, nothing manual. Hate to know what would happen if the car's decided to accelerate on its own. There would be no manual control to intervene. If you are six feet or taller your head will rub against the ceiling in the back seat. Does look nice though...

Heater core problems and cheap dash parts.

My 2012 Chrysler 200 sport 3.6 engine runs well, but constant heater core clogging as a result of crud from machining process of engine interacts negatively with HOAT type antifreeze. I have put two heater cores in it already. Stop using HOAT antifreeze and use OAT antifreeze.or conventional green and install a coolant filter. You will never have this problem again. Right two blend door actuators went bad. Use only Mopar brand. Aftermarket companies make cheap priced and inferior quality of the componets. Other than this the car runs well. I have 240k on it now. Thinking of buying a Toyota though. Chrysler/Stellantis needs to get it together.

Too many repairs

I bought this car in 2013. Before that I owned a 96 Honda Accord i bought in 2001. I'll get back this comparison. Since purchasing the car I've had to replace the rotors twice, the radiator, the valve cover gasket, the alternator...twice in the last year, repair the ac, the struts and tie rod. And these were not cheap repairs. It's also very difficult to change the headlights. You have to go in through the wheel well. Drivetrain is the worse in weather. I've owned this car 8 years and had more repairs than a 12 year old Honda. I also do not feel safe in weather, particularly snow. I've had brand spanking new tires and still had problems skidding all over the place. Something I was just not used from being a Honda owner. I had to buy a chrysler to solidify that I'm going to be a Honda owner for the rest of my life. Can't wait to get rid of this car.
