My 2013 is at 194K miles and still going strong

Number 6. Battery location in order to get the battery out you have to lift the car up high enough to take the driver front tire off and get a jack stand under the vehicle. Take the inner fender liner off and there's the battery in front of the driver front tire.

I'm totally glad this video was made. Since I now realize I'm not the only one who has had weird unusual colors on their coils. My coils have a burnt dark black marks on all of them. Pretty sure this guy just saved me alot of time figuring out why my car has been running sluggish. Big thanks

I own a 2014 3.6 I love love love this car. It's a sweet ride. Both actuators have gone out and it always over heats a little bit . It's a smooth ride. I love driving this car.

Not seeing a whole lot of comments about 2013 thank God! Been good to me so far. Have the V6 too.

thanks for the video. i got into an accident running into the back of a corolla 3 years ago. almost no damage to the outside of the car at all and the corollas trunk was smashed completely in. this thing is an interesting tank. small issues so far but ultimately only had to change out the airbags and dash. no lights on dash now. i actually like my car for what it is.

I’ve been having heater problems with mine, great vid

My 2014 200 gets 30 miles to the gallon on the hyway. It's a nice quiet ride. The seats are very comfortable for long drives. I love my car. I also have a 2014 town and country. I love this one even more. I love my Chryslers. I had a convertible Sebring I loved that one too. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY ME.

Thank you I totally get it you have done good explaining my very issues I’m having . So being totally illiterate where cars are involved also a single mom this will help me do it myself thanks again

Thank you very much for the video! My 2.7 V6 E85 had exactly the same problems. And the dash lights are out 2 times trough the years. Otherside a great car with more than 200k miles. A low cost slow granny car👍🏽

I have a 2013 Chrysler 200 touring 2.4, I have had to change all three actuators, throttle body and canister vent valve. My wife and I really like the car and bought it new, but we still have trouble from time to time with code for intake vacuum leak which led to changing the throttle body the first time. Before changing the throttle body, it went into the creep mode and would not go over 30 mph with the pedal to metal or all the way to the floor. The trouble lights will come on the dash but when you restart the car only the check engine light will be lit. Check engine light will go away after a little more driving and the problem may not come back for days, weeks or months. Crazy situation, we like driving the car but we have 2 other vehicles, so we don't go out of town with it. I have taken it to the dealer several times over the years and they change throttle body or reboot the computer. We have had the throttle body changed once and reboot CPU I think 5 times, and I have yet to see a difference except it has not gone in limp mode since changing the throttle body. We have had people wanting to buy the car and I have thought of it, but my wife says no. I myself didn't want to sell it because what they offer is not enough to replace the car if I chose to, so we keep it and enjoy the good times.

All these comments about 2012 😮 glad i came here i was about to buy one 😅😅😅

Just found out my 200 had no air filter. Have been running it like that for maybe 2yrs. I must’ve forgotten to ever replace it.. since I had it seating in the garage for a few months 3yrs ago

2012 LTD purchased from rental use. I spend about $1200 average per year in none related maintenance repairs (heater core was s big one last year) for the last 3 years and the car runs great. Always starts even in extreme cold temps (no block heater). Changed all fluids and plugs at 100,000 kms. Air filter twice a year when tires change over. 130,000 kms to date and runs like new. Hope to do 300,000 + kms. Hopefully, I got lucky.

Seems like you got the top 5 spot on

Totally accurate! Master window switch went out, throttle body went out twice along with the thermostat. And DONT FORGET about these damn headlights and bulbs!!!

Amazing summary. We have been experiencing some throttle body errors. It's great to know what it is all about.

First thing I saw was the GTO in the background. Can we get a top 5 on that? 😂

Wow two of those issues happen to my 2012 Chrysler. Now loud noise coming from engine. Great information. Wish u could work on my car

The Blend Actuator is a common problem with these cars also.

Should have mentioned the blend door actuator that constantly goes out on these

Thank you now we can fix these little headache issues

Great video, I love my 2012, I had an evap system light come on, I replaced that EVAP sensor and for far im hoping that was the issue 🤞 this was very informative. I'm having an issue when I use my windows.. heat.. or wipers it's making my car idle down, I have a new alternator and battery so not sure why it's making my car rough idle

My car has been pulling a p0440 check engine light for Evap system. I’m hoping #5 will be saving grace if the light comes on again. My dad keeps thinking it’s gas light. Also my drivers rear window Doesn’t go down on the main control . I’ve been feeling like my car hates me so I’m glad to know I’m not alone

We have a 2014 LX and the traction control light goes off and on intermittently even when it's in park. Has something that draws on the battery if it sits for a few days. Recently started getting a raw gassy smell from exhaust too.

I have 200 - 2012 with 66.000 miles and I am having some of the issues in the above video PLUS horn issues. Dealership changed the switch in the steering wheel. Picked it up from dealership and after 10 minutes of driving it; the horn started blowing non-stop!! Drove it directly back to the dealership with horn blowing, so they couldn't deny they hadn't fixed it. They said they would look into it further. Upon further investigation, I was told it would be between $1200-$1700 to fix. I drove it home and it has been parked for four months; sometimes with intermittent horn beeps. To date, the battery is dead- no horn issues!! Now I have a car that is dead and I need transportation.

You should mention top radiator hoses on all these Chrysler Jeep models...even the vehicle n this video shows signs of leaking...

Very informative and you are extremely entertaining. Enjoy watching, listening and learning. Thanks!

Had almost all these problems checked off on mine😂 and fuel pump issues

I’ve owned a 2012 200 since new and at 155k, I’ve had none of these problems with my vericle.

For the coils pull the clip while running if it changes the way it runs its not that coil clip it back and move to the next one

My 2013 car has also issues with the stereo, I no longer use the radio due to an annoying whistling, and since yesterday in any option has an interference 😢

Im over my 200..2012 and its had many said issues. The heater keeps blowing out erratically.. Had the resistor changed. Still doing the same thing. Car has been a money pit..

A great rundown of issues. Since the warranty ran out I've had the auto up or down function of either front window not work , and left it alone and they eventually came back ? Weird right ?

Love the 200 info. We have one and it’s nice to see how to fix the problems. Got any 1997 gmc Sonoma videos. Needed help with my side truck .

Great video. I had a couple of the problems he mentioned. I wish I saw this year's ago before all the money I spent.

What would make a knocking noise under my glove box when the heat or ac is on?

I have a Chrysler 200 lx it's my work car so it's a beater and it runs and drives perfect but the heat quit working a few years ago 🤣

My radiator hose busted a few weeks ago

all good but you did not talk about the quality of the engine and transmition which we expected you to do,

I appreciate you shAring your knowledge and experience it does help a lot time & money

I HAVE A 2014 200 CHRYSLER WITH THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE..AT ABOUT 85000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT..RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS..

What’s the name of that little metal guy right behind the coils there it looks like a egr valve but ITS NOT and I can’t find the name HELP PLEASE

So I have a 2014 200 and I get rough idle when I start it up but then after about a minute or two it goes away what can cause that

I have a 2014 Chrysler 200. My wife has driven tha car about 80.000 miles.At about 75 or 80 it Blue a trans..I have replaced a upper radiator hose 2 times..Also i have replaced A valve body...RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA...

In the 4 years I've had my 2014, we have replaced the throttle body, both thermostats, entire new cooling system, rotors, brakes (twice), battery (twice), alternator (twice). The window motor on passenger front was replaced when i first got it. I'm getting ready to have to fix the ABS system as theres an issue there now that has been some type of issue going on for months. It's throwing codes for catalyc converter and of course theres an older recall (for airbag, I think) that I've got to take it in for also. If it wasn't almost paid off, I'd be trading her in. I just don't want to start over and I've put thousands of dollars of repairs in to her at this point. How I got her? She chose me. She was a repo the credit union had and I was getting rid of a 25 yr old Lumina and getting into this car so at the time, I couldn't beat it. However, if I had to do it again- would I? I wouldve shopped around a little more first to make sure I was getting the best deal possible for my situation at the time. However, I do not want another chrysler, dodge, or other mopar product. I've driven them for years and always have had many repairs to deal with.

Problem 6: If replacing rotors and calipers, make sure you do not damage the rotten backing plate and get the proper size of rotors/calipers. Getting the new backing plates are really hard. Specially for the 2012 in which half way through the production they changed the parts of it. I had 262mm rotors, the shop that did the safety inspection listed I needed 302mm rotors, and when shopping for parts online both options came out and I pick the one the listed in my safety list. When looking for the bigger backing plate, not only both sizes are in backorder across canada and US, but no ones says if they would fit my vehicle or not, considering the bigger rotors and calipers. They only says "This one is the one for your VIN number".

Thank you my 2012 Chrysler 200, for 6 years now, has had a problem with ideal after 10 minutes, will trigger the p0171 to leen, it works perfectly fine, how ever when smog if Ideal longer than 10/15 minutes before complete then it won't pass fortunately till now it pass, I've been doing research for quite some time now so are those the two spots I should look first

I have a crystler 200 2012 and I’ve gotten the heater core replaced and radiator . I have tapping inside my car on my passenger side but it started running hot and I pulled over on the side of the road and the car started running hot . And then it wouldn’t crank . I don’t know why it won’t Ik I do need a air filter and a actuator . I just got a oil change . I’m just hopping it’s not a blown head gasket cause I really don’t have money to fix that or money to buy a new car

Mine overheats. Replaced allpmost ecerythubg that can cause it to overheat and they still cant figure out why

2014 and no issues with mine except the ticking noise when changing the air from recirculated to fresh. And that was just $10 to fix lol.

I have a 2013 200 V6 the center climate control dial sometimes when the Heat doesn't come up I have to twist it to the left then all the way to the right and mostly the heat comes up good and strong , any idea ?

Hello. I have a 2012 Chrysler 200. Can you tell me why is it that every time I take my foot off the gas pedal the car cut completely off but as long as my foot is on the gas pedal it runs?

If my blinkers stop working but if I put on my hazard lights they will work what could possibly be the problem is it a fuse problem that I need to change the fuse or what

i cleaned the throttle body on my 2013 200s 2.4 and I opened it with my finger... I have with a lot of different electric throttle bodies... I have never had an issue and I have never heard anyone say you may decalibrate it. sounds like you made that up lol... I believe some are different than others so use caution don't force them. if it feels like it is gonna break it probably will.

My 2013 have issues with the horn, steering wheel controls, could be the clock spring the problem??

My wife's car pulses when going between 20-30mph then is fine. No clue there. Also having issues with the heat. Replaced the thermostat, flushed the heater core, refilled the coolant and it doesn't seem to get to operating temp. Almost like there's too much coolant circulating. The heat worked for about a week now it's back to luke-warm even after it's been on for an hour. Drove the car for 2hrs and the heat was still cool. Radiator is fine. Maybe get a new heater core?

Video on my page my car randomly stops working then it starts back up after letting it cold down any ideas what the issue may be?

I would ❤love to see a video on how to replace the starter on a Chrysler 200...2012yr. I am currently changing one out and it is a booger-bear!!!

2013 200 cuts all engine power when going to accelerate. Will not start back up unless I remove body ground. Any fix for this?

Hey how's it going need help here have a 2011 Chrysler 200 2.4 coil pack 304 code keeps melting any ideas

Wonderful and informative! I am looking for a car and I am looking for any problems so I won't be shelling out big 💵💵 later! 😁

Hi thank you for the video. I just bought a 2012 Chrysler 200, I'm having issues with my widows drivers door sometimes not shutting. Opens fine but doesn't like to close. Drivers door switch for rear widow opens the window but also won't close it. So the video helped a lot. My question for you is about my dashboard making clicking noises, top middle and right side when car is off. Help pls

Only problem I have had with mine (2012 limited edition) is my AC condenser leaked due the rock puncture other than that all good so far.

Alternators as well... I am on my 4th one and still having electrical issues...

I have a 2012 200 and have it since 2014. Always getting evap codes. The windows have stopped working before, fixed it and now my radio doesn't work. I've had to full on replace the engine head and transmission over the years. I still drive it a lot but recently the car began to randomly stall and start back up after waiting around 10 minutes. I checked the codes and I've gotten P0335 and P0339 codes. Bought the recommended piece, hopefully it's what works. I really don't want to take the throttle piece off myself.

I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 convertible with a lot of codes in now it wont crank over it loses power I need some help can you give me some answers please

Anybody know about the deck warning?

Someone hit the coffee too hard this morning lol.

I like everyting about Chrysler. Thankyou for information.

I am having issues with my 2014 V6 . Coils spark plugs injectors have been done . Cylinder 4 misfire low compression. Won't start now but started by having trouble starting . Was in the shop for 14 hours and they couldn't figure it out said they think electrical but they are lost !

my 2014 touring is randomly stalling and then just shuts off in middle of the road any suggestions?

we have a 2013 chrysler 200 an the remote start works then shuts off whats the problym with it?

Problem number one- it's a Chrysler.

My engine light is coming on and staying on? What has happened. And seat belt light is on and staying on, what’s wrong? How much?

That 200 is my dream car that’s going to fit me and my girlfriend Noonie and my future daughter😅😃

Window switch on mine and when I'm going 30 mph it jerks idk if that's the transmission. Heater problems and ac making a ticking noise. Needs new shocks but everything else working good 170000 miles so far. Any one know if they interference or non interference engines??

Hey I got p0300 p0301 I changed all coils and sparplugs but it still got multiples misfires do u think fuel pump can do the problem ?

Any issues with traction control ?

I've got a 2012, currently less than 70K on it - issues so far include clogged heater core, leaking A/C lines, bad brake caliper - today the dealer diagnosed a small "trans-cooler line" leak after working on it for a passenger restraint recall. Radio stopped working for a couple of days and then came back. Occasional "thump" from the back of the car that I'm worried may be a shock/strut issue. Engine seems solid on this car, everything attached to it is garbage.

I have a 2011 chrysler 200. My fuse number 23 which is a 15amp (ASD) Relay Feed 3 keeps blowing. The car will trun over but won't crank. The fuse blows instantly everytime. Any ideas. I have replaced the ASD relay already still the same think

No Crank , No Start Issue ?

I know this is 3 years late but here is hoping, what if the heat/air conditioner screams?

I've got a 2014 Chrysler, 4-cylinder, Model S. Been nothing but problems. Radio inexplicably stopped working. Radiator hose ripped in half. Some heating slash cooling actuator went bad in dash...didn't seem to effecting anything, but would randomly go off making an awful clicking noise. Electronic throttle control light and check engine come on, to which I have a mechanic look at it...he can find nothing wrong, clears the codes. Those just popped up again. The list goes on. I'm whining on RU-vid and feel pathetic but I'm broke and exhausted. I'm learning a lot from watching RU-vid vids on fixing things so that's an upshot.

Mine was having regular problems after 80k miles and the engine and transmission is rekt a little over 100k miles. Never again.

Dude I need all this done in mine! Where are you located?

#6 problem the radio breaks or stops working in all these cars!

#3 Throttle Body, if you have to replace it is it true you have to use a high end scanner to calibrate and or reset the warning light/codes? If I can’t clear them myself there’s no point in replacing the throttle body right?

How to replace the ac actuator behind the radio.

I have A 200 convertible. Augh. I love my car. But. Replaced my door switch. Replaced my heater core. $$$$.

My 2012 chrysler 200 lx 2.4l engine vibrates heavy when vehicle gear is in drive as well as acceleration. What may the issues be? It have fresh motor oil, new plugs and coils, cleaned throttle bottle, has new filter and replaced the motor mounts and still have the same issue. What can I check next

How many miles were on the car in the video

I have a 200 2011 Chrysler with less than 90 thousand miles & have had major repairs. 1st the heater went out, then the oil cooler went out, window seal on passenger door, air condition went out, now the car is smoking from the engine. Car has less than 90 thousand miles. Is this car a lemon? These are major problems. Will NEVER Buy a Chrysler car again. Lucille McGaskey Galveston County Texas.

Been having a 200 for about 5 years now and my first issue with a system to lean engine light came on today.

Can you a do a power steering pump replacement for this vehicle

Have you ever come across a 2013 chryer 200 where the horn just stopped working? If so what did you to diagnose the problem?

Top 5 issues: It's a Chrysler It's a Chrysler It's a Chrysler It's a Chrysler It's a Chrysler

I am having an issue with my 2012. The abs and brake light keep blinking on and off while I am driving and the odometer keeps fluctuating from my current speed to 0. Nobody seems to be able to figure out what’s wrong in order to fix the problem. Any suggestions?! 10:03

Bought a Chrysler 200 4 months ago 20,000 miles for $5,900 rebuilt title I like it and couldn't beat the price the only thing to b**** about is not enough power
