Chrysler 200 — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 11,035 evidence records for the Chrysler 200 (2011–2017), drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 13,862 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Engine2,492 (18.0%)Official recall records for this system: 14, covering model years 2012–2017.
  • Electrical system2,440 (17.6%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 2011–2017.
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)1,874 (13.5%)Official recall records for this system: 6, covering model years 2015.
  • Air bags (restraint system)1,688 (12.2%)Official recall records for this system: 11, covering model years 2011–2015.
  • Brakes584 (4.2%)
  • Speed control & accelerator528 (3.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2015–2017.

Other / uncategorized: 1,088 classifications (7.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (8,330 records, model years 2011–2017) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
  • Transport Canada recalls (42 records, model years 2011–2017) are most frequently classified under: engine, air bags (restraint system) and child seats.
  • Manufacturer communications (2,614 records, model years 2011–2017) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and equipment & accessories.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

  • 5,962reports included a mileage
  • 55,353average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
