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.
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!!!
My girl just bought a 2011 hardtop 200. . With 200,000 Miles. . already hveing issues with the first 2 things on your list. . Very clean and Runs great tho. . A little problem with the flimsy fold in back dash cover, . And hve to go through the nightmare of changing a headlight bulb tho. . But thanks for the switch and heater core advice, . That's gonna help alot👍
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.
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.
My pair of 2013 hardtop conv's get 31.9 hwy. I can't ask for anymore from a v6! But I did order an odb plug in module that supposedly gives you a bit more power and better gas mileage. I am quite skeptical of this device. However, I must admit on a recent trip to DC, the computer did indicate 33.1 mpg. So maybe it's doing something.
I just purchased a used 2013 Chrysler 200 at 113k miles..I just got a battery put in! Do you think this is a good sustainable, reliable vehicle? Also how long in terms of miles (with on time maintenance), do you think it will last?
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👍🏽
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.
My 2012 touring is at 226km.. other then regular changes like tires n rotors.. and once ball joints.. I've changed thermo housing(dec 2020)and thermo stat(April 2022) and today the horn went out.. still the car runs smooth and is comfortable
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.
unless ur car is under warranty or getting some type of warranty work done to it... dont ever take it to the dealer, they will screw the hell out of u, u need to look for a reliable mechanic shop and take it there
My daughters car has horn issue also. She’s taking it into the dealership Thursday to get it fixed. Hers is 2012 also. The other issue she is having is it stalling out at a traffic light and have to wait for almost an hour to start back up and takes off again. We had the throttle body replaced before and I’m thinking it needs to be cleaned or something?
We had this issue. My husband replaced the entire integrated power module himself for I think $85. Saved us $1200k+ that a dealer quoted us. No horn issues since
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
I having 2012 200 touring .. love this car as well.. got it at 165km and it's at 226km lol had to change the thermostats recently and my horn went out today .. I've replaced thermostat housing back in 2020 dec.. still love the car cause the seats, interior and smooth ride
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.
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

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.
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
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 😢
I 'steam cleaned' my motor with the coolant because the plastic coupling on the radiator hoses where the pressure cap fits broke completely off on one side and my hose was loose and spraying my coolant out. $14 to buy a replacement, took more time to wipe all the hoses and plastic covers off than to replace the failed part, very stupid to make it out of cheap plastic and not metal.
My plastic RADIATOR NECK,actually broke down and broke off inside the hose. Amazon has some aluminum ones that should last forever. The heat and corrosive nature of anti freeze ate the plastic to where it broke down and failed ,deteriorated.
@@KayDaGunna take it out, carefully pop it apart, remove the broken pin one of the gears should be riding on, drill a couple holes, use a machine screw and nut to replace the pin.
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 brought my daughter one of these when she graduated and her car ran amazing for years even when we sold it so I recently purchased the 2012 she had a 2013 and I am having so much trouble with this car
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".
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 ?
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?
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
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
Look for loose connections at the battery and cables. The battery in these cars is very hard to access and so cable tightness can go unchecked. Tight cable connections are the first thing to check on any electrical problem.
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..
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 ?
I just recently bought a 2013 Chrysler 200 about 2 1/2 months ago, the first thing I had to do was replace all the brakes calipers and brake pads, the second issue I got was the horn randomly going off while driving and when I lock the car, replaced tipm and was good for a few hours then started honking again. Right after that my second issue was that my car had no acceleration in the middle of the road, it was running fine and then I came to a stop at a red light and then I had no acceleration. Another issue is the master window switch, my windows will stutter or be delayed when rolling up or down, also my fm/am channel does not work but still when it’s on sat the radio just cuts in and out. Kind of unsure what to do since all these issues have come immediately after getting the car :/
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...
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.
My daughter has a 2012 Chrysler 200 with 65k on it. It runs rough and has stalled out a few times, sometimes the car shakes. Check engine 6n. She was told it's the number 2 cylinder. It's not the coil or spark. She was told too expensive to fix. Not under any recall either. Any help appreciated.
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.
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.
So you’re sayin’ she’s been reliable? Lol. My mom has this car and it’s been nothing but trouble, before this 200 my parents were the first owners of a Chrysler New Yorker, transmission went out at 92k. Never buying an American made car. I’m Buying a Hyundai in a few weeks, Toyota is too expensive.
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
You take out the glove box and you see a little white plastic looks thing. It’s a cheap part and if you search on TH-cam you can see how to change it yourself
@@rachelgawrysiakschwister2982 The A/C blower fan is located right under the glove box. If you remove the panel that's under the glove box you can see it (it's just a few clips to remove) I know because my blower is going out and sometimes I have to give it a few taps under the glove box so it can start back up LOL
@@rachelgawrysiakschwister2982 It could be the blend door actuator, which directs heat/cooling to either the floor or vents when you turn the knob telling where the heat/cooling to go. Example, defrost for front windshield, or legs are cold and direct heat to the floor area. Hope this helped, cheers!
I'm replacing mine this week, they designed the alternator to maintain high output, which makes it fail at 75-100 thousand miles sometimes. I have 120 thousand miles.

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?
#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?
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 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 !
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??
Not a bad car but they have issues. Got a 2012 lx as my first car with 135k miles in 2017 and currently has 217k miles. Hub bearings went bad and pay attention to front and rear components. Mine just got to the point of needing replacements and the struts are about to that point to. I’ve driven mine from Michigan down to the Georgia Florida line and back for 36+ hrs of non stop driving 6 times, besides for gas, and have 0 complaints besides it’s not exactly the most comfortable for that long
@@equinoxacidz2493 my moms got one and it’s not bad the motor can take one hell of a beating tho (3.6) it’s been 4000 miles over an oil change twice still running like a clock (104,000) on it just only replaced all 4 struts, back wheel bearing, transmission pan, sway bar links, grille, coolant thermostat, And agreed definitely not the car to sit in for long😂

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.
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.
The Blend Actuator is a common problem with these cars also.
Yessss I have to fix that
I have to change one out every now and then.
I have 2012 limited edition and so far no issue with actuator
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
I've found that if you press the window lock button it will restore function to the window switch.
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 .
What an amazing job you do. Thank you
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 😢
You should mention top radiator hoses on all these Chrysler Jeep models...even the vehicle n this video shows signs of leaking...
+hondatrix Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
I 'steam cleaned' my motor with the coolant because the plastic coupling on the radiator hoses where the pressure cap fits broke completely off on one side and my hose was loose and spraying my coolant out. $14 to buy a replacement, took more time to wipe all the hoses and plastic covers off than to replace the failed part, very stupid to make it out of cheap plastic and not metal.
My plastic RADIATOR NECK,actually broke down and broke off inside the hose. Amazon has some aluminum ones that should last forever. The heat and corrosive nature of anti freeze ate the plastic to where it broke down and failed ,deteriorated.
Should have mentioned the blend door actuator that constantly goes out on these
Yes ... I'm about to replace ours as well ... Sounds like: CLICK CLICK CLICK
About to do mine today
@@KayDaGunna take it out, carefully pop it apart, remove the broken pin one of the gears should be riding on, drill a couple holes, use a machine screw and nut to replace the pin.
Is it an easy fix? Mine just started clicking behind the glove box
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 brought my daughter one of these when she graduated and her car ran amazing for years even when we sold it so I recently purchased the 2012 she had a 2013 and I am having so much trouble with this car
I’ve owned a 2012 200 since new and at 155k, I’ve had none of these problems with my vericle.
Maybe back in 2012 your car 200 was assembly in Japan
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".
First thing I saw was the GTO in the background. Can we get a top 5 on that? 😂
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 ?
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?
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
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! 😁

I like everyting about Chrysler. Thankyou for information.
Yep me too, except the reliability.
@@hafizhamza3786 what do you mean reliability?
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
Look for loose connections at the battery and cables. The battery in these cars is very hard to access and so cable tightness can go unchecked. Tight cable connections are the first thing to check on any electrical problem.
Anyone car randomly cuts off?? 200 2012
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..
True... mine just shut down on me about 5 blocks from home... recently spent about $2,000 on repairs... Need something better like a NISSAN?
@@JussBRAVOofficial Toyota is your best bet. Ask somebody who is well-versed in this line of work and they will probably tell you the same.
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 ?
Had almost all these problems checked off on mine😂 and fuel pump issues
I just recently bought a 2013 Chrysler 200 about 2 1/2 months ago, the first thing I had to do was replace all the brakes calipers and brake pads, the second issue I got was the horn randomly going off while driving and when I lock the car, replaced tipm and was good for a few hours then started honking again. Right after that my second issue was that my car had no acceleration in the middle of the road, it was running fine and then I came to a stop at a red light and then I had no acceleration. Another issue is the master window switch, my windows will stutter or be delayed when rolling up or down, also my fm/am channel does not work but still when it’s on sat the radio just cuts in and out. Kind of unsure what to do since all these issues have come immediately after getting the car :/
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
Hey how's it going need help here have a 2011 Chrysler 200 2.4 coil pack 304 code keeps melting any ideas
I have a 2014 Chrysler 200. My wife has driven tha car about 80.000 miles.At about 75 or 80 it

Any issues with traction control ?
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 believe those codes relate to the crank position sensor, not anything to do with the throttle body, if that's what you meant by throttle piece.
Jacobi mine is also 2012 my radio stopped working the other day and there's actually a recall on the radio so get in contact with Chrysler
My radio doesnt work either
My daughter has a 2012 Chrysler 200 with 65k on it. It runs rough and has stalled out a few times, sometimes the car shakes. Check engine 6n. She was told it's the number 2 cylinder. It's not the coil or spark. She was told too expensive to fix. Not under any recall either. Any help appreciated.
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!!!
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.
How did you fix it lol mine is doing it
That's your acuatater
From what I hear, it’s getting to the actuator that’s the problem
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.

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.
+C J Thanks for the feedback!
I’m there now with my 2012, gonna bleed me dry now, should have stuck with toyota or Honda
So you’re sayin’ she’s been reliable? Lol. My mom has this car and it’s been nothing but trouble, before this 200 my parents were the first owners of a Chrysler New Yorker, transmission went out at 92k. Never buying an American made car. I’m Buying a Hyundai in a few weeks, Toyota is too expensive.
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 🤣
2013 200 3.6 - the heat - A/C dial doesn't always work - I twist all the way either direction to get A/C or heat ?
I HAVE A 2014 200 CHRYSLER WITH THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE..AT ABOUT 85000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT..RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS..
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
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.
How much did they charge you to fix that? I also have a 2012, and I think I may have the same issue.
What would make a knocking noise under my glove box when the heat or ac is on?
Blend door actuator
@@haywoodjablome809 can you please elaborate more, I am a woman lol. I do have knowledge with cars, but apparently not enough! Thank you✌️🔆
You take out the glove box and you see a little white plastic looks thing. It’s a cheap part and if you search on TH-cam you can see how to change it yourself
@@rachelgawrysiakschwister2982 The A/C blower fan is located right under the glove box. If you remove the panel that's under the glove box you can see it (it's just a few clips to remove) I know because my blower is going out and sometimes I have to give it a few taps under the glove box so it can start back up LOL
@@rachelgawrysiakschwister2982 It could be the blend door actuator, which directs heat/cooling to either the floor or vents when you turn the knob telling where the heat/cooling to go. Example, defrost for front windshield, or legs are cold and direct heat to the floor area. Hope this helped, cheers!
My 2013 have issues with the horn, steering wheel controls, could be the clock spring the problem??
Big time thumbs up for an excellent video.
+RAEL Thanks for the feedback!
Alternators as well... I am on my 4th one and still having electrical issues...
Check your cables
I'm replacing mine this week, they designed the alternator to maintain high output, which makes it fail at 75-100 thousand miles sometimes. I have 120 thousand miles.
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
Power meaning?
I have the v6 and has lots of power.
Great videos you have
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?
I know this is 3 years late but here is hoping, what if the heat/air conditioner screams?
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
#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?
Replace or else you will get left stranded in limp mode. Unplug your battery and replace it yourself. No calibration needed
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
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 ?
You need 3 things to not misfire
1 compression
2 fuel
3 spark
Could be any of the above
2013 200 cuts all engine power when going to accelerate. Will not start back up unless I remove body ground. Any fix for this?
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 !
all good but you did not talk about the quality of the engine and transmition which we expected you to do,
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?
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
