2012 Chrysler 2 Series electronic stability control (esc) problems

“THE CAR CONSISTENTLY STALLS OUT AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, IF NOT MORE. IT ALSO HONKS ON ITS OWN DURING THAT TIME. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG”

“THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE HEAD AND BACK LIGHTS WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVIING IN TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IT DOESNT START AT ALL , I HAVE TO BAQNG THE DOOR AND THEN THE LOGHTAS WILL COME ON. I PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND ALTINTOR IN THE CAR AND MY NECHNANIC DOESNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS WRONG WOTH IT. BELIEVE IT TO BE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER FIVE MINUTES. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE THERE WAS ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE DETECTED. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOPERABLE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.”

“CAR WAS IN MOTION LEAVING A SHOPPING AREA, TURNING RIGHT AND ACCELERATING ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. AS 45 MPH WAS ACHIEVED, THE CAR DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I LOOKED UP THE ETC INFORMATION AND READ I MAY BE ABLE TO TRY AGAIN TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DID TRY AND ROLLED ON THE SHOULDER FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE BEFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE THOUGH AN INTERSECTION. AT THAT POINT, CAR REPEATED THE ABOVE FAILURE AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED. WHILE WAITING ON THE TOW, I READ SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE, OFTEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR IN OTHER DANGEROUS LOCATIONS LIKE AN INTERSECTION. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING - NO SPUTTERING, HESITATION OR WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THIS FAILURE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT LOOKS TO ME TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.”

“TAKATA RECALL, ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT ARE ON THEY MAKE A FUNNY NOISE WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AND START DRIVING. BUT AFTER I GO SO FAR OR TO 25MPH, MY LIGHTS COME ON AND I BRAKE JUST FINE. I ALSO HAVE A ISSUE WITH MY TURN SIGNALS, IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF MY FRONT LEFT TURNING SOGNAL WORKS BUT IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON MY FRONT LEFT TURNING SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK.”

“THE CAR STALLS OUT!!! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY!! I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE CAR JUST QUIT. IT REFUSED TO START FOR ABOUT 5MINUTES.”
