Ow
I have 13 with 187000 best car ever runs perfect change oil every 6000 trans perfect
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.
+Lee Rogers Thanks for the feedback!
Very stupid place to put a very small battery, my motorcycle has about the same size battery.
Amen. It makes replacement difficult and expensive.
Yeah ,putting in a new battery was a PITA, but my 200 has been a great car
That was the most annoying fix on this car. Took me 2 years before I realized there was no battery in the engine bay lol
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.
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

Seems like you got the top 5 spot on
Amazing summary. We have been experiencing some throttle body errors. It's great to know what it is all about.
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
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.
Same thing happened to me, in this case though the other car flipped, fortunately enough everyone was ok thanks to the safety of the vehicle 🫡
I appreciate you shAring your knowledge and experience it does help a lot time & money
Thank you now we can fix these little headache issues
Very informative and you are extremely entertaining. Enjoy watching, listening and learning. Thanks!
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 myust be dpimyghg something wrong . I can smoke the wheels off my stock 2013 V6 convertiblr.
You could have had a V6.
Not seeing a whole lot of comments about 2013 thank God! Been good to me so far. Have the V6 too.
I’ve been having heater problems with mine, great vid
My Chrysler 200 has heater problems aswell because I have to put it on defrost then on regular heat for the heat to turn on in the winters
@@HPUNCAKE-mq1sq would u recommend this as a first car
Absolutely not I've replace the heater core the motor at 75000 miles now I has 101 and the timing chain tensioner has gone bad
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.
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 ?
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
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
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.
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 .
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.
Had Sebring this o now 200 Chrysler convertible
Chrysler should pay you for enjoying the vehicle you bought??
Am I missing something?🤯
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?
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 ?
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

Great video !!! Thanks.
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 !
Hey how's it going need help here have a 2011 Chrysler 200 2.4 coil pack 304 code keeps melting any ideas
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?
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
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?
Thank you
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!!!
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??
Great video on this car i got
Great teacher
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
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.
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
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
First thing I saw was the GTO in the background. Can we get a top 5 on that? 😂
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.
I have a 2011. It has over 240k and runs like a champ in our Wisconsin winters!
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
Great videos you have
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 🤣
The best!
2013 200 cuts all engine power when going to accelerate. Will not start back up unless I remove body ground. Any fix for this?
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
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
Dude I need all this done in mine! Where are you located?
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.
I really like the video
I like everyting about Chrysler. Thankyou for information.
Yep me too, except the reliability.
@@hafizhamza3786 what do you mean reliability?
#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
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
Dude you rule thanks
thanks-- to the point, professional

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".
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.
Had almost all these problems checked off on mine😂 and fuel pump issues
Big time thumbs up for an excellent video.
+RAEL Thanks for the feedback!
Good job!
+Johnny Winsett Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
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
Have you ever come across a 2013 chryer 200 where the horn just stopped working? If so what did you to diagnose the problem?
The horn is under the passenger headlight you have to take the front bumper off but it's a easy switch
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
+Santanna Hughes We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Any issues with traction control ?
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
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
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.
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!!!
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.
Mine overheats. Replaced allpmost ecerythubg that can cause it to overheat and they still cant figure out why
All these comments about 2012 😮 glad i came here i was about to buy one 😅😅😅
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
+Harry We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Does it shake while your driving at a certain speed! Or when just sitting and it's in drive like your at a light or something or park?
I have a 2012 Dodge Avenger with a 2.4L engine . Car runs fine but when I’m at a stop sign or traffic light it vibrates while gear selector is in drive . As soon as I accelerate even slightly or put the car in park the vibration goes away . My motor mounts are fine as well
Had the same problem it was my coils...I changed the 4coils and it works great now.
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...
How many miles were on the car in the video
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?
we have a 2013 chrysler 200 an the remote start works then shuts off whats the problym with it?

That car trash ... I had it for 2 years.... It's horrible
Can you a do a power steering pump replacement for this vehicle
u can find other videos on this subject... i did mine on a 2011, 200... easy work, but u do need a hand vacuum pump to get the air out of the power steering system and u can get these pumps cheap
My radiator hose busted a few weeks ago
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
Anybody know IF E10 fuel is okey for these cars?
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’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
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 2014 touring is randomly stalling and then just shuts off in middle of the road any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with my 2013.
Crank shaft sensor it would throw a code if that's the problem
If the master switch for the windows dies, does that disable the switches on the other doors from operating the window? My passenger side window went down but wont go back up, the switch on that door as well as the master switch do not work to have it roll back up. would replacing the master fix this issue if its not in fact the motor?
I had the same problem and switched the door one first no power still then switched the master and it corrected it now my master won't control the passenger but it works on its on so I still have no idea if it controls it or not lol....now mine won't crank at all so I'm trying to figure out why we have no fire
One thing that has worked for me on the windows is holding the passenger window button up on both master and passenger door at the same time....mine will do that sometimes also
im dealing w the same issue right now, did you get an answer to this question from anywhere else?
How to replace the ac actuator behind the radio.
what code is amp 560-3

@@parrisprice5892 thank you
My vehicle just shut off while driving no check engine lights or anything, any idea ? The alternator and battery are new aswell
Did you find out what was wrong with it ??
I'm having the same problem. It shuts off when I'm driving - but not always. No check engine lights, I have BlueDriver hooked up looking for codes, but it's not throwing any. I've had it to my mechanic's shop twice, they can't find anything wrong, I took it to a Chrysler dealer's repair shop. They ran a 4-hour comprehensive test, couldn't find anything wrong. But it stalled 4 times in one day last week! I have it at another Chrysler dealer's repair shop, but so far no answers. If you got an answer to your question, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
Try checking the Crank shaft sensor. Mine did it as well going to work. It stalled while driving then started then cut off and started again. But it eventually threw a code and when replaced the crank shaft sensor it's been starting right up.
I see these cars in the shop a lot😯
+Philly Dee Thanks for the feedback!
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 200 convertible. Augh. I love my car. But. Replaced my door switch. Replaced my heater core. $$$$.
I love mine.
