Original Comment My Name is Denise. I purchased my 2013-Chrysler-200 v6 in December of 2012. I had a Toyota Yaris 2007 with some heavy miles on it, but in the 5.6 years of ownership, I only had to do the basic oil change, tire-rotation and &quot;battery replacement twice&quot;. <br /> WOW am I sorry that I bought a Chrysler! In less then 3000 miles got a recall notice (June 2013) for the gas valve in gas tank, has had 4 engine lights that I am told are not to be of concern (really! ) Its the flipping Engine light!<br /> by the service tech's (its in the programming???) well I am a bit of a programmer and when there is a bug in a program, that means something is not working right. The transmission started to do thump/off shift of gears at slow rate of speed and the techs tell me that its normal and its the new technology, but they had to added a solution &quot;adative&quot; to the transmission - &quot; to help it stop the thumping&quot; it continues to do that same thing at random and slow rates of speed, and as the gears are shifting. I have for the second time visit the dealer about the recall notice (June 2013) and still the part is not in?? Why does the dealer not have the parts??? its a recall for concerns of engine stopping/pausing suddenly??. The cookie of all stories is the mechanic that recommended that I needed to rotate and balance my tires (July 20th 2013). Fair enough - right - ONLY I had that done the previous WEEK. And when I asked what determines the need for a tire rotation and balance, I am told - &quot;the miles on the car&quot; Well what about asking the customer, &quot;When was the last time you had the tire rotated and balanced&quot; or even looking at the damn tires to see if they need rotation (we went on a test drive to prove that the tires does not need rotation and balancing)?? - then the oil change for this problem of a new car. Denise - You should only let the dealer change the oil - fair enough, but I ask why? and am told- cause we only use Chrysler products - Right the Pennzoil that Jiffy Lube uses is different from the Pennzoil that Chrysler uses. OK,now lets see, its the oil filter - Chrysler uses MoPar - well the oil filter that I used in the Toyota Yaris was from Jiffy Lube and I NEVER had so much as ONE - UNO - NADA of an issue. WTF I should have kept my purchase in the Toyota family side of auto buying. Know I am screwed by a this engine light Chrysler (that no one has an answer for)- an American Car Dealer (Chrysler) that I and you tax payers helped BALE OUT with our tax dollars. W-T-Flip ! and the car is only seven months old, with a bit over 8 thousand in miles?? DAMN am I up the creek with no paddles. No do not buy the Chrysler, and I am not saying buy Toyota, but do your homework and consider all facts before you get into this with the darn Chrysler line of cars. They have issues. They look nice but engineered poorly - LOTS of issues!
