What owners wrote
Stopped at a red light, up until then car was driving fine, made a left turn and the 200 loss power and stalled out. The etc light and traction control light came on out the corner of my eye, next thing I know I was plowed into by another car. After doing more research, I have seen this problem come up time after time. The electronic throttle actually has plastic gears, plastic gears that control the opening of the throttle valve im sure those teeth will wear out on nearly every car and cause problems.
2012 chrysler 200 shut off while driving (slowing down coming to a stop sign) with no warning. All power was gone. This happened in july of 2015 and tipm was replaced under extended warranty. Told another faulty tipm and was replaced under part warranty with no cost to me. Any time a vehicle shuts off without warning while driving is extremely hazardous! First time vehicle had approx 65,000 miles. This time approx 80k
