What owners wrote

While returning to airport for return trip home, was in the 2012 chrysler 200 rental car. Slowed down to go into a curve and when came out of curve it was like the vehicle was sucked off the road to the right. Had no choice---that is where the car was going...my passenger and I were airlifted to hospital. I suffered from 3 back fractures, 3 rib fractures, fractured sternum, contusions to the lungs and 26 stitches in the forehead. Was in hospital for a week and out of work for about 2 months.

August 2012 CrashInjury

Driving vehicle to investigate symptoms and during regular casual driving the car stalled, hydraulic brakes went and steering locked while slowing through a school zone. I'm a certified tech with h-d, kawasaki, BMW, and have never had a service manager deny a request that involved serious systems like this until today. That is why I'm filing this complaint on your site, I was told by the s.m. That they couldn't get my 29 day old 200 in before next week monday!
