There is so many recalls with this vehicle, between electric problems and everything else. The gear system is set up so stupidly. They donÕt lock while you drive so be prepared if your going down the street trying to turn your radio up or AC down and accidentally grab the gears for your car to throw the parking park on and your car locked up while youÕre driving. IÕve replaced the master power switch window control twice, and they both only lasted a week.

I have very much been OK with owning the Chrysler 200. It has proved to be very reliable, and I do a lot of driving. It is my main vehicle, and I drive it everyday. Besides wear items like brakes and tires, I have not had to put any money into it after almost eighty-thousand miles. I consider that pretty darn reliable, especially coming from an American manufacturer. It also has a very nice interior. Probably one of the best in a budget vehicle. It is very sorely lacking in anything modern or technology related. Nothing but an Aux port and automatic windows. I would rather have Bluetooth than a leather-lined steering wheel. I would also caution that this car has no power. Although again the engine is reliable, it's probably one of the slowest vehicles I have ever driven. You can feel the four-cylinder engine creaking under what is actually a fairly heavy vehicle. Also, the handling is pretty subpar. Again, it's a larger “small” car. Chrysler could certainly spend some more time tuning the steering to make it feel a whole lot more nimble.
