Some Chrysler 200 owners report experiencing complete shutdowns while driving, particularly on the freeway, without any diagnostic trouble codes to explain the issue. This sudden stalling, which can occur when decelerating or coming to a stop, poses a significant safety risk, especially at highway speeds around 55 mph. Despite multiple visits to mechanics, some owners find that no codes are stored, complicating the diagnosis process and making it difficult to identify the root cause of the shutdown. Repair costs for these engine stalls can average between $1,000 and $1,130. Previous investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have highlighted similar incidents of stalling without warning during low-speed deceleration, underscoring the seriousness of this issue. Owners are advised to seek thorough inspections and check for any stored trouble codes to address this potentially dangerous problem.
