What Common Problems Does the 2014 Chrysler 200 Have?
Common problems found on the 2014 Chrysler 200 include shutting off while driving, transmission issues, and vibrations while driving at highway speeds. Overall, these problems are average compared to other midsize cars, and repair costs are slightly higher as well.
Shutting off while driving is a widespread complaint from owners in the first 60,000 miles. The source of the problem is the totally integrated power module (TIPM) which is a common failure across many Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge models. Replacing the TIPM fixes the problem, costing around $950.
Transmission issues are also mentioned by some owners at around 32,000 miles. Owners complain about the transmission not shifting properly between gears. Usually, the problem is caused by a transmission controller configuration error. Resetting the controller fixes the problem, costing around $100.
Vibrations while driving at highway speeds are another problem brought up by owners in the first 40,000 miles. Worn-out wheel bearings will make the car vibrate while making excessive noise while driving. New wheel bearings cost about $150 per wheel, depending on local labor rates.
There’s only 1 minor recall for airbags, which is better than most other midsize cars. Chrysler will replace the air bag and seat pretensioners for free on affected vehicles.
How Long Will the 2014 Chrysler 200 Last?

Since nearly all 2014 Chrysler 200 models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the A/C condenser for $650, door lock actuators costing $300, and the coolant reservoir which costs around $375.

It is somewhat unreliable. I had problems with mine including the alternator, starter, had to have a new engine put in. Battery went out and then battery cables.

Extremely reliable. The battery gave out on me once all of sudden but other than that no problems. Had the car for 3 years
My Chrysler hasn't given me any problems. It's been very reliable to get me all around town and back.

How Does the Chrysler 200 Compare to the Competition?
The 2014 Chrysler 200 is only an average midsize car. The Chrysler 200 doesn’t stand out as a leader in any areas since it’s still missing a lot of features found in the competition.
The Chrysler 300 is another sedan from Chrysler which costs around $4,000 more. Performance and technology are both better in the Chrysler 300, however, the Chrysler 200 is offered as a convertible. We recommend the Chrysler 300 for 2014 since it has more passenger room.
The Honda Accord is a competitor which costs nearly $5,000 more. Technology is much more up-to-date in the Honda Accord, but the interior is nicer in the Chrysler 200. We recommend the Honda Accord for 2014 since they last longer with lower long-term ownership costs.
