Chrysler 200 1st Generation

2011–2014 · sedan

The first-generation 200 (2011-2014) is fundamentally a heavily refreshed Chrysler Sebring, rebadged and restyled by the post-bankruptcy Chrysler-Fiat company to distance itself from a struggling nameplate. Sedan and convertible body styles continued. Engines were the 2.4L World inline-four and the 3.6L Pentastar V6; the Pentastar transformed the car's driving feel. The Eminem 'Imported From Detroit' Super Bowl ad in 2011 was the most memorable thing about the launch. Replaced by an all-new second-generation 200 for 2015.

Watch out: Owner reports of TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) failures across this era of Chrysler products, causing intermittent no-starts, fuel-pump issues, and miscellaneous electrical faults. The 2.4L four is unremarkable but the convertible top hydraulics and the rear power-folding-top assembly are known wear items. The 62TE 6-speed automatic behind the Pentastar is generally durable with regular fluid service.
