from what your saying there is a throttle body issue, and it also sounds like you may have a [thermostat](/topics-thermostat-chrysler/) problem and maybe a fan issue, right now I can only guess at whats going on because you dont have a scanner. once its in after they diagnose it if you have any questions you can always come back and ask. I would ask for the master tech to work on it so it does get fixed correctly.

Yeah, could a bad sensor cause all of this? Because my car seems to be running just fine, not overheating but it says that it is
Is this a common problem in the 200? Ive had nothing but problems with this car

Do you know how much it would be to fix all of that?
i know you cant tell me exactly, but is this like a thouzand dollar fix or more like a [300](/topics-300/)thousand\*why would the car be blowing cold air when the heat is on?
Mechanic01
250 days ago
it could be 300 or 4000 is too early to give any estimates at the moment
sounds like you have a loss of coolant which is causing your air issue

also why would the throttle body light come on and turn off?Thank you for all your help by the way, im 22 and just got this car a year ago and its a nightmare

that would be something in the accelerator circuit. honestly if you can trade that in or sell it it will be a good idea, as you can tell they are nothing but problems
go to car complaints.com and they can help with good models, I like the hondas and toyotas

Im at like 140% loan to value so trading it in will be such a pain..... this car OMG!!!!!! ugh. Well thank you so so muchhave you heard other people have issues with their chrysler 200?

wow im sorry your dealing with that, you may be able to get a good deal though and the dealer would cover the extra loan amount just to make a deal, that would be a good option, if its running and driving ok I would see if you can do that first, the dealer costs for these repairs will be high
yes I see 2 or 3 of those a day, very problematic vehicles, Chrysler dodge jeep generally have a lot of issues

So i have a chrysler(###) ###-#### and the check [engine](/topics-engine-chrysler/) light is on for a few weeks now, and i was driving on the highway and went to turn off [cruise control](/topics-cruise-control-chrysler/) and it says that the car was overheating the warning light came on, and the temp was not being read anymore on the gauge. then after pulling over and turning the car off, the light went off and it was reading the temp again. then the electronic throtttle warning light came on following the temp warning light again. and my car is not blowing warm air, any ideas?
