My wife's 2012 Chrysler 200 has been absolutely flawless up until last week. Now it has a tiny glitch.
Last week, when driving with about a 3/4 tank of gas, the gauge plummeted to empty, low fuel light came on, and then about a minute or two later, the gauge returned to the actual reading and the light went off. She had pulled over and verified that the gas cap was on tight. Good for her for knowing that. Not so good to pull over and get out inches from 65 mph traffic.
Today she filled up, and right after that it repeated - the gauge plummeted to empty, low fuel light came on, and then several seconds later, the gauge returned to the actual reading and the light went off.
But then a new one - about 15 miles or so later, another warning light came on. She said it's a somewhat round symbol with some appendages, almost directly under the low fuel warning light. From looking at the owner's manual online, it appears to be the transmission fluid temperature. She was just shutting the car off at work anyway, and all had appeared well.
Anyone had this happen on a recent vintage Chrysler product, or a 200 specifically? If so, what cured it? It's under warranty at 10,000 miles, so we'll take it in and get it addressed. Just wondering if we're the only ones to experience this.
