Past couple months have been pretty stressful with my 200. Currently at 120k miles.
I have issues with the car cranking long and having to give gas to start. It doesn’t do it every time, usually the first start of the day and if I’ve been driving in it the heat for a couple hours. Also the car seems to go into a limp mode sometimes and it will give me a jerk back. Kinda like hesitation.
Has only stalled on me once, and it started right back up. Since then it’s been in the shop and has had two spark plugs replaced. Negative battery port was loose so that was fixed. MAF sensor has been replaced. Oil has been changed. (I’ve had that issue before where my car acts up with low oil so I always make sure there has been oil topped off or changed when needed). I’ve tried the gas cleaner stuff. All recalls in the past have been fixed.
Kinda at a loss and don’t know what to do, or if the shop doesn’t know what they are doing. I’m on month 2 of having to take it there and back because I still feel the jerk and long cranking. I would like to avoid the dealership. Has anyone ever experienced this with a 200?
