2013 CHRYSLER 200 — Complaint #1391429
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:INDICATOR LIGHT filed July 12, 2017
NHTSA complaint #1391429 (ODI reference 11004801) concerns a 2013 CHRYSLER 200 and was filed on July 12, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 24, 2016. The vehicle had 77,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to West Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:indicator light, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER 200 cohort independently describe similar parking brake:indicator light failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 CHRYSLER 200 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
