        How this compares

        2014 Chrysler 200177
        Median 2014 model here (95 vehicles)304
        Median 2014 sedan here (35)317

        177 complaints is 1.7 times fewer than the median 2014 model on this site and 1.8 times fewer than the median 2014 sedan. Among the 3 200 model years here it ranks 3rd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
