NHTSA Complaint #10944002 — 2015 CHRYSLER 200

OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND LURCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOW CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE FLOOR, AND LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONE MAJOR COLLISION. DEALERS HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUES BUT THEY RETURN. PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY ACTIVATES ON ITS OWN, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURENCE THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING US TO SKID INTO A DITCH WHILE TRAVELLING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BATTERY AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US AFTER CHARGING US BECAUSE THE BATTERY APPARENTLY ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE HAVE REPLACED EVERY MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT CANNOT GET THE CARS BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. CHRYSLER EITHER HAS NO COMMENT OR DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
