NHTSA Complaint #10971427 — 2015 CHRYSLER 200

OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST 4 MONTHS, MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY LOST ALL TRANSMISSION POWER 3 TIMES. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE INFORMATION DISPLAY READS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRANSMISSION," "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE," "SHIFT TO P TO SELECT A GEAR," "PERFORMANCE SHIFTING UNAVAILABLE". THESE MESSAGES WILL CONTINUE TO DISPLAY AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE ENGINE DOES STAY ON, BUT WILL HAVE NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THE CAR IS EFFECTIVELY STUCK IN NEUTRAL. EACH OF THE 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE BEEN AT FULL SPEED, BETWEEN 45 AND 80 MPH. THE SECOND TWO TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED HAVE BEEN IN DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE LOCATIONS, JUST YESTERDAY, I LOST ALL POWER WHILE EXECUTING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS 3 LANES OF BUSY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE SMALL BIT OF GRAVITY THAT PULLED ME ACROSS THE INTERSECTION BEFORE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT HAPPENED. EACH OF THE 3 TIMES, I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. EACH OF THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR "ISN'T THROWING ANY CODES" AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A MALFUNCTION. THEY WILL FLASH A NEW TSB, RESET THE TRANSMISSION, AND SEND ME ON MY WAY, ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY. THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE DUE TO THESE ONGOING POWERTRAIN STRUGGLES, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, COMPLETELY UNSAFE. IT'S CAUSED ME NEARLY 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENTS DUE TO TOTAL LACK OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS.
