NHTSA Complaint #11066742 — 2016 CHRYSLER 200

MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, HAS ONLY 15000 MILES. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. DASHBOARD PROMPT SAYS PUT IN PARK TO START.CAR WON'T START UNTIL AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SEVERAL NEAR MISSED REAR ENDERS CAR STARTED BUT STUTTERING AND NO POWER. FINALLY AFTER SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES ENGINE SMOOTHED OUT. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, BOTH TIMES CAR WAS IN MOTION TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. DEALERSHIP SAID OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED BUT OIL LIFE GAUGE SAID 51% AND OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER 500 MILES.TECH.AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING SAFE ABOUT THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED.
