NHTSA Complaint #11194371 — 2015 CHRYSLER 200

WHEN COMING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN TO ZERO, THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AS IT DOWNSHIFTS, GIVING IT A FEELING OF JOLTING FORWARD FOR SHORT AND SUDDEN BURSTS WITH EVERY DOWNSHIFT. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGER IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE STOPPING DISTANCE COULD BE INCREASED DUE TO THE JOLTING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. NOT ONLY THAT, IT COULD BE CAUSING EARLIER WEAR AND TEAR ON BRAKING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION IT'S SELF. ALSO, WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT CAN SOMETIMES SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, BEING VERY OBVIOUS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS YOU CAN SEE IT SHAKING, AS WELL AS FEEL IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL, ALL SHAKING STOPS. AUTOMATIC 9-SPEED. 34,XXX MILES
