NHTSA Complaint #11386914 — 2015 CHRYSLER 200

THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF AFTER STARTING & DRIVING A VERY SHORT DISTANCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE/FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT WOULD COME ON. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND IT MIGHT RUN FINE AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY & DROVE A GOOD DISTANCE WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP AND START A LOT. THE ISSUE WOULD ARISE MORE WHEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES WITH CONSTANT STOPS & TIGHT TURNS OR SOMETIMES WHEN HAVING TO DE-ACCELERATE QUICKLY. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF FOR A SECOND THEN RESTARTED, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON WOULD BE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN O'REILLYS FOR A FREE TEST & THE ONLY CODES THAT CAME BACK WAS P0302 - CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & P2172 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. THE ISSUE HAD GOTTEN WORSE SO I HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS WITH NGK IRIDIUM PLUGS AND THE 2ND CYLINDER IGNITION COIL WITH A BOSCH IGNITION COIL. THE CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE CODE WENT AWAY WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT THE MAIN ISSUE PERSISTS, THE CAR WON'T STAY ON & THE P2172 TACS CODE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE & UNABLE TO DRIVE. THE DATE I'M USING FOR THE QUESTION OF WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED IS WHEN I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL ISSUE STARTED AROUND THE 2ND WEEK OF DECEMBER SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DECEMBER 10TH-DECEMBER 14TH.
