2015 CHRYSLER 200 Exterior Lighting Problems

Radio not working. Headlights quit working. Replaced them both. Within 5 minutes, one bulb exploded. Next day it won’t crank.

THE FRONT BLINKER LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING BUT ONLY WHEN LIGHTS ARE OFF THEY ONLY WORK WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON OR ON AUTOMATIC

ON NOVEMBER 21, 2020, THE 7TH DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM CAR MAX, I DROVE MY CAR FROM TX TO AR. NEARLY HALFWAY TO AR THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND WENT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT HAS IT DURING THE DAY TIME. ONCE I ARRIVED IN AR, THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER BUT THERE WERE NO ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DROVE TO THE STORE AND IN THE STORE PARKING LOT THE CAR QUIT ON ME AFTER THE LIGHTS FLICKERED SEVERAL TIMES!!! I AM LIVID! I HAVE A 5-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME! WHAT IF THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY? WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER FIXED THIS ISSUE? I'M JUST NOW READING ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH NUMEROUS CAR OWNERS!!! I DESIRE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY! IF SOMETHING WE'RE TO HAPPENED...

HE CAR AUTOMATICAL SPEED UP.AND THE LIGHT KEEP GOING OUT

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 ABRUPTLY LOSES ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TEST AND WAS FULLY CHARGED, THE ALTERNATOR IS COMPLETELY FINE. ALSO WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF THE HAZARDS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK..AND LEAVES ME TO BELIEVE IF I WERE TO HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT DAY THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. I AM HONESTLY TERRIFIED TO GET BACK INTO THAT CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS..THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. ONE WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR THE LOW BEAMS WORK WHENEVER THEY WANT TO. TOO MANY PROBLEMS!!

SO IT ALL STARTED WHEN MY CAR RADIO SHORTED OUT AND WASN'T WORKING AND MY ODOMETER STARTED FLASHING. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF DRIVING WITH THE RADIO UNPLUGGED, THE CAR BATTERY STARTS DRAINING ITSELF TO A DEAD BATTERY. NOW THE CAR SITS AND DOESN'T HOLD A CHARGE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. MY DASH LIGHTS UP ON ITS OWN WHEN THE KEY FOBS ARE NOT IN OR NEAR THE CAR. I'VE CHANGED THE BATTERY'S TO THE KEY FOBS AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR IT STATES THAT THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED.

1) POWER TRAIN-WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 65MPH THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT WOULD GO. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN MAKING A RIGHT TURN IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND WOULDN'T GO. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STOPPED, WENT TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE. THE CAR ACTS CONFUSED FORM TIME TO TIME. FROM A STOP POSITION AT TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND THEN THUMPS BEFORE IT GOES INTO GEAR. 2). CRUISE CONTROL- TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE IN THE MOUNTAIN REGION OF N. GEORGIA, MY CRUISE WAS SET FOR 55MPH. THE CRUISE PICKED UP SPEED UP TO 70 MPH THEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING VERY CONFUSED AT WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DOING. THE BRAKE WOULDN'T RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I...

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL CUT OUT AS IM DRIVING.. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE FIRST THEN BOTH.. OR BOTH ST THE SAME TIME.. AS IM DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN MY TPMS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SOME DAYS IT WON'T SHOW THE PSI IN THE TIRE ON THE DASH

2015 CHRYSLER 200.AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PASSENGER SIDE MAKES THE POWER TRAIN TO KEEP ON BUILDING SPEED WITH NO PERSONAL ASSIST.THE DASH LIGHTS AT NIGHT WHEN TURN DOWN ON SWITCH SUDDENLY GETS VERY BRIGHT IT WILL BLIND YOU.THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP WITH NO PERSONAL ASSIST. ONLY IN MOTION

CAR LOSING POWER .... STALLING .... TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHEN BACKING UP AND DRIVING UP A HILL ...

MY SPEEDOMETER AND DASHBOARD KEEPS BLINKING AND GLITCHING OUT.

VEHICLE SUSPENSION SEEMS TO HAVE GONE BAD. 2015 SEDAN NOW SOUNDS LIKE AN OLDER CAR WHEN RIDING OVER ROUGH SPOTS IN PAVEMENT. ALSO, AWD NOT AVAILABLE LIGHT FIRST FLASHED ON WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN ON RAINY DAY. IT WAS FOLLOWED BY SERVICE AWD INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON. AT FIRST THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW COME ON EACH TIME ENGINE IS STARTED AND THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT NOW STAYS ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF.

STOP FOR GAS GOT BACK IN MY CAR AL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND CAR WONT START. TRIED TO JUMP CAR OFF NOTHING SO I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY STILL NOTHING I KEEP HEARING CLICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD

IT?S BEEN AT LEAST 8MONTHS SINCE I?VE DRIVEN MY OWN CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAFETY HAZARDS ON IT AND I AM PREGNANT. I FEEL TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THINKING THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WANTS TO ACT UP. SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD FINANCED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD POP ON AND OFF. THE CAR STARTED TO STAY AT A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD OR LONG I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS WAS ONGOING FOR MONTHS.. IT WAS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND I DIDN?T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR AFTER JUST FINANCING ONE AND...

RANDOMLY IF I HIT A BUMP MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. NOW FOR A 2015 200 LIMITED WHY AM I NEEDING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STARTER ASSEMBLY AND NOW TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIR SHUTTER GRILLE. THE VEHICLE HEADLAMPS ARE EXTREMELY POOR. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE SEE ON ALL HIGHWAYS, SIDE STREETS ETC. NOW THE TRACTION STABILIZERS LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS BACKING IN TO A PARKING SPACE AS WELL AS MY BRAKES JUST STARTED MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE OUT NO WHERE AS DRIVING ON THE STREET. THERE NO REASON WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A RECALL ON MULTIPLE VEHICLE ISSUES AS MOST PEOPLE ARE STATING. WHY ISN'T THERE A NUMBER I CAN CALL TO FILE A COMPLIANT WITH ALL THE VEHICLE ISSUES I'VE EXPERIENCED? THIS JUST CRAZY THEN TO HAVE TO COME OUTTA $1,300.00 FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS IS CRAZY! WHY DOES THIS VEHICLE STALL WHEN...

THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO TO COME ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON.

ON HIGHWAY AT DUSK, LOST BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT SAME TIME. THEN PULLED OVER - NO LIGHTS IN CAR. TWO MONTHS LATER -- PULING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OF HOME -- BACKUP MIRROR WENT BLANK AND CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DASHBOARD/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER KEEPS ON FLASHING IN AND OUT, STAYING OFF FOR AT LEASE 5 SECONDS AT A TIME. AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CAR ALSO TENDS TO PICK UP SPEED WHILE BRAKING. LETS TALK ABOUT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES ABSOLUTELY SUCK, THEY DON'T HOLD PROPERLY AT ALL. WHILE COMING TO A STOP I OFTEN HAVE TO SINK MY FOOT INTO THE PEDDLE AND GIVE MYSELF EXTRA FEET TO STOP.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND NOW THE LIGHTS ARE GOING COMPLETELY OUT. I THOUGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE ONLY FEATURE AFFECTED UNTIL TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT AS WELL CREATING A VERY BAD SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. I JUST CHECK IT FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND MY VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER EARLIER MODELS THAT APPEAR TO BE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT WERE COVERED BY RECALL IS THERE ANY WAY THAT A RECALL MAY BE ARRIVING ON THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY BEFORE ALL OF THIS STARTED AS WELL AS A CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR FAULTY COOLANT SENSOR AS WELL. ALL MAINTENANCE...

CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. CAR FREQUENTLY RESETS ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY WITHOUT REASON. DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. GEAR SWITCH HAS LOW VOLTAGE, SHUTS OFF CAR.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL; RADIO AND BACK-UP CAMERA GOES BLACK SO THEY ARE NOT VISABLE

THE LOW BEAMS ARE BLOCKED BY ASSEMBLY AND IN ORDER TO GET THEM POINTED HIGH ENOUGH TO DO ANY GOOD THE HIGH BEAMS DONT WORK CORRECTLY. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES. IF POINTED AT A WALL YOU CAN CYCLE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW BEAMS AND THE LOW BEAMS SHOW UP AS A IF YOU WERE COVERING HALF OF A NORMAL HEADLIGHT WITH A BOOK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO BRIGHTEN CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT WAS POORLY DESIGNED. THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT REACH FAR ENOUGH AHEAD AND APPEAR TO BE HOODED*JS

YOUR AGENCY REPORTED HEADLAMPS ON MY MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE POOR TO MARGINAL IN TERMS OF VISION, AND IS SAFETY RELATED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AND HAD THE HEADLAMPS INSPECTED BY MY DEALER. DEALER, OBVIOUSLY, SAYS THEY OPERATED AS DESIGNED, BUT THE INDICATION BY NHTSA IS THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED POORLY, AND ARE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. MY 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA HEADLAMP DEPTH OF FIELD IS 30' GREATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH UP AN INCLINE AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHENEVER DRIVING AROUND A CURVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE READJUSTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING AT NIGHT, ANY SPEED, ANY TYPE ROAD. THERE IS VERY LIMITED LOW BEAM PROJECTION. APPEARS TO BE APPROX. 50' OR LESS(3 WHITE STRIPES AHEAD OF VEHICLE). APPEARS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSY.. THE PLACEMENT OF THE BULB IS EITHER TOO DEEP OR TOO HIGH AND THE TOP OF THE ASSY. IS BLOCKING FROM A HIGHER PROJECTION ANGLE. HIGH BEAM PROJECTION IS GOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BUT NO ADJUSTMENTS HAVE HELPED. THEY HAD NO SUGGESTION FOR REMEDY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND ANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FAILED. AS A RESULT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED WITH THE VEHICLE STARTED, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A CURB. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING TELLING ME I HAD TO PARK THE CAR. ONCE I PARKED IT I COULD NOT GET IT TO START AGAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND RESET THE PCM TO GET IT TO START AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING TELLING ME I HAD TO PARK THE CAR. ONCE I PARKED FOR A LITTLE BIT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I WILL HAVE IT TOWED TODAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THE CAR.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS COMPLAINT SHOWN BELOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MAY 7,2015. ORIGINALLY INFORMED BY THE DEALER WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT TRANSAXLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MAY 20,2015 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE EARLIEST THEY CAN GET A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE JUNE 26,2015 AND POSSIBLY AS FAR OUT AS AUGUST OF 2015. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP. REPAIR AND RETURN IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. "RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSAXLE PARK ROD LATE APRIL 2015. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHERE INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL AFTER MAY 1, 2015 NEEDED A SPECIFIC TOOL THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED. THEY DID INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AFTER...
