2015 CHRYSLER 200 Power Train Problems

THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT INTO A BRAND NEW CAR, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO RE-CALLS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CAR AND I'M TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON A CAR THAT IS A LEMON!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BUCKED, JERKED, HESITATED, AND LOST POWER. DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (GARDEN CITY CHRYSLER IN HAMPSTEAD NEW YORK) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

VEHICLE ENGINE CYLINDER WALLS SUFFERED FROM EXCESSIVE SCORING DURING THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS, SHAKES, AND JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND DURING IDLE PERIODS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF THECONSTANT SHAKING AND RUMBLING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CHRYSLER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALMOST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, SUBSEQUENTLY PUTTING ME AND MY NEWBORN BABY AT RISK OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. ONE MORNING IN MY GARAGE, THE 200 WOULD NOT CRANK WHEN PRESSING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND AFTER THIS, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2015, AND...

WHILE IN MOTION, THIS CAR WILL SHIFT VIOLENTLY INTO 3RD GEAR AS WELL AS 5TH GEAR. THE ENTIRE CAR JOLTS FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR MANY DIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE WHEN DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE? THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME EVENT. IT IS A DAILY EVENT. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON ANY CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION ERRONIOUSLY SWITCHED TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND REDUCED SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

FROM JANUARY - APRIL 2017, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR SHIFT GEARS WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THE CAR THROWS UP ERROR MESSAGES REGARDING THE LOSS OF PERFORMANCE SHIFTING AND "LIGHTNING BOLT" SYMBOL. I HAVE TO COAST TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO GET MOVING AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED, I HAD A TRUCK BEHIND ME. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING FAST ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THEY HAVE THOUGHT THEY HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IN AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST MONTH AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD DELAY TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, THE FRONT AND REAR TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE HEAD LIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,971. UPDATED 09/26/17*LJ UPDATED 11/21/2017*JS

2015 CHRYSLER 200 DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AT LEAST 10 TO COUNT THE VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE FAILS. AT THIS POINT I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR WHICH I JUST PURCHASED THREE MONTHS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE A DEATH TRAP. FURTHERMORE THE VEHICLE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT IT WILL NOT COMPLY I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER END THE CHEVY DEALER FOR WHICH I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NO RECALL AND IT APPEARS THAT MY WARRANTY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE CAR TO GET FIXED.

TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD TAKE OUT OF GEAR WHILE I AM MOVING

AFTER SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME AT TIMES SUCH AS AT THE BANK OR DRIVE THRU'S ECT WHEN YOU PULL AWAY IT STARTS FINE PULLING AWAY SLOW. THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP TO GO INTO TRAFFIC IT WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT HELPS IT IS TO LITERALLY SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL PHYSICALLY THEN SHIFT IT BACK TO DRIVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO "COULDN'T MAKE IT DO IT" AND THEY SAID WHEN THE RED ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO BRING IT BACK. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR.

TRANSMISSION HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. HARD SHIFTING, HESITATIONS, AND LUNGING FORWARD ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS BEEN TO AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP THAT THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT ABRUPTLY, CAUSING MY CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD, I'VE ALMOST HIT CARS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DO HAVE SERVICE RECORDS FROM EACH TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP, WHICH STARTED IN AUGUST OF 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SWITCHED GEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION, THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTING FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY AND CONTINUED TO FLASH AFTER THE FAILURE. ALSO AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START AND FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I GET FREQUENT ACCELERATIONS WHEN COASTING AND EVEN APPLYING THE BRAKES LIGHTLY. VERY DISTURBING. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A LARGE LAG FROM THROTTLE PRESS TO ACCELERATION WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN CHANGING LANES IN CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS STARTED IN 2014 SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILURE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.

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....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,390. UPDATED 05/16/17*LJ *AS

WHILE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IT SHIFTS HARD, STALLS AFTER 1ST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR. HAS DOWN SHIFTED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. TRANSMISSION (9 SPEED) AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS REPAIRED. SECOND TRANSMISSION AND SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH ALMOST CAUSING A TRUCK TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH NO OPTIONS TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND DURING A TEST DRIVE WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 40MPH THE RPM JUMPED TO OVER 5K. AFTER THE TECH SHUT THE CRUISE OFF IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING. THIS TRANSMISSIONS DESIGN IS SCARY AND IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. YOUR AGENCY NEEDS TO ACT NOW!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION STALLED AND THE ENGINE FAILED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

THIS VEHICLE IS PRONE TO STOPPING WHEN ONE TRIES TO ACCELERATE INTO OR ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION STALLS OR SLIPS AT4 TO 10 MPH. LEAVE ONE TO FEEL TOTALLY HELPLESS AND AT THE MERCY OF THE TRANSMISSION. IN THE WINTER MONTHS IT IS NOT WORTH DRIVING BECAUSE IT CAN NOT PULL ITSELF THROUGH A WET/SLIPPERY STREET. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH THIS COMPLAINT AN HAVE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHICH EXISTS IN 4 CYLINDER ENGINES WITH 9 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. "LEAR TO LIVE WITH IT!"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT JUST FILED ON 2/24/2017 (COMPLAINT NUMBER 10956764) THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT COMPLAINT. MY CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MARYLAND ON 2/24/2017 TO FIX/REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE (I WAS GOING 58 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR INITIALLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING - SEE FIRST COMPLAINT). FRED FREDRICK'S PHONED AND STATED THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AT 4PM - BY 8:45PM (NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER) WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED. MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C, WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATORS, WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE AND...

1- WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER THIRD GEAR TRANSITION GOES BLANK OR DISENGAGES AND WHEN ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED DOWNSHIFTS ABRUPTLY. 2- SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE TRANSMITION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE AUTOMAKER'S FCA NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS S55

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 58MPH, IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND (I WAS TRAVELING ON ICC 200W FROM LAUREL TO I95) ON 2/24/2017 MY CAR - WITHOUT WARNING CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR SPUTTERED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR PRESENTED A MESSAGE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" WHILE THE "DRIVE" FUNCTION BLINKED PROFUSELY. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND AWAIT A TOW TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IS STATING THAT A BATTERY WIRE WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP, HOWEVER MY CAR MAINTAINED POWER THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS I WAITED FOR THE TOW. ALSO AS A PRECAUTION, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASH BEFORE BEING TOWED AND BOTH THE BATTERY POWER AND OIL WERE FINE. I RECENTLY HAD MY PCM AND TCM REPROGRAMMED DUE...

WHEN THE 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH GEAR, THE CAR EXPERIENCES A A BRIEF ACCELERATION AS ENGINE SPEED MOMENTARILY INCREASES. THIS PERIOD OF ACCELERATION OCCURS AT THE DOWNSHIFT WHETHER THE CAR IS COASTING OR THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING LIGHTLY BEING APPLIED, THE CAR COULD LURCH FORWARD INTO A CAR IN FRONT. OR RESULT IN A POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL IF THE STREET IS ICY OR ODDURS DURING A TURN. I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATES WHICH HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY CAR HAS BEEN "JERKING" SINCE I BOUGHT & WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD BY CJD ARLINGTON IN HAT IT WAS THE 9 SPEED TRANNY & THE CAR HAS TO RELEARN MY DRIVING.12/28 MY CAR LOST POWER AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN.THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THE CAR DIDN'T STORE ANY ERROR MESSAGES AND WAS SAFE TO PICK UP. I REFUSED AND ASKED THEM TO TEST THE CAR MORE BECAUSE THERE OBVIOUSLY HAD TO BE AN ISSUE SINCE THE CAR CUT OFF & WENT INTO NEUTRAL AS I WAS BRAKING AT A LIGHT.I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT CJD IN TOWN & THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY STATING I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND POSSIBLY A NEW TRANNY. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE ENGINE & THE TCM VALVE. I GOT THE CAR BACK(1/6/17) AND THE NEXT MORNING I PULLED OUT ON A STREET...

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS, I HAVE TO LET UP ON THE GAS AND THEN APPLY PRESSURE TO GAS PETAL AND IT WILL FINALLY SHIFT VERY HARD. SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO EXELERATE ON RAMP TO GET INTO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL NOT EXELERATE BUT JUST BE STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN IT WILL JUMP OR SHIFT VERY HARD INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE I'M COMING OFF THE RAMP TO SLOW. OTHER TIMES I WILL JUST BE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT WILL JUMP WITHOUT SHIFTING. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH MY DEALERSHIP ON MAY OCCASIONS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2016.

COMPATIBILITY OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION (POWERTRAIN). WHILE STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THERE IS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE STILL IN A STATIONARY MODE YOU CAN MOVE THE SELECTOR KNOB TO NEUTRAL AND THE VIBRATION WILL GO AWAY. THIS TEST CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A TORQUE ISSUE WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN. CHRYSLER HAS INCORPORATED ALL KNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATES AND REPLACED ALL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CHRYSLER RESPONSE WAS THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 200 AND WILL NOT AFFECT ANY COMPONENTS. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION INDICATES THAT THERE ARE COMPONENTS NOT IN ACCEPTABLE RANGE OF TOLERANCE AND WILL CAUSE COMPONENTS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. THIS PROBLEM THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN COULD BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IS POSSIBLE SHOULD THE POWERTRAIN LOCK UP DUE TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF...

I WAS PARKED ON THE STREET ONE DAY AND COULDN'T START THE CAR, I CALLED A TOW TRUCK HE RIGHT AWAY SAID IT'S A ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSE THE BATTERY WORKED, FINALLY HE GOT THE CAR STARTED THE KNOB SHIFTER WAS JUST LOOSE IT TURNED BACK AND FORTH BUT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SO HE SAID HE CAN'T TOW THE CAR SINCE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE FUNNY THING IS, IT SHOWS ITS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION BUT STILL IT'S PARKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE. SO FAR I'M SITTING IN MY CAR AND DONNO WHAT TO DO. WHAT A LEMON THIS CAR IS, EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAD ISSUES WITH JUMPY TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND REGAINED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND LURCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOW CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE FLOOR, AND LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONE MAJOR COLLISION. DEALERS HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUES BUT THEY RETURN. PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY ACTIVATES ON ITS OWN, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURENCE THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING US TO SKID INTO A DITCH WHILE TRAVELLING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BATTERY AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US AFTER CHARGING US BECAUSE THE BATTERY APPARENTLY ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE...

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200C WITH A 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION, I HAVE REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND THE SELLING DEALER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WHEN DOWN SHIFTING FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR AND 5TH TO 4TH GEAR ACTUALLY STAYS ENGAGED AND CONTINUES TO PULL THE CAR ALONG TO THE POINT TAHE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN NO HELP HAS BEEN GIVEN TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE EXCEPT TO BE TO;D THAT A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP.I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT LEFT UN-REPAIRED IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT HOWEVER I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A DEALER REP THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS A PROBLEM EXISTS BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS.

THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUAL JERKING,RATTLING, AND BOUNCING AT THE REAR WITH THE SLIGHTEST DIP IN ROAD WITHIN CITY LIMITS AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOUNDS AS IF THE VEHICLES IS ABOUT TO FALL APART. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE ITSELF CAUSING ME TO HARD BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION. *TR

PURCHASES CAR ON AUG 4, 2015 SINCE DAY I PURCHASED CAR IT HAS HAD A HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AT INITIAL START. YOU START CAR AND TURN DIAL TO DRIVE BUT IF U IMMEDIATELY TRY TO TAKE OFF THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV AS IF YOUR IN NEUTRAL IT TAKES ABOUT 15-30 SECONDS ONCE YOU TURN THE DIAL BEFORE CAR IS IN GEAR. AFTER ABOUT MAYBE 10,000 MILES I NOTICED CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JERK AS IF IT HAD BEEN STUCK IN A GEAR MAYBE THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AROUND 60+ MPH BRAKES HARD AND DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN HAD TO STAND ON THEM AND STILL BARELY STOPPED. SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED 20 MIN LATER AND THEY WERE FINE. SERVICE AWD LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE AND INSTALL OF BRAND NEW TIRES. WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND...

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, RANDOM TIMES OF DAY, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START MY CAR (OR SOMETIMES ALREADY BE DRIVING) BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON WITH A MESSAGE READING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" AND I CAN NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED AT TIMES WHEN I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAS EVEN LEFT ME STRANDED IN VACANT PARKING LOTS. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. I LEFT MY CAR, HAD THE UPGRADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. DURING ALL OF MY CONVERSATIONS AND VISITS TO THE DEALER, I SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS MENTIONED ONCE TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I FOUND...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ENGINE TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. IN REVIEWING THE POTENTIAL ISSUES, A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, POTENTIALLY DUE TO A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE SCANNED AT AUTOZONE, IT PROVIDED CODES P0218 TWICE AND P2181 ONCE. *TR

IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME THING EVERY TIME NOW THEY ARE TELLING THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM BEING INNING TO BELIEVE I BOUGHT A LEMON. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD ASKED THE SALESMAN WAS THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLE HIS REPLY WAS NO . BUT THE MORE I INVESTIGATE IT THE MORE I FIND OUT IT IS A DEATH TRAP. WHY WON'T SOMEONE DO SOMETHING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THEN THEY REALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE FROM WHAT I AM READING. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH SICK KIDS I HAVE ONE CHILD THAT HAS A HEART PROBLEM. AND ANOTHER CHILD WITH...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPETE LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR 'MISSES' SHIFT POINTS. DEALER STATES THAT "EVERYTHING IS NORMAL" WHEN COMING TO A STOP, CAR LURCHES FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY, NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH EVERY TIME. ONCE AGAIN DEALER SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL OPERATION". DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH, BRAKE PEDAL WENT DEAD AND EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED, CAUSING CAR TO SKID OFF THE ROAD. DEALER SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, YET THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

THE CAR LURCHES AHEAD WHEN DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS ON THE STREETS. IT HAS SHUT OFF ONE TIME WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, IN A PARKING LOT. I HAVE BEEN A LITTLE AFRAID OF IT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER. TAKEN PLACE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN MAR, 2015 AND CONTINUES.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET APPROACHING STOPPED TRAFFIC. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE STOPPING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 6TH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THEY PUT AN UPDATE IN THE COMPUTER AND RELEARNED THE CAR WHATEVER THAT MEANT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, AFTER TEST DRIVING THE CAR I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. THIS WAS THE 5TH 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT I TEST DROVE, BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT.
