2015 CHRYSLER 200 Unknown Or Other Problems

ON A BUSY FOUR LANE AVENUE, MY CAR JUST STOPPED. WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO CALL POLICE AND THEY BLOCKED TRAFFIC MOVED OFF OF HIGHWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE COMPLAINING THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON.

THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFT PADDLES (SPORT SHIFT MODEL CHRYSLER 200S) HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR ME. THESE PADDLES (+ AND -) ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES, JUST ABOVE THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE BACK FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 16 MILE ROAD, I THOUGHT I WAS CHANGING THE CHANNEL OF MY RADIO STATION, INSTEAD I HIT THE PADDLE, THIS STOPPED MY ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, INSTEAD THE RPMS WENT UP. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ADJUST AND WAS IN THE LEFT (FAST) LANE WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE 'MICHIGAN LEFT' LANE, I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON HALL ROAD APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, FORTUNATELY I WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY TO TURN ON TO A...

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE FOR ME.IT IS SLOW TO PICK UP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING LIKE A STANDARD. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD SPEEDUP QUICKLY INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE ICON CAME ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY NUMBER THAT ACCIDENTALLY CAME ON WHEN SOMEONE MOVED THE GEARSHIFT BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DRIVE ALONE 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME THE ICON WAS OUT AND WOULD NEVER COME ON AGAIN. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE LEAVING IT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT BACK. THEY...

HAD A DOCTOR'S APPT. LEAVING HOME 2MIN. INTO DRIVE CAR DIDN'T GO OVER 5MI. STOPPED CAR RAN THROW GEARS UNTIL I FELT IT CATCH ,BRAKES FADE SITTING AT A LIGHT , CAR SPEEDS UP GOING DOWN HILL ,SMELL OF BURNING WIRES 6/28/2015 .

CAR TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING , HAPPEN NOW 3X. (7/21,7/30 ,8/2)

THE ENGINE SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL STATE WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" INDICATOR CAME ON FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THEN THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON (P, N, D, S ). IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON AND STILL ALL SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IT STAYED IN THIS CONDITION SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PULLED THE LEAD OFF THE BATTERY TO RESET. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING COMPLETELY THERE WERE 2 OR 3 INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD BIGGER PROBLEMS.

LEAVING FOR WORK IN THE AM, STARTED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200, REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MADE IT TO THE CORNER OF MY CUL DE SAC AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE WORDS "TRANS," AND "EMERGENCY PARK." THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS LOCKED UP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE HAD A HARD TIME WITH IT BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AND THE WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. I COULDN'T MOVE THIS CAR IF I WANTED TO. I COULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK, LOCK THE DOORS, USE FLASHERS, NOTHING... ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WAS OUT OF COMMISSION. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, SAID THEY "PERFORMED MANY SOFTWARE UPGRADES" AND "TEST DROVE IT EXTENSIVELY" AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. 20...

I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL EFFECTING CERTAIN VIN#S IN THE MODEL YEAR 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LINE. THIS RECALL WAS FOR "CONTAMINATED, DISLODGED OR BROKEN PARKING PAWL OR PARK ROD (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V-090): ". WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN# I DO NOT SEE THAT MINE IS INCLUDED BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE UNTIL NOW, ON A WEEKLY BASIS I WILL PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT/DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD 1-3 FEET BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STOPS MOVING. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EITHER THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO INSPECT THIS CAR PROPERLY BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT OR THAT THAT THERE ARE MORE VIN#S THAT SHOULD BE EVALUATED FOR THE ISSUE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT THIS CAR DOES.

WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE AND FELT A JOLT. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OBSERVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY. THE PINCH BOLT WAS INSTALLED BUT THE HEAD OF THE BALL JOINT NEVER PASSED COMPLETELY THROUGH. WHEN IT CAME APART, IT CAME APART WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT JERKED THE AXEL OUT AND CAUSED SOME MINOR BODY DAMAGE. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLIPPED OUT AND TURNED. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS RESTING ON THE FENDER. AS STATED ON THE REPAIR INVOICE...."LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM KNUCKLE, DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE FULLY INSTALLED. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT LOWER ARM, KNUCKLE, AXEL, SPLASH SHIELD. RELEARN POWER STEERING AND FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT". WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A WEEK LONG VACATION AND HAD TO SPEND IT IN A DEALERSHIP AND ENTERPRISE...

CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON MULTIPLE RANDOM TIMES. FIRST HAPPENED TO MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I ASSUMED HE MAYBE DID SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND. SINCE THEN, IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES IN TOWN IN 25MPH SPEED LIMITS ZONES.AROUND THE SAME TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND JUST HAD TO WAIT TILL THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE SHOP THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSUMED THAT THE NEW RECALL FIX WOULD HOPEFULLY AND MAYBE FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES, AND THREE OF...

WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED AND WE WERE JUST COASTING FOR A FEW BLOCKS. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. SOME MESSAGES POPPED UP AND AFTERWARDS, WHEN WE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. GOOD THING WE WERE NOT GOING FAST OR IN TRAFFIC OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE, AGAIN, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOO SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNING ON. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN ON BUT JUST COULDN'T. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING, RADIO, WINDOWS, ETC.

TODAY, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A WALMART PARKING LOT ON TO A BUSY ROAD WHERE CARS GO ABOUT 50-55MPH. I HAD MY 15 YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I STARTED TO PULL OUT INTO THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CAR WENT FROM DRIVING, TO FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED IN TO NEUTRAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARY SITUATIONS AS CARS WERE COMING AT ME, AND ALL I COULD DO IS COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, WITH JUST OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 6 WEEKS. MY HUSBAND IS A DISABLED MILITARY WAR VETERAN. WE HAD TO SAVE AND SAVE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR. WE NEEDED SOMETHING RELIABLE. WE HAVE TEENAGERS WHO ALSO DRIVE. NOW WE ARE ALL TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR; IT COULD BE DEADLY IF...

I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT AT ALL, THE SELECTOR WOULD STAY IN "P" OR THE LIGHT ON THE SELECTOR WOULD GO FROM "P" TO "S" DIRECTLY BYPASSING "N" AND "D" WITH JUST ONE TWIST BUT THE CAR WOULD STAY IN PARK. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS.

AFTER LEAVING IT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN RECONNECTING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "D" AND GET MOVING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ILLUMINATED AND I...
