What 1,983 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Chrysler 200

HAD A CONSTANT LEAK OF OIL. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS THE OIL COOLER GASKET HOUSING THAT HAD A LEAK DUE TO A CRACK OR DEFECTIVE GASKET HOUSING. THE OIL COOLER HAD TO BE REPLACE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR AND ENGINE MODEL BY OTHER MECHANICS. HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP ODDLY FAST AND THEN I WOULD GET TO ALERTS SIMULTANEOUSLY 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT' AND 'SERVICE ELEC. THROTTLE CONTROL' I TURN OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO DOWN. I'M NOT SURE HOW CONCERNED I SHOULD BE OR IF THIS IS A COMMON ERROR.

VEHICLE HAS AROUND 35,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH SLOW ACCELERATION AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. IF I AM APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND I START TO SLOW TO STOP, THE CAR WILL JERK TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE BRAKE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR JERKS TO THE POINT THAT IF I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD MOST LIKELY HIT THEM. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE RPM NEEDLE WAS PAST 4 AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD SOUND. I TRIED TO GO SLOWER BUT THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO AN INTERSTATE, THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SPEED UP. IT WILL BE STUCK AROUND 50-55 AND I REALLY HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO SPEED UP. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND ONCE WHILE PULLING IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RELATING THE A TRANSMISSION ERROR I GOT AS WELL AS A COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR AND MENTIONED THE ISSUES WITH THE JERKING AND STALLING BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE OR GET A CODE. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS A BIT ALARMING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO START GIVING ISSUES.
