THE CAR STALLS ON MY WIFE EVERY DAY. SHE SITTING AT LIGHT OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC. YOU CAN BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING IT CUTS OFF. I AM NOW THE ONLY CHRYSLER OWNER THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT, OR MAYBE SOMEONE DIEING DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CALLING SO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I SAW SOMETHING ON GOOGLE AND SAID THERE IS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALER SHIP THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR US TO GET A RECALL ON THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200'S ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM. THIS STARTED HAPPEN BACK IN OCTOBER 2016.

THE CAR HAS SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED LAST YEAR IN MARCH 2018. IT HAD ISSUES W/JERKING BETWEEN GEARS AND "HOPPING", BUT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY (TWICE IN 15 MINS). DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO FIX. BUT, ITS BACK TO SAME PROBLEM. IT SHUT OFF TUESDAY WHILE OUT OF TOWN AT A HOTEL WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO A 5 LANE ROAD. SUPPOSEDLY FIXED, AND THEN SHUT OFF ON INTERSTATE 695 AROUND BALTIMORE LAST NIGHT WHILE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC OVER. SHUTTING OFF WITH -0- WARNING WHILE TRAVELING ON BUSY INTERSTATES IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING. PER RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THIS CAR, NOT SURE WHY NHTSA HAS NOT RECALLED IT YET.

I HAVE HAD MY THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. RECENTLY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I MOVED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT IS LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER BECAUSE THE CLOCK WAS NO LONGER SET TO THE CORRECT TIME. THAT WAS ON MONDAY 1/28/2019. TODAY AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WITHOUT WARNING AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR LOOKED AT FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST DECIDES TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION I CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILLED THIS FORM OUT..

AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES DRIVING FUNCTION MOMENTARILY AND THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MOVE THE CAR FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN HEAVILY TO GET THE CAR TO TRAVEL AT A LOW SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THIS NORMALLY LAST FOR A WHILE THEN STOPS. A CODE READER SAYS 'HIGH SPEED CAN COMMUNICATION BUS' I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OR BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. ALSO WHEN IT IS A HOT DAY THE VEHICLE UNLOCKS IT'S OWN DOORS, STARTS ITSELF, POPS THE TRUNK ON IT'S OWN WHEN I AM NOWHERE AROUND AND THE KEY FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE MY CAR OR MY BELONGINGS TO BE STOLEN.

ON 9/16/18, VEHICLE DIED AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT STARTED, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY TROUBLE SHOOTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. THEY FOUND A SERVICES BULLETIN ABOUT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND REPLACED WIRING HARNESS. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS I NOTICED MY VEHICLE FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. AS TIME WENT ON, I REALIZED IT WASN'T A SLIPPING, BUT A HARD SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LOOSE POWER UPON ACCELERATION TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, BUT AT TIMES IT SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND DIE WHILE IN HEAVY HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC. ON 10/11/2018 WHILE HAVING MY VEHICLE OIL CHANGED, I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM WHAT I WAS FEELING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN FACT NOT SHIFTING OR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I OBTAINED A QUOTE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED MIGHT HELP, BUT OFTEN TIMES FLUSHING CAN CAUSE SYMPTOMS TO WORSEN. I OPTED TO NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AT THAT TIME AND PLANNED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. IT IS NOW THE THE 3RD WEEK IN DECEMBER AND JUST THIS WEEK THE HARD SHIFTING AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC HAS WORSENED SIGNIFICANTLY. I PHONED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TODAY AND SPOKE WITH MY SERVICE ADVISOR TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. I AM TO CALL BACK ON WEDNESDAY 12/26 TO RESERVE A COURTESY VEHICLE AND SCHEDULE APPT. TO DROP MY VEHICLE OFF ON 12/27/2018
