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

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH, MY CAR LOST POWER WITH NO WARNING. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SAW THE ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK TO START". WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART, IT HESITATED IN DOING SO.

THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AS I WAS BRAKING. TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET THE CAR RE-STARTED AND LEFT ME STRANDED DANGEROUSLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE WHICH MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR AND YET IT IS STILL HAPPENING.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE CAR STALLING OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT ON 8/18/18, IT JUST SHUT OFF WHILE STILL IN GEAR. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. LATER THAT SAME DAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME, THANKFULLY ON A QUIET ROAD. IT STARTED TO SPUTTER AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE STILL IN GEAR. SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS TIME, I COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED, SO I CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO TOWED THE CAR TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT. THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND SAID THEY WERE OXIDIZED AND WERE PROBABLY THE CAUSE. I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 8/21/18 AND IT DROVE OK. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND AS I TURNED THE CORNER ONTO A BUSIER ROAD, IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE STILL IN GEAR. I COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART AT ALL. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY EVEN THOUGH I WAS OVER AS FAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I COULD BE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AGAIN AND I RECEIVED A TEXT THAT THEY WOULD BE THERE IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES, AND THEN ANOTHER STATING THEY WOULD BE THERE IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES. THE SHERIFF THAT SHOWED UP SAID SHE WASN'T WAITING AROUND FOR 75 MINUTES AND FORCED ME TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BY THE COUNTY TOW COMPANY AS SHE SAID IT WOULD BE FASTER. MY TOW COMPANY SHOWED UP LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AFTER THEIRS DID, BUT I WAS TOLD TOO BAD AND THEY TOOK MY CAR TO IMPOUND. I HAD TO COME UP WITH ALMOST $300 TO GET MY CAR OUT AND THEN I CALLED MY ROADSIDE AND THEY SWITCHED ME OVER TO CHRYSLER ROADSIDE WHO WAS ABLE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER, WHERE IT NOW SITS. I TOLD THEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AND I WANT IT FIXED. I AM THINKING IT IS THIS IS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL R24

THIS VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. I HAVE TO PULL OVER CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RE START IT. ALSO THERE'S ALWAYS ISSUES WHILE I TRY AND START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NEW ALTERNATOR,NEW BATTERY,FIVE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS MADE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MENTIONS THAT I NEED TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER. WHICH I HAVE TWICE. THEY RE SET THE SOFTWARE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT STILL SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. COTTMAN TRANSMISSION DID A DIAGNOSTIC THAT I PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM AND THE CODES THAT CAME UP ARE MANUFACTURING ISSUES. ASSOCIATED WITH BAD ELECTRICAL WIRING AS WELL AS A BAD SET UP FOR THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE SAME MODEL MAKE AND YEAR FOR THIS VEHICLE THERE WAS A RE CALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND CODE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY COVERS THESE PROBLEMS BUT TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO CHRYSLER TO FIX. CHRYSLER HAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE TWICE AND RE SET THE SYSTEM FOR THE LIGHT TO COME OFF. OF COARSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. NOW EVERYONE IS STILL POINTING THE FINGERS AT EACH OTHER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. MY FACTORY WARRANTY SHOULD FIX IT UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ALSO SILVERROCK SHOULD FIX IT UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY TAKE OFF WORK TO MAINTAINANCE THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP.

THERE IS STILL STALLING WHEN I DRIVE AS IF ITS SWITCHING GEARS(KINDA LIKE A STICK SHIFT) IT'S SCARY BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS AND PLACES I TAKE THE CAR TO IS SAYING ITS ITS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. I'VE DROVE MANY CARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AN I'M ON AUTO CRUISE IT SHIFTS FROM THE # I HAVE IT ON TO A HIGHER LEVEL THEN ONCE AGAIN IT'S LIKE IT WANTS TO STALLS AND KINDA JERKS.
