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

VEHICLE HASSTARTED STALLING IF I DO NOT LET IT RUN FOR 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND BATTRY CHECKED. EVERYONE SAYS THEY ARE FINE. AFTER MY BATTERY DIED FROM THE COLD AND MY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND SEE EVERYONE ELSE HAS AS WELL. I WANT A RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY ASS IT HAPPENS MOSTLY AS I AM ACCELERATING TO TURN CORNERS OR GO AT LIGHTS WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 2015 IN MARCH 2016. ODOMETER READ 28350. OCTOBER 2017 HIT A BUMP GOING TO WORK, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON. HAD A LITTLE ANXIETY BUT W JUST THE RIGHT BUMPS LIGHT WOULD GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL FEB OF 2020 WHEN I SEND THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE A THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED AS WELL AS THAT DASH WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES AND GOES. MECHANIC REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING IS UNDER RECALL AND CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THAT. OK. I MAKE AN APPT AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GRESHAM OREGON AND THEY TELL ME AFTER A 4 HR DIAGNOSTIC THAT THE AIRBAG SAFETY HARNESSES UNDER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT I NEED TO REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST WILL BE $2705. HELLO CHRYSLER??? THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM OR AT LEAST MY SOLE PROBLEM.

MY CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT WHICH TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO KICK IN. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK. I WILL LET IT RUN FOR A MINUTE AND THEN DRIVE OFF BUT IT WILL STILL STALL ONCE I PULL UP TO THE STOP SIGN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I AM AFRAID IT MAY STALL AND I MAY GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE FOR A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ON OUT THERE. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT THE NOTHING SHOWS ANYTHING WRONG.

MY CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL RECENTLY. IT IS USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR DECELERATING ALTHOUGH IT IS ALSO WHILE IN COMPLETE MOTION BUT COASTING. THERE IS NO WARNING SOUND, LIGHTS OR INDICATION. ONE MUST FIND A WAY TO GET OFF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE). THE CAR DOES NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY. THE ONLY LIGHT ON DURING THIS TIME IS THE BATTERY LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING AND THE 'START' BUTTON SHOWS THE CAR IS IN THE 'RUN' POSITION. POWER STEERING IS ALSO LOST DURING THIS TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

INTERMITTENT TROUBLE BREAKING. SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GETS STIFF, SOMETIMES THE PEDAL CLICKS WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE, SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL IS GOING TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR OR BREAK OFF AND ALSO FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN (STEERING WHEEL AND AXLE CONNECTING THE FRONTT TIRES IS GOING TO BREAK! ALSO FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SINKING SOMETIMES AND THAT I CAN'T STOP AND WILL CRASH!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT HAS THROWN SOME SERV AWD CODE TO ME TWICE NOW WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE BUT THEN GOES OUT AND NO CODES ARE ABLE TO BE READ BUT THIS HAPPENS CONCURRENTLY WITH SUDDEN BRAKING ISSUES IT SEEMS LIKE! HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY BUT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND HAS VARIED IN CONDITIONS AS TO WHEN THE PROBLEM FLARED UP.

FRIDAY MORNING ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET THAT NAVIGATES THROUGH DOWNTOWN WHERE I WORK AT. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35MPH. AS I WAS CONTINUING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR SHUT OFF MID DRIVE . I LOST CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AS WELL AS MY BREAKS. A CAR THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME DUE TO THE LACK OF WARNING FOR THE ABRUPT STOP . THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, GOING FROM 35 MPH TO 0 MPH , WITH NO CONTROL OF THE WHEEL OR BREAKS , I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LET THE CAR COAST AND WAVE MY HANDS OUT THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO SIGNAL CARS BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT HIT ME. MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHERE I BLOCKED BUSY TRAFFIC FOR OVER 45 MINUTES WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK I HAD TO CALL . THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP WHEN I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART IT AS THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH BLINKING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK , WHICH I COULDN'T BECAUSE THE GEARS LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T MOVE. AS A CONSUMER THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'S UNSAFE . I WAS 1 HOUR LATE TO WORK AND I TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR . I LOVED MY CHRYSLER AND I'M VERY SAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CHRYSLER 200, THINGS LIKE THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE SEEM VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.

VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN IDLING,PARKED,STOPPED OR WHEN NOT IN MOTION. RPMS DROPS BELOW 1 WHEN IN PARK AND THIS BEGINS THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO GAIN SPEED IN WHICH, IT STAYS MODERATED THEN ACCELERATES AT ONCE. AS WELL AS, AT RANDOM TIMES VEHICLE WILL JERK UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN MOTION. ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS FINALLY CAME ON. I HAVE HAD MAINTENANCE DONE ON MY END TO HELP FIX THE ISSUES AND NOTHING CAN BE RESOLVED.

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY STALL OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT JUST SEEMED TO HAVE HAD A DEAD BATTERY. I GOT A JUMP IT WAS FINE. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIED SO I HAD TO STOP THE CAR TURN IT BACK ON AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON BUT IT DROVE FINE. THREE DAYS LATER, IT DIES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES IT HAD DIED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ELECTRONICALLY WERE ON 55MPH ROADS. THE TIME MY TRANSMISSION DIED IT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE SO I WASN'T GOING TOO FAST.

DURING THE PAST 2 MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TURNING OFF JUST MINUTES AFTER WE DROVE IT OFF THE PARKING LOT. AT NIGHT THE CAR WOULD BE LEFT OVERNIGHT PARKED LIKE ANY OTHER REGULAR CAR. THEN ME AND MY SPOUSE WOULD WARM UP THE CAR BEFORE WE WOULD HEAD TO WORK AND THEN WE WOULD DRIVE OFF. THE CAR WOULD WARM UP AFTER WE TURNED IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK GOOD, IT WOULD NOT DIE. UNTIL WE ACTUALLY CHANGED GEARS AND TURNED TO DRIVE IT OFF THE PARKING LOT WE WOULD DRIVE OFF A FEW STREETS AND IT WOULD COMPLETELY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS ATLEAST A F3 OR 4 DAYS OUT OF THE 7 DAY WEEK. WE CHANGED THE BATTERY ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND WE WENT BACK TO AUTOZONE BUT THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS 100% CHARGED SO THE ISSUE WASN'T THE BATTERY. WE WENT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE TRYING TO CHARGE US OVER 1,000 BECAUSE OF A VACUUM CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS ALREADY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. USUALLY IT SHUTS OFF WHEN WE DECELERATE THE CAR NOT ACCELERATE

CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS OUT AND OR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN IDLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SEEING HOW IT DOES IT IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC.

I BOUGHT A CAR AT AN AUCTION THAT HAS TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. I WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH WANTED ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. AFTER COMPLAINING TO REPORT THEM ONE DEALER PRETENDED TO DO THE REPAIR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.OBVIOUSLY THE RECALLS WERE NEVER DONE AND SINCE THEY PUT ON REPORT THEY WERE DONE THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING ME TO STALL.. ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED PROPERLY SO I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CRASHING AND INJURING MYSELF OR GOD FORBID DIE.

NHTSA ODI 11311590

THE CAR WILL SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING OR JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO IT STALLED OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT NOTICE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ENGINE WAS OFF AND ITS TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START IT. I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT JUST RAPIDLY SHUTTERS AND TRIES TO START FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN STOPS AND DINGS AT ME.

NHTSA ODI 11311642

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. I TRIED TO START IT AT MY HOUSE AND IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER JUMPING IT, IT STARTED BUT IT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE PARKING BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND PERFORMANCE SHIFTING UNAVAILABLE. I UNHOOKED THE BATTERY IN HOPES IT WOULD HELP SOMETHING THEN WHEN I RESTARTED IT IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WON'T SHIFT INTO PARK.

NHTSA ODI 11311487

MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER AS I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TO STOP AND SHUT IT OFF THEN RESTART THE CAR AND IT DRIVES FINE. ALSO VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING OIL. THE SHOP GUYS SAID HE USE TO WORK FOR CHRYSLER AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER 200 & 300. ALSO A FEW OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE FIXED AND NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME PARTS

NHTSA ODI 11311055

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 ABRUPTLY LOSES ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TEST AND WAS FULLY CHARGED, THE ALTERNATOR IS COMPLETELY FINE. ALSO WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF THE HAZARDS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK..AND LEAVES ME TO BELIEVE IF I WERE TO HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT DAY THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. I AM HONESTLY TERRIFIED TO GET BACK INTO THAT CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS..THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. ONE WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR THE LOW BEAMS WORK WHENEVER THEY WANT TO. TOO MANY PROBLEMS!!

NHTSA ODI 11311189

EVERY TIME I NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE, I'LL HAVE TO START MY CAR FOR A HOUR AHEAD OF TIME SO IT CAN SAFELY DRIVE WITHOUT DYING. IF I TAKE OFF FROM WHATEVER LOCATION AND NOT START IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN IT WILL CONTINUE DYING ON ME AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES.
