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

UPON STARTING CAR' AIRBAG LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ON. LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS BEEN ONGOING. SEEMS TO BE ROUGH IDLE' WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN GEAR IT JERKS. DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE CAR STALLS CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR REAR END IMPACT WHILE AIRBAG LIGHT MAY BE ON THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES TAKEN. AFTER READING TESTIMONIALS ABOUT OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS' THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A PATTERN WITH SAFETY CONCERNS.

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG WARNING SENSOR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING OFF AND ON FOR OVER A YEAR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR AND IT WOULD COST ME ALOT TO REPLACE THEM. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER (GROG OUT) INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST STALL. AND JUST RECENTLY THE GAS CAP WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT WAS TOLD SOMETHING WAS FAULTY.

FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR STALLS AND/OR DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED AND DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (?) WERE ALL ON. SECOND PROBLEM: THERE IS A MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMES ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WIT THE SAME PROBLEM. ON THE YELLOW WIRE BOX UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THERE WAS A BLACK LATCH (?) THAT CLICKED WHEN I SQUEEZED. THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY.

MY VEHICLE JERKS WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF, ENGINE ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT BEEN ON OVER A YEAR WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE THEY HAD TO SHAMPOO DRIVER SEAT. AFTER 2 OR 3 MONTHS I TOOK CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AND REPORT THE CAR JERKING SOMETIMES WHEN TAKING OFF THE MECHANIC TOOK ME I DIDN'T NEED AN OIL CHANGE , AND THE CAR JERKING WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW..SO I BELIEVE HIM. THEY CHANGED MY OIL FOR A YEAR AND RANDOMLY I TOLD THEM IT STILL JERK..IT WOULD JERK IN THE CITY ON MY JOB AND ON INTERSTATE.

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF ANY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. THE TYPE OF GAS DOES NOT PREVENT THE SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE ISSUE IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY 100% OF THE TIME. IT'S HAPPENED AFTER I'VE PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND REENTERED THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AGAIN THIS IS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK. TODAY, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLED. I"M VERY AFRAID. I'M USING TODAY'S DATE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR CLUSTERS MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT CRIMPS IN THE TRANSMISSION WIRE HARNESS, AND AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION MAY UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. THE CAR IS SHAKING RIGHT AFTER I REFILLED THE GAS TO FULL. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED OVER 5 TIMES. HOWEVER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED THE NEXT DAY AFTER I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGH WAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AND THE CAR LOST ITS POWER.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I WAITED A FEW DAYS AND TOOK IT TO COLLIERVILLE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MAY 30,2017, THIS IS WHAT WAS DONE. "CEL: DRIVABILITY/ CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERFORM DTC INSPECTION, SMOKE TEST,TIGHTENED GAS CAP AND RAN PRESSURE TEST, PASSED" AND I WAS GOOD TO GO. THEN IN SEPTEMBER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AN GAS CAP LIGHT CAN ON AGAIN SO I WENT BACK TO THE COLLIERVILLE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 9-12-2017, THEY DID THE SAME CHECK AS ABOVE EXCEPT THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP SO I PAID FOR A NEW GAS CAP. THEN 2 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN SO I CALLED THEM AND GOT THE RUN AROUND. SO AFTER RIDING AROUND WITH THE LIGHTS ON FOR WEEKS I DECIDED TO GO BACK ON 10-09-2017 TO SEE IF THEY GET THIS RESOLVED. COLLIERVILLE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK THE CAR AND SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEN 2 DAYS LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN THE GAS CAP LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY CAR WAS ALWAYS IN MOTION EVERY TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/ GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ONW.

CAR HESITATES WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN FEEL IT HARD SHIFT IN 5TH GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES RANDOMLY ON SHOWING CODE FOR A MIS-FIRE IN CYLINDER 5. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD FIXED (SUPPOSEDLY) AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. CAR STILL CONTINUES TO MISFIRE AND SURGE IN 5TH GEAR. HAD MECHANIC CHANGE OUT ALL SPARK PLUGS BUT THE COMPUTER STILL READS MISFIRE. EVERY OTHER GEAR SEEMS FINE. CAR IDLES ROUGH WHILE STOPPED AND IF YOU LET FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT SHAKES LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL TO PIECES. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND ITS SPENT MORE TIME IN THE SHOP OR SITTING THAN I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE.

MY CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE (AND DOES DIE WHEN I USE THE FOB TO START IT) WHEN IT IS STARTED AND WHEN IT IS RUNNING....LAST SUNDAY (2-26-17) MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND VIBRATE. MY CAR BARELY HAD ANY ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HESITATING AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACE 4 SPARKPLUGS. ANOTHER TEST WAS REDONE, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND ALL SEEMED WELL. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES BEGAN TO SPUTTER YET THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS BAD; STILL HESITATION AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. WEDNESDAY, MY FOB WOULD NOT START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE CAR BUT THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IN. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MECHANIC WANTS TO START REPLACING ONE COIL AT A TIME. HE ALSO SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A 2015. (MY CAR FLOODED IN AUGUST 2016 AND I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2016)

NHTSA ODI 10958396

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND RELEASED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

NHTSA ODI 10852545

CAR HAS TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. WELL BELOW GOVT AVERAGE/WINDOW STICKER. I WAS ONLY GETTING 17 MPG WHERE THE MIN CITY RATING WAS 23. AFTER MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER AND DEALING WITH THE TERRIBLE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE SERVICE DEPT FINALLY DID THE TSB THAT DEALT WITH THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATION. THEY REFLASHED/UPDATED THE TRANS SOFTWARE AND NOW I'M GETTING 24 MPG WHICH IS THE BARE MINIMUM I BASICALLY SHOULD GET. HIGHWAY IS STILL FAIRLY BELOW SPECS AND I DO NOT GET NEAR THE COMBINED 28 MPG EITHER. I HAD ALMOST 4700 MILES ON THE CAR BEFORE THEY REALIZED THEY NEEDED TO DO THE TSB ON IT. NOW OF COURSE AFTER SPENDING MUCH MORE MONEY ON GAS THAN I SHOULD HAVE, CHRYSLER DOESN'T CARE AT ALL AND BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I ASKED FOR FAIR COMPENSATION SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT THEY LET A CAR OUT OF THE FACTORY THAT WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY NOR DID THE DEALER DO THE TSB BEFORE THE CAR WAS SOLD. I DOUBT I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER FCA VEHICLE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. ALSO THE CAR HAD JERKY TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT PROMPTED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE TRANS TO BEGIN WITH THEN THEY FOUND THE TSB INFO.
