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

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER AND A JERKING MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY THE 28 TO 35 MPH RANGE. ALSO SWITCHING THE GEARS FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE OR REVERSE WILL FREEZE. HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRY AGAIN. AS FAR AS THE SUSPENSION, THE LEFT REAR HAS MADE A SOUND ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. IT MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND IF GOING OVER A BUMP, OR HIT A DEVIATION IN THE ROAD. WAS TOLD FOR THE LONGEST TIME COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN 1 SHOCK IS BAD.

AIR BAG SENSOR, COOLING THERMOSTAT AND HOSING. SHOCKS HEADLIGHT ISSUES ELECTRICAL. I HAVE PUT TWO THERMOSTAT AND CHANGED HOSING TWICE. THERE ARE SEVER RECALLS LISTED ON THE SAME MAKE YEAR AND MODEL AND UNDER MY VIN THERE'S NO RECALLS YET I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT WERE RECALLED ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SINCE WHY ISN'T MY CAR COVERED FOR THE RECALLS. I TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND CALLED COOPERATE AND THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T COVERED BUT THERE'S RECALLS WITH THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL.

THE CAR HAS A SEVERAL SECOND HESITATION WHEN PLACING YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS WHEN STARTING FROM EITHER A STOPPED POSITION OR A SLOWED POSITION. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, WHEN SLOWLY BACKING UP IT LOOSES POWER AND STALLS AS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO CHANGE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS COME ON WHILE SLOWING DOWN COMING DOWN AN INCLINE CAUSING A CAR BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SWERVE FROM HITTING ME MY VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR AT THE TIME. ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND MOTORWORLD WHERE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

MY BREAKING IS IN EFFECTIVE. THE RIDE OF THE CAR IS NOT SMOOTH. WHEN TAKING IT TO GET IT SERVICED THEY TOLD ME MY MAKE AND MODEL IS ON RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING BUT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPAIRED AS IT IS EXPENSIVE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY VIN NUMBER SHOULD FALL IN THE RECALL GUIDELINES.

NHTSA ODI 11203634

I AM EXPERIENCING RATTLING FROM MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL THAT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THERE ARE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRES. HOWEVER, I CAN FEEL EVERY BUMP THAT I GO OVER BUT ONLY ON THE SIDE WHERE THE BACK TIRE IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

NHTSA ODI 11203022

THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE CAR SHUT OFF DURING A RIGHT TURN. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE. THE CAR JERKS AS IF A GHOST IS HITTING IT FROM BEHIND IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT SHAKES EVERYONE UP IN FRONT AND BACK SEATS AND IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY. THIS BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND IT WASN'T NOT PROVOKED BY AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

FIRST, THERE IS THE HVAC/WINDSHIELD DEFROST. MY CONCERN WITH THAT CONDITION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRAVEL AND TO HAVE THE HVAC TO WORK PROPERLY IN THE SUMMER IS VITAL AS WELL, AS HAVING A CLEAR WINDSHIELD. A BREAKDOWN AT NIGHT, AN ACCIDENT, HITTING A POLE HOLE, SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WOULD BE FAR WORSE THAN A MERE INCONVENIENCE. INCIDENTALLY, MY INTENDED USE OF THE VEHICLE WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR TO THE SALES STAFF WHEN I BOUGHT IT. SECOND, AND THE MATTER OF FAR GREATER CONCERN TO ME IS THE TRANSMISSION. CAR MAKING CLUCKING NOISE, VIBRATING, JERKING WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND LAUNCHING WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM THE BACK. THIRD, VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. WHICH IN RETURN I'VE BEEN WITHOUT VEHICLE FOR MORE THEN 14 DAYS AND OCCUR EXTRA EXPENSES OF CAR RENTALS, TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT DUE TO IRREGULAR WEAR. FOURTH, HESITATION ON ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED WITH REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE SHAFT. DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFT WAS THE REASON FOR DELAY AND JERKING. FIFTH, EXCESSIVE GAS BURNING. I WAS INFORMED THAT EXIST BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT. ONCE DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED IT DIDN'T RESOLVE ISSUE. I WAS GIVING A FORMULA TO CALCULATE GAS MILEAGE, WHICH WAS GIVEN TO DEALER. CAR AVERAGING 16MPG. PER CAR STICKER FUEL ECONOMY: HIGHWAY 29/ CITY 18. CAR IS DRIVEN MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT A LOT OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. OUR STATE'S LEMON LAW DICTATES THAT A VEHICLE CARRIES A PRESUMPTION THAT IT IS A LEMON IF A CONDITION EXISTS 'THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND THE NONCONFORMITY HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO REPAIR TWO OR MORE TIMES BY THE MANUFACTURER OR ITS AGENTS, AND THE BUYER OR LESSEE HAS AT LEAST ONCE DIRECTLY NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE NEED FOR THE REPAIR OF THE NONCONFORMITY.'

WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 -CAR ACCIDENT ON 04/27/2016 PER THE WAY HE VEHICLE WAS HIT AND THE DAMAGES, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF... MEANING THE PUSH TO START WOULD NOT TURN OFF ENGINE... THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THERE IS NO REASON EXACTLY WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BEING THAT THE AXLE IS DAMAGED AS WELL.
