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

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR A YEAR. THE DEALER MAC HAIK IN GEORGETOWN TX HAS SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND WHEN IT IS PUT INTO GEAR IT LUNGES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY ANNOYING WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS. I HAVE TOLD THEM OVER AND OVER AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION MAN IS OUT ON LEAVE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE BECAUSE OF HOW IT DRIVES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. I AM FRUSTRATED AND VERY AGGRAVATED. IF THIS IS THE AMERICAN IMPORT OF THE YEAR, WE ARE IN DIRE STRAITS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR! THIS WAS NOT THE CAR THAT I DEMOED AND WHEN I SAID SOMETHING TO THE SALESPERSON, HE AND THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THE CAR HAD TO ADJUST TO THE WAY I DRIVE.

VEHICLE UNDER RECALL WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION OR PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. OWNERS ARE TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL A SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. CAR WILL STALL OR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. CAR HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING, SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN DRIVE. CAR ENGINE REVVED UP, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATES I I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY AVOIDING TRAFFIC. WARNING LIGHTS FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUCTING ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION, STOP SAFELY, TURN OFF CAR, PLACE INTO PARK. DOING ALL OF THIS LEFT THE CAR STUCK IN EITHER "RUN" OR "ACCESSORY" MODE. CAR WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN, EVEN WHEN KEY FOB WAS AWAY FROM CAR. GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. ALL LIGHTS WERE LIT UP ON THE GEAR SHIFT. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR CLOCK TIME FROZE AND A WARNING CAME ON THE SCREEN SAYING TO SERVICE VEHICLE PHONE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER TWICE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 4 TIMES WITHIN 25 DAYS, AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP NOW. MANUAL PARK RELEASE HAD TO BE USED IN ORDER TO TOW VEHICLE AS THE GEAR SHIFT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR. CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR OWNERS AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS AN IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN SPEED AND LOSS OF CONTROL COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

DURING TEST DRIVE OF 2015 CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE STOPPED AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR KNOB CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH STRAIGHT ON COLONIAL DR.,BY BLUE KNOB DEALERSHIP IN DUNCANSVILLE, PA THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. IF CARS WERE PARKED ON SIDE OF ROAD I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT WERE ON AND I COULD NOT MOVE KNOB TO PARK. WAITED APPROX. 2 MINUTES AND LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I TURNED KNOB TO PARK AND RESTARTED CAR. I ASSUMED CAR ENGINE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN A LONG TIME AND WAS COLD.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE 7/31/2015, ON 8/17/2015 VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK, MISS OUT , TRY TO DIE WHEN DRIVING AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK INTO SHOP 8/18/2015 AND FOUND OUT THAT THE MOTOR WAS BAD AND IT WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT AND NEEDED REPLACED. MOTOR HAD 468 MILES ON IT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND OUT THAT AN ENTIRE LINE WAS PRODUCED WHERE SOME OF THESE MOTORS WERE NOT PUT TOGETHER PROPERLY (MISSING A SEAL). TO THIS DATE, 10/7/2015 I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL OR ANY MENTION OF SAID PROBLEM. MY MOTOR WAS TO BE REPLACED, I TOLD CHRYSLER I WANTED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I HAD ONLY 2 WEEKS AND THE MAJOR PART OF VEHICLE WAS JUNK. THEY SUGGESTED A REPLACEMENT, WE TRIED THAT SOLUTION AND 4 WEEKS INTO IT, THEY HAD STILL NOT MOVED. I AM NOW ASKING THEM TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND LET ME MOVE ON. I FEEL LIKE THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS, AS THERE IS POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH BAD MOTORS SITTING ON LOTS, DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST WAITING TO FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,900.

MY ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON A ONE LANE RAMP, GOING ABOUT 25 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR AROUND A BEND. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE, NOT PARK OR NEUTRAL. I COULD NOT RESTART MY ENGINE. ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, LANE SENSE, AND PARK SENSE WERE DISABLED. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC - THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND ME WAS TO GO UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS NOT SAFE. PEOPLE BEHIND ME TRIED TO HELP BY PUSHING THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT. I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO SEND INCIDENT RESPONSE TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE WAY. THE INCIDENT RESPONSE TRUCK ALSO COULD NOT PUSH ME OUT OF THE WAY, BUT AFTER ROCKING MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SCREEN SHOWED A MESSAGE SAYING TO SERVICE TRANSMISISON. I DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FOUND MANY CASES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS, AND I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLY A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, ONLY THAT THEIR SERVICE MANUAL SAYS REFLASHING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER COPORATE ALSO CANNOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. SEVERAL TESTIMONIES ONLINE SAY THAT THEIR CAR WAS NOT FIXED BY REFLASHING THE TCM. HAVING YOUR NEW CAR DIE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING IS AN UNACCEPTABLE, POSSIBLY FATAL RISK. I ONLY HOPE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I WON'T BE IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN FRONT OF A SEMI-TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC UNTIL I AM CLEAR TO ENTER INTO THE ROADWAY. UPON A SPACE OPENING FOR ME TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO AND THERE IS A DELAYED REACTION FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO AND YOU CAN AUDIBLY HEAR THE ENGINE WIND UP. AFTER A BRIEF WHILE I CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT AS IF IT WAS EITHER IN NEUTRAL OR STUCK ON A GEAR. THEN THE VEHICLE WILL LAUNCH YOU OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD CLOSE CALLS TO WHERE DUE TO THE DELAY I'VE ALMOST HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT MYSELF FROM GOING INTO TRAFFIC AS THE DELAY PUT ME AT RISK. WHEN IT LAUNCHED ME INTO TRAFFIC I THEN HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES AND SPEED AWAY. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION IS LAGGING BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR. YOU CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE ALMOST SPUTTER SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

CAR WAS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY ON SEPTEMBER 22ND. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. WHEN I STARTED IT THE MORNING OF THE 23RD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGHLY. I DROVE SLOWLY TO THE DEALER, DOUG SMITH CHRYSLER IN AMERICAN FORK, UT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A CART AND HORSE CONCERN: APPARENTLY THE COIL ON THE #6 CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND ALSO THE COIL DRIVER IN THE PCM HAD ALSO FAILED. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH OCCURRED FIRST AND THEN LIKELY CAUSED THE OTHER PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR WAS NEARLY UNDRIVEABLE AS IT WAS; WHAT IF THE PCM HAD SUFFERED A CASCADING DAMAGE OF SOME SORT? ESPECIALLY, WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY? I JUST THINK THAT A COMPONENT OF SUCH IMPORTANCE AS THE PCM SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ONLY 11000 MILES. I NOW HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT: WILL IT BE BRAND NEW OR REBUILT? IF REBUILT, HOW RELIABLE WILL THAT END UP BEING? I ALSO FEEL THAT A SPARK PLUG COIL SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST THAN TO FAIL AT ONLY 11000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE COULD REPRESENT A SEVERE DANGER TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLY TO OTHERS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH MY VEHICLE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MANUEVER TO THE SHOULDER AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TURNING VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TRYING TO SHIFT BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD COME ON AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THIS OCCURED ON TWO OTHER OCCASSIONS. THE LAST TIME ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF CARS COMING BEHIND ME.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND LOSES ALL POWER AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. IT STAYS IN DRIVE. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START AND IS STUCK IN DRIVE. YOU ARE UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO PUT IT IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE BEFORE IT WENT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEN AGAIN THE DAY AFTER IT WAS PICKED UP FROM BEING REPAIRED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THEY DID AN R08 RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED OR KILLED WITH THIS CAR. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. DEALERSHIP THINKS IT MAY BE ANOTHER RECALL R24 THAT CAME OUT THREE DAYS AGO BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED.

2015 CHRYSLER 200 RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE RAC IN DALLAS, TX. 2.4L FOUR-CYLINDER/9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRAVELING AT STEADY 55-60 MPH ON A CONTROLLED-ACCESS TOLL ROAD. I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO APPROX. 65 MPH TO PASS A VEHICLE AHEAD, TRIGGERING A DOWNSHIFT. I THEN DETERMINED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WERE NOT FAVORABLE TO PASS, SO I REDUCED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE IN PASSING GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE SLOWING. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-75 MPH, AND EACH TIME IT TOOK THE CAR BETWEEN 4-7 SECONDS AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING AND BEGIN TO SLOW.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT NO ENGINE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE HOME ( ABOUT 10 MILES). I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND BACK ( ABOUT 24 MILES ROUND TRIP ) THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO WORK AND IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES TO ME BEFORE I GOT TO WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WHEN I FOUND THIS WEBSITE. I SAW A COMPLAINT FROM SOMEONE IN LAKEWOOD CALIFORNIA THAT LISTED A RECALL #, (14113 RO1 RECALL WC 0.50 TO REPROGRAM THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE) AND THE TCM (TRANS CONTROL MODULE)) SO WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I GAVE THEM THIS INFORMATION. THEY HAD THE CAR 5 DAYS AND TEST DROVE IT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY SAID THEY DID THE REPROGRAMMING AND ALSO SECURED A WIRING HARNESS ( WHICH WAS ALSO MENTIONED IN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS) ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER UPDATES THAT WERE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE HAVE THE CAR BACK NOW, TIME AND MILES WILL TELL IF THIS WAS THE SOLUTION OR NOT.
