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

THE CAR, WHEN TURNING AND SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL AND LOSES MOTIVE POWER. I HAVE HAD 20 INCIDENTS OVER A PERIOD OF 2 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 2 CHRYSLER CERTIFIED DEALERS SERVICE.THE CAR 8 OR 9 TIMES BUT HAVE NEVER REPAIRED THE DEFECT WHERE IT WILL LAST LONGER THAN 3 DAYS TO 2 MONTHS AND 4 WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE WARRANTY ARBITRATION PROGRAM. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FOR ALL SERVICE CALLS. THE FCA US CUSTOMER CARE REP. REFERRED ME TO NCDS USA. THIS VEHICLE IS AN UNSAFE POTENTIAL PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH LIABILITY AND I KNOW THAT THE PRIMARY IMPORTANCE FOR NHTSA IS SAFETY. *LN*JB*JB

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C ALL-WHEEL DRIVE 3.6 L V6 HAS RANDOMLY HAD BOUTS OF STIFFNESS/LACK OF NORMAL TENSION IN MY STEERING USUALLY WHEN GOING TO TURN HUT HAS HAPPENED AT OTHER TIMES AS WELL LIKE WHEN CHANGING LANES! ALSO I'VE NOTICED A CLICKING/CREAKING BREAK PEDAL THAT WILL SPORADICALLY GET SEVERLY STIFF AND WHEN DEPRESSED DOES NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE OR IT WILL CLICK AND SINK LIKE THE PEDAL BBN IS GOING TO FALL THROUGH MY FLOOR BOARD WHILE I'M TRYING TO BREAK AT ANY SPEED! THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL I SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THE $20,000 BILL AND HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDING AROUND IN A CAR THAT DOESN'T WANT TO BREAK OR STEER PROPERLY AND I'VE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING'S JUST FINE WITH IT OF COURSE THEY THINK THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO GO OUT SAME WITH MANY OTHER THINGS ON MY VEHICLE WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S NOT ELECTRICAL EITHER WAY I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CAUSE IS IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT OR IF IT'S GOING TO CAUSE ME NOT BE ABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE PROPERLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WE ALL DESERVE OUR MONEY BACK BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SAFE AND THESE CARS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED TO THE MARKET!

VEHICLE OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND COMING TO AN IDLE IN TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, ALL LIQUIDS ARE TOPPED OFF, CAR WILL THEN SHOW NO SYMPTOMS FOR A MONTH OR TWO LATER IT WILL OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. CAR RANDOMLY OVERHEATS IN THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT COME UP, WHILE COOLANT IS TOPPED OFF. EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS DRIVING FROM SAN DIEGO TO LA HOUR AND 40 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE WE EXIT THE FREEWAY GO TO A DRIVE-THROUGH AT CARL'S JR. AND THE CAR BEGINS TO OVERHEAT THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND COOLENT WAS AT THE CORRECT LEVEL, WE PULLED OVER ALLOWED CAR TO COOL DOWN, CONTINUED WITH OUR DRIVE NO OTHER SITUATION OF CAR OVERHEATING RETURN TO SAN DIEGO 2 HOUR DRIVE NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS. I'M DRIVING THROUGH TRAFFIC CAR BEGINS TO OVERHEAT PULL OVER AND ALLOW CAR TO COOL NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. ABOUT FOUR OTHER SITUATIONS OF THE SAME NATURE OCCURRED SINCE, THE CAR CONTINUES TO INDICATE NOTHING IS WRONG YET THE CAR CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT

WHILE TURNING, THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT STRUGGLED TO TURN ON. ALSO WHEN IM DRIVING IT FEEL LIKE TURNING BACK OFF..

NHTSA ODI 11266608

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD VEHICLE CHECK AND GOT A CODE. U1504 IMPLAUSIBLE MESSAGE DATA LENGTH RECEIVED FROM STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE AIRBAD MAY NOT DOPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THERE IS NOT AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE SAFTEY SYSTEM ON THE CAR AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM FOURTH TO FIFTH GEAR, JERKED, AND THE REAR END LIFTED UP. EXTRA FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS INCREASED. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION BECAME STUCK IN FOURTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE WARNING INDICATORS WENT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FULLERTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (1050 US-22, SOMERVILLE, NJ 08876, (877) 375-6024) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE TRANS IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE EVERY TIME YOU WOULD STOP I TOOK IT IN AND THEY UPDATED THE PCM AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IT SHIFTED BETTER BUT THE CLINKING NOISE IS STILL THERE.THE E BREAK AUTOMATICALLY COMES ON FREQUENTLY WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE OUT OF NOWHERE. THE CLINKING NOISE HAPPENS MORE WHEN YOU'RE IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY END IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS COMES ON AS WELL BUT NOT FOR SURE

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN, SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED

NHTSA ODI 11265638

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.

VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF ALSO AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON

NHTSA ODI 11258504

THE CAR RUNS REALLY ROUGH, LOUD NOISE, LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. IDLES ROUGH AND JUMPS WHEN PLACED IN GEAR OR ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE STOPS AND I UNABLE MOVE CAR EVEN IF THE GEAR SHIFT IS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE STOP WHEN IN MOTION.

NHTSA ODI 11258301

WHEN HITTING THE BREAKS SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC HAVING TO PUT IN PARK POSITION AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. SOMETIMES TAKE A MINUTE TO EVEN RESTART AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS LET ME SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE RIGHT AWAY. THIS IN RESULT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR END ME. I AM NOTICING THERE IS A RECALL CALLED R24 WHICH SEAMS TO BE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE.

ONCE I TRIED STARTING MY CAR I GOT NO KEY FOB DETECTED. WHEN I PLACED MY KEY FOB NEXT TO THE START BUTTON EVERYTHING WOULD POWER UP BUT WOULDN'T CRANK. THE AIR WOULD TURN ON THE NUETRAL WOULD FLASH ON THE GEARS SHAFT BUT STILL WOULDN'T CRANK. IT THEN WOULDN'T TURN OFF FROM RUN. THE CAR EVENTUALLY WOULDN'T SHOW ANY POWER SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY WHICH THEY REPLACE A YEAR PRIOR SO IT WOULDN'T BE NO COST. PULIS THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE. I CALLED AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS READY. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR I NOTICED THE AIR WASN'T TURNING ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WENT BACK AND SPOKE WITH A SALES PERSON WHOM SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY CAUSE THE MECHANICS WAS GONE. I BRUNG IT BACK KNOW THEY SAYING THE BODY AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND WANT TO CHARGE ME A FEE OF $700. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE HOW IT WENT FROM JUST A DEAD BATTERY TO KNOW MY AIR DON'T WORK AND THE CAR NEEDING TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS IS TOTAL UNFAIR TO ME AND I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHERS GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEMS. IF MY BATTERY WOULDN'T HAVE DIED AFTER ONLY A YEAR I WOULDN'T NEED MY CAR REPROGRAMMED AND HAVE TO SPEND ALMOST $700. LAST YEAR I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING THAT I HAD TO HAVE FIXED NOW THIS

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS IS ON THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAG WARNING IS OFF AND ON AND MOST OF THE TIME REMAIN ON THE SYSTEM DOES NOT INDICATE WHEN THE TIRES ARE UNDER THE PRESSURE . WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE PASSENGER LEFT DOOR,MAKING THE DOOR VERY HEAVY

NHTSA ODI 11257571

WHILE DRIVING OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND WILL DISPLAY A MESSAGE SAYING SHIFT TO PARK. THE GEAR KNOB WILL FLASH AND LOCK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MESSAGES WILL POP UP SAYING TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. ALSO WHILE ACCELERATING MY VEHICLE JUMPS. THERE WAS ONE TIME THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE TURNING. ALL OF MY DRIVING IS ON CITY STREETS AND VERY RARELY DO I DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY.

NHTSA ODI 11257141

MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS I START MY CAR LET IT RUN FOR 5 MINUTES. THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING IT CUTS OFF. TODAY IT CUT OFF 12-15 TIMES.

NHTSA ODI 11256957

CAR JERKS WHEN I PUSH ACCELERATOR. SOMETIMES THE CAR PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO POWER BACK ON AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DON FRANKLIN CAMPBELLSVILLE (LOCATED AT 200 N BYPASS RD, CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY, 42718, 877-702-2230) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY VOLTAGE CIRCUIT, CONTROL MODULE, AND FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SPEED SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC CODE: (TIPM MODULE U0001) APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

NHTSA ODI 11256589

AS I AM DRIVING THIS CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL BEFORE WE STARTING BUT OTHER TIMES IT WILL RESTART AND THEN I CONTINUE ON AND THIS MAY HAPPEN THREE TO FOUR TIMES ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING IT'S A HAZARD AND CAN LEAD TO A BAD ACCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11256687

THE RADIO BEGAN TO BUFFER AND WOULD REPEATEDLY CUT OFF AND ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE TOUCH SCREEN WOULD BE FROZEN DURING THIS TIME AND I COULD NOT OPERATE ANY CONTROLS. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED TO STALL DUE TO THE BUFFERING RADIO DRAINING THE BATTERY. A NEW RADIO IS ON BACK ORDER AND WON'T BE IN UNTIL OCTOBER FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE EARLY SUMMER. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS RADIO DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A PART IS ON BACK ORDER, THAT SHOULD LET CHRYSLER KNOW THERE IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH THIS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND SEEN VIDEOS ONLINE OF OTHERS DEMONSTRATING THE SAME ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.

NHTSA ODI 11256475

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. FIRST, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREETS, THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. SECOND DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE MY CAR WAS HAVING, KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, REPAIRED THE ISSUE.SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS BECAUSE MY AIRBAG ALERT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE, SOMEONE HAD KICKED THE WIRING LOOSE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT.THEN I HAD IT TOWED IN BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT .NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION CAME ON, I STILL ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK,BUT WHEN I WENT BACK OUT FOR LUNCH, IT WOULDN'T START. ROADSIDE JUMPSTARTED IT, AND IT STARTED. WENT BACK OUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START... HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS GETTING OUT, THE DASH LIT UP AS AND KEPT BEEPING AS IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING, SO I ACTUALLY HAD TO PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF , WEIRD, RIGHT! BUT THEN AS I'M WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR, IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AS IF I WAS TRYING TO REMOTE START IT. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY'RE DIAGNOSTIC EXPLANATION FOR MY CAR - MY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE DOESN'T WORK, AND I NEED A NEW BATTERY, AND YES MY DOOR PANEL HAD SOME FAULTY WIRES AND THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO PAY FOR. WHEN I TURN MY CAR TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. MY TIRES SLIDE WHEN IT'S RAINING, EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED NEW ONES. ALSO, MY CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN BEYOND FUNCTIONING. I DRIVE 17 MILES TO AND FROM WORK, AND I HAVE TO TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S FREEZING SOMETIMES. IT'S SAD TO KNOW I PURCHASED A LEMON AND THAT THEY CANNOT BE HONEST ABOUT THEIR RECALLS AND MAKING SURE MY SAFETY COMES BEFORE THEIR NEGLIGENCE., AND STOP TRYING TO COVERUP THEIR SCREWUPS IN MANUFACTURING A TOTAL LEMON.

NHTSA ODI 11255568

CHANGED THE BATTERY OUT AND MY ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL SHUT DOWN. FAN OR DEFROST WON'T WORK, HEAT OR AIR. DEALERSHIP SAID THE CLIMATE PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE COMPUTER IS FRIED.

NHTSA ODI 11255569

"TAKATA RECALL". TO BEGIN, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, I'D BE DRIVING AND IT WOULD HESITATE THEN TAKE OFF REALLTY HARD AS TO EVEN JERK. DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, ONE PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING WRONG, TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THEN ANOTHER ISSUE OCCURRED WITH THE DASH ILLUMINATING TELLING ME MY AIRBAGS ALERT DISPLAYING ON MY DASH (2X)TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THOUGH THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE KICKED THE WIRING LOOSE UNDER MY PASSENGER SEAT. NO ONE HAS EVER SAT IN MY BACK SEAT. NOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE AT FIRST THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DROVE MY CAR TO WORK, RETURNED TO MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, HAD ROADSIDE JUMPSTART IT, AND IT STARTED, WENT BACK OUT LATER AND IT WOULDN'T START, AS I TRIED TO GET OUT, MY DASH LIT UP AND I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON FOR IT TO TURN OFF, AS I'M WALKING AWAY, MY CAR LITERALLY TRIES TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AS IF I HIT MY REMOTE START. HAD IT TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS HAVING A FAULTY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE ( FIRST OFF, I DRIVE 17 MILES TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, MY CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN BEYOND FUNCTIONAL, I LITERALLY HAVE TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE IT GETS SO COLD IN MY CAR) AND THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR STALLED BECAUSE OF A BAD BATTERY, AND SAID THE BURNING I SMELLED ON THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS A FAULTY WIRE AND THATS WHY ITS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, WHICH THEY'RE REPAIRING, BUT CHARGING ME FOR IT. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I'M DRIVING AND TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK, ALSO MY BREAKS WILL LOCK UP ON ME IF IT'S RAINING AND I'LL SLIDE ( REALLY)?? THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING LESS THEN A LEMON.
