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

THIS CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY, ALMOST KILLING MYSELF AND PASSENGERS, IT NOW SAYS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR WILL NOT GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. EVERY TIME I DO I GET A LAME REASON WHY THE CAR IS ACTING UP BUT IT IS NEVER FIXED. I AM CURRENTLY USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFORM OTHERS OF HOW CHYRSLER HANDLES THEIR CUSTOMER BUSI9. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TO MAKE SURE NO ONE EVER BUYS A CAR FROM CHYRSLER. ALSO WE ARE SUING CHYRSLER AT THIS MOMENT SO I CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH. BUT PLEASE DO NOT BUY CHRYSLER THEY ARE ALL TRASH!

WHILE IN MOTION, THE CHRYSLER 200 WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY CAUSING NEAR DEATH ACCIDENTS. ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WILL CAUSE LIGHTS TO FLICKER AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED

THE CAR STALLS AND ALSO ACCERLATES WHEN IT SHOULDNT WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I KNOW AT LEAST 8 OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES MYSELF WHO HAS RECENTLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF THEIR CAR STALLING AND NOW THEIR AIR AND MY AIR IS NOT WORKING. IN THIS TX HEAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN. IN MY INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREET. IT WAS WORKING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STALLED ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE OUT OF NOWHERE WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR AWHILE OBSERVED THE CAR TO SEE IF I COULD SEE ANYTHING VISABLY WRONG.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CAR. A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN HIT THE BRAKES. SO THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT THE VEHICLE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER CAME OFF AND THE STEEL SUPPORT BAR AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I DID SUSTAIN INJURIES! THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT IN 2017 AND A WEEK LATER THE CAR STARTED DOWNSHIFTING AS I WAS DRIVING ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD STALL AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD S6ARTED THE RECALL PROCESS ON THE TRANSMISSION!! I WAS INFURIATED THAT I WAS NOT TOLD. AFTER RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I COULDNT USE IT WHILE THE RECALL STUFF WAS BEING DONE. AND ME BRINGING IT BACK AND FORTH 3 TIMES WITH THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTING! YET AGAIN THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED IN TRAFFIC AND WAS FORCED TO GO OFF THE ROAD. FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. A YEAR LATER AND MY CAR STILL DOES NOT SWITCH GEARS RIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF!!! I AM NOW GONNA SUE THE HELL OUT OF CHRYSLER!!

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR ALMOST SHUT OFF ON ME AND I PULLED OVER SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AND IT WAS FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND SAYS SERVICE PARK BRAKE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I LOOKED ON THE THREADS ONLINE TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING SINCE THEY FIRST PURCHASED THEIR VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR TRY TO SHUT OFF ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR 30 MINUTES OR MORE AND I TURN IT OFF, IT WILL NOT RESTART FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES OR MORE. IT HAD LEFT ME STRANDED AS WELL AS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK JEAPORDIZING MY JOB AND MY SAFETY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I CANNOT TRADE IT IN BECAUSE THE BLUE BOOK VALUE IS LESS THAN WHAT I OWE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS VEHICLE BY BUYING IT BACK AT THE PRICE I PAID. SOMETIMES THE DASH SAYS 'ENGINE WARMING UP, PLEASE WAIT.'
