CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON MULTIPLE RANDOM TIMES. FIRST HAPPENED TO MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I ASSUMED HE MAYBE DID SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND. SINCE THEN, IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES IN TOWN IN 25MPH SPEED LIMITS ZONES.AROUND THE SAME TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND JUST HAD TO WAIT TILL THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE SHOP THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSUMED THAT THE NEW RECALL FIX WOULD HOPEFULLY AND MAYBE FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES, AND THREE OF THE TIMES HAPPENED IN THE SAME DAY. THE FIRST STALL OUT WAS IN TOWN AGAIN AND RIGHT AWAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SHOP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AGAIN AND THERE SOONEST AVAILABILITY WAS ABOUT A MONTH AWAY SO I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THAT. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THAT IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND 2 OF THOSE TIMES WERE WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WINDOW AND THIS TIME IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH AT THE STALLING TIMES THAT THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR STILL, THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT THEMSELVES FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM ONCE AND THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE SO THEY WERE FORCED TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE IS THE STALLING PROBLEM HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES& IN DIFFERENT SPEED ZONE AREAS. VERY SCARY THOUGHT TO HAVE WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, TRUCKS, SEMI'S, ETC. BEHIND YOU AND NOT KNOWING IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO STALL OR NOT THAT DAY OR VERY MUCH TO THAT MINUTE YOU ARE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED AND WE WERE JUST COASTING FOR A FEW BLOCKS. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. SOME MESSAGES POPPED UP AND AFTERWARDS, WHEN WE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. GOOD THING WE WERE NOT GOING FAST OR IN TRAFFIC OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE, AGAIN, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOO SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNING ON. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN ON BUT JUST COULDN'T. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING, RADIO, WINDOWS, ETC.

CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND BECOME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. SOME TIMES IT ALLOWS YOU TO PULL OVER AND PUT INTO PARK THEN DRIVE, MOST TIMES THE ENTIRE CAR EXCEPT THE RADIO, BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND HAVE TO PULL POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO RESET CAR. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES NOW WITH SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS AS PROBLEM IS NOT EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN STRUCK BY CARS FROM BEHIND OR ON SIDE OF ROAD.

MY VEHICLE HAS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS EXPERIENCED A JERK IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WITH AND FORCE FROM MYSELF. THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT AT SUCH A RAPID AND UNCOMFORTABLE SPEED THAT THE CAR JERKS AT EVER SHIFT. I WAS BRAKING FOR A STOPLIGHT LAST WEEK WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTED AND JERKED CAUSING ACCELERATION THAT ALMOST MADE ME REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ALREADY STOPPED. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE. THEY THEN REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND AM NOW STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CHRYSLER RELEASES A RECALL THAT PROVIDES A COMPUTER UPDATE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I EMAILED CORPORATE BUT THEY REFUSE TO RESPOND TO ME AND NO ONE WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE. I HONESTLY JUST DON'T WANT TO KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER'S' NEGLIGENCE.

I WAS PICKING UP MY BROTHER FROM THE STORE AND MY CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF. I THEN RESTARTED IT WHICH TOOK 3 TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OVER AND STARTED. I THEN MADE IT ABOUT 15 MIN DOWN THE FREEWAY TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AND LEFT MY BROTHER IN THE RUNNING CAR ONLY TO RETURN TO THE CAR BEING OFF. I TRIED OVER 6 TIMES TO RESTART IT AND IT CHOKED THEN TOLD ME ENGINE WARMING TRY AGAIN LATER AND SHUT OFF. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO THEN TOWED IT BACK. AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING IT THEY DECIDED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND GAVE IT BACK, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK THEY FIXED IT BECAUSE ON 6/27/15 I HAD YET ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL THAT CAUSE MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE TO QUIT ON ME AND CONTINUE TO REBOOT ITSELF AND FREEZE ALL WHILE SHOWING THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WHILE I WAS CLEARLY GOING FORWARD FOR MILES.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON I-64 IN VA, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCLINE AFTER LEAVING THE TUNNEL AND CROSSING THE BRIDGE , EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FELT AS IF I WAS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. IT STARTED TO DO IT CONSTANTLY AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTING FLASHING ALL SORTS OF ERROR MESSAGES AND COMPLETELY LOCKING UP. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE GRASS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. UNFORTUNATELY THE BUTT OF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL PARTLY IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR DECIDED TO RESTART TO PULL THE REST OF THE WAY OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAITED SOME MORE TIME TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN, AT LEAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED LOCKING UP AGAIN. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD JUST SHAKE AND STAY IN RUN, SEVERAL TIMES IT DID THIS AND WOULDN'T LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT OFF AND WAIT FOR TOWING TO COME. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I HOPE CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CHOOSES TO SHUT OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO....UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 45 MPH, THE TRANMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE AND DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHILE THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SLOW TO A STOP. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MESSAGES APPEARED. IT REQUIRED ME TO STOP MY CAR, RESTART IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IT ALSO GETS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR (LIMP HOME MODE) WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN YOU STOP AND IT PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCELERATING AT THE RATE OF TRAFFIC. IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE UP HILLS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT, AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10 MONTHS NOW, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS THAT HAS HAPPENED. WHAT I AM MOST CONCERN WITH IS, IF WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT MAY BE. I ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, AS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SOMEONE WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR TO HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT, WHICH I KNOW CAN BE AVOIDED IF IT IS TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE FOR US IS, THE CAR DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR UNTIL 30 APR 15, DUE TO THEIR OVERLOAD OF VEHICLES THAT THEY SEE ON A DAILY BASIS, WHICH NOW PUTS US AT EVEN MORE OF A RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I BOTH WORK, AND NEED BOTH CARS, BUT I WILL SACRIFICE MISSING WORK TO ENSURE SHE MAKES IT TO HER JOB SAFELY. AGAIN, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. IN MID AUGUST 2014 ON INTERSTATE 110. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF, AS IF IT HAD STALLED. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND IT JERKED WILDLY AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT EVENTUALLY STARTED ONLY TO SHUT OFF AGAIN ON INTERSTATE 105W. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN LANE 1 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE PANEL INSTRUCTED ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE DRIVER PANEL DISPLAYED ?SERVICE TRANSMISSION? AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE ?RELEARNED? AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION OF SEVERAL CORRUPTED CODES THAT WERE FIXED. TWO DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THEY DETERMINED THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS IS VERY ROUGH. FURTHERMORE THE GEAR SHIFTING SEEMS DELAYED, AS THE GEARS ARE OFTEN VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THE DRIVING SPEED. FINALLY I NOTICE THAT AS I BRAKE OR LOWER MY SPEED THE GEARS DO NOT ADJUSTING ACCORDINGLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS MOSTLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BRAKE TO A SPEED LOWER THAN ABOUT 25MPH. IN THESE INSTANCES, UNLESS I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DROP BELOW 3RD GEAR. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND RECEIVED A ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW, ABOUT 6,000 MILES LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SHIFTING ISSUES. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER FOUR MONTHS AGO. IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD SOME UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCES. AT FIRST IT WAS LITTLE THINGS, SUCH AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR, OR THE KEYFOB DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY. ALTHOUGH THOSE WERE NAGGING THEY WERE EASILY DEALT WITH. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET DOING ABOUT 40MPH, AND THE CARS DISPLAY STARTED THROWING ERROR MESSAGES, SUCH AS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT HAD STALLED AND I HAD NO POWER TO THE GAS, BRAKE OR STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THE LIKELIHOOD OF ME GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY HIGH, BEING THAT THIS WAS IN THE EVENING. SO, I AM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH A CAR THAT STILL HAS ACCESSORY POWER, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK, OR DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT FINE, BUT AGAIN COULDN'T SHIFT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE CAR SHIFTED INTO GEAR, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT, ALBEIT VERY SLOWLY SINCE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV PAST 2000 RPMS. I CHECKED FOR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE. THERE WAS NOT A FIX ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. SO, NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ROUGHLY 2200 MILES THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. IF/WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I HOPE I'M NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD ACTUALLY AS THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT IS VERY HIGH. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAVE NEVER HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME, SO I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. *TR

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 TO 70 MPH, MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY STALL, AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY ELECTRONIC DASH DISPLAY WOULD BEGIN BLINKING, AND I HAVE NO POWER TO THE PEDAL AT ALL. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS IN FACT ABLE TO PULL OF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY KIND OF CAR ACCIDENT, HOWEVER THE SECOND INCIDENT NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AT THE TIME WERE QUITE HEAVY. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED DUE TO MY SUDDEN DECELERATION. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. AS OF TODAY (3 DAYS IN THE SHOP) I HAVE NOT HEARD A REASON AS TO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ROUGHLY 4 MONTHS, AND THIS STALLING HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD. *TR

AFTER HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING AND RECEIVING A JUMPSTART, I WAS BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLES ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILST I WAS ON A CROWDED ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, NOR ENOUGH MOTION TO GET TO PARKING LOT. I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN A RIGHT HAND TURN LANE. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RESTART. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART AND I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO REQUEST A TOW, AND POLICE ASSISTANCE TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF MY VEHICLE AND TO KEEP TRAFFIC AWAY TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING, AND THAT THE DAY FOLLOWING THIS INCIDENT THE CAR STARTED FINE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SINCE THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT IS A FRESH REDESIGN THAT NOT ALL OF THE MAJOR ISSUES WERE CAUGHT BEFORE DEPLOYING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED, AND HOW IT WAS FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200S, MY CAR HAS STALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, EACH AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ON TWO OF THE INCIDENTS, THE CAR SHUT OFF, I WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. ONCE IN PARK I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND PROCEED WITH DRIVING. ON JULY 8, 2014 THE CAR STALLED AND TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK HOWEVER THE CONTROL KNOB (CENTER CONSOLE ON THESE CARS) TO DO SO WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN HOWEVER ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL ACTIVE WITHIN THE CAR. SEVERAL SERVICE MESSAGES CYCLED THROUGH THE DISPLAY ON THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER (NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM). ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY. THEREFORE MY CAR REMAINED ON THE LOT, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NIGHT (APPROXIMATELY 12-15 HOURS) BEFORE IT WAS LOOKED AT. IN THAT TIME THE BATTERY HAD DIED, ONCE IT WAS JUMPED IT STARTED AND IT WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED INTO A SERVICE BAY. AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE SERVICE DEPT I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THEY "ROAD TESTED" THE CAR 102 MILES AS INSTRUCTED BY CHRYSLER HOWEVER NO CODES WERE ACTIVE IN REGARDS TO THE INCIDENT ON JULY 8, 2014. THEY HAVE NOW RETURNED MY CAR TO ME WITHOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED. THE FINAL VERDICT FROM THE DEALER WAS, WE CANNOT RECREATE THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN THEREFORE WE WILL BE RETURNING THE CAR TO YOU. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD IT 3 WEEKS. *TR
