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

WHEN COMING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN TO ZERO, THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AS IT DOWNSHIFTS, GIVING IT A FEELING OF JOLTING FORWARD FOR SHORT AND SUDDEN BURSTS WITH EVERY DOWNSHIFT. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGER IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE STOPPING DISTANCE COULD BE INCREASED DUE TO THE JOLTING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. NOT ONLY THAT, IT COULD BE CAUSING EARLIER WEAR AND TEAR ON BRAKING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION IT'S SELF. ALSO, WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT CAN SOMETIMES SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, BEING VERY OBVIOUS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS YOU CAN SEE IT SHAKING, AS WELL AS FEEL IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL, ALL SHAKING STOPS. AUTOMATIC 9-SPEED. 34,XXX MILES

WHEN ENGINE IS COLD IT STALLS REPEATEDLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN, STOP, TURN A CORNER OR ACCELERATE. CAR IS FINE WHEN IT IS HOT BUT I CAN'T ALWAYS LET IT WARM UP FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING. THIS MORNING WAS THE WORST WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY SUBDIVISION AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAVING TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED.

"COLD START" MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR A DEVICE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. "SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING" I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS REPLACED AND THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. "COLD START" THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE MORNINGS, THE CAR STARTS FINE: I'LL SIT AND LET IT WARM FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. WHEN I DRIVE OUT THE CARPORT PARKING MAKE A LEFT, THEN MAKING A RIGHT THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIME'S LAST MONTH. SAME ISSUE THIS MONTH, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES THIS MONTH. I WARM THE CAR AND THEN PROCEED TO DRIVE, SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY , BEFORE IT WOULD START RIGHT UP, NOW IT'S HAVING A DELAYED STARTING ISSUE AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO START. SAME ROUTINE AS TO WARMING UP MY CAR, I MADE A RIGHT ONTO THE STREET AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A DIP, CAR SHUT OFF, 3 ATTEMPTS TO START IT UP. THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN AT THE STOP SIGH BEFORE HEADING INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS NOW TAKING AT MOST 3 TIMES TO ATTEMPT BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AND NOW THE NEEDLES IN THE CAR ON THE DASH BOARD ROLL OVER FROM THE 0 AND BACK. IT ALSO HAS A DELAY WHEN TRYING TO EXHILARATE.

I NOTIFIED THE DODGE RECALL CENTER A MONTH AGO ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ENGINE STALLS AS WELL AS PROBLEM CODES. THIS AFFECTED DRIVING AND PREVENTED REGISTRATION PER SMOG CHECK. I WAS MAKING A ALRIGHT TURN ON EL DORADO AND CLEVELAND STREET LAST THURSDAY, 3/21/2019 AND THE CAR LOCKED UP OR CUT OFF AND SLID INTO A GUARD RAIL AND CURB DAMAGING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE BODY AND WAS UNFORGIVABLE. IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED NOW BUT THE FCA INVESTIGATOR INFORMED ME THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE UNTIL I SIGNED AND RETURNED THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT. UPON CALLING A MONTH AGO I PERFORMED A VIN SEARCH AND REALIZED THAT THERE WERE A FEW ELECTRICAL RECALL INCIDENTS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY WHICH WERE NEVER DISCLOSED WITH ME. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE DEALER EDITED THE DOCUMENTS TO SHOW A CLEAN HISTORY WHEN PRINTING MY PAPERWORK WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED OR COMPENSATED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER DOCUMENTATION.
