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

WHILE EXCELLERATING THE CAR WILL HESITATE. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK VERY HARD, OTHER TIMES THE CAR ACTS LIKE ITS STUCK IN BETWEEN GEARS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. WHEN I AM STOPPED AND GO TO TAKE OFF IT WILL ALMOST STOP AND THEM JUMP FORWARD REAL FAST. OTHER TIMES IT JUST JERKS A FEW TIMES AND TAKES OFF. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN A FEW TIMES. THIS STOPPED ONCE AN UPDATE WAS DONE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF. NOW IT STAYS ON. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THE SCAN TOOL WILL NOT READ ANY CODES. THE RADIO, TOUCH SCREEN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. I HAD AN ALERT POP UP SAYING THE ENGINE TEMP HOT AND SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE. MY BASIC WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN GEARS. MOST RECENTLY ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED L, WHILE PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THE TACHOMETER WILL INCREASE BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. IF THE DRIVER WAS TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF A VEHICLE COMING TWORDS THEM THEY WOULD BE HELPLESS AND THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ALL DRIVERS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO AN APPROVED FCA MECHANIC, AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, OR THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED A REPROGRAMMING. I HAVE HAD THIS SERVICE DONE NOW 7 TIMES AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHIFT IT INTO PARK TO START GOING AGAIN. HAPPENS RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES THE DASH WILL SAY AWD SYSTEM NEEDS SERVIC. WEVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. CONCERNED ABOUT DIVERS SAFETY! WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST YEAR (2018) AND HAVE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER. PRETTY SURE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TRADED IT IN FOR THIS REASON.

ON SATURDAY 29/9/2019 I WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK FROM FREMONT, CA TO SAN JOSE, CA AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO PRESS THE PUSH START SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO START,. ONCE IT DID START WHEN I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER IT STARTED SHAKING AND TURNED OFF. I HAD TO LET IT IDLE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WARMED UP. I MADE IT AROUND THE BLOCK ABOUT A QUARTER MILE BEFORE I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I MANAGED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND PULL OVER. IT CONTINUED TO STALL UNTIL I GOT BACK HOME. SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN SHAKING WHEN ON IDLE AND IT JERKS BETWEEN GEARS. WHILE ON THE 880 FREEWAY THE CAR WILL DECELERATE DURING PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SLOW LANES TO AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED. I'M TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS.

THE CAR STALLS ON MY WIFE EVERY DAY. SHE SITTING AT LIGHT OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC. YOU CAN BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING IT CUTS OFF. I AM NOW THE ONLY CHRYSLER OWNER THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT, OR MAYBE SOMEONE DIEING DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CALLING SO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I SAW SOMETHING ON GOOGLE AND SAID THERE IS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALER SHIP THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR US TO GET A RECALL ON THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200'S ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM. THIS STARTED HAPPEN BACK IN OCTOBER 2016.

THE CAR HAS SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED LAST YEAR IN MARCH 2018. IT HAD ISSUES W/JERKING BETWEEN GEARS AND "HOPPING", BUT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY (TWICE IN 15 MINS). DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO FIX. BUT, ITS BACK TO SAME PROBLEM. IT SHUT OFF TUESDAY WHILE OUT OF TOWN AT A HOTEL WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO A 5 LANE ROAD. SUPPOSEDLY FIXED, AND THEN SHUT OFF ON INTERSTATE 695 AROUND BALTIMORE LAST NIGHT WHILE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC OVER. SHUTTING OFF WITH -0- WARNING WHILE TRAVELING ON BUSY INTERSTATES IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING. PER RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THIS CAR, NOT SURE WHY NHTSA HAS NOT RECALLED IT YET.

I HAVE HAD MY THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. RECENTLY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I MOVED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT IS LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER BECAUSE THE CLOCK WAS NO LONGER SET TO THE CORRECT TIME. THAT WAS ON MONDAY 1/28/2019. TODAY AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WITHOUT WARNING AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR LOOKED AT FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST DECIDES TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION I CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILLED THIS FORM OUT..

TAKATA RECALL.. I WENT TO GALENA TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY'VE TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY SERVICE PARK BRAKE COMES ON AND SO DOES THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION, IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM BORDERLINE WANTING TO GO FORTH WITH A LAWSUIT BECAUSE I FEAR MY LIFE IS IN DANGER WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR. BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HAVE THREE JOBS AND I'M A FULL TIME STUDENT SO I NEED TRANSPORTATION THAT'S RELIABLE AND I FEEL LIKE WITH THIS CAR IT'S [XXX] FAR FROM IT.
