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

AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES DRIVING FUNCTION MOMENTARILY AND THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MOVE THE CAR FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN HEAVILY TO GET THE CAR TO TRAVEL AT A LOW SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THIS NORMALLY LAST FOR A WHILE THEN STOPS. A CODE READER SAYS 'HIGH SPEED CAN COMMUNICATION BUS' I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OR BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. ALSO WHEN IT IS A HOT DAY THE VEHICLE UNLOCKS IT'S OWN DOORS, STARTS ITSELF, POPS THE TRUNK ON IT'S OWN WHEN I AM NOWHERE AROUND AND THE KEY FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE MY CAR OR MY BELONGINGS TO BE STOLEN.

I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AT LOW MILEAGE ONCE AT 58,600 MILES I'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT IN THIS SHORT FREQUENCY OF TIME. I'M HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 TO REPLACE A THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS ALREADY REPLACE BY CHRYSLER. AN INVESTIGATION INTO FAULTY CHRYSLER PARTS NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND A RECALL ISSUED.

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF ANY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. THE TYPE OF GAS DOES NOT PREVENT THE SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE ISSUE IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY 100% OF THE TIME. IT'S HAPPENED AFTER I'VE PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND REENTERED THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AGAIN THIS IS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK. TODAY, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLED. I"M VERY AFRAID. I'M USING TODAY'S DATE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

ON 9/16/18, VEHICLE DIED AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT STARTED, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY TROUBLE SHOOTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. THEY FOUND A SERVICES BULLETIN ABOUT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND REPLACED WIRING HARNESS. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS I NOTICED MY VEHICLE FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. AS TIME WENT ON, I REALIZED IT WASN'T A SLIPPING, BUT A HARD SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LOOSE POWER UPON ACCELERATION TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, BUT AT TIMES IT SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND DIE WHILE IN HEAVY HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC. ON 10/11/2018 WHILE HAVING MY VEHICLE OIL CHANGED, I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM WHAT I WAS FEELING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN FACT NOT SHIFTING OR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I OBTAINED A QUOTE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED MIGHT HELP, BUT OFTEN TIMES FLUSHING CAN CAUSE SYMPTOMS TO WORSEN. I OPTED TO NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AT THAT TIME AND PLANNED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. IT IS NOW THE THE 3RD WEEK IN DECEMBER AND JUST THIS WEEK THE HARD SHIFTING AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC HAS WORSENED SIGNIFICANTLY. I PHONED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TODAY AND SPOKE WITH MY SERVICE ADVISOR TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. I AM TO CALL BACK ON WEDNESDAY 12/26 TO RESERVE A COURTESY VEHICLE AND SCHEDULE APPT. TO DROP MY VEHICLE OFF ON 12/27/2018

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. DEALER SAYS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD COST $2,900, BUT THAT CHRYSLER ALSO CAN DO AND "OVERLAY" (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS) FOR $165 PER SEAT THAT MIGHT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY, BUT THE ONLY GUARANTEED FIX IS THE $2,900 OPTION. OBVIOUSLY THE $2,900 OPTION IS COST PROHIBITIVE SO AFTER WE WENT WITH THE $165 OPTION, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.
