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

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND NOT MOVE, AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON REPEATEDLY. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT TWICE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGE ME AND SWEAR IT'S FIXED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED AND I GET NO ONE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE SITUATION IS HORRIFYING AND UNSAFE. I DECIDE TO PLACE A REVIEW SEEING I'M GETTING NOWHERE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I JUST NEED THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 5-10 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SUSPENSION BROKE FOLDING SIDEWAYS AND CAUSING THE CAR TO BE PULLER LEFT INTO A PARKED CAR WAITING TO MAKE A TURN. FORTUNATELY IT BROKE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR HAD JUST EXITED A 60 MPH HIGHWAY. THE BODY SHOP STATED THAT CHRYSLER MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE WEAKNESS SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART IT SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER BUILT (SEE PHOTO).

RANDOMLY IF I HIT A BUMP MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. NOW FOR A 2015 200 LIMITED WHY AM I NEEDING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STARTER ASSEMBLY AND NOW TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIR SHUTTER GRILLE. THE VEHICLE HEADLAMPS ARE EXTREMELY POOR. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE SEE ON ALL HIGHWAYS, SIDE STREETS ETC. NOW THE TRACTION STABILIZERS LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS BACKING IN TO A PARKING SPACE AS WELL AS MY BRAKES JUST STARTED MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE OUT NO WHERE AS DRIVING ON THE STREET. THERE NO REASON WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A RECALL ON MULTIPLE VEHICLE ISSUES AS MOST PEOPLE ARE STATING. WHY ISN'T THERE A NUMBER I CAN CALL TO FILE A COMPLIANT WITH ALL THE VEHICLE ISSUES I'VE EXPERIENCED? THIS JUST CRAZY THEN TO HAVE TO COME OUTTA $1,300.00 FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS IS CRAZY! WHY DOES THIS VEHICLE STALL WHEN THE OIL IS LOW SHAMEFUL FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND AND BARELY START BACK! TIRES SUCKS OUTSIDE MIRRORS ALWAYS HAVE TO ADJUST THIS BRAND IS GARBAGE!! PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING.. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE VEHICLE ISSUES. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND IS STALLING THIS IS EMBARRASSING. ON TOP OF HAVING TO PAY A NOTE THAT RIDICULOUS. I WANT TO BE COMPENSATED IN THE AMOUNT OF THE VEHICLE REPAIRS.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF AT NIGHT, MY DASH BACKLIGHTING REMAINS ON 4 HOURS IF NOT INDEFINITELY. ALSO, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY GO FROM A NORMAL READING TO OVERHEATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IT WILL REMAIN OVERHEATING ONLY ON THE PANEL FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. THE CAR HAS NO OTHER INDICATIONS THAT IT IS OVERHEATING. THERE IS NO SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE. THE HEAT CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY. THERE IS NO VISIBLE STEAM OR OTHER INDICATION THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY DOES OVERHEAT. IT APPEARS TO BE A ELECTRICAL ANOMALY. LASTLY, THE TOP HALF OF MY REAR WINDOW DEFROST IS NO LONGER WORKING. MY CAR HAS 48000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE ITS WHOLE LIFE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR SHIFTS VERY HARD AND HAS MADE GRINDING NOISES. NOT ONLY THAT BUT EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT IT, IT SHIFTS LIKE A RUBBER BAND BEING PULLED BACK AND MAKES YOU LUNGE FORWARD. I BELIEVE I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES NOW AND WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY HAD A SERVICE REP RIDE WITH ME TO SEE WHAT I WAS FEELING. HE PERSONALLY SAID THAT IT WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND SO THEY KEPT IT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY INFORMED ME THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT RE-PROGRAMMED IT. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT SHIFTED WORSE THAN BEFORE. I THEN CALLED AND COMPLAINED AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL, ON MY WAY BACK HOME IT WAS CONSISTENTLY SHIFTING ROUGH. I FINALLY JUST PULLED OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN. AFTER DOING SO IT SHIFTED SMOOTHER BUT WORSE THAN IT DID BEFORE. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH SET ON CRUISE WHEN I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION AND IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE! I WAS GOING FROM A HIGHWAY TO A SPEED LIMIT CHANGE AND COULD NOT GET IT. LUCKILY I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AND SHIFTED IT INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS ABLE TO DISENGAGE IT AFTER THAT.

I'M SCARED BECAUSE I'VE SEEN AIRBAG RECALLS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. MY CAR ALSO SEEMS TO BE JERKING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT JERKS SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015. THE JERKING SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I CAN PROVIDE INFO THAT MY AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM WAS FIXED TWICE.

WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN PARK THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL, THEN FORCES THE CAR TO BE SET IN PARK. AT THIS POINT THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED AND JUST SHOWS THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR ALSO STRUGGLES TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR ALMOST DAILY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SAME CHRYSLER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST TIME MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, THE SECOND TIME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE, 3-5 IT WAS AN UPDATE NOW I'M BACK TO THE MODULE ACTING UP. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT JUST CAME ON AGAIN YESTERDAY, I WAKE UP TODAY AND THE LIGHT IS GONE AND OF COURSE CHRYSLER TELLS ME THE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A CODE BEING PRESENT. I'VE LOST SO MANY DAYS OF WORK WITH THIS CAR IT'S RIDICULOUS, AND SINCE THE CAR HOLDS NO VALUE I'M STUCK WITH NEGATIVE EQUITY!!! PLEASE HELP
