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

WHILE TURNING ONTO THE ON RAMP OF THE FREEWAY ONE MORNING, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO QUICKLY GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE LANES. THE CAR PROMPTED SHIFT TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. AFTER SOME TIME APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES TRYING TO START, THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP. THE LIGHTS WERE DIMMER AND POWER WAS WEAK. DROVE ABOUT A MILE (AT 32MPH AS THE MAX SPEED THE CAR WOULD ALLOW) AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN PROMPTING TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUE THIS TIME. MADE IT TO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE, 3 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE IT STOPPED THE SECOND TIME, AND IT STOPPED AGAIN.

PURCHASED 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AT 4:35 PM. GOT ON HWY 25 MILES WEST GOING HOME I-70 WEST TO BONNER SPRINGS, THE CAR STARTED HESITATING, I NEARLY GOT THROWN OFF HIGHWAY BY 3 SEMIS- ADND 2 TRUCKS AND CARS BEHIND ME, LET OFF HORRIBLE BURNING ODOR, AND NEARLY THREW MY BODY OUT OF THE CAR, BUT I HANDLED WELL. I GOT OFF I-70 TO STATE AVENUE- RUNS PARALLEL DIRECTIONS. THEN, WHEN I CAME TO A NUMBER OF LIGHTS- THE ENGINE REVVED UP, LIKE IT WAS JERKING MOTIONS. I PAID IT SOME ATTENTION, BUT WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I THOUGHT I WAS ON A RACE TRACK ENGINES REVVED UP, BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO A RACE TRACK. SO, I CAME HOME- SETTLED NOW DOWN TO2:445 IN THE MORNING VERY SHAKEN UP. SO, I NOTIFIED THE TELEVISIONS NEWS STATIONS AND THE KANSAS CITY STAR NEWSPAPER AS WE SPEAK. I DECIDED TO READ THE "CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS, AND I AM SURE YOU CAN PULL THEM TOO. I JUST SEARCHED FOR CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS- AND I READ SO MANY "EXACT" STORIES- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I CANNOT SLEEP. THIS IS THE WORST FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD. READ THE REVIEWS. HELP PEOPLE LIVE, AND GET RID OF THESE CARS. JUST THINK, IT HAS GREAT LEG ROOM- I HAD PLANS FOR MY NIECES- TO GO TO TEXAS, WE CANNOT DIE AT ONCE. I AM NOT READY TO BE BURIED- AT LEAST LET ME TEACH A FEW MORE MONTHS AND YEARS. HAD IT BEEN SNOWING, I WOULD BE DEAD. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UP SIDE DOWN, SINCE 4PM. IT IS NOT JUST ME. DON;T LET THESE PEOPLE KILL KIDS,MY NIECES COULD HAVE DIED THIS WEEKEND. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PICK THEM UP, BUT I AM SO SHAKEN,I AM ICE COLD ALL OVER. I PRAY TO GOD- YOU WILL CEASE THESE VEHICLES AT ONCE. PLEASE DON;T LET ANY MORE PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS- AND PLEASE SHOW THESE ON FACE THE NATION ON CHANNEL 5 CBS STATIONS. THANK-GOD- MY NIECES ARE ALIVE. I AM SO GLAD TO BE HOME. I PLAN TO GET A POLICE ESCORT TO THE DEALERSHIP 9/12/2017. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING HONESTY. GOD BLESS US.

TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE CAR ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE "VEHICLE AT TOO HIGH SPEED" FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD AS IT ASKED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME! AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY DEADLY, WOULD HAVE OCCURRED! I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD, AND THIS CAR IS PUTTING US BOTH IN DANGER. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A DEATH MACHINE, I PAID FOR A WORKING VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. THIS HITS ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF NEEDING TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE, AS I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 20 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE AFFECTED/INJURED/KILLED FOR THIS TO GET FIXED?

IVE BEEN HAVNG PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED. THE CAR SLIPS GEARS AND TAKES OFF AND STAGGER WHILE ON HIGHWAY. IVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BY CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T MATCH WITH SOFTWARE AND CHRYSLER IS LOOKING TO FIX ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. THECAR FEELS REALLY UNSAFE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WAY ABOVE PRICE THAT WAS OFFERED TO OTHERS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE CONTRACT IS NO LONGER VALID AS THE CAR DEALERSHIP REQUESTED A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO PAY OFF MY TRADE IN. I LATER FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT WAS NEARLY $300 LESS THAN THE REQUESTED AMOUNT. I WAS TOLD THAT ANY EXCESS FUND WILL BE RELEASED TO ME. ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE REFUND.
