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

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH WITH ALERTS SAYING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED, THE SHIFT PARK GEAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AND PLEASE PUT VEHICLE IN PARK BEFORE YOU COME TO A ROLLING STOP. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I THEN HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE TO FORCE IT INTO PARK. AFTER I SAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT ALLOWED ME TO MOVE FURTHER DOWN THE HIGHWAY BUT DID IT AGAIN IN AN VERY BAD PART OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO REPEAT THE STEPS TURN OFF THE VEHICLE ,PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON THEN, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE ALERTS WENT AWAY BUT NOT THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE THE MAIN ROADS TO GET TO CARMAX WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS THAT IT HAS TO BE SHIPPED TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS TO BE REWIRED ENTIRELY THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS NO ISSUES SO IMAGINE MY FEAR. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AS I WAS TALKING TO MY CO-WORKER SHE HAD THE SAME CAR SHE SAID THIS WAS A RECALL THAT HER VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING A YEAR AGO AND SHE HAD TO GET IT FIXED.

IN THE MORNING I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP AND THEN DIED. WOULDN'T START WITH START BUTTON. AFTER PLACING THE REMOTE NEXT TO START BUTTON AND WAITING A BIT I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AFTER A FEW TRIES. FINISHED PARKING. AFTER WORK, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS WAITING TO TURN AND DO UTURN AND THE CAR ONCE MORE DIED. NOT SURE IF I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED OR INCHING FORWARD WHILE WAITING FOR INCOMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. TRIED STARTING IT UP AGAIN THE SAME WAYS AS IN MORNING. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. AFTER STANDING 5 MINUTES IN A TURNING LANE, I GOT IT TO START. FINISHED THE DRIVE HOME WORRYING. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, TIME FROM TIME, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD FLICKER AND THEN GO COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY COME BACK ON. THAT IS SPEED, RPM, GAS LEVEL, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, AND ALL OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS. CAUSES DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO RESULTS IN ME BEING UNABLE TO SEE SPEED THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE BRAKING, AND TURNS EVERYTHING OFF. IT ALSO 'LOCKS' THE BRAKE, AND TAKES MINUTES TO RELEASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF, PUSH TO START WON'T WORK, AND ENGINE WILL NOT START. THE CAR CUTS OFF AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, AND MAKES DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF MORE FREQUENTLY, AND FOR LONGER MOMENTS AT A TIME. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ON STREET'S BUT HAS OCCURRED IN TWO DRIVE-THRUS. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR SHUT OFF MID-TURN. AGAIN THIS MAKES DRIVING INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND IS FRUSTRATING AND INCONVENIENT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION SO DRIVING HAS BECOME A RISK.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. THERE ARE NO INDICATORS THAT THERES ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT JUST TAKES ABOUT SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET A CRANK IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO COME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT TO SEE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS. NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY OR STARTER. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED WITH AN OIL CHANGE AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THEN FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS UPON MY INITIAL START FOR THE DAY MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE RESIDENTIAL ROAD LESS THEN A MILE IN IT STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE LOCKS THE CAR UP SO IM UNABLE TO STIR THE CAR AND TELLS ME TO PART THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER THAT IM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THEN IT'LL FINALLY CRANK BACK UP AFTER PUTTING THE KEY FLOB NEXT TO THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS THANK GOD I WASNT ON THE HIGHWAY NOR WHERE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON MY CAR AND ITS NOT INDICATING ANY FOR MINE IN PARTICULAR BUT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2015 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS. MY CAR ISNT UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS OVER 100 THOUSAND MILES.

VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER REPAIR CONTINUES TO HAVE FRONT-PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT. EVEN AFTER OIL LEVELS ARE CHANGED AND MAINTAINED, CABIN AND AIR FILTERS CHANGED, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL EVEN AFTER SERVICING (BOTH PAID AND UNDER WARRANTY) CHRYSLER HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUES THAT HARBOR MY VEHICLE AND OFFER NO SOLUTION. TEMP/ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE CAME ON DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. STALLING USUALLY OCCURS ON CITY AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS. BOTH IN MOTION.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 20 TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC ISSUES AND TODAY I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND MY CSR CSMR OUT OF PSRK SND HIT A POLL

AIR BAG LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO A ELECTRICAL LIGHT COMES ON IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SAYING THE ENGINE IT TO HOT BUT I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY IT COMES ON ALMOST RIGHT AFTER STARTING CAR

NHTSA ODI 11386033

RADIO FREEZES UP FOR HOURS ON END MEANING YOU MAY HAVE TO TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING INSTEAD OF USING HANDS FREE. BLUETOOTH STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY AND RADIO VOLUME RANDOMLY GETS SUPER LOUD OR PRACTICALLY SILENT. MAKES A WEIRD HIGH PITCHED SKIPPING SOUND. HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WHEN PARKED AND WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

NHTSA ODI 11384007

MY AIR BAG LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON. SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED EVERY TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED. MY RADIO USED TO SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND REBOOT LIKE IF IM STARTING THE CAR.. NOW IT DOESN'T TURN ON AT ALL. IT JUST GLITCHES. SINCE I GOT THE CAR WHEN I GO TO SWITCH GEARS THE CAR WILL SWITCH GEARS HARD. LIKE IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

NHTSA ODI 11383263

CAR NOT WANTING TO TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO START WITHOUT JUMPING. HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED BOTH ARE FINE AND STARTER WAS REPLACED NO MORE THAN MAYBE A YEAR AGO. THIS IS DAILY AND IF SITS THROUGHOUT DAY. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING INTERIOR TURN ON AND IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OVER JUST NOT ENOUGH POWER. ALSO REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB. STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN LAST MONTH.

I WAS SITTING AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT WHEN MY CAR STALLED . WHEN I CRANKED IT BACK UP NONE OF THE TOUCH SCREEN WORKS AND THE ODOMETER FLASHING STARTED SO CAR HAS NO BACKUP CAMERA, NO COMPASS, NO CLIMATE CONTROL, NO RADIO, NO TRACTION CONTROL, NO HILL ASSIST, DEFROST IS BARELY WORKING.

NHTSA ODI 11378455

MY AIR QUIT WORKING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO SEVERAL PLACES AND CANNOT FIND WHATS WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE BOUGHT A CONTROL MODULER FOR THE BLOWING AIR WHICH I WAS DIRECTED TO BUY BY A PART DEALERSHIP AND STILL NOTHING. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND ALSO IT IS WINTER AND NO HOT AIR STILL AFTER BUYING A THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR PIECE PLUS THE PRICE OF THE MECHANIC FOR PUTTING IT IN.

NHTSA ODI 11378549

I DRIVE TO WORK FOR HALF HOUR. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN 30-35MPH FOR NO APPARENT REASON, ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN CITY, THE WHOLE CAR HARD SHIFTS AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CAN BOTH HEAR AND FEEL IT. THEY TEST IT AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ANY TRANSMISSION,ETC. THEY REFUSE TO FIX EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR WARMS UP FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVEN ANYWHERE AND THE TEMPERATURE DOESN'T AFFECT IT, IT DIVVIES BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER NOW FOR 3 YEARS!! NOW, IT POPS UP AWD SERVICE AND THEY SAY IT SHOULD HAVE NO REASON TO BE DISPLAYING IT. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND AN ISSUE!

NHTSA ODI 11377302

MY CAR KEEPS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED, BUT WHAT EVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING ITS NOT WORKING. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND AS CAUSED DANGER TO MY TYPE 1 DIABETIC HUSBAND AND MYSELF. THE CAR IS NOW IN MY DRIVE WAY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS SINCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEBRUARY 2017, AND THEY NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR JERKS AND STOPS AND STARTS WHEN IT WANT TO. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE TAKING IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES FOR A DIAGNOSIS, AND CHRYSLER CANT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY BUILT THE CAR. I NEED HELP. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS PIECE OF A CAR. EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS CAR SAYS THEY CAR DOES THE SAME THING. SO I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAR HAS STOP AND WILL NOT START AT ALL.

NHTSA ODI 11377156

THE CAR STALLS OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD AND THE CAR JUST LOOSES POWER AND THEN STALLS OUT. AFTER THE CAR HAS STALLED IT DOES NOT WANT TO START AGAIN UNLESS IT IS JUMP STARTED OR BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND THE RECONNECTED.

VEHICLE LITERALLY SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING SIGNS BUT RESTARTS AGAIN PERFECTLY EXCEPT FOR YOU HAVE TO REPROGRAM RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL . THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHICH WAS 2 DAYS AGO I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED GREEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I PRESSED THE GAS AND WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR JUST CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP ENGINE ELECTRICAL EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. THEN TODAY IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU ORDERING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, NO WARNING SIGN IT KIND OF CLUNKS IT JERKS AND THEN IT SAYS IF SOMEBODY WERE TO HAVE JUST SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE THIRD TIME I WAS COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, COMING UP TO A LIGHT SLIGHTLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND IT COMPLETELY CLUNK CUT OFF. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NOBODY HAS REAR-ENDED ME IN ANY OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I AM VERY DEPENDENT ON MY CAR HOWEVER I AM NOW AVOIDING USING IT. I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM BY READING ARTICLES AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM AT ONE TIME FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11376047

ON NOVEMBER 21, 2020, THE 7TH DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM CAR MAX, I DROVE MY CAR FROM TX TO AR. NEARLY HALFWAY TO AR THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND WENT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT HAS IT DURING THE DAY TIME. ONCE I ARRIVED IN AR, THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER BUT THERE WERE NO ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DROVE TO THE STORE AND IN THE STORE PARKING LOT THE CAR QUIT ON ME AFTER THE LIGHTS FLICKERED SEVERAL TIMES!!! I AM LIVID! I HAVE A 5-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME! WHAT IF THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY? WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER FIXED THIS ISSUE? I'M JUST NOW READING ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH NUMEROUS CAR OWNERS!!! I DESIRE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY! IF SOMETHING WE'RE TO HAPPENED TO MY CHILD AND I WOULD THAT NOT BE HORRIBLE? THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT EXISTS AS THIS IS DANGEROUSSSSSSS!!! OUR LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT!

NHTSA ODI 11375772

MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD KEEP CUTTING OFF, IT KEEP SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING AND CAN'T TURN, STALLS WHEN PULLING OFF, AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TRAVEL ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND SCARED I MIGHT CUT OFF OR STALLED AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING. EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CAR IN MOTION AND I HAVE TO KEEP PROGRAMMING MY KEY TO MY CAR.

I WAS PULLING IN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON BY ITSELF

NHTSA ODI 11374074

MY CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL 6 TIMES WITHIN A 600 MILE RADIUS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TURN IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE I COULD PUT GEAR IN PART THEN SIT FOR 15-20MINS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN. WE DONE THIS 6 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION. THANK GOD IT WASN'T A LOT OF TRAFFIC. TOOK TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE I FOUND OUT SOME RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND WIRING. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED SO CHRYSLER WANT HONOR MY RECALL. I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSORS.

NHTSA ODI 11373949

THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERMANENTLY STAYS ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL JUST DIE AS YOU'RE DRIVING IT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IT COULD BE WHEN YOU'RE REVERSING IT DOESN'T MATTER I JUST WANTS TO DIE AND THEN NOT START UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER RESET OFTEN IN ORDER FOR OUR VEHICLE TO DRIVE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

NHTSA ODI 11373561

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200S WHICH I GOT IN JANUARY 2016. I HAD GONE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT A TRADE IN I HAD AT THE MOMENT. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SEE VALUE OF IT ANOTHER CAR 'HIT IT' THEREFORE THE SALESMAN FELT IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP. I GOT A CHRYSLER 200S W/ NO DOWN PAYMENT OR ANYTHING. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, RIGHT? NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND I WENT TO CHECK ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE FOR ANY RECALLS. MY SURPRISE WAS THAT THERE WAS MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT A TOWING TRUCK TO COME AND GET IT. 2 DAYS LATER THEY SAID THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND MAGICALLY THE RECALLS ISSUE WAS MENTIONED AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE BATTERY AFTER THEM LOANING ME A PACIFICA FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF MY CAR BEING AT THE SHOP. TO MY SURPRISE THE PACIFICA DIDN'T EVEN LAST A DAY BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND IT STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY. THE YEAR AFTER SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND THEY HAD TO KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. NOVEMBER 2019 COMES AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. NOVEMBER 2020, AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED SO I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY COULDN'T BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND THEY SAY IT'LL BE FIXED BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS GOING. MY CAR HASN'T EVEN REACHED 100K MILES, IT'S BARELY GOING TO HIT 61K MILES AND I'M STILL STUCK WITH A 11K NOTE ON THE CAR THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK.
