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

THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK EVEN THOUGH THE KEY FOB IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 1 HOUR (SOMETIMES MORE, SOMETIMES LESS) TO GET THE CAR CRANKED. THE CAR STARTS AT RANDOM...NO SPECIAL TECHNIQUE CAN BE USED TO GET THIS CAR TO CRANK AS IT SHOULD. THE KEY FOB WORKS FOR LOCKING, UNLOCKING DOORS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT WORK TO START IGNITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB, HAD THE CAR'S BATTERY TESTED (IT'S IN GOOD WORKING ORDER), TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE TWICE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW IN UPPER 90 DEGREE WEATHER IN FLORIDA. THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILE/STATIONARY. THE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED AT HOME, WORK, GROCERY STORE, RESTAURANT. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR SKIPS WHILE IN MOTION. IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING GETS HUNG UP AND THEN RELEASES. THIS IS UNSAFE AND FRUSTRATING. THIS CAR IS CRAP!
