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

I BOUGHT A CAR AT AN AUCTION THAT HAS TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. I WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH WANTED ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. AFTER COMPLAINING TO REPORT THEM ONE DEALER PRETENDED TO DO THE REPAIR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.OBVIOUSLY THE RECALLS WERE NEVER DONE AND SINCE THEY PUT ON REPORT THEY WERE DONE THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING ME TO STALL.. ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED PROPERLY SO I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CRASHING AND INJURING MYSELF OR GOD FORBID DIE.

THE CAR WILL SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING OR JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO IT STALLED OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT NOTICE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ENGINE WAS OFF AND ITS TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START IT. I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT JUST RAPIDLY SHUTTERS AND TRIES TO START FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN STOPS AND DINGS AT ME.

NHTSA ODI 11311642

EVERY TIME I NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE, I'LL HAVE TO START MY CAR FOR A HOUR AHEAD OF TIME SO IT CAN SAFELY DRIVE WITHOUT DYING. IF I TAKE OFF FROM WHATEVER LOCATION AND NOT START IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN IT WILL CONTINUE DYING ON ME AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES.

I'M GETTING A ERROR CODE ON MY CAR P2172 WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT MY VIN ISN'T COMING UP

NHTSA ODI 11310681

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS. IT WAS BOUGHT USED FROM DRIVETIME IN DULUTH GEORGIA. I WAS TOLD BY NATIONAL TIRE AND BATTERY THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO TOUCH WHEN I TOOK IT THERE FOR REPAIR, THEY RECOMMEND THAT I TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER, AT THAT TIME IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL BUT WOULD START BACK UP SO I WENT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND THEY CAR STALLED AGAIN AND GOT REALLY SLUGGISH I WAS ABLE TO MAKE OVER TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN BUFORD GEORGIA. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A TIRE SENSOR AFTER THEY PUT THE TIRE SENSOR ON IT STALLED OUT ON THEM AGAIN SO THEY THEN SAID IT NEEDED A ABS MODULAR ONCE THEY INSTALLED THE ABS MODULAR TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT STALLED ON THEM AGAIN THEN THEY SAID THEY FOUND SOME LOOSE WIRES NEAR THE TRANSMISSION THE FIXED AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. DRIVETIME THEN SENT A TOW TRUCK OVER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER IN BUFORD NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE CAR NEEDS A WIRING HARNESS AT THIS POINT TO ME THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. I PICK MY GRANDKIDS UP DAILY AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE CARS STALLS AND WE GET HIT. OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WRONG AND THEY ARE SPECULATING. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 4 MONTH ON FEBRUARY 12TH 2020 AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND CHRYSLER CAN'T EVEN REPAIR A CHRYSLER... THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. DRIVETIME IS PAYING FOR EVERYTHING SO FAR EXCEPT OUR FUNERALS GOD FORBID SOMETHING AWFUL SHOULD HAPPEN. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY 78 IN SNELLVILLE GEORGIA AND THEY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STALLED OUT. THIS IS UNSAFE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN RAMMED THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATING, SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN, GOING DOWNHILL, IN THE INTERSECTION IT HAS SHUT DOWN BUT THAT TIME IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP

ON A RETURN TRIP BACK HOME FROM STORE LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE CAR STALLED AFTER TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET GOING ONLY A FEW MPH,ENGINE CUT OFF,RADIO WAS STILL ON. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT, "SHIFT TO P" COMES UP ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. TURN IT OFF, TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT STRUGGLED TO TURN OVER A FEW TIMES BEFORE FINALLY COMING BACK ON. STALLED AGAIN PULLING INTO MY PARKING LOT. NEXT DAY I TRIED TO GO TO THE STORE AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED PULLING INTO STORE AND PULLING INTO PARKING LOT.... THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK, AFTER AN OIL CHANGE IT STOPPED, BUT THIS TIME I AM NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND OIL LEVEL IS FINE.

NHTSA ODI 11306580

MY CAR HAS ISSUES WITH STALLING. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY AND ITS WHEN I GO TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR MAKE A TURN. IT SLOWS DOWN THEN LOOSES POWER. IT EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP BUT THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND ALSO IN THE MODDLE OF TRAFFIC.. HATE RO SAY BUT DOES SOMEBODY HAVE RO LOOSE THERE LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'VE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE WITH 1 MILLION CARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY CAR BUT OF THERE WASNT.. IM STUCK WHAT DO I DO???

NHTSA ODI 11302807

THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH CUTTING OFF WITH OUT PROPER LIGHT WARNINGS. IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKING IT TO BE SEEN BUT NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND PEOPLE OWNING THESE TYPES OF CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY STARTER OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE SO ITS SOMETHING ELSE. IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND MOST DEFFINATELY WHILE MAKING TURNS.

THE OTHER DAY I JUST DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF, WHICH WAS VERY SCARY , I PUSH THE START BUTTON A FEW TIMES AND IT STARTS AND DRIVES FINE, TIL TODAY I'M TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND IT SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND I HAD TIL SIT FOR A COUPLE CAUSE IT WOULDN'T START, FINALLY AFTER PUSHING THE START BUTTON IT STARTED AND THEN A FEW HOURS LATER I STOP AT THE STORE AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN ONCE AGAIN AS I'M PARKING MY CAR. THIS IS A SERVER HAZARDOUS DRIVING THIS CAR

I BOUGHT A 2015 CHRYSLER 200C ABOUT 2YEARS AGO. A FEW DAYS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT MY ENGINE HAVE A DEFECT IN IT WHICH CAUSED THE CYLINDER HEADS TO MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THIS IS COMMON WITH THE V6 ENGINES IN THESE VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER PUT A EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2011 MODELS THRU 2014. MY 2015 ALTHOUGH ITHAS THE SAME ENGINE DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT. EVERYONE I CALL SAY MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I'M PAYING FOR THAT'S PRACTICALLY NO GOOD

NHTSA ODI 11300996

ENGINE TENDS TO STALL OUT WHEN MAKING SHARP RIGHT TURNS. HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW, LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A VACANT PARKING LOT TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. ONCE STOPPED AND IN PARK, ENGINE HESITATES TO START THEN DRIVES AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. NO ENGINE CODES, WARNING LIGHTS, OR AURAS TO GIVE SIGHT TO A POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11300276

MY CAR RECENTLY JUST STARTED TO JUST TURN OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AT AUTOZONE WITH A 2 YEAR WARRANTY AND I'M SURE THE BATTERY ISN'T THE ISSUE. IN 2016 I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED AT MY OWN COST BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. I WAS SO ANGRY BECAUSE I HAD JUST LEASED THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR JUST TURNS OFF. I DO THE OIL CHANGES EVERY 4 MONTHA

NHTSA ODI 11300009

AFTER STARTING CAR AND DRIVING FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET, BATTERY LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THEN ENGINE WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THE MESSAGE "SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK (P)" WILL ALSO APPEAR ON THE DASH. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK AND TURNING OFF, THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE BATTERY LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ANY OTHER TIME AND THE BATTERY WAS RECENTLY CHANGED.

TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON RAILROAD TRACKS. NO LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. IT TOOK MULTIPLE TRIES BEFORE THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. NO CODES COME UP WHEN CHECKING FOR A PROBLEM SO MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN MY CAR ON, I RECEIVE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS ENGINE WARMING PLEASE WAIT TO START. I WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT'S TURNS ON. WHILE DRIVING TODAY IT TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND WHEN I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START IT I WOULD GET THE SAME MESSAGE. CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL.

MY CAR FREQUENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IT'LL STALL. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS BACK UP AND RUNS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENS WITH NO LIGHTS WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED IT WAS NO FOUND ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE ENGINE, POWER TRAIN ETC. IT'S IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL MAINTAINED. I'M NOT SURE OF THE ISSUE I DID RESEARCH THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE COMPLAINTS IT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR DOES

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TO THE CURRENT DATE. THE CAR ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND WITH THE CAR. NOW THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I'M STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM AND A PAYMENT FOR THIS DEATH TRAP. THIS PAST WEEK THE CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THE "D" LIGHT WILL BLINK. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND THEN TRY TO RESTART. IT STRUGGLES TO RESTART, AND THEN WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND LEFT MY FAMILY AND I COASTING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO SLA. ON BRAKES AND DRIVE UP ON THE SIDEWALK. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY CAR IS NOT LISTED UNDER A RECALL, BUT IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS CHRYSLER 200'S THAT ARE BEING RECALLED. TRADING THIS CAR WILL ONLY SET UP ANOTHER BUYER BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS NOT DETECTABLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER CAUTION LIGHT COMES ON.

NHTSA ODI 11290881

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE ENGINE HAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF STOPPING ME IN TRAFFIC. ONCE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN, TWICE I WAS STUCK IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS EACH TIME. EVERYTIME THE LIGHTS FOR THE GEARS WAS FLASHING BACK N FORTH BETWEEN THE GEARS.. I TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED AWHILE, EVERY-TIME I BECAME A SITTING DUCK. I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE KILLED IN THIS CAR. HOPEFULLY THIS CAR IS A RECALL. BELOW I LISTED THE MOST RECENT DATE.

AS I AM DRIVING THE PARKWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH MY CAR WITH OUT ANY WARNING STARTED WITH FLASHING RED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED GOING FROM HOT TO COLD AND THE ENGINE SYMBOL FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC PASSING ME. WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES AS I STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL THE DASH FLASHED STEERING WILL BE DISABLED, THEN AUTOBRADING WITH BE DISABLED. THE RADIO AT THIS POINT SHUT OFF AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. THERE WAS LITTLE ACCELERATION WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS TO KEEP WITH THE PACE OF THE OTHER VEHICLES ATTEMPTING TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT MY HAZARDOUS FLASHERS ON BUT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A DASH BOARD SCREEN I WAS SURE THEY WERE WORKING EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO BE OFF. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WENT ABOUT 3 FEET AND STOPPED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK ONCE I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE TOW COMPANY TO PULL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND THEY HAD TO USE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
