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

I honestly believe this has to do with me being discriminated by people even emergency dispatch and police from the city of Inglewood , this is not the first time my car gets tampered with, but to start I already had felt something was off with the vehicle because I was parked and it accelerated all of a sudden last night of 03/24/26 then today on 03/25/26 i was on the freeway on my way to work then I felt something wasnt how the last time I drove it then it accelerated all of sudden and some setting on my car where changed so I returned home I didn’t want to risk my life or anybody else’s so i took pictures of the miles 114199 and how the cars is in case someone tries to take it and cause and incident & tries to cause and organized crime so I can get into trouble

While driving at approximately 60 MPH on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power, stalled, and entered "limp mode," shifting into neutral or a low gear unexpectedly. This failure caused a rapid deceleration in high-speed traffic, effectively disabling the vehicle and creating an immediate safety hazard and risk of collision. The engine stalled completely, requiring the vehicle to be coasted to the emergency shoulder. After a key cycle, the vehicle restarted but the check engine light remained illuminated. Independent diagnostic scanning retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) U0018 (Medium Speed CAN Communication Bus Short) and P0894 (Transmission Component Slipping). These specific codes and symptoms (intermittent electrical short causing stall/shift-to-neutral) are identical to the safety defects addressed in NHTSA Recall 15V-470 (FCA Recall R24 - Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector) and NHTSA 16V-529 (FCA Recall S55 - Transaxle Wiring Harness). Although records indicate Recall R24 was marked as "completed" on this vehicle in July 2015, the specific safety defect has recurred, presenting the exact same failure mode. The Authorized Dealer was contacted regarding the recurrence of this safety defect but refused to perform a no-charge inspection, citing an expired repair warranty. The Manufacturer (FCA US LLC) was also contacted to report the recurring safety failure but refused to open a case or authorize a diagnostic inspection, despite the life-threatening nature of the defect. The component and vehicle are available for inspection. The failure has not been resolved.

Any time I am coming to a stop from 40/45 mph the car would accelerate although I am breaking! This is not safe. It happens randomly while driving I could be in traffic and it will accelerate soon as I put my foot on the break.

With cruise control on going down hill the cruise control will cause the RPM's to race and my 16 year old has the push hard on his brakes to get it to release. This could end up causing him to crash. Apparently it is an ongoing issue with this make and model. Please help. Thank you.

I have had my 2015 Chrysler 200 for about a year now and ever since I have had it. it has acted weird. Evetime I am driving down a hill at a slow pace, i loose power as if my car just switched to Neutral. It also jerks a lot when I am stopped on a hill going up and I start to go, then it will jerk like its delayed in the gears. I am very concerned for my safety. I have seen other recalls similar to this and I am hoping we can get this one on a recall as well. I have not had my car inspected yet because I cant afford it.

My car is not shifting correctly after the recent recall for a software update. My engine light came on the very next day. The problem happens mostly on the highway as I try to accelerate. My car runs between 3500-4500 RPMs on the highway unless I am going downhill. I have to keep letting off the gas in order for the car to shift. I am not entering the highway at a safe speed because my car will not go. I am afraid this is going to cause a wreck. I am not sure if this is along the same problem, but my remote start stopped working correctly at the same time. I can start it with the remote, but it will only stay on for about 10 seconds, this is also NOT due to being low on gas. I called the dealer about this issue but they want to charge $150 to even look at the car.

The car would accelerate downhill with cruise control on. It would shift abrupt at any moment

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the front passenger’s side air bag warning light would remain illuminated and would turn off and on without a passenger being in the seat. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the electrical wiring, but the failure reoccurred. Also, while attempting to accelerate from a stationary position, the accelerator pedal needed to be depressed almost to the floor before the vehicle responded. Occasionally, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and the vehicle would suddenly lurch forward. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.

Cruise Control will randomly accelerate or decrease speed. Transmission won’t shift properly run high rpms then jump and eventually shift. Air bag constantly is pulling messages. Electrical and engine stalls.

While driving, my car will accelerate when depressing the brake. If cruise control is set to say 60 mph, the car will continue to accelerate well after the desired speed has been reached. When pressing the brake to disengage cruise control, the car will still try to accelerate for about 10 seconds, even while depressing the brake. I'm not sure if that is related to this, or if it is a separate issue, but my car will also stall out when coming to a stop or slowing down, especially if braking hard. When the engine stalls, power steering and braking are also lost. My car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections, on a busy highway coming to a red light or slowing down because of a hazard in front of me, and at stop signs. I also check my oil regularly, and do routine oil changes. When I check the oil, and when I have my oil changed, the oil level is almost ALWAYS low, and has even been completely empty a couple times. I've confirmed that there is no leaking under the car. Sometimes I smell burnt oil coming from my car. I fill the oil up, and less than a month, and the oil is almost gone. More worrisome to me, is the fact that even though the oil was completely empty, my oil light never came on. So it was by luck that I checked the oil and noticed that it was empty because I wouldn't have otherwise known. My check engine light will come on from time to time, and I have it checked for the codes each time. The following are the codes that have shown up every single time: P2172; U1424; P106A

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2020, I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN SUDDENLY AND MY GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE MUCH AND IT WOULDN'T STOP PROPERLY. SOME LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH BOARD. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP A FEW DAYS LATER. THE MECHANIC HOOKED MY CAR TO A MACHINE AND NOTHING WAS REALLY SHOWING. HE DID SOMETHING TO RESET MY DASHBOARD ALERTS AND SAID THAT IF IT CONTINUED TO BRING IT BACK. IT DID CONTINUE, SO HE ORDERED NEW COILS FOR MY CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 FOR REPAIR. THE MECHANIC RECHECKED MY CAR AND HE FOUND METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL THAT HE DRAINED FROM MY TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THAT IS NOT NORMAL FOR REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR.

WE TURNED ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND WE WERE IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES DUE TO SOMEONE CUTTING US OFF, THEN WHEN WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT SHUT OFF AND SAID SHIFT TO PARK WHILE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR BEHIND US ALMOST CRASHED INTO US AND HAD TO SWERVE AWAY FROM US. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER OUR VEHICLE, ALL WE COULD DO IS TRY TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON, TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, WE TRIED TO AND THE CAR WASN?T FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE D FOR THE DRIVE POSITION WAS BLINKING. WE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND HOPE THAT WE DIDN?T GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND US DUE TO HAVING TO CONTROL OVER OUR VEHICLE. WE PUSHED THE BUTTON TO THE IGNITION/START TO START IT AND IT WOULDN?T START IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD NO POWER AT ALL AND THEN AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, WHILE EXPOSED AND DEFENSELESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY, IT FINALLY STARTED AND WE GOT GOING AGAIN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, IT?S THE FIRST TIME IT HAS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. THIS CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE DUE TO THAT, MY FAMILY AT RISK JUST GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE. IT IS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WE LOOKED IT UP, IT FALLS UNDER CHRYSLER RECALL S55. *TR

WHEN AT A STOP SIGN THE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES RAPIDLY. TURN IT IN A DIFFERENT GEAR IT STOPS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT HAS A DELAY; RPM WILL JUMP AND NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU RELEASE THE GAS AND THE CARS RPM DROPS AND CAR JERKS YOU INTO NEXT GEAR. WITH THIS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR A FATALITY DUE TO THE JERKING MOTION AND UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES
