2015 Chrysler 200 complaints

FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND QUITS PULLING ALMOST BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS.

WHILE BACKING INTO A DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCREECH/GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT STOP AS IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BACK INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY MAKE THIS SOUND AND FAIL TO STOP NORMALLY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE BRAKES ARE PERFORMING NORMALLY AND BESIDES THE SCREECH THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

CAR TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING , HAPPEN NOW 3X. (7/21,7/30 ,8/2)

THE ENGINE SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL STATE WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" INDICATOR CAME ON FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THEN THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON (P, N, D, S ). IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON AND STILL ALL SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IT STAYED IN THIS CONDITION SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PULLED THE LEAD OFF THE BATTERY TO RESET. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING COMPLETELY THERE WERE 2 OR 3 INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD BIGGER PROBLEMS.

LEAVING FOR WORK IN THE AM, STARTED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200, REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MADE IT TO THE CORNER OF MY CUL DE SAC AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE WORDS "TRANS," AND "EMERGENCY PARK." THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS LOCKED UP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE HAD A HARD TIME WITH IT BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AND THE WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. I COULDN'T MOVE THIS CAR IF I WANTED TO. I COULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK, LOCK THE DOORS, USE FLASHERS, NOTHING... ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WAS OUT OF COMMISSION. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, SAID THEY "PERFORMED MANY SOFTWARE UPGRADES" AND "TEST DROVE IT EXTENSIVELY" AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. 20 MINUTES AFTER I PICKED IT UP, I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 3-LANE HIGHWAY, WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR'S POWER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ALSO. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I CAN REPLACE THE CAR OR THEY WILL BUY IT BACK. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME, BARELY LUCKY THE SECOND TIME, WHO KNOWS WHAT SITUATION I MIGHT BE IN IF I AGREE TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? I CANNOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY

ON APRIL 9, 2015, WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR, WE SUFFERED A COMPLETE COMPUTER SHUTDOWN AT 55 MPH JUST FOUR MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR ALMOST OFF THE ROAD BEFORE IT COASTED TO A STOP. DURING THIS SHUTDOWN I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR, USE THE BRAKES, USE THE GAS, OR PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER TUGGING THE SHIFTER NOB INTO PARK AND TRYING TO START THE CAR IT JUST MADE TERRIBLE CLICKING SOUNDS. THE SERVICE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AS THE ENGINE WAS MAKING THESE LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND WAS FORCED TO LEAVE IT WHERE IT SAT FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS FROM THE TIME NEEDED TO GET THE PART AND HAVING TO WAIT FOR A RIDE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK MY CAR UP. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHIFT AT ODD TIMES AND IT STILL LUNGED WHEN PUT INTO PARK AND LIGHTS WOULD OCCASIONALLY FLASH ON DASHBOARD. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ON JULY 23, 2015 AT 1:15PM MY CAR ONCE AGAIN SUFFERED A TOTAL SHUTDOWN IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS ONE. THIS SITUATION WAS FAR MORE FRIGHTENING DUE TO MY SPEED AND LOCATION OF THE SHUTDOWN. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-26 IN NORTH CAROLINA. IF NOT FOR THE ALERT DRIVERS BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC INJURIES IF NOT DEATH DUE TO LOSING ALL SPEED AND STEERING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE.

I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL EFFECTING CERTAIN VIN#S IN THE MODEL YEAR 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LINE. THIS RECALL WAS FOR "CONTAMINATED, DISLODGED OR BROKEN PARKING PAWL OR PARK ROD (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V-090): ". WHEN I SEARCH BY MY VIN# I DO NOT SEE THAT MINE IS INCLUDED BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE UNTIL NOW, ON A WEEKLY BASIS I WILL PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT/DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD 1-3 FEET BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STOPS MOVING. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EITHER THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO INSPECT THIS CAR PROPERLY BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT OR THAT THAT THERE ARE MORE VIN#S THAT SHOULD BE EVALUATED FOR THE ISSUE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT THIS CAR DOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED, ALL OF THE GAUGES FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800.

ON 7/19/15 I WAS DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED CHRYSLER 200S WITH APPROXIMATELY 10300 MILES. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT 10MPH, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND COASTED TO A STOP WITH A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE FLASHING ON THE SCREEN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE, AND THE GEAR SELECTION WAS BLINKING IN DRIVE. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TCM MODULE AND RE-FLASHED THE SOFTWARE. ON 7/22/15 I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICKUP MY CAR. WHILE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS PULLING THE CAR AROUND, THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS STUCK IN REVERSE THIS TIME, UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE VALVE BODY AND PERFORMED A RE-LEARN. I PICKED THE CAR UP 7/23/15 AND WAS ASSURED EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/24/15 ON THE INTERSTATE (75MPH), THE CARS TRANSMISSION AGAIN FAILED, LEAVING ME WITH NO THROTTLE POWER ON THE INTERSTATE, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK. THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES AS THE FIRST INCIDENT WERE FLASHING ON THE CAR'S SCREEN. I COASTED THE CAR TO THE SITE OF THE INTERSTATE AND SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER 15 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS CAR IS GOING TO GET MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

THE TRANSMISSON LUNGES AND DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING.THIS DOES NOT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT DOES OCCUR. ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDDLE.AFTER I LET UP ON THE PEDDLE AND PUSHED IT AGAIN THERE WAS A RESPONSE. THE DELAY WAS LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE CARS BLOWING THEIR HORNS BEHIND ME. I FEAR THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL ANYTIME.

WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE AND FELT A JOLT. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OBSERVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY. THE PINCH BOLT WAS INSTALLED BUT THE HEAD OF THE BALL JOINT NEVER PASSED COMPLETELY THROUGH. WHEN IT CAME APART, IT CAME APART WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT JERKED THE AXEL OUT AND CAUSED SOME MINOR BODY DAMAGE. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLIPPED OUT AND TURNED. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS RESTING ON THE FENDER. AS STATED ON THE REPAIR INVOICE...."LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM KNUCKLE, DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE FULLY INSTALLED. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT LOWER ARM, KNUCKLE, AXEL, SPLASH SHIELD. RELEARN POWER STEERING AND FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT". WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A WEEK LONG VACATION AND HAD TO SPEND IT IN A DEALERSHIP AND ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR AGENCY. VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WHEN WE HAD TO LEAVE AND COME HOME. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CARE WHO SEEMED WILLING TO WORK WITH US. I ADVISED THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. WE HAD ONLY HAD IT 2 WEEKS. THIS WAS HER FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. SHE IS A FULL TIME NURSING STUDENT AND WORKS A FULL TIME JOB. WE ASKED THAT CHRYSLER JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH ONE OF EQUAL VALUE AND WAS TOLD BY THE BUYBACK DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WERE REFUSING TO DO THAT AND THAT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING AT A CHRYSLER DEALER IN MYRTLE BEACH SC. IT HAS BEEN THERE OVER A MONTH. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ASS

CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON MULTIPLE RANDOM TIMES. FIRST HAPPENED TO MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I ASSUMED HE MAYBE DID SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND. SINCE THEN, IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES IN TOWN IN 25MPH SPEED LIMITS ZONES.AROUND THE SAME TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND JUST HAD TO WAIT TILL THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE SHOP THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSUMED THAT THE NEW RECALL FIX WOULD HOPEFULLY AND MAYBE FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES, AND THREE OF THE TIMES HAPPENED IN THE SAME DAY. THE FIRST STALL OUT WAS IN TOWN AGAIN AND RIGHT AWAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SHOP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AGAIN AND THERE SOONEST AVAILABILITY WAS ABOUT A MONTH AWAY SO I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THAT. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THAT IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND 2 OF THOSE TIMES WERE WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WINDOW AND THIS TIME IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH AT THE STALLING TIMES THAT THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR STILL, THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT THEMSELVES FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM

2015 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND OTHER MECHANICAL/ TECHNICAL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY, THERE WAS A FAULTY TRANSFER OF POWER, AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE ENGINE REFUSED TO TURN OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS ADJUSTED AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THE FOLLOWING DAY, HE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER FOUR DAYS LATER WITH THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY AND INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE CRUISING, AND WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SEEMINGLY HESITATE ONLY TO ENGAGE AFTER A MOMENT OF UNCERTAINTY. *JB

WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED AND WE WERE JUST COASTING FOR A FEW BLOCKS. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. SOME MESSAGES POPPED UP AND AFTERWARDS, WHEN WE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. GOOD THING WE WERE NOT GOING FAST OR IN TRAFFIC OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE, AGAIN, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOO SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNING ON. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN ON BUT JUST COULDN'T. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING, RADIO, WINDOWS, ETC.

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING TELLING ME I HAD TO PARK THE CAR. ONCE I PARKED IT I COULD NOT GET IT TO START AGAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND RESET THE PCM TO GET IT TO START AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING TELLING ME I HAD TO PARK THE CAR. ONCE I PARKED FOR A LITTLE BIT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I WILL HAVE IT TOWED TODAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THE CAR.

1ST INCIDENT: JUNE 26TH CAR DIES IN DRIVEWAY. ENGINE IS RUNNING NO POWER TO WHEEL. HAVE IT FLAT BEDDED TO GREENWOOD CHRYSLER CORTLAND OHIO. THEY SAY IT WAS A BAD CONNECTION IN COMPUTER. REPLACE TWO CONNECTORS. GET CAR BACK ON 6/30/15. JULY 1ST, DRIVING CAR DOWN ROAD DOING 25 TO 30 MPH, LOOSE ALL POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. FLAT BED IT BACK TO DEALER. THIS TIME THE SAY THE ARE REPLACING WIRING HARNESS IS SHIFTER. GET CAR BACK ON JULY 11TH DRIVING BACK FROM DEALERSHIP LOOSE POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN AGAIN GOING OVER A RAIL CROSSING.

GET CAR BACK ON JULY 21ST AGAIN THEY SAID THEY REPLACED ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS. CAR LOSES POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN AGAIN. 17 MILES FROM DEALERSHIP RIGHT BEFORE CROSSING A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. IF I LET THIS CAR BACK ON THE ROAD SOME IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN IT. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A FULLY LOADED CAR WITH A 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I THINK IF YOU INVESTIGATE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING PROBLEMS.

CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND BECOME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. SOME TIMES IT ALLOWS YOU TO PULL OVER AND PUT INTO PARK THEN DRIVE, MOST TIMES THE ENTIRE CAR EXCEPT THE RADIO, BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND HAVE TO PULL POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO RESET CAR. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES NOW WITH SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS AS PROBLEM IS NOT EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN STRUCK BY CARS FROM BEHIND OR ON SIDE OF ROAD.

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE IT ABOUT 4 MILES AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THEIR REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME.

MY VEHICLE HAS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS EXPERIENCED A JERK IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WITH AND FORCE FROM MYSELF. THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT AT SUCH A RAPID AND UNCOMFORTABLE SPEED THAT THE CAR JERKS AT EVER SHIFT. I WAS BRAKING FOR A STOPLIGHT LAST WEEK WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTED AND JERKED CAUSING ACCELERATION THAT ALMOST MADE ME REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ALREADY STOPPED. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE. THEY THEN REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND AM NOW STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CHRYSLER RELEASES A RECALL THAT PROVIDES A COMPUTER UPDATE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I EMAILED CORPORATE BUT THEY REFUSE TO RESPOND TO ME AND NO ONE WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE. I HONESTLY JUST DON'T WANT TO KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER'S' NEGLIGENCE.

ENGINE STALL , WOULD NOT ALLOW TO SHIFT THE CAR GEARS. MY WIFE WAS SO SCARED AND FRUSTRATED AS WELL BECAUSE OF ONGOING TRAFFIC AND WITH OUR CHILDRENS IN THE CAR.

THE CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN DASH ERUPTED IN MULTIPLE FAILURE WARNINGS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST. PULLED OVER AND WAITED. DASH AND TRANSMISSION AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I DROVE SLOWLY HOME. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER ON 29TH AND THEY UPDATED SOFTWARE. HAD THIS EVENT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY I OFTEN USE I BELIEVE THE SUDDEN LOSS OF TRANSMISSION RESPONSE AND LOCKING UP IN FIRST GEAR WOULD HAVE CAUSED MY CAR TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

TODAY, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A WALMART PARKING LOT ON TO A BUSY ROAD WHERE CARS GO ABOUT 50-55MPH. I HAD MY 15 YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I STARTED TO PULL OUT INTO THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CAR WENT FROM DRIVING, TO FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED IN TO NEUTRAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARY SITUATIONS AS CARS WERE COMING AT ME, AND ALL I COULD DO IS COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, WITH JUST OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 6 WEEKS. MY HUSBAND IS A DISABLED MILITARY WAR VETERAN. WE HAD TO SAVE AND SAVE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR. WE NEEDED SOMETHING RELIABLE. WE HAVE TEENAGERS WHO ALSO DRIVE. NOW WE ARE ALL TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR; IT COULD BE DEADLY IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BUSY ROAD AND THE CAR DOES THIS AGAIN. I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN TONIGHT, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. I HATE THE FEELING THAT THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS; WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO HAPPEN WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR.

PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND ENGINE STALLED AND SHUT OFF SAID TO PUT IN PARK AND IT STRUGGLED TO TURN OVER, THEN DROVE DOWN THE ROAD AND STALLED AGAIN HAPPENED ABOUT 6-7 TIMES ALREADY ALSO HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES WITHIN 5 MINS

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON I-64 IN VA, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCLINE AFTER LEAVING THE TUNNEL AND CROSSING THE BRIDGE , EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FELT AS IF I WAS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. IT STARTED TO DO IT CONSTANTLY AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTING FLASHING ALL SORTS OF ERROR MESSAGES AND COMPLETELY LOCKING UP. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE GRASS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. UNFORTUNATELY THE BUTT OF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL PARTLY IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR DECIDED TO RESTART TO PULL THE REST OF THE WAY OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAITED SOME MORE TIME TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN, AT LEAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED LOCKING UP AGAIN. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD JUST SHAKE AND STAY IN RUN, SEVERAL TIMES IT DID THIS AND WOULDN'T LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT OFF AND WAIT FOR TOWING TO COME. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I HOPE CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CHOOSES TO SHUT OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO....UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF

FRIDAY: WHILE WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY VIBRATED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE INDICATED IT WAS STILL RUNNING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OFF. WAS UNABLE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY FOR A FEW MINUTES, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES CAR RESTARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. DEALER SAID TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF OVER THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY: DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR INDICATED IT WAS STILL ON AND RUNNING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OFF. WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND EVENTUALLY SHUT IT OFF. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS, SO UNABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHEN TOW ARRIVED. TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY HELD IT UNTIL FRIDAY. SAID THAT THE PINS IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER WERE LOOSE AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. FRIDAY: PICKED CAR UP FROM DEALER, WIFE DROVE IT LESS THAN 1 MILE AND IT STALLED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN IN AN INTERSECTION. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED. IS NOW BACK AT THE DEALER.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 9 MILES, IT DROVE HOME PERFECTLY. THE NEXT DAY I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS NOT ON AN INCLINE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE I LET OFF OF THE BRAKE AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHOT BACKWARDS BEFORE I COULD EVEN PRESS THE GAS. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES! I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME FLUKE BUT SURE ENOUGH ABOUT A WEEK LATER I STARTED NOTICING UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION DURING BRAKING AS WELL AS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW BUT NOT SURE IF I CAN HER THERE OR NOT AS I NOTICED A VERY LOUD SOUND TODAY WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES THAT NEED ADDRESSED AND FAST!

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND GOT HOME. WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS JUST CALLED AND THEY SAID I HAD A WIRE THAT WAS NOT CONNECTED RIGHT. I LOOKED ON LINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THESE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. UPSHIFTS 2 TO 3 ARE HARSH AND SOMETIMES SLAMS IN AFTER WAITING TOO LONG TO SHIFT. WORST, THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DOWNSHIFTING FROM 5 TO 4 (NO FOOT ON THE THROTTLE). THIS IS REPEATABLE CONSISTENTLY. SEVERAL TIMES NOW DURING QUICK STOPS (I.E. SOMEONE WALKS OUT ON THE ROAD) THE VEHICLE HAD A BURST OF ACCELERATION WHILE HARD BRAKING. DEALER ADVISES NOTHING THEY CAN DO - CHRYSLER REP TOLD THEM TO TELL CUSTOMERS "THIS IS NORMAL". UNFORTUNATELY THE UNEXPECTED BURST OF ACCELERATION IS NOT REPEATABLE WHEN NEEDED. VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAS GONE THROUGH 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. . THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT PAST SECOND GEAR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT DURING THE INCIDENT THE MESSAGE "FAULTY TRANSMISSION WAS DISPLAYED". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

I WAS DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE CAR JERKED THEN BOUNCED 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE SLOWED AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PSRK BUT THE D WAS FLASHING AS IF IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WARNING LIGHT WERE ALSO FLASHING. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AN DRIVE TO WORK. SINCE THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS.
