2015 Chrysler 200 complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON SATURDAY MORNING ON MARCH 5, 2015 ABOUT 7:30AM I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF I 285 AND CAMPBELLTON RD. AT THE CORNER OF CAMPBELLTON RD. AND BARGE RD. AND WAS TURNING ONTO BARGE RD. WHEN THE CAR JUST CUT OFF AND STOPPED. I AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER (EX-GA. STATE REP. MS. ROBERTA ABDUL-SALAAM) WAS ON OUR WAY TO PICK UP SOMEONE ELSE TO GO TO A CONFERENCE FOR THE DAY. WE ALMOST BOTH WENT OUT OF THE WIND SHIELD AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE ANOTHER TWO FEET. WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WE DECIDED TO GET OUT AND WAIT ON A BENCH FOR THE TOW TRUCK I CALLED THROUGH UCONNECT. [XXX] GOT PICKED UP AND I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER TRUCK ARRIVED WE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO LANDMARK. AFTER SECURING A LOAN-A-VEHICLE FOR THE DEALERSHIP I LEFT AROUND 2PM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY FOUND THAT IT HAD NO POWER AT WIRING FROM COIL F343 ASD CKT. TRACED BACK TO BLOWN F16 FUSE IN IPM. THERE ALSO WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 3/12/2015 AND PUT IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER (LANDMARK). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. ALL AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS UN-DRIVABLE AFTERWARDS. INSURANCE ADJUSTER AND REPAIR FACILITY INDICATED THAT THE LEFT FRONT STRUT HAD COME OUT OF IT'S HOUSING AND WAS LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS A RECALL FOR 21000 VEHICLES BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE...UPDATED 03-23-15 *BF....UPDATED 04/08/15 *BF UPDATED 10/15/2015*JS *TR UPDATED 9/28/2017*CN

1ST TIME: ON HIGHWAY AT 55MPH GOT AND ERROR ON DASH: SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEN PERFORMANCE SHIFTING NOT AVAILABLE 2ND TIME: AFTER JUST 4-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR HAD SAME ERRORS AS ABOVE. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, PRESSED GAS AND THERE WAS NO REVVING OF ENGINE (RPMS DID NOT MOVE). PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT SAID CAR IS NOT IN PARK, USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT." PUT BRAKE ON, THEN INTO D, THEN BRAKE OFF AND CAR WENT VERY SLOWLY AS IT WAS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. WENT ONTO HIGHWAY AND STILL STUCK IN 4TH FOR A FEW MILES (REVVING AT 4,000 RPMS AT ABOUT 60MPH). SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING ITSELF UP TO 5.5K WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION (LIKE CAR WAS NOT IN A GEAR). I PRESSED ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED, IT STAYED AT ABOUT 5.5K. I PUT CAR INTO N AND THE RPMS DROPPED TO ABOUT 1.5K, BUT CAR STILL NOT IN A GEAR SO IT WAS LOSING SPEED SO I MOVED TO BREAKDOWN LANE. PUT IT BACK INTO D AND IT AGAIN REVVED TO 5.5K, BUT STILL NO GEAR AND LOST SPEED. 3RD TIME: I WOULD TURN TO D AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE IT CLUNKED INTO GEAR. CAR THEN SHUDDERED A BIT AS I PULLED OUT AND THEN IT GAVE THE SAME ERRORS AS BEFORE: SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEN PERFORMANCE SHIFTING NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DASH. IT ALSO GOT STUCK IN 4TH GEAR AGAIN SO I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT ALSO REVVED THE ENGINE RANDOMLY. IN FACT, I ALMOST SMASHED INTO MY GARAGE BECAUSE AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY GARAGE THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD (IMAGINE IN A MANUAL CAR, REVV

AFTER ONLY OWNING MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 72 HOURS, AND DRIVING ABOUT 380 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO HAVE HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE. I NOTICED IT DOWNSHIFTING VERY HARD AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN AGAIN A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I GOT TO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT, MY CAR DOWNSHIFTED SO VIOLENTLY IT SLAMMED ME INTO MY SEAT BELT AND SCARED ME BADLY. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD SHIFTED IN PARK WHILE IT WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AWAY FORM THE LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT UP SHIFT, SO I HAD TO LIMP IT INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT AT 4K RPMS AT ABOUT 7 MPH. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR FINALLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO REVERSE, AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK ALLOWING ME TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHILE I WAS NOT REALLY INJURED BEHIND A SLIGHT SORENESS FROM THE SEAT BELT, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED INTO PARK, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL (APPROX 10-15 DEGREES) STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO PARK, PRESSED THE ENGINE START BUTTON TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT. AS I LIFTED MY WEIGHT OUT OF THE CAR, IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS, MY FOOT SLIPPED UNDER THE CAR BUT I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BREAKS WITH MY OTHER FOOT. THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING I DID WRONG, I PULLED THE CAR BACK UP AND REPEATED THE SAME STEPS AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN (THIS TIME WITH OUT MY FOOT). I WAS THEN THINKING, THIS IS A BRAND NEW 31K+ CAR - IT CANT BE DOING THIS SO I REPEATED A THIRD TIME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON PARK SELECTION ON MY RADIO AND TO BRING THE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY! ITS NOW IN THE DEALERS SHOP AS THEY ARE GETTING THE HEM AND HAW FROM CHRYSLER ON WHAT TO DO. I WANT THIS FIXED ASAP AS I AM LUCKY THE CAR DID NOT RUN OVER ME AND CRASH INTO THE CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE ENGINE IS WARMING PLEASE WAIT TO START WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE WITH THE ENGINE COIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH BURNING SMELLS. I TOOK MY CAR BACK NUMEROUS OF TIMES AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE BRAKING IN BUT ALL THIS TIME MY TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. IT TOOK 8000 MILES FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I GET MY CAR BACK WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION IN IT AND TWO DAYS LATER I HAVE ANOTHER LEAK IN MY NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, SOUNDING LIKE GOING TO "LOW GEAR", AND SLOWING FAST. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT HELP AND AFTER A WHILE WENT INTO GEAR AGAIN BY ITSELF WITH A BANG. REALLY BAD SITUATION IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 19NOV14, THEY SAID THAT IT NEVER FAILED FOR THEM. SINCE THEN, THE CAR FAILED 6 TIMES, THE LAST ONE TODAY. THERE WERE TIMES THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO STOP ON SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 06FEB15, THEY DID A SOFTWARE FLASH FOR PCM (FLASH SOFTWARE 1), UPDATED CAR COMPUTER. ON 04MAR15 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME HAPPEN AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS CLOSE BEHIND. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS AT FASTER SPEED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

CAR AT 55 MPH DROPS OUT OF DRIVE AT SPEEDS UP TO 55 MPH DROPS INTO NETURAL. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOCKS UP PREVENTING CAR TO START HAD TO BE TOW. *TR

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS BLOCKING THE RIGHT SIDE VISION THROUGH WINDSHIELD (PASSENGER SIDE) OF THE WHOLE STREET FOR PEOPLE, TURNING AND SWITCHING LANES. THE WINDSHIELD IS TOO SLANTED TOWARDS DRIVER AND PASSENGER MAKING THE WINDOW IN THE CENTER OF ALL TO BE VIEWED WHILE DRIVING. TERRIBLE OBSTRUCTION OF VISION. CONSOLE TOO WIDE, INTERFERES WITH LEG AND GAS PEDAL. ITS ALSO TOO SLANTED AS THE WINDSHIELD IS WAY TOO SLANTED. WHICH IS WHY THE MIRROR INTERFERES WITH VISION. NOT SAFE. *TR

AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL, IT WOULD NOT PULL FORWARD. IT MADE A NOISE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. SO, I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND STARTED ON MY ROUTE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS 2/21/2015 AT JUST OVER 5100 MILES. MY CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS, SO I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER FOR THE GEARS TO CHANGE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVE SIDE PASSENGER FLOOR IS WET. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM.

WHEN DECELERATING GOING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR SHIFTED BUT HAD ACCELERATED AS THOUGH I HAD PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO FORCEFULLY APPLY THE BRAKES EVEN HARDER TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FROM OF ME. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON OTHER OCCASIONS AS WELL BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT AS THERE WAS SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. IT IS AS THOUGH WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 7TH TO 5TH AND ALSO FROM 5TH TO 3RD THE CAR LUNGES FORWARDS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICES THE CAR WILL PULL ITSELF UP A HILL WITHOUT APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. I AM CONCERNED I MAY INADVERTENTLY REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN MY BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 200 (BARELY 6,000 MILES ON IT) AROUND 6:00 AM, GOING ABOUT 78 MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE PARKING BRAKE APPEARED TO ENGAGE, THE RADIO WENT OFF WHILE WARNING BEEPS WERE GOING NON STOP, AND EVERY WARNING ON THE DASH WAS LIT UP, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND SEEMED TO THINK IT WAS IN PARK WHILE IT WAS ACTUALLY IN DRIVE. IT STILL WOULD NOT DRIVE (WAS ACTING AS THOUGH BRAKES WERE ON WHEN THEY WERE NOT) WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME 2 HOURS LATER AND THE DRIVER WAS TRYING TO GET IT ONTO THE BED. AS I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR WENT INTO A SWIFT AND SUDDEN DECELERATION I WAS ALMOST SERIOUSLY INJURED AND, POTENTIALLY, COULD HAVE INJURED OTHERS. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS SO EARLY IN THE MORNING AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS ONLY HAPPENED THIS MORNING, BUT I AM TERRIFIED TO EVER DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE ANYONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO WHATEVER CAUSED THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE.

THE CONTROLS KNOBS FOR THE RADIO VOLUME AND STATION SELECTION, THE FAN SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION SELECTION ARE ALL CLUSTERED AT THE FRONT OF THE CENTER BETWEEN THE SEATS CONSOLE. ALL ARE SIMILAR ROTARY KNOBS AND ARE CLOSE TOGETHER. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR SELECTOR WITH OUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE GEAR SELECTOR CAN BE MOVED FROM ?D? DRIVE TO ?N? NEUTRAL, TO ?R? REVERSE, TO ?P? PARK UN-RESTRICTED. EXAMPLE: AS YOU ARE DRIVING. YOU REACH DOWN TO CHANGE THE FAN SPEED. YOU MISTAKENLY CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. IT YOU ARE WATCHING TRAFFIC AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY SET TO SEE THE GEAR INDICATOR. YOU MAY BE CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHY YOUR CAR IS STOPPING IN TRAFFIC. THERE SHOULD BE A DETENT (LIKE ALL OTHER CARS I OWNED). DRIVING THEM YOU CAN CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK WHILE IN MOTION. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE FROM NEUTRAL TO REVERSE OR PARK WITH OUT HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

CRUSE SET ON CRUSE. IT IS DONE SMOOTHLY. EXAMPLE: YOU ARE ON CRUSE CONTROL DRIVING AT SPEED 'X. YOU WANT TO CHANGE TO SPEED'. YOU PRESS THE + OR - BUTTON. WHEN YOU REACH THE DESIRED NEW SPEED. YOU RELEASE THE BUTTON. YOU ARE NOW AT YOUR NEW SPEED. CHRYSLER 200, YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A SET SPEED. YOU PRESS THE DESIRED SPEED DIRECTION. THE CAR DOES NOT CHANGE SPEED. LET SAY YOU HELD THE BUTTON FOR 10 SECOND. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DRASTICALLY CHANGES SPEED. EXAMPLE: I WAS TRAVELING THE EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MPH. I WAS NOW ABLE TO TRAVEL AT 70MPH. I PRESSED AND HELD THE '+' BUTTON. AFTER A SHORT BUT NOTICEABLE LENGTH OF TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY TO 85MPH BEFORE I HIT THE OFF BUTTON. I ASKED THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME TO HIT THE CHANGE BUTTON FOR ONLY ONE SECOND TO CHANGE 1MPH. IF I HOLD IT FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THE CAR WILL CHANGE SPEED BY 5MPH. IF I HOLD THE BUTTON FOR MORE THAT A FEW SECONDS. HE COULD TELL ME HOW FAR THE SPEED WILL CHANGE. IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF THAT PROBLEM. IT COULD BE A KILLER. THE CRUSE CONTROL SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 5MPH CHANGE AND NOT INFINITY. *TR

2015 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WROTE IN ON BEHALF OF HER EMPLOYEE. CAR HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDING DISPLAY MESSAGES: SERVICE TRANS, STOP SAFELY, SHUT OFF, ENGINE,. ETC. CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN MOTION. *TA

MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS IMPACTED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE LEFT FENDER AND DRIVER'S DOOR. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH IN MY OPINION FOR THE SIDE AIRBAGS TO RELEASE BUT NOTHING HAPPEN MY WIFE'S HEAD HIT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE PICTURES BUT DO NOT SEE A PLACE TO UPLOAD. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I95 AT 60 MPH IN THE CENTER LANE, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. NEAR THE 216 ON RAMP TO I95N. ONLY BECAUSE I WAS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WAS I ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND SAFELY GET OVER AND OFF ON TO THE SOFT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND AVOID A FATAL ACCIDENT. CAR STILL SAID "RUN" AND I HAD TO GET OUT ON SHOULDER AND WALK FAR AWAY FROM CAR TO DISENGAGE THE KEY FOB AND THEN RETURN TO THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF AND LEAVING OFF FOR 5+ MIN, ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED. AFTER 4 DAYS AT DEALER, THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. ALL WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE 4 COILS TO FIRE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. IN MID AUGUST 2014 ON INTERSTATE 110. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF, AS IF IT HAD STALLED. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND IT JERKED WILDLY AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT EVENTUALLY STARTED ONLY TO SHUT OFF AGAIN ON INTERSTATE 105W. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN LANE 1 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE PANEL INSTRUCTED ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE DRIVER PANEL DISPLAYED ?SERVICE TRANSMISSION? AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE ?RELEARNED? AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION OF SEVERAL CORRUPTED CODES THAT WERE FIXED. TWO DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THEY DETERMINED THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS IS VERY ROUGH. FURTHERMORE THE GEAR SHIFTING SEEMS DELAYED, AS THE GEARS ARE OFTEN VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THE DRIVING SPEED. FINALLY I NOTICE THAT AS I BRAKE OR LOWER MY SPEED THE GEARS DO NOT ADJUSTING ACCORDINGLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS MOSTLY A PROBLEM WHEN I BRAKE TO A SPEED LOWER THAN ABOUT 25MPH. IN THESE INSTANCES, UNLESS I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DROP BELOW 3RD GEAR. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND RECEIVED A ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW, ABOUT 6,000 MILES LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SHIFTING ISSUES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE DID NOT DIE, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED, THE VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING, THE "D" ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING, AS WERE THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB. I ORIGINALLY ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, BUT IT HAD NO IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I MOVED TOWARD THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTARTED. IT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO THE DEALER ON THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATE. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE, BUT I HAVE SO FAR NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN TO THE DEALER DUE TO WORK CONSTRAINTS. *TR

WITHOUT NOTICE THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED GOING UP HILL - NJ ROUTE 280 WEST. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. ALSO WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE CAR - IT JOLTS FORWARD BEFORE SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS - I WAS TOLD BY AN EMPLOYEE OF THE RENTAL AGENCY THAT 2 OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN TO THEM AND THEY RETURNED THE CARS. I FEAR SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE PRECIOUS LIVES ARE LOST OR PERMANENTLY INJURED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER FOUR MONTHS AGO. IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD SOME UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCES. AT FIRST IT WAS LITTLE THINGS, SUCH AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR, OR THE KEYFOB DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY. ALTHOUGH THOSE WERE NAGGING THEY WERE EASILY DEALT WITH. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET DOING ABOUT 40MPH, AND THE CARS DISPLAY STARTED THROWING ERROR MESSAGES, SUCH AS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT HAD STALLED AND I HAD NO POWER TO THE GAS, BRAKE OR STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THE LIKELIHOOD OF ME GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY HIGH, BEING THAT THIS WAS IN THE EVENING. SO, I AM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH A CAR THAT STILL HAS ACCESSORY POWER, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK, OR DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT FINE, BUT AGAIN COULDN'T SHIFT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE CAR SHIFTED INTO GEAR, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT, ALBEIT VERY SLOWLY SINCE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV PAST 2000 RPMS. I CHECKED FOR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE. THERE WAS NOT A FIX ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. SO, NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ROUGHLY 2200 MILES THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. IF/WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I HOPE I'M NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD ACTUALLY AS THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT IS VERY HIGH. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO

BEGINNING ON THE ABOVE DATE AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE THEN, THE CAR WILL TIGHTEN UP AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER. IT WILL SAY "POWER STEERING NOT AVAILABLE". A FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ALREADY DRIVING AND ON OTHER OCCASIONS IT WOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY UPON START-UP. *TR

I'M DRIVING A FRIEND TO THE STORE AND THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT LIKE ITS OUT OF GAS ON THE ATTEMPTED RESTART IT HAD SOUND EXACTLY LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS,I THEN CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR A TOW AND THEY SEND A SERVICE THAT WAS NOT EQUIP TO TOW THIS CAR SINCE IT HAS STOPPED,WE COULD NOT GET IT IN NEUTRAL TO LOAD IT ON THE FLAT BED.THE DRIVER THEN SUGGEST THAT I CALL A SERVICE WITH DOLLIES TO PUT UNDER EACH WHEEL SINCE THE CAR IS AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODEL,AFTER ANOTHER TOW TRUCK WAS CAR WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT, IT IS THEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER NOT TO WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, CHRYSLERS ROADSIDE WOULD ONLY TOW IT 14 MILES, MY DEALERSHIP WAS 6 MILES OVER THE LIMIT,AFTER 2DAYS I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT I COULD COME GET IT,WELL ON THE WAY HOME IT STALLED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER THIS TIME I AFTER A LITTLE WAIT IT STARTED,AND A BLOCK FROM MY HOME IT STALLED AGAIN!!,I THEN CALLED MY DEALERSHIP THEY WERE VERY GOOD,A LOT BETTER THAN CHRYSLER'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND A LOT BETTER THAN THE OTHER DEALERSHIP IN TERMS OF REALIZING. THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE ECU BUT THAT WAS LAST WEEK IT APPARENTLY WAS NOT AND NOW IT IS GOING ON 2WEEKS SINCE I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR, THEY DID SUPPLY ME WITH A LOAN CAR BUT THEY ARE STILL SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS AS TO WHY MY CAR KEEPS STALLING I THINK I MAY HAVE A LEMON.... *TR

DROVE VEHICLE 25 MILES FROM HOME,PARKED FOR 2 1/2 HOURS, STARTED VEHICLE SHIFTED IT IN REVERSE, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION NOTIFICATION CAME ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY, BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE THE GEAR INDICATOR SAID THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4TH GEAR AS I DROVE THE CAR FORWARD THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN 4TH GEAR WITHOUT SHIFTING, I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 1 MILE LIKE THIS. I PARKED THE CAR IN A SAFE PLACE, SHUT IT OFF, CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, RESTARTED VEHICLE, PUT IN GEAR, ALL WAS NORMAL, DROVE 4 MILES, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 8TH GEAR, PULLED OVER TURNED OFF CAR, RESTARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES, DROVE VEHICLE REMAINING DISTANCE HOME. NEXT DAY DROVE VEHICLE TO MODESTO,CA DEALERSHIP WITHOUT PROBLEM, DEALER HAD CAR FOR 7 DAYS, THEY SAID THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND UPDATED SOFTWARE. PICK UP VEHICLE DROVE IT, NOTICING THAT SHIFTING FELT DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE THE PROBLEM, NOT AS SMOOTH. ON DECEMBER 18, 2014 WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION ADVISORY CAME ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR, STOPPED VEHICLE AS BEFORE, RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE VEHICLE IS NOW. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISES ME THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS, BUT ARE NOT HAVING MUCH SUCCESS WITH AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ON THE BRONX RIVER PARKWAY FELT SOMETHING FUNNY ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWS TRANSMISSION AND CAR JUST CRUISING NOT DOING NOTHING WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I TOLD THEM THAT I REALLY DON'T WANT THE CAR BACK IF IT'S POSSIBLE FOR A DIFFERENT ONE THEY SAID ITS FIXABLE IT'S JUST A WIRE PROBLEM I BELIEVE AND I CAN'T JUST CHANGE CAR LIKE THAT I JUST GOT IT BUT MY POINT IS THIS WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE I BUY BRAND NEW CAR FOR A REASON IF OLD CARS BETTER WHY NOT RETURNING I NEED HELP IF POSSIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD TWO LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE AXLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RENTAL AGENCY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE ACCELERATES 2 TO 3 MPH WHEN TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS FROM 8TH GEAR TO 7TH AND FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO JUDGE STOPPING DISTANCES AND MAKING TURNS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

THE FACTORY-INSTALLED TIRES FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE ARE UNSAFE FOR WINTER DRIVING. NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT GRIP FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT THEY ARE ALSO INEFFECTIVE IN STOPPING AND TURNING. THE BRAND OF TIRE INSTALLED IS NEXEN P235/40/19. I HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY SIMPLY LAID THE BLAME UPON ME AND STATED THAT I SHOULD'VE CHOSEN ALL-SEASON TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE IN THE TYPE OF TIRE THAT WAS MOUNTED, ONLY THE WHEEL SIZE AND THAT ALL-SEASON TIRES WERE SUPPOSEDLY MOUNTED AT THE FACTORY. I THEN RECEIVED A RESPONSE REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE DIRECTLY AND THAT I CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE SINCE INSTALLED WINTER TIRES AT MY OWN COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE GEAR SHAFT INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,900.

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 TO 70 MPH, MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY STALL, AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY ELECTRONIC DASH DISPLAY WOULD BEGIN BLINKING, AND I HAVE NO POWER TO THE PEDAL AT ALL. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS IN FACT ABLE TO PULL OF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY KIND OF CAR ACCIDENT, HOWEVER THE SECOND INCIDENT NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AT THE TIME WERE QUITE HEAVY. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED DUE TO MY SUDDEN DECELERATION. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. AS OF TODAY (3 DAYS IN THE SHOP) I HAVE NOT HEARD A REASON AS TO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ROUGHLY 4 MONTHS, AND THIS STALLING HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD. *TR

90% OF THE TIME WHEN IN REVERSE THE BRAKES GIVE A VERY LOUD GRINDING SORT OF SOUND AS IF METAL IS ON METAL. THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE APPLIED ON THE BRAKES DOES NOT MATTER AS IT WILL HAPPEN EVEN WITH THE LIGHTEST OF PRESSURE. OWNED THIS VEHICLE 28 DAYS AND IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR A SECOND TIME ALREADY, FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT WAS FOR THE SERVICE DEPT TO "BREAK IN THE BRAKES" WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEING NEEDED ON A NEW CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT WAS CHRYSLER'S ENGINEERING'S RECOMMENDATION. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE MOMENT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR AROUND IN THE SERVICE BAY IN WHICH IT RETURNED BUT SLIGHTLY SOFTER WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER PUT IT IN REVERSE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE LOUD GRINDING SOUND AS BEFORE AND HAS CONTINUED. ON MY SECOND RETURN, A WEEK LATER, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED TO 5 OTHER 200'S HAVING COME BACK WITH THE SAME ISSUE SO FAR SINCE MY FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT. CAR IS IN THE SHOP ON ITS 4TH DAY THIS TIME AROUND AND STILL WAITING FOR A DEFINITE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

AT ABOUT 3,000 MILES, WHENEVER I WOULD PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. THIS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AT 9,300 MILES. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT FROM DANGEROUSLY ROLLING WAS TO ALWAYS HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, TWO SERVICE WRITERS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM BY ROLLING THE CAR WHEN IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE CAR WAS FINE. AS I DROVE IT AWAY, WHILE STILL ON THE DEALER LOT, I PARKED (PLACING THE CAR IN PARK, OF COURSE) AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO ASK THE SERVICE WRITER ONE ADDITIONAL QUESTION. AS I WALKED AWAY, THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD ABOUT 25 FEET AND CRASHED INTO A NEW CHRYSLER CAN ON THE DEALER LOT ' CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE NEW DEALER CAR. MY EXPERIENCE FITS EXACTLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CHRYSLER RECALL FROM APRIL OF THIS YEAR: APRIL 2014 -- CHRYSLER GROUP LLC (CHRYSLER) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2014 RAM 1500 4X4 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED JANUARY 24, 2014, THROUGH FEBRUARY 5, 2014. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE TRANSMISSION CASE MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MACHINED WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE PARK PAWL NOT PROPERLY ENGAGING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE 'PARK' POSITION. IF THE PARK PAWL DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLLAWAY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND OCCUPANT OR PEDESTRIAN INJURIES. CHRYSLER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AS NECESSARY, FR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED TO REGAIN NORMAL FUNCTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,900.

AFTER HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING AND RECEIVING A JUMPSTART, I WAS BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLES ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILST I WAS ON A CROWDED ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, NOR ENOUGH MOTION TO GET TO PARKING LOT. I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN A RIGHT HAND TURN LANE. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RESTART. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART AND I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO REQUEST A TOW, AND POLICE ASSISTANCE TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF MY VEHICLE AND TO KEEP TRAFFIC AWAY TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING, AND THAT THE DAY FOLLOWING THIS INCIDENT THE CAR STARTED FINE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SINCE THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT IS A FRESH REDESIGN THAT NOT ALL OF THE MAJOR ISSUES WERE CAUGHT BEFORE DEPLOYING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED, AND HOW IT WAS FIXED. *TR

A ROCK GOT STUCK IN BETWEEN THE REAR WHEEL AND BACKING PLATE WHICH CAUSED THIS LOUD NOISE AND REAR BRAKES TO LOCK UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200S, MY CAR HAS STALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, EACH AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ON TWO OF THE INCIDENTS, THE CAR SHUT OFF, I WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. ONCE IN PARK I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND PROCEED WITH DRIVING. ON JULY 8, 2014 THE CAR STALLED AND TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK HOWEVER THE CONTROL KNOB (CENTER CONSOLE ON THESE CARS) TO DO SO WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN HOWEVER ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL ACTIVE WITHIN THE CAR. SEVERAL SERVICE MESSAGES CYCLED THROUGH THE DISPLAY ON THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER (NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM). ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY. THEREFORE MY CAR REMAINED ON THE LOT, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NIGHT (APPROXIMATELY 12-15 HOURS) BEFORE IT WAS LOOKED AT. IN THAT TIME THE BATTERY HAD DIED, ONCE IT WAS JUMPED IT STARTED AND IT WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED INTO A SERVICE BAY. AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE SERVICE DEPT I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THEY "ROAD TESTED" THE CAR 102 MILES AS INSTRUCTED BY CHRYSLER HOWEVER NO CODES WERE ACTIVE IN REGARDS T

DURING LAUNCH OF 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AT STERLING HEIGHTS ASSEMBLY PLANT VEHICLES HAVE HAD AT LEAST 30 TORQUE FAILURES OR NO READS FOR CRITICAL JOINTS. THEREFORE TORQUE WOULD HAVE TO BE VERIFIED MANUALLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE COMPANY HAS NOT PROVIDED THE PROPER SOCKETS TO THE WRENCHES TO VERIFY THE JOINTS. DESPITE THIS MANAGEMENT HAS PRESSURED SUPERVISORS TO LEAVE NO DEFECTS ON THE LINE. THIS ENVIRONMENT HAS CAUSED SUPERVISORS TO BUY OFF ON UNVERIFIED TORQUE ON CRITICAL SAFETY JOINTS. *TR
