2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

DRIVING TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT TWO ALERTS ON MY DASHBOARD SIGNALING ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT AND TO SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CARS PERFORMANCE AFTER THESE ALERTS WAS POOR AND IT WAS VERY LOUD. IT WAS STRUGGLING TO GET PAST 40MPH. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND FOUND MY THERMOSTAT, THE HOUSING, AND SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. ALSO FOUND OUT THE MEMORY OF THE CONTROLLER NEEDED TO GO BACK TO A DEALER TO BE ERASED AND RE PROGRAMMED WHICH IS NOT MY FAULT.

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO SLOWLY STOPS AND WAIT THERE TO START THE CAR SOMETIMES I HAVE TO JUMP THE CAR IN ORDER TO START AND THEN ITS OK FOR SOME TIME.

HAVE HAD VEHICLE APPROX 1 YR. WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON CITY STREET CHECK ENGINE CAME ON WITH ENGINE OVERHEAT MSG AND ENGINE COOLING SENSOR AS WELL. REPLACED SENSOR AND WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM READJUSTS ITSELF TO THE NEW SENSOR MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN WITH ADDED SERVICE ELECRTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL MSG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AGAIN. I WAS NEAR OREILL AND IT PRODUCED CODES FOR THERMOSTAT, COOLING SENSOR, SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, ETC. MESSAGES ARE NOT ON SCREEN NOW BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STILL ON. I BELIEVE IT TRIGGERS WHEN COOLING TEMP REACHES APPX, 189 F. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND SEEMS THE PROBLEM ESCALATES TO MUCH WORSE SUCH AS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO RECALLS THUS FAR BUT MANY PEOPLE ANTICIPATING SOMEONE NEEDING TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME AND AM VERY CONCERNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO THE DRIVE POSITION, THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHUT OFF DUE TO THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAYSHORE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (5225 INTERSTATE 10 EAST, BAYTOWN, TX 77521), BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V114000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM AN AIR BAG RECALL, AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN STATING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE STALLS AND CUT-OFF WHENEVER I STOP ON THE HIGHWAY, STOP SIGNS OR PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN.

ON DECEMBER 31, 2017 MY WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOMEFROM CHURCH WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE READ THE OWNERS MANUAL, NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING CAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS. ON JANUARY 2, 2018 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR ME AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. LATER THAT DAY THE SERVICE MAN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00 WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF SERVICE CALLS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED TWO OTHER DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THIS MUST BE AN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALER CALLED OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. AND IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL AFTER SHE HUNG UP ON ME. SO AT THIS TIME THIS IS WHY I AM WRITING YOU. *JS

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 2.4L 45K WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, BUT SOMETIMES IT DRIVES IN REVERSE...

THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM GOES OFF REPEATEDLY WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF PASSENGERS BEING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SEIZES. IT HAPPENED AT 3,500 MILES (DEALERSHIP STATED BLOWN FUSE) AND AGAIN AT 12,500 MILES. I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. IT IS A SUDDEN STOP AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH AND INJURIES. I WILL NOT GET BACK INTO THAT CAR! BOTH TIMES, IT WAS AT 25 MILES PER HOUR, JUST STARTING BACK AFTER A STOP SIGN.
