2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

FIRST, THERE IS THE HVAC/WINDSHIELD DEFROST. MY CONCERN WITH THAT CONDITION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRAVEL AND TO HAVE THE HVAC TO WORK PROPERLY IN THE SUMMER IS VITAL AS WELL, AS HAVING A CLEAR WINDSHIELD. A BREAKDOWN AT NIGHT, AN ACCIDENT, HITTING A POLE HOLE, SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WOULD BE FAR WORSE THAN A MERE INCONVENIENCE. INCIDENTALLY, MY INTENDED USE OF THE VEHICLE WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR TO THE SALES STAFF WHEN I BOUGHT IT. SECOND, AND THE MATTER OF FAR GREATER CONCERN TO ME IS THE TRANSMISSION. CAR MAKING CLUCKING NOISE, VIBRATING, JERKING WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND LAUNCHING WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM THE BACK. THIRD, VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. WHICH IN RETURN I'VE BEEN WITHOUT VEHICLE FOR MORE THEN 14 DAYS AND OCCUR EXTRA EXPENSES OF CAR RENTALS, TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT DUE TO IRREGULAR WEAR. FOURTH, HESITATION ON ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED WITH REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE SHAFT. DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFT WAS THE REASON FOR DELAY AND JERKING. FIFTH, EXCESSIVE GAS BURNING. I WAS INFORMED THAT EXIST BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT. ONCE DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED IT DIDN'T RESOLVE ISSUE. I WAS GIVING A FORMULA TO CALCULATE GAS MILEAGE, WHICH WAS GIVEN TO DEALER. CAR AVERAGING 16MPG. PER CAR STICKER FUEL ECONOMY: HIGHWAY 29/ CITY 18. CAR IS DRIVEN MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT A LOT OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. OUR STATE'S LEMON LAW DICTATES THAT A VEHICLE CARRIES A PRESUMPTION THAT IT IS A LEMON IF A CONDITION EXISTS 'THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND THE NONCONFORMITY HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO REPAIR TWO OR MORE TIMES BY THE MANUFACTURER OR ITS AGENTS, AND THE BUYER OR LESSEE HAS AT LEAST ONCE DIRECTLY NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE NEED FOR THE REPAIR OF THE NONCONFORMITY.'

CAR PURCHASED 10/21/2016, 3 MONTHS LATER PROBLEMS BEGAN. 01/16/2016 SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, FOR WHAT REASON I STILL DON'T KNOW. TAKEN THE CAR TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS TO WORK ON IT AND I KEEP BEING TOLD IT IS A PASSENGER SEAT CONNECTOR, YET I HAVE HAD THIS DONE 3 TIMES NOW...$500 OUT OF POCKET EACH TIME, THE LIGHT IS STILL ON AS OF 11/10/2017. NOW THE CAR ALSO HAS A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY ALONG WITH THIS AIRBAG LIGHT. AS WELL AS OF 10/25/2017 MY CAR HAS BEGAN TO TELL ME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING HOT WHILE I'M DRIVING, BUT THE THERMOSTAT DISPLAY INSIDE NEVER EVEN GETS TO HALF.. SO NOT SURE ABOUT THIS NOW. AS WELL AS ALSO TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AS SOON AS THE OVERHEAT SENSOR GOES OFF. LASTLY I WAS AT THE GAS STATION THE OTHER DAY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START, IT SAID THE KEYFOB NOT DETECTED BUT IT WAS IN MY HAND! HAD TO GOOGLE WHAT TO DO..(WHICH IS PUT NOSE OF KEYFOB TO BUTTON AND PRESS IT THAT WAY IF HAPPENS TO ANYBODY ELSE) SOO THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 4 DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON AT THIS TIME OF 11/10/2017. ENTERPRISE HAS YET TO HELP ME OR GET BACK TO ME ON ANY OF THESE ISSUES. IT WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM, OBVIOUSLY THEY SOLD ME A LEMON! AS I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE ON 11/01/17 I HAD THEM RUN CODES AND IT AND IT READ I NEEDED A NEW THERMOSTAT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND THE ETC LIGHT...NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN A CAR FROM HELL. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS TO ENTERPRISE ABOUT THIS CAR REPEATEDLY ESPECIALLY WITH IT ALL HAPPENING SO SOON AFTER GETTING THE CAR. I'M STUCK WITH IT NOW SO I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEBODY TO KNOW WHAT THERE DOING AND ACTUALLY FIX THIS CAR!!!

MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING, AND WITHOUT WARNING. PROMPTS ON THE DASH READ SHIFT TO PARK TO START SO I DID. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT TURNED BACK ON. 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME.

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO REST AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN AND I TRY TO PULL OUT, A WARNING LIGHT FLASHES, THE ENGINE STALLS AND THE MESSAGE SAYS TO PUT ENGINE IN PARK. WHEN I AM FINALLY ABLE TO RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND POWER THE CAR OFF AND TRY TO RESTART, IT TRIES, BUT FAILS AT LEAST TWO TIMES BEFORE WORKING THE THIRD TIME.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON AFTER HAVING MY OIL CHANGED AND IT WON'T GO OFF 5/6/2017. THEN YESTERDAY 11/6/2017 MY CAR WOULD NOT START BECAUSE MY BATTERY WAS DEAD BUT I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN MARCH AND THE BATTERY SHOULD BE DEAD AFTER 2 YEARS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ENDED UP COMING ON AFTER HAVING AAA JUMP START MY VEHICLE AND I'M JUST HAVING ISSUES THAT I SHOULDN'T BE EXPERIENCING AND I'D THINK MY AIRBAG SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE UTILIZING THE UCONNECT 8.4 NAV ONBOARD NAVIGATION SYSTEM DRIVING ON 1-94 TOWARD CHICAGO, THE GPS SYSTEM STARTED GIVING WRONG DIRECTIONS AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER LOST LOCK ON WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS AND THE DIRECTION IT WAS HEADING. AT ONE POINT, THE SYSTEM TOLD ME TO TURN RIGHT AT THE EXIT AND THERE WAS NO EXIT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS AND KNEW THE DIRECTIONS TO BE IN ERROR. HAD THIS NOT BEEN THE CASE, I.E DRIVING AT NIGHT IN POOR VISIBILITY AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ROUTE, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STALLED 6 TIMES, ITS NOT A STANDARD WHICH IS UNUSUAL. THE ONLY EXPLANATION THE GARAGE GAVE ME WAS THAT ITS LOW ON OIL. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME, I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND ALOT OF PEOPLE AT HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. WHEN THE CAR STALLED I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE BRAKES. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I STAYED THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH A COP DIRECTING TRAFFICS AROUND MY CAR,UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO START BACK UP. WHEN IT STARTED BACK UP IT RAN GOOD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AND I HAD IT TOWED.

STALLS SHIFTS, SHIFTS HARD WON'T GO TO PARK STAYS IN NEUTRAL. WENT FOR RECALL DEALER SAID I JUST NEED THE UPDATE. CAR IS STILL ACTING THE SAME AFTER RECALL. FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN CAR STALLS ON HIGHWAY AND BUSY STREETS.

TRANSMISSION MAY SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY TO NEUTRAL CAUSING A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. THE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THE INCIDENTS ALWAYS INVOLVE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. ALL 6 OR 7 INCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED FROM JANUARY TO OCTOBER OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS.
