2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE FACTORY BATTERY ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL IS BAD. CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT START RANDOMLY AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF DURING DRIVING DUE TO THE FAULTY BATTERY.

DROVE THE CAR FROM GERMANTOWN MD TO WASHINGTON DC FOR A PROGRAM, GOT IN THE CAR TWO HOURS LATER. DOOR UNLOCKED WITH REMOTE, PLACE FOOT ON BRAKE, DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO TURNS ON CAR WON'T START. STOP RECOGNIZING MY REMOTE IN THE CAR. I HAD PEOPLE TRY HOOKING UP JUMPER CABLES, NOTHING HAPPEN. AFTER TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG CAR STARTS. DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITH NO ISSUES. NEXT MORNING CAR WON'T START SAME THING HAPPENING. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THE CAR SHOWING IN NEUTRAL WHEN THE KNOB TURNED TO PARK. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM READING MY CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT IT'S NOT THEREFORE IT WON'T START. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND CRISWELL ONLY DID A UPDATING OF SOFTWARE, THE REWIRING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WASN'T DONE. THE RECALL WASN'T DONE AS CALLED FOR AND THE REMOTE IS A REPLACEMENT AFTER THEY LOST MY ORIGINAL.

THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT INTO A BRAND NEW CAR, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO RE-CALLS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CAR AND I'M TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON A CAR THAT IS A LEMON!!!

THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP I PURCHASED IT APRIL 19, 2017 27K MILES HAVEN'T MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET AND THE CAR IS ABOUT TO KILL ME. ENGINE STALLING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER I LOST ACCELERATION AND CAR CUT OFF. CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH VERY HARD THEN TELLS ME TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART NUMEROUS TIMES. SOMETIMES DOING SO DOESN'T START THE CAR UNTIL AFTER A FEW TRIES. THIS CAR WILL CUT OFF LOSE SPEED AND NEARLY BREAK YOUR NECK DRIVING RATHER YOU ARE AT A LOW OR HIGH SPEED GOING UP OR DOWN HILL. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT THEY KEPT MY CAR STILL TO SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. THERE'S NO LIGHTS THAT ARE POPPING ON AND NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN LOSING ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY AND JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BUCKED, JERKED, HESITATED, AND LOST POWER. DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (GARDEN CITY CHRYSLER IN HAMPSTEAD NEW YORK) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN AUDIBLE INDICATOR WAS HEARD AS A RED LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A MESSAGE DISPLAYED OF 'POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE" AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF ALEXANDRIA LOCATED AT 5900 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22303, PHONE NUMBER: 703-329-1600 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR REPAIRS AND THE DEALER NEEDED TO ORDER THE MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD THREE RECALLS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2015 AS ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

FIRST, MY CAR PROBLEM STARTS 2 WEEKS AGO WITH HEATING SENSOR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND IT SHOWS TAKE TO THE DEALER AND I FIXED IT. AFTER THAT PROBLEM CONTINUES WITH THE NEW SENSOR AS WELL. AFTER DRIVING COUPLE OF MILES, IT SHOWS YOU REQUIRED A SERVICE OF THE SENSOR AND IT GOES ON/OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN I TAKE TO THE DEALER IT SAYS IT'S FINE AFTER INSPECTION. AFTER THAT CHECK ENGINE STARTS POPPING UP ALONG WITH SERVICE OF HEAT ENGINE SENSOR. I THINK I HAVE WASTED MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON CHRYSLER 200 AND I AM NOT GONNA REFER IT TO ANYONE AS I HAVE DRIVEN HONDA BEFORE SO EXPECTATIONS WERE HIGH.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALARM STAYS ON AND INTERRUPTS THE INFO ON THE DASH. THE RADIO HAS TURNED UP ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND DOOR OPENED. THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY STALLS ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A HARD OR FAST TURN OR WHEN BRAKING HARD. SOMETIMES JT CUTS OFF WHEN IDLING. IT IS ALWAYS HARD TO GET RESTARTED, AND REQUIRES SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING. THE RADIO PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG LIGHT US CONSTANT DURING STATIONARY AND MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE STALLS HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN DECELERATION OR HARD TURNS OR BRAKING. SOMETIMES A RED LIGHT WITH LIGHTENJNG BOLT APPEARS ON DASH AND THE CAR WILL RIDE VERY ROUGH UNTIL TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON

THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND TWICE WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS STATIONERY ROADS. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER ON 5/16/17 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I PICKED IT UP ON 5/23/17 & THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME THREE TIMES SINCE THEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES; HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE A VIDEO.

VEHICLE ENGINE CYLINDER WALLS SUFFERED FROM EXCESSIVE SCORING DURING THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY STALLS, SHAKES, AND JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND DURING IDLE PERIODS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF THECONSTANT SHAKING AND RUMBLING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CHRYSLER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALMOST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, SUBSEQUENTLY PUTTING ME AND MY NEWBORN BABY AT RISK OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. ONE MORNING IN MY GARAGE, THE 200 WOULD NOT CRANK WHEN PRESSING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND AFTER THIS, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2015, AND CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ISSUES.
