2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

BROUGHT A VECHICLE AT RUSTON USED CARS. AIR BAG LIGHT ON. TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP. COMPANY STATED CAR HAD NO AIR BAGS IN IT.

ON 1 MAY 2017, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 TO WORK. I WAS CRUISING AT 67 MPH ON THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN BUSY MORNING TRAFFIC. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM 67 MPH TO 70 MPH THEN TO 74 MPH WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I CANCELLED CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE CAR STAYED AT THE ACCELERATED SPEED AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THAT TIME. I TAPPED THE BRAKE WITH NO RESPONSE; THEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND FINALLY REGAINED CONTROL AND WAS THEN ABLE TO BRAKE AND SLOW THE CAR DOWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS ACCELERATED TO 74 MPH, I HAD NO CONTROL AND I COULD HEAR THAT IT WAS WINDING AND TRYING TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR BUT IT SEEMED STUCK AT 4000 RPMS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I ALSO AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MYSELF. IT'S A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT BECAUSE THE CAR ALSO SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. ON A DAILY BASIS, I CAN FEEL THE CAR SPEED UP WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. THIS SUDDEN SURGE COULD EASILY CAUSE A FENDER BENDER. EACH TIME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS EVENT ON 1 MAY, I WAS OFFERED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN, BUT I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT AND SEE NO NEED SINCE ON BOTH OCCASIONS THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HOPE THEY BUY THIS CAR BACK AS I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE TO TRADE IN PLUS I AM "UPSIDE DOWN" SO I WOULD STILL BE PAYING FOR IT EVEN IF I TRADED IT. I HOPE CHRYSLER DOES THE RIGHT THING BY MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE. SEE ALSO ODI 11102154. *DSY *TT

AFTER WORK I GO TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS A HARD START AND THEN MY CAR DIED. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO POP OUT OF THE HOOD. WELL, CHRYSLER WAS INFORMED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY SERVICE MAN CALLED APPROXIMATELY 45 MIN AFTER MY CAR WAS DELIVERED TO THEM EXPLAINING TO ME I WAS ABOUT 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE I EXPLAINED TO HIM. ON THE DRIVER SIDE THERE IS A STICKER SHOWING I JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGE NOT TO LONG AGO. MY SERVICE MAN SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. THIS TYPE OF ENGINE BURNS OIL AND I RECOMMEND WHEN YOU FILL UP YOUR TANK TO CHECK YOUR OIL EVERY TIME. I FILL UP ONCE A WEEK SO I HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL ONCE A WEEK!? THIS IS RIDICULOUS MY NEW CAR BURNS OIL!? GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AFTER WORK. WHAT IF MY CAR WOULD HAVE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS. I DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO TAKE AND PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL. NOW I HAVE TO CARRY A QUART OF OIL SO MY CAR DOESN'T STALL AND DIE ON ME

THE VEHICLE IS CONTINUING TO HAVE THESE DEFAULTS AS SHOWN IN PICTURES I'M EXPERIENCING MORE DEFAULTS IN THIS VEHICLE AND THAT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR CHRYLSER CARS AND THAT I'M AFRAID OF EITHER GETTING HURT OR SOMEONE ELSE GETTING HURT MAYBE EVEN KILLED DUE TO THESE FAULTY ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKING AND THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE.

2015 CHRYSLER 200 DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AT LEAST 10 TO COUNT THE VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE FAILS. AT THIS POINT I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR WHICH I JUST PURCHASED THREE MONTHS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE A DEATH TRAP. FURTHERMORE THE VEHICLE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT IT WILL NOT COMPLY I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER END THE CHEVY DEALER FOR WHICH I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NO RECALL AND IT APPEARS THAT MY WARRANTY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE CAR TO GET FIXED.

ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE OR DRIVING A SPEEDS BETWEEN 25-30 MPH ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM 30-75 DEGREES, TYPICALLY AFTER SITTING ALL DAY OR OVERNIGHT. AFTER STALLING, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO RESTART, TAKING SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE THE ENGINE. IT HAS HAD REPEATED SOFTWARE UPDATES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITHOUT POSITIVE RESULTS.

CAR IS ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND CHIMES EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES. I SEE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT, WHY?. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME.

AFTER SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME AT TIMES SUCH AS AT THE BANK OR DRIVE THRU'S ECT WHEN YOU PULL AWAY IT STARTS FINE PULLING AWAY SLOW. THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP TO GO INTO TRAFFIC IT WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT HELPS IT IS TO LITERALLY SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL PHYSICALLY THEN SHIFT IT BACK TO DRIVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO "COULDN'T MAKE IT DO IT" AND THEY SAID WHEN THE RED ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO BRING IT BACK. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 C EQUIPPED WITH NEXEN TIRES, TIRE LINE: CP671 AND TIRE SIZE: 235/40/R19 N/A. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED AT HIGH SPEEDS, IT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWAY WAS NOT DUE TO THE VEHICLE BUT THE ISSUE WAS PROBABLY CAUSED FROM THE TIRES SIDEWALL. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ON WHILE IN DRIVE MODE THE GEAR SHIFTS REMAIN TO MOVE ACCORDINGLY #1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8 THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP WHILE IN DRIVING MODE AND THAT THE AIRBAGS SYSTEM IS CONTINUED TO BLINK ON AND OFF THESE ARE SOME OF THE BAD DEFECTS THAT'S HAPPENING AS OF NOW I'M AFRAID OF REALLY DRIVING THESE VEHICLE DUE TO FAULTY SYSTEMS THAT MAY BE MORE THAN A ISSUE THE PROBLEMS STARTED WHEN IN PARKING AND DRIVE MODE.
