2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, "SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION NEEDED TO BE CONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,982.

MY CHRY 200, 2015 WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN MY CAR COLLIDED WITH THE SIDE OF A SCHOOL BUS THE WHOLE FRONT AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE CHRYSLER WAS SMASHED IN AND TORE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON IMPACT, ON A CITY STREET WHILE TURNING LEFT.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE BLOCKED BY ASSEMBLY AND IN ORDER TO GET THEM POINTED HIGH ENOUGH TO DO ANY GOOD THE HIGH BEAMS DONT WORK CORRECTLY. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES. IF POINTED AT A WALL YOU CAN CYCLE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW BEAMS AND THE LOW BEAMS SHOW UP AS A IF YOU WERE COVERING HALF OF A NORMAL HEADLIGHT WITH A BOOK.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS, I HAVE TO LET UP ON THE GAS AND THEN APPLY PRESSURE TO GAS PETAL AND IT WILL FINALLY SHIFT VERY HARD. SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO EXELERATE ON RAMP TO GET INTO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL NOT EXELERATE BUT JUST BE STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN IT WILL JUMP OR SHIFT VERY HARD INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE I'M COMING OFF THE RAMP TO SLOW. OTHER TIMES I WILL JUST BE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT WILL JUMP WITHOUT SHIFTING. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH MY DEALERSHIP ON MAY OCCASIONS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2016.

COMPATIBILITY OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION (POWERTRAIN). WHILE STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THERE IS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE STILL IN A STATIONARY MODE YOU CAN MOVE THE SELECTOR KNOB TO NEUTRAL AND THE VIBRATION WILL GO AWAY. THIS TEST CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A TORQUE ISSUE WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN. CHRYSLER HAS INCORPORATED ALL KNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATES AND REPLACED ALL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CHRYSLER RESPONSE WAS THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 200 AND WILL NOT AFFECT ANY COMPONENTS. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION INDICATES THAT THERE ARE COMPONENTS NOT IN ACCEPTABLE RANGE OF TOLERANCE AND WILL CAUSE COMPONENTS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. THIS PROBLEM THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN COULD BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IS POSSIBLE SHOULD THE POWERTRAIN LOCK UP DUE TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
