2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I WAS PARKED ON THE STREET ONE DAY AND COULDN'T START THE CAR, I CALLED A TOW TRUCK HE RIGHT AWAY SAID IT'S A ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSE THE BATTERY WORKED, FINALLY HE GOT THE CAR STARTED THE KNOB SHIFTER WAS JUST LOOSE IT TURNED BACK AND FORTH BUT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SO HE SAID HE CAN'T TOW THE CAR SINCE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE FUNNY THING IS, IT SHOWS ITS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION BUT STILL IT'S PARKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE. SO FAR I'M SITTING IN MY CAR AND DONNO WHAT TO DO. WHAT A LEMON THIS CAR IS, EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAD ISSUES WITH JUMPY TRANSMISSION.

DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WAS DARK ON THE ROAD AND I BECAME SCARED, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE CAR DID THE SAME THING WHILE I WAS DRIVING SPEED OF 63. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY SISTERS. *TR

WHILE IN MOTION, OVERHEATING LIGHT AND ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME UP ON DASH DISPLAY, WITH TEMPERATURE READING AT 0. THE VEHICLE STILL DROVE AS NORMAL, I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF. RESTARTED AFTER 30 SECS AND THE LIGHTS WHERE GONE, JUST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I HAD A FAULTY THERMASTAT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE SINCE NOVEMBER 2016 WITH CHRYSLER 200 & JEEP VEHICLES.

I WERE IN LITTLE BUT REALLY SCARED ACCIDENT WITH MY ALMOST NEW CHRYSLER. IN VERY SLOW TRAFFIC (5-7 MILES/HOUR) WHEN I TRIED TO COME HOME AFTER WORK MEETING FROM KIRKLAND SUDDENLY I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES DON'T WANNA STOP THE CAR WITH LIGHT TAPPING AS IT WAS OK PREVIOUSLY, THEN TAPPED ON BRAKE HARDER AND THEN PANIC AND REALIZED THE BRAKE. I END UP WITH HANG ON THE TAIL (THE LITTLE THING ATTACHED TO THE REAR END OF THE CAR) OF BIG TRACK. I TRIED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BRAKES PROBLEM TO MY INSURANCE, BUT COLLISION REPAIR COMPANY DID NOT CONFIRM MY CONCERNS AND I PAID $1000 DEDUCTIBLE AS THE DRIVER IN FAULT (IN THE FUTURE IT WILL AFFECT MY MONTHLY PAY FOR INSURANCE). I TRIED TO FIND THE SOLUTION BUT ONLY MY FAMILY CAN SUPPORT ME WITHOUT LAUGHING AT MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SAFETY. ONE OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME, THAT I NEED TO INVOLVE SOME OF AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL AND STOP TRYING TALK TO THE WALL. CHRYSLER ALREADY TOOK AN ADVANTAGE OF MY NOT FAIR PURCHASE AND THEN MY TRADE-IN WITH THEM (MY DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER 200 FOR SAFETY REASON AGAIN!!! AND SOLD TO ME MY CURRENT CHRYSLER FOR $43,000 AND IT'S NOT SAFE STILL!!!). IN ADDITIONAL, I SCARED WITH THE NOISE PRODUCING BY THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING: THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT'S GOING DOWN OF THE HILL AND WINDOWS OR SOMETHING LIKE WINDOWS SHAKING NOISE. FRANKLY SAYING, I HAVE VERY UPSETTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND START LOOKING FOR THE SECOND OPINION WITH TREATING ME AS THE FAIR AND PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS IN THE OPTIONS TO KEEP MY LIFE SAFE SINCE I HAVE A STRONG FEELING, THAT I'M NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CHRYSLER. THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO BRIGHTEN CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT WAS POORLY DESIGNED. THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT REACH FAR ENOUGH AHEAD AND APPEAR TO BE HOODED*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND REGAINED NORMAL OPERATION.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING THE OIL AND THEN SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING HAS LEFT US IN 2 INTERSECTIONS HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BOTH TIMES THE DEALERSHIP IS MONITORING OIL AFTER CRYSELR DONE A RESET BUT IT IS STILL CONSUMING OIL I HAVE SPOKE WITH CRYSLER BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ENSURE MY FAMILIES SAFTY.

OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND LURCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOW CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE FLOOR, AND LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONE MAJOR COLLISION. DEALERS HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUES BUT THEY RETURN. PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY ACTIVATES ON ITS OWN, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURENCE THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING US TO SKID INTO A DITCH WHILE TRAVELLING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BATTERY AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US AFTER CHARGING US BECAUSE THE BATTERY APPARENTLY ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE HAVE REPLACED EVERY MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT CANNOT GET THE CARS BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. CHRYSLER EITHER HAS NO COMMENT OR DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
