2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

MY VEHICLE IS NOW A YEAR OLD AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 54 MILES ON THE CAR. PURCHASE COMPLETE IN JUNE, BY SEPTEMBER VEHICLE NEEDED THE MOTOR REPLACED (SO DISAPPOINTING AND SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE). THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING AMID TRAFFIC WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT ISSUE AND YET MORE STALLING NOW THAN BEFORE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS LEMON AND NOT MUCH HELP HAS BEEN GIVEN AT ALL. AS I TYPE NOW THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CAR IS THAT THE CAR STALLS DISPLAYING THE BATTERY LIGHT BUT STARTS BACK UP. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND OF COURSE THEY STATED THE SAME THING (OH THE BATTERY MUST BE REPLACED) AT THE EXPENSE OF $390 WHICH I REFUSED THOSE SERVICES. WENT TO GET BATTERY TESTED FROM A SECOND OPINION AND THE BATTERY LIFE WAS FINE AND WAS NOT DIE TO BE REPLACED. NOW WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DISPLAYS THE BATTERY LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE AND SHUTS OFF. WELL TO TOP THAT PROBLEM AND THE 3 OR FOURTH TIME OF STALLING DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE, CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES DISPLAYING BRAKING SYSTEM NOTIFICATION WHEN THE CAR NOW DOES NOT SHIFT INTO AND GEARS. THE AIR/HEATING SYSTEM, RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC STILL WORKS BUT CAR CAN'T GO INTO PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR LOW. I EMAILED CHRYSLER ALONG WITH PICTURES AND OF COURSE I AM YET TO GET A REPLY.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT MIGHT RESTART AND IT MIGHT NOT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON FOR A SHORT TIME. ONE TIME IT WAS AFTER WORK READY TO GO HOME, YESTERDAY I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY EVENING DOING 60 -65 MPH ON HWY 6 AND MY CAR DECELERATED LIKE IT TURNED OFF. I TRIED PUSHING THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THE ENGINE DIDN'T EVEN REV UP. I HAD WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY DASH. I TRIED UPLOADING PICTURES BUT THEY WOULDN'T ATTACH. I COASTED THE TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND MY CAR WOULDN'T DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE. I TURNED MY CAR OFF HOPING THAT WOULD HELP, BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK. I GOT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RESET SOME COMPUTER DRIVE AND I "SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO THIS AFTERNOON". I TOLD THAT LADY THERE'S A RECALL ON CHRYSLERS FOR THAT VERY ISSUE AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THAT CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I'VE BARELY HAD IT A YEAR. SHE TOLD ME THAT RIGHT NOW THEY CAN'T FIX IT. IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT THEN CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY BACK ALL OF THESE CARS FROM THE PEOPLE GOT SCAMMED INTO BUYING THEM. I'VE HAD ENGINE TROUBLE FROM THIS CAR FROM DAY 1.

STARTING IN JULY 2016, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY PARKING BREAK. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS (MOST RECENT ON 8/19/16), THE PARKING BREAK WOULD NOT RELEASE AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I WAS STUCK FOR ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES EACH TIME. THE CAR JUMPS AS I ACCELERATE (THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE FROM DAY 1) , AS IF IT IS HAVING A PROBLEM TRANSITIONING BETWEEN GEARS. THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, LIKE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING STRUCTURE, OR ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. YESTERDAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START. ELECTRICITY WAS ON (RADIO, LIGHTS ETC) BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. JUMPING IT HELPS.
