2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

VEHICLE HAS HARD SHIFTS AND LURCHES WHEN DRIVING, COMPLETE LOSS OF PROPULSION, THEN THE GAS KICKS BACK IN AND IT UNCOMFORTABLY LURCHES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING. VEHICLE LOSES PROPULSION AND SHUTS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE TURNING, STALLS, DASH SAYS SHIFT TO P TO START, SHOWS ONLY BATTERY SYMBOL, SHIFT KNOB D SYMBOL BLINKING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT MAKES A HORRIBLE DEAD BATTERY STARTING SOUND, SOMETIMES STARTS FIRST TRY, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY TIME ITS DRIVEN.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT POWER BACK UP OR ALLOW TO START SOMETIMES WHEN I STOP. IT ALSO WILL NOT DETECT MY KEY FOBS WHILE IM TRYING TO START IT. ALSO, IT WILL JUMP VERY BADLY WHEN GOING SLOW(STREET) OR FAST(FREEWAY). THE CAR ALSO SMELLED LIKE FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY. IT ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS REVERSING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND MADE A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE 2 TIMES. THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO SAY THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. ONE OF MY CASE NUMBERS WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE IS 29448239 AND THE OTHER IS 29301258. BOTH WERE CLOSED ALTHOUGH I STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SUDDENLY START FLASHING SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE AIRBAGS, SERVICE BRAKES AND DURING THAT TIME THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT DISENGAGES FROM DRIVE AND ALTERNATES FROM PARK TO LOW WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AFTER TWO YEARS OF COMPLAINING AND BEING TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT STORING AN CODES FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY ELECTRONIC MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICE AND REPROGRAMMED 4 TIMES SINCE IT'S PURCHASE IN JUNE OF 2014 AND NOW THERE IS A NEW RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'M NOT SAFE IN THIS DEATH TRAP. *TR

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 WAS LEAKING AIR FROM THE WHEEL. WHEN TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER DON MARSHAL CHRYSLER IN SOMERSET KY. THEY DISMOUNTED THE TIRE FROM THE WHEEL AND FOUND A STRESS CRACK IN THE WHEEL THAT WAS CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. THIS WAS ON THE FRONT TIRE AND IF NOT FOR THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD A WRECK. THE HEAD MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOT FROM ANY DAMAGE FROM HITTING ANYTHING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I EVEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR OF THE LADY HANDLING MY CLAIM AND SHE WAS ALSO NOT TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT THE METAL USED IN MAKING THIS WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WORKED AS A FIREFIGHTER FOR OVER 22 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN MANY WRECK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LOOK INTO THIS THAT IT COULD END UP CAUSING SEVERAL WRECKS AND WHICH COULD END UP CAUSING SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. I BOUGHT A NEW WHEEL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE OLD WHEEL WITH THE CRACK ON THE INSIDE. I WOULD SEND IT OFF TO HAVE IT TESTED FOR STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS IF I KNEW WHERE TO SEND IT TO. I THINK CHRYSLER OR THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE WHEELS HAS A DEFECTIVE METAL THAT COULD CAUSE A WRECK. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER AND MAKES CHRYSLER DOUBLE CHECK THEIR WHEELS. ALSO THEY NEED TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I KEPT A RECORD OF HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED AND WHAT FEW TIMES THEY RETURNED MY CALLS. WHEN THEY DID CALL BACK IT WAS ALWAYS AT THE CLOSE OF THEIR BUSINESS HOURS AND WOULD LEAVE A VOICE MAIL KNOWING I WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO RETURN THEIR CALL.

MY AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE APRIL HAD IT SERVICED THEN IT HAD TO BE SERVICED AGAIN IN JUNE. THE LIGHT HAS NOW COME ON AGAIN AS OF AUGUST 6,2016 NO ONE SEEMS TO TAKE THIS AS A SERIOUS MATTER MY AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AS TO WHAT THE DEALERSHIP WHO WORKED ON IT THE ISSUE IN APRIL EXPLAINED I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THIS FIXED OR GIVE ME A NEW VEHICLE THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THREE TIMES BEFORE I AM ALLOWED TO GET A NEW VEHICLE SO NOW I AM RIDING IN A CAR WITHOUT ANY AIR BAGS AND PRAYING THAT I DON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS . THE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED WHILE I AM DRIVING OR PARKING THE VEHICLE THE MESSAGE COMES ON TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V470000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND, UPON CALLING BEFORE ARRIVING, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED A SECOND APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR AUGUST 11, 2016 AND THE DEALER STATED AGAIN THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PARTS TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AT 80MPH, TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. CAR MANAGED TO GET PULLED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. LEFT FRONT TIRE SHOWED A CRACK IN THE SIDE WALL AND THE TREAD PEELING FROM THE TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, 3 OF 4 TIRES ALL SHOWED SIMILAR SIGNS OF BEING FAULTY.

AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW WEEKS, I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL HARD SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AT TIMES. IT ALSO WILL SKIP 2ND GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE WITH SHUTTER WHEN SKIPPING THAT GEAR GOING FROM 3 STRAIGHT TO 1. THERE IS ALSO SOME HESITATION WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE GAS FROM THAT GEAR SKIP. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN UPDATE OR A TRANSMISSION FIX OF SOME KIND TO FIX THIS.
