2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE VEHICLE HAS JUST SHUT DOWN IN MIDST OF DRIVING NO WARNING NEARLY REAR ENDED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THEN WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR IT HAS BEEN SENT FOR REPAIR TWICE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN IN FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON BUSY CITY STREETS, WHEN DRIVING OR TURNING. PLEASE HELP! THIS IS THE 3RD EPISODE 3/24/16, 4/16/16, 4/23/16

"TAKATA RECALL" ON OR ABOUT 8/25/15, I PURCHASED W/WARRANTY A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 (USED). THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE @ A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ON OR ABOUT 10/11/15. TOWED TO FULTON DODGE, JEEP, CHRYSLER, SACTO. CA. FOR "RECALL REPAIRS" I EXPERIENCED THE CAR MAKING FORWARD JERKING MOTIONS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING & COMING TO A STOP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AGAIN ON OR ABOUT NOV. 2015, I WERE AT A LOCAL GROCERY STORE WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WAS TOWED TO ELK GROVE DODGE, JEEP CHRYSLER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIRS. THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS DRIVING STARTED JERKING UPON DOWNSHIFTING AND WOULD SKIP THE #2 GEAR. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO ELK GROVE DODGE, JEEP CHRYSLER FOR FURTHER TRANSMISSION & SOFTWARE REPAIRS ON OR ABOUT DEC. 2015. SEVERAL LETTERS AND EMAILS HAD BEEN WRITTEN TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MATTER. A "LEMON LAW" COMPLAINT HAD BEEN FILED MARCH 2016, SETTLED ON OR ABOUT 4/13/16 WITH FCA., BUYING BACK THE CHRYSLER, AND REIMBURSEMENT OF PAYMENTS MADE, EXCEPT REIMBURSEMENT FOR KEEPING THE CAR INSURED, I'VE YET TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN AND WHERE TO RETURN THE "COFFIN" CHRYSLER. MY LIFE HAS BEEN IN JEOPARDY FROM DAY OF PURCHASE.

TAKATA RECALL WELL I GUESS I'LL JOIN IN WITH THE REST. MY 200 IS JUST ABOUT A YEAR OLD. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT. BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWICE WITH SAME PROBLEM. SPEEDS UP WHEN BRAKING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING ENGINE DIES AND VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN....THEN SPEEDS UP. 1ST TIME THEY DOWNLOADED AN UPDATE... 2ND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG THAT THEY COULD FIND. (ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC CODES) I LIKE MY CAR.. LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY FINALLY GET A FIX FOR THIS. THIS IS ON RURAL COUNTRY ROADS MOUNTAINOUS AND HILLY. ITBIS DANGEROUS.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR (WITH 22,000 MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY A NOISE WAS HEARD AND AS I ACCELERATED MORE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER, COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A ROAD TEST WAS COMPLETED AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT BOTH THE FRONT WHEEL HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE REPAIR AND CAR RENTAL.

YOUR AGENCY REPORTED HEADLAMPS ON MY MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE POOR TO MARGINAL IN TERMS OF VISION, AND IS SAFETY RELATED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AND HAD THE HEADLAMPS INSPECTED BY MY DEALER. DEALER, OBVIOUSLY, SAYS THEY OPERATED AS DESIGNED, BUT THE INDICATION BY NHTSA IS THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED POORLY, AND ARE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. MY 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA HEADLAMP DEPTH OF FIELD IS 30' GREATER.

THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. 35 QT IN 6000 MILES. THAT IS ALL YOU SMELL AS YOU DRIVE OR AT IDLE. THE CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH AS YOU DRIVE NOT GOOD FORM MY 5 YR AND 3 YR OLD NECKS WHEN ITS JERKING THEM BACK AND FORTH. AS WE BRAKE THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GIVING GAS TO GO. THE CAR HAS DIED AT STOP SIGNS IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY WHILE ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

FRONT END COLLISION OCCURRED ON APRIL 5 2016. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 49 MPH AND CAUSED A 6 CAR CRASH. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. LAFONTAIN OF SALINE AND CHRYSLER HQ WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS.. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS LEASE.

I WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE STREET, WHEN I FELT LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR ETC, MIL, AND ETC INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. TRANSMISSION GOES INTO STALL MODE, DOES NOT GO OVER 30 MPH, SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING EXCESSIVELY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 10 MONTHS. NOW IF THIS WAS TO HAVE OCCURRED ON A WEEKDAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
