2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I HAVE RECALL NOTICE 15V-470 IN WHICH I HAVE CONTACTED GLADSTONE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT "THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR" IS UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND HAVE CONTACTED GLADSTONE DODGE ON 2/2/16/ 2/12/16, AND NOW AGAIN ON 4/4/16. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT ABLE TO TAKE NAMES AND CONTACT CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO ORDER THE PARTS

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE FIRST DAY I LEASED THE VEHICLE (3/27/2015). THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH UP AND DOWN. IT WILL ALSO JUMP GEARS ON THE DOWNSHIFT AND PROPEL THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE. THE ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT AND IT HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES JUST LAST WEEK. A CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE OTHER LISTED ISSUES STILL EXIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND RELEASED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOT 6 MONTHS LATER THEY DID A RECALL ON IT. AFTER THIS THE CAR WOULD ALWAYS COMPLETELY SKIP SECOND GEAR WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. SO BAD THAT IT SHUTTERS BACK AND FORTH WHEN STOPPING, WHICH STARTLES ME AND SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO RUN INTO PEOPLE OR OBJECTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TELL ME IT'S FINE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE ALL AGREE THAT IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO COVER THIS UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A SLOW ROLL, A YIELD, AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE CAR SHIFTS ERRATICALLY. THE CAR WILL BE IN 3RD GEAR, WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN SECOND GEAR BUT IT WON'T DOWNSHIFT, THE CAR WILL LITERALLY PROPEL YOU WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT SHIFTS INTO FIRST LIKE YOU'RE IN A RACE CAR. AT THIS POINT IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN BEING IN THE LANE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE IN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BUT ALSO NOBODY WANTS TO RIDE IN MY NEW CAR BECAUSE THE RIDE IS SO ROUGH. IT'S APPOINTING AND ABSOLUTELY UNETHICAL THE WAY CHRYSLER IS TREATING ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH MONEY I SAVED FROM DEPLOYING TO AFGHANISTAN AND ALL FOR NOTHING. WHEN I THINK ABOUT TRADING THE CAR IN, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME EVEN LESS MONEY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE IT SHIFTS HOW IT DOES EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SAYS IT'S SHIFTING AS INTENDED. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS EXTREMELY ERRATIC SHIFTING FOR A YEAR NOW. ALSO WHEN YOU'RE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND DON'T STOP COMPLETELY THE CAR WILL DO A BURNOUT AT TIMES, OBVIOUSLY LAUNCHING YOU FORWARD. IN THE SNOW AND ICE THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT VIOLENTLY AND CAUSING THE CAR TO START SLIDING DOWN HILLS. ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS FROM 2-5 MPH.

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE MONTH TWO, TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE TOLD A VARIETY OF REASONS WHY THE CAR ISN'T WORKING. CAR STOPPED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WOULDN'T START OR MOVE (WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR BOTH TIMES). CURRENTLY CAR WILL SPEED UP WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, ALSO CAR TRANSMISSION THUDS INTO GEAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR IS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART. BEEN TOLD THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CAR IS CLEARLY UNSTABLE, UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V470000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER RECALL I CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR RECALL TO BE FIXED THEY TOLD ME EACH TIME THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN FROM MANUFACTURER. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR LONGER THAN 3 MONTHS. THEY SAID THE PUT MY NAME ON FOR CALL WHEN PART COMES IN BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAN CAUSE A CRASH AND MY YOUNG SON DRIVES THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS BROWN DAUB OFF HECKTOWN ROAD IN EASTON PA

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL NOW THE GEARS DONT SHIFT RIGHT IT VIBRATES AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD ON ITS OWN AND TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET SOMETIMES IN REVERSE I TALKED TO CHRYSLER THEY HAD ME BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE FRONT AXLE CAME APART I HAD IT TOWED THEY FIXED THE AXLE BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION NO FIX IS AVAILABLE IS WHAT THEY SAID THEN THE LEFT AXLE STARTED POPPING I TOOK IT BACK THE LEFT STRUT HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT STILL NO FIX FOR TRANSMISSION AND ITS GOTTEN WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE JERKED WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. IN ADDITION, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, IT JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V470000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,185.
