2016 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

MY CAR IS STRUGGLING WITH STARTING. MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. FIRST TRIP TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED IT NEEDED A COMPUTER UPDATE. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AFTER THE COMPUTER UPDATE AND BEGIN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. GIVES ME A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE. IT'S ONLY AT 67,000 MILES AND I HAVENT OWNED IT A YEAR. VERY FRUSTRATED. IT IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW!

2016 CHRYSLER 200 S WITH 94,000 MILES SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN GEARS, OFTEN FEELING/SOUNDING LIKE IT IS SLAMMING INTO GEAR. IT SURGES WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AND BUCKS AND JERKS DURING RAPID ACCELERATION.

TAKATA RECALL, AIR BAG ICON STAYS ON. GAS CAP ICON STAYS ON. UPON CRUSE CONTROL, TO CONTINUE AT THE PREVIOUS SPEED ON INCLINE , THE BRAKES AND DASH LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AS K WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN TRAFFIC AND WOULDN'T START BACK. CAR HAS 66K MILES. AFTER GETTING A JUMP WE GOT CAR HOME AND HOOKED BATTERY TO A CHARGER. NEXT TIME I WENT TO DRIVE IT IT DIED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED BACK BUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BLINKS ON AND OFF AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS START GOING ON AND OFF. CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WILL JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING AND WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL BLINKING IT DOESN'T SHOW ACCURATE SPEED. PLEASE RECALL THIS CAR BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE!

AT TIMES WILL NOT START . ENGINE DIES WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION LOSES POWER THEN AFTER RESTING IT WILL GO AGAIN THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT STALLS AGAIN.

WITHIN 1 MILE, MY CAR SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE SCREEN ON THE DASH SAID TO 'SHIFT TO P TO START'. I DID SO, AND THEN IT SOUNDED AS IF MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START BACK UP AND TOOK ME THREE TRIES THE FIRST TIME AND TWO THE SECOND TIME TO GET IT STARTED. NOW LOOKING INTO IT THESE CARS HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THEM BEING MADE, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

TL- A MECHANIC CALLED ON BEHALF OF AN OWNER OF A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT WITHIN THE PAST MONTH HE HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL VEHICLE OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAVE HAD DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIR BAGS. ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG'S JUMPER HARNESS BECOMES DISABLED WHICH DEEMS THE AIR BAG INEFFECTIVE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE VEHICLE WHICH LED THE OWNER TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED. THE MECHANIC CALLED A DEALERSHIP(ALLEN SAMUELS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF JACKSON 1623 US 45 BYP, JACKSON TN 38305, 731-664-8400) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THAT MATTER WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN(10-002-18) AND NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ON THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE MECHANIC TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,306. JO

A CODE CAME UP FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SQUIB. SHOP FOUND A RELATED TSB BUT WILL REQUIRE DIAGNOSTIC AND POSSIBLY DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT SEATS. ALSO NOTED THERE ARE MULTIPLE MODULES THAT NEED UPDATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM MARSH CHRYSLER JEEP (8575 W CENTENNIAL PKWY, LAS VEGAS, NV 89149, (702) 946-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. Dealer has fixed the problem (supposedly) concerning the computer malfunctions. Now there is an air bag problem which will be taken to the dealer Friday. Transmission continues to jolt and almost stall out.

THE TRANSMISSION WILL CHANGE GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. CAUSE MY CAR TO JERK SHAKE AND UNUSUAL LONG DELAY TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES EVEN REV HIGH WHILE PROLONGED DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATING. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE SITUATIONS THAT MADE THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLE AND A HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER MOTORIST.
