AS WITH LAST REPORT CAR STOP SUDDENLY AND CONSOLE SAID TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. GLIDED OFF ROAD AND HAD TO RE-START. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS OLD. CAR HAS 3900 MILES. WHAT HAPPENED WAS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IN R24/NHTSA 15V-470. SERVICE REP TOOK ME ASIDE AND TOLD A STORY ALL SHOULD HEAR. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND IS FIGHTING COMPLAINTS UNDER WARRANTY IF OWNERS ARE NOT CHANGING OIL AT "REASONABLE" INTERVALS. IT ALREADY HAPPENED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP WITH A CLIENT THAT WANTED THE ENGINE REPLACED. SO WORD TO THE WISE...HE KNOWS THAT CHANGING THE OIL IS NOT THE ISSUE, BUT WAS GIVING US A HEADS UP ABOUT CHANGING THE OIL SO NOT TO VOID THE WARRANTY. SOUNDS LIKE CHRYSLER MAY NOT PLAY NICE ON THE ISSUE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE WITH THE 200. SO CHANGE YOUR OIL AND KEEP A RECORD OF IT!

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AFTER HAVING AN UPDATE DONE TO THE TCM AND PCM. THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO ISSUES BEFORE THIS OCCURRED AND NOW IT SHIFTS HORRIBLY WHILE LUNGING FORWARD COMING TO STOPS. UPON DECELERATION, IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED THEN DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR LUNGING THE CAR FORWARD. EVEN AFTER STOPPING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES LAG ON TAKE OFFS FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN TAKE OFF LIKE THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED, TWO TIMES THEY TRIED RE-UPDATING IT AND THE THIRD TIME REPLACING MY PCM BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED THIS SHIFTING. IN FACT, AFTER THE PCM REPLACEMENT, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLIP IN 8TH AND 9TH GEARS AROUND 1750 RPMS. IT WILL ALSO DELAY SHIFTING UP WHEN CLIMBING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS RUNNING AT HIGH RPMS (5000-7000). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROCESS SINCE THE FIRST UPDATE WAS PERFORMED IN THE MIDST OF FRONT HUB REPLACEMENT BACK IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER WITH NO IDEAS ON HOW TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THE CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE SHOP 7 TIMES FOR REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.

ON SATURDAY 2/27/16, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (WE HAD THE GREEN LIGHT) AND A FORD F-150 TRUCK RAN A RED LIGHT FORCING US TO T-BONE HIS TRUCK. WE WERE GOING APPROX 25 MPH AND THE TRUCK WAS GOING APPROX 40 MPH WHEN WE COLLIDED. THE AIRBAGS ON MY CHRYSLER 200 DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE AIRBAGS ON THE F-150 DID DEPLOY. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH RECEIVED HEAD, NECK AND BACK PROBLEMS FROM THIS ACCIDENT BUT THANKFULLY NOTHING EXTREMELY MAJOR. I AM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
