2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANMISSION ISSUES I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT 3 TIMES TO DO AN UPDATE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL SHIFTING ROUGH IN 30 OR 40 MPH IT ONLY HAS 5000 MILES

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR IS POWERING OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING CAR TO STOP. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT NOT ON MY VIN NUMBER. THIS IS VERY DANDEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPS

TOOK MY PERFECTLY DRIVING 200 IN FOR AN OIL SERVICE AND TIRE ROTATION. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE (NO DETAILED EXPLANATION SO I ASSUMED IT WAS THE RADIO SECURITY) NOV 21TH, 2015. I WAITED FOR THE SERVICE TO BE COMPLETED AND UPON DRIVING HOME NOTICED THE CAR ACTING WEIRD, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT DOWN SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND LUNGING FORWARD TERRIBLY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE SOFTWARE FLASH WOULD TAKE 1,000 MILES-WHAT? SOUNDS LIKE BULL S**T TO ME BUT I DROVE IT OVER 1500 MILES FOR CHRISTMAS IN IN WITH EVERYONE RIDING ALONG ASKING WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY CAR! I CONTACTED THE DEALER UPON MY RETURN AND AFTER SOME EXCUSES AND A SERVICE MANGER WITH AN ATTITUDE IT NOW GOES BACK IN JAN 9TH, 2016 BUT THEY ARE ALREADY TRYING TO BLOW IT OFF.....DROVE PERFECT TILL MY DEALER AND FCA SCREWED IT UP! IF THEY EVEN ATTEMPT TO TELL ME IT NEEDS TO REFLASH OR ITS MY DRIVING STYLE I WILL IMMEDIATELY REQUEST A TEST DRIVE IN A NEW ONE AND VIDEO IT. UPDATE FROM DEC 31, 2015 FCA TELLS ME MY CAR HAD THE TCM AND PCM UPDATED WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. UPDATE FROM FEB 8, 2016 WELL AFTER TWO MORE VISITS......THIS CAR STILL DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT CORRECTLY WITHOUT A LURCH FORWARD BETWEEN 2ND AND 1ST. SOME NICE PIECES OF CRAP YOU HAVE BUILT IN DETROIT CHRYSLER! FEB 25,2016-CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LUNGING FORWARD WHILE TRYING TO STOP BUT NO KNOWN REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. KEEP DRIVING IT! ITS A SAFETY HAZARD AND INJURY WAITING TO HAPPEN.

SAME ISSUE AGAIN AS REPORTED ON 2/13/2016. CAR SHUT DOWN. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND MESSAGE SAYS TO PLACE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND START THE CAR. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THE CAR RE-STARTS. THIS IS A COMMON TREAD WITH OWNERS OF THIS CAR MODEL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL BUILT EARLIER IN 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20 TO 70 MPH, THE STEERING LOCKED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TWICE, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND TO SEEK HELP WITH THE LEMON LAW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE BACKING UP, THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING / RUBBING NOISE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. IT STARTED WITH JUST 1,200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WHICH CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT FIND.

DRIVING ON I-75 OUTSIDE OF DETROIT WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND FRONT SEATING AREA. CAR HAS ONLY 4,000 AND HAS ONLY DRIVEN IN METRO AREA SINCE PURCHASED A FEW MONTHS AGO. OUR LIVES WERE ENDANGER AND SAVED WITH THE HELP OF OTHER MOTORISTS UNTIL FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. FREEWAY WAS CLOSED AND INCIDENT ON TV THAT NIGHT. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,314.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING. YESTERDAY DRIVING HOME DURING MY COMMUTE, IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN NYC THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THIS WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS RUSH HOUR, I WAS AT THE TIME, PASSING A SHORT BRIDGE WHICH OFFERED NO SHOULDER FOR ME TO PULL OVER. CONFUSED AND BEWILDERED, I FELT FEARFUL SOMEONE MY NOT SEE ME AND SLAM BEHIND ME. I QUICKLY PUT MY FOUR WAYS AND LITERALLY PUT MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW FRANTICALLY WAVING TRAFFIC AROUND THE DISABLED VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO RE-POSITION THE GEAR KNOB FROM DRIVING TO PARK, THE LIGHT INDICATOR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE DRIVE POSITION ALTHOUGH THE KNOB DID ROTATE TO THE PARK POSITION. AFTER 5 MINUTES OR SO, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BY PRESSING ON THE IGNITION BUTTON AND LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY, ALTHOUGH THIS TYPE OF EVENT COULD HAD HAD A VERY DIFFERENT RESULT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ON 02/04/2016, AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT THE FOLLOWING DAY. I NOTICED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. DURING DECELERATION PRECEDING A FULL STOP, THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BUCK FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND SUBSTANTIALLY, WHICH COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO ANY PERSON OR OBJECT THAT MAY APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT A MOMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT HAS SLOWED TO A POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO MAKE NO FURTHER FORWARD MOMENTUM. THIS, ALONG WITH THE CONSTANT ANNOYANCE OF ANTICIPATING AND EXPERIENCING AN UNCONTROLLED FORWARD MOVING THRUST, COMPELS ME TO FILE THIS REPORT. PLEASE NOTE THAT I RETURNED THIS VEHICLE FOLLOWING MY COMPLAINT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT IN FACT CONTINUES TO WORSEN WITH CONTINUED USE.
