THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 11/19/15*LJ UPDATED 1/14/2016 *JS

THE CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND WENT INTO PARK SLAMMING THE CAR STOPPED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO STAR DODGE IN ABILENE. PINS WERE REPAIRED. AGAIN AT 14172 MILES THE CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH. THIS TIME IT DID NOT GO AUTOMATICALLY INTO PARK (THANK GOD). NEAR ACCIDENT AS THIS WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER COASTING TO THE SHOULDER, THE CAR DID START AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO ALLEN SAMUELS CHRYSLER IN FORT WORTH. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND TIGHTENED THE PINS AGAIN. NO ONE WITH CHRYSLER CAN ASSURE US THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. ACCORDING TO LEMMONAUTO.COM THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER 200'S. CHRYSLER CORP CASE MANAGER DAWN (214)689-7958 WILL ONLY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I'VE EXPLAINED THAT IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER 2X NOW, NO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I WILL NOT LET IN THIS CAR BECAUSE IT'S A DEATH TRAP. THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB. WHO KNOW WHEN IT WILL STALL AGAIN, BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING, AND WHO KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN, NOT IF, BUT WHEN THIS OCCURS. CHRYSLER IS THUS FAR REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE JUST NEED THEM TO TRADE THIS CAR. WE NEED THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF 200 OWNER'S ARE HAVING.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND LOSES ALL POWER AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. IT STAYS IN DRIVE. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START AND IS STUCK IN DRIVE. YOU ARE UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO PUT IT IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE BEFORE IT WENT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEN AGAIN THE DAY AFTER IT WAS PICKED UP FROM BEING REPAIRED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THEY DID AN R08 RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED OR KILLED WITH THIS CAR. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. DEALERSHIP THINKS IT MAY BE ANOTHER RECALL R24 THAT CAME OUT THREE DAYS AGO BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. I NOW HAVE NO VEHICLE AT ALL AND DO NOT KNOW FOR HOW LONG!

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN AT A RED LIGHT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON, TRANSMISSION AND PARK BREAK SERVICE LIGHTS GO ON AND AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I PUT MY CAR ON PARK TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE . MY CAR THEN KEPT CHANGING SHIFTS. AS AN ATTEMPT TO GET MY CAR HOME WHICH IS ONLY 7 MIN FROM WORK I DROVE IT SLOWLY AND EVERY STOP I MADE MY CAR WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 2-3 MINUTES TO ACCELERATE. AS I ARRIVED HOME THE STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD AND DISPLAYED A WARNING TO PUT EMERGENCY BREAK TO PREVENT FROM ROLLING.IT THEN DISPLAYED SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARK BREAK, SERVICE ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING ABOUT A RECALL FOR MY CAR.

2015 CHRYSLER 200. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT PASSENGER TIRE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS BROTHER WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, WHEN ANOTHER MOTORIST SCRAPED/CLIPPED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE. BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME OUT CAUSING THE ENTIRE WHEEL TO DISCONNECT AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSING THE FRAME TO COLLAPSE ONTO THE TIRE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (TATE DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS STILL THERE SINCE THE INCIDENT ON AUGUST 1ST BECAUSE I WILL NOT DRIVE IT AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT.

I HAVE REQUESTED CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE OR ME. ISSUE IS TRANSMISSION SELECTOR KNOB. SAFETY COMPLAINT: JUST BELOW THE RADIO AND AT THE FORWARD POSITION OF THE CENTER CONSOLE IS WHERE THE AC FAN CONTROL KNOB IS LOCATED, 3 INCHES BELOW THAT, IS THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR KNOB. BOTH ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE AND SHAPE. THE KNOB HAS ONE SAFETY FEATURE THAT REQUIRES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BE DEPRESSED BEFORE THE POSITION FROM PARK TO R N D L IS SELECTED. ONCE IN MOTION (FORWARD) THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR KNOB CAN BE PLACED IN REVERSE WITHOUT ANY WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN THE REVERSE POSITION WHILE DRIVING FORWARD, OTHER THAN A TINY R SYMBOL LOCATED BETWEEN TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND A YELLOW DASH MARK UNDER THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR KNOB THAT INDICATES WHICH POSITION THE TRANSMISSION IS IN. MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE WE WOULD REACH DOWN AND TURN THE AC KNOB COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO REDUCE AC FAN OUTPUT WITHOUT REALIZING WE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP IT WILL BE IN REVERSE ,STEP ON THE GAS AND YOU ARE GOING BACKWARDS WITH LITTLE TIME TO REACT. WE HAVE SEVERAL CHILDREN, TEENS AND TOTS. IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO WHILE IN A SCHOOL ZONE PICKING UP YOUR CHILD WHILE OTHERS ARE CROSSING IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS DESIGN REQUIRE A PUSH DOWN AND TURN SAFETY FEATURE THAT WORKS. I UNDERSTAND AS A 45 YEAR DRIVER AND OWNER OF MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS THAT ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE THE DRIVERS. BUT YOU WILL SOON SEE THAT THIS DESIGN WILL KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE. IT IS VERY EASY FOR THE PASSENGER TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WITHOUT THE DRIVER BEING AWARE. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH OUR TEEN. SHE BUMPED THE KNOB SOME HOW AND IT WAS IN REVERSE, CAME TO A STOP AND TOOK OFF IN REVERSE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND AT THE TIME. 1 RECALL 6 SERVICE VISITS. DARWIN
