2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FAILED. AS A RESULT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED WITH THE VEHICLE STARTED, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A CURB. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH THE 200C JERKED FORWARD AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. ALL LIGHTS ON THE GEAR CONTROL WERE LIT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. THE SYSTEM SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE WERE UNABLE TO DO ANY OF THIS BECAUSE THE CARE WAS STUCK IN DRIVE SO WE WERE UNABLE TO EVEN PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFE AREA. WE WAITED 20 MINUTES IN HOPE THAT THE CAR WOULD RESET ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT AND WE WERE ADVISED BY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO RESET THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT HAVE A WRENCH IN THE CAR IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WE HAD TO FLAG SOMEONE DOWN FOR A WRENCH. VERY SURPRISED THAT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DID NOT COME OUT TO HELP WITH THE SITUATION. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND WAITING ABOUT 1 MINUTE THE CAR RESET AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WE NOW DRIVE WITH A WRENCH IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHEN I CALLED FOR SERVICE CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE!!! THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE CARS WERE FLYING OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND COULD HAVE REAR ENDED US. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE STUCK IN DRIVE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN PUSH THE CAR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL UNTIL TODAY WHEN I HEARD FROM THEIR MANAGER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT TO BRING THE CAR IN AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO.

HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AFTER 4 TIMES TO DEALER SHIP FOR SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD CAN'T DUPLICATE OR DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. CHRYSLER HAS OPENED UP 2 CASES AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. THEY DECLINED TO BUYOUT THE VEHICLE OR REPLACEMENT. I GET SAME STORY, BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WE ARE SORRY. NO YOU WILL BE SORRY WHEN MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE INJURED IN THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIME OF BROKEN DOWN ON ROAD AND HAVING DUMP TRUCK OR 18 WHEELERS DODGING MY CAR TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. THEY HAVE REPLACED COMPUTER, TRANSMISSION PARTS AND SENSORS. I TRULY BELIEVE IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED. NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I URGE EVERYONE TO AVOID THESE CARS, UNSAFE AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE!!!

NOTICED THAT MY FRONT BUMPER IS WARPING AWAY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS AND IS ALSO DAMAGING THE BODY PAINT AS A RESULT OF FLEXING WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS NOW THE 4TH ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE TO GO ALONG WITH MY MULTIPLE REPAIRS FOR BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, AND ESIM (FUEL SYSTEM).

I WAS STOPPED AT STOP SIGN WHEN I TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT COULDN'T GET TRACTION WITH BACK TIERS IT FELT LIKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE LOCKED UP AND IT JERKED BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR. I STOPPED BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAPPENED ON 8-28-15. ON 8-29-15 WAS IN A DRIVE THRU AND WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND I PUT IN DRIVE IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND FROM ENGINE AND CAR JERKS SOMEWHAT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT HESITATES TO GO. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION TO GO, AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK IF THE TIRE THING HAPPENS AGAIN.
