2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. UPSHIFTS 2 TO 3 ARE HARSH AND SOMETIMES SLAMS IN AFTER WAITING TOO LONG TO SHIFT. WORST, THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DOWNSHIFTING FROM 5 TO 4 (NO FOOT ON THE THROTTLE). THIS IS REPEATABLE CONSISTENTLY. SEVERAL TIMES NOW DURING QUICK STOPS (I.E. SOMEONE WALKS OUT ON THE ROAD) THE VEHICLE HAD A BURST OF ACCELERATION WHILE HARD BRAKING. DEALER ADVISES NOTHING THEY CAN DO - CHRYSLER REP TOLD THEM TO TELL CUSTOMERS "THIS IS NORMAL". UNFORTUNATELY THE UNEXPECTED BURST OF ACCELERATION IS NOT REPEATABLE WHEN NEEDED. VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAS GONE THROUGH 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. NOTE: I DO NOT BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT. DURING BRAKING THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 200S. IN MAY 2015 I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE RECALL WORK DONE AND AN OIL CHANGE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP JERRY ULM CHRYSLER OF TAMPA AND THIS IS WHERE MY NIGHTMARE BEGINS. SHORTLY AFTER THIS VISIT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND 3 DAYS AFTER THIS THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION. I PICKED UP MY CAR AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CAR HESITATING AND IT WOULD ALMOST FEEL LIKE IF I WAS DRIVING A 20 YEAR OLD CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY STATED THAT SEVERAL OTHER THINGS WERE CORRECTED. THE CAR STILL HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN YOU DRIVE, I TOOK IT BACK FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A TECH. AFTER THE TEST DRIVE HE STATED "THE JERKY DRIVE IS NORMAL WITH THIS CAR". AS I TOLD HIM, IF THE CAR DROVE THIS WAY WHEN I TEST DROVE IT, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM FROM THE GM AT JERRY ULM CHRYSLER OF TAMPA AND TO DATE I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE POORLY AND THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LETTER D STARTED TO FLASH AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. I WASNT ABLE TO POWER OFF THE CAR OR TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR FOR ALMOST 2 MINS. IT STOPPED FLASHING AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND I POWERED IT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINS, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS WORKING AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD HEARD A NOISE WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND CONTINUE HEARING NOISE WHEN HITTING BUMPS. THEN ON SATURDAY MORNING NOTICED BRAKE GRINDING NOISE THEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHEN DRIVING HOME THE CALIPER CAME OFF AND DAMAGED MY RIM. WHEN I JACKED CAR UP TO INSPECT I NOTICED THE RETAINING BOLTS FOR THE CALIPER MISSING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE STOPPING, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO DETECTED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,296.

ON A FEW OCCASIONS GOING DOWN HILL ON A HIGHWAY, THERE IS AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL STALL INTO GEAR GOING DOWNHILL AS WELL. THE ENGINE WILL BE AT VERY HIGH RPM FOR THE SPEED I GO WHICH IS 45-50. OFTEN WHEN I BACK OUT IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES MAKE A HUMMING NOISE.

PURCHASED CARD IN JULY 2014. FIRST OCCURRENCE, 5 APRIL; 2ND OCCURRENCE, 1 MAY; 3RD OCCURRENCE, 15 MAY. WHILE SLOWING DOWN (APPROX. 45MPH) TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. HAD TO MOVE TO SLOWER LANE, STOP, SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN TO DRIVE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 HOURS, HAZARDOUS ROAD WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. DEALER HAS CHANGED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, TESTED "PIN CONNECTIVITY", CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP, CAR STILL IN THE SHOP. EACH TIME THE DEALER TEST DROVE IT, THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME CONDITIONS. NOT SURE OF NEXT STEP.

WHILE DRIVING CAR HOME ON MY FIRST DAY FROM THE DEALER THE ENGINE STALLED AT 40 MPH I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RE-START THE CAR, START DRIVING AGAIN THINKING NOTHING OF IT IT STALLED AGAIN AND AGAIN 2 BLOCKS FROM HOME. NEXT MORNING BRINGING BACK TO DEALER IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON REVERSE GETTING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. ONLY 100 MILES ON NEW CAR AND IT'S AT THE DEALER FOR MAJOR ISSUE, I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR SPECIAL WITH MY 5 YEAR DAUGHTER IN IT. THIS COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING TRAFFIC HOURS..... AT THE MOMENT I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT'S WAS FIST TIME THAT THEY HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 200C.
