2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

CAR'S ENGINE STALLS AT MAIN ROAD FOR NO REASON. IT WOULD NOT START UP AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP, DEALER TESTED THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, DID THE SAME THING AGAIN TODAY WITH THE EXEMPTION THAT IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY GOING IN REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO BACK IN PARKING AND THE ENGINE STALLED AFTER 2 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR SHIFT BETWEEN P ANS S MODE. CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER THAT HAPPENED AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OPERATOR SAID THE IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO REMOTE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CAR HAD NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT OR WARNING MESSAGE THAT IF IT HAPPEN AGAIN TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC FOR CODE SCANNING. TOOK THE CAR TO ADVANCE AUTO PART STORE AND IT SHOW CODE "P0975 POWER TRANSMISSION SOLENOID B CONTROL CIRCUIT RANGE /PERFORMANCE" DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD AT HIGHER SPEED BECAUSE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPONSE MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 45 MPH, THE TRANMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE AND DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHILE THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SLOW TO A STOP. THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MESSAGES APPEARED. IT REQUIRED ME TO STOP MY CAR, RESTART IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IT ALSO GETS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR (LIMP HOME MODE) WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN YOU STOP AND IT PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCELERATING AT THE RATE OF TRAFFIC. IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE UP HILLS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE BYPASS MY SUNROOF EXPLODED SHATTERING GLASS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET GOING 25 MPH AND WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON GAS PEDAL IT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION JERK AND STALLED FOR A SECOND AND THEN STARTED DRIVING NORMAL. I JUS BOUGHT THIS CAR ON APRIL 29 2015 AND IT'S AND IT'S DOING THIS ALREADY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A TWO LANE HWY DOING ABOUT 50-55MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST THROTTLE CAPABILITY AND BASICALLY I WAS NOW COASTING ON A WINDY AND HILLY ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AT A SAFE PLACE BEFORE I STOPPED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND THOUGH THE SELECTOR STILL INDICATED "P" IT WAS REALLY IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARD. MY PARKING BRAKE WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT FIRST EITHER. I HELD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AT THIS POINT I WAS CONCERNED I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE. AS I WAS TALKING WITH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE I KEPT TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND/OR ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. FINALLY THE PARKING BRAKE WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I THEN DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE TRANSMISSION DEFAULTED TO PARK. SO NOW I WAS SAFE TO EXIT. ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WAITED NEARLY 3 HOURS FOR A TOW.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS COMPLAINT SHOWN BELOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MAY 7,2015. ORIGINALLY INFORMED BY THE DEALER WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT TRANSAXLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MAY 20,2015 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE EARLIEST THEY CAN GET A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE JUNE 26,2015 AND POSSIBLY AS FAR OUT AS AUGUST OF 2015. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP. REPAIR AND RETURN IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. "RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSAXLE PARK ROD LATE APRIL 2015. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHERE INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL AFTER MAY 1, 2015 NEEDED A SPECIFIC TOOL THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED. THEY DID INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AFTER MAY 1ST. ON MAY 7, 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN SHE SAID THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AND WARNING BELLS STARTED GOING OFF. THE WARNING SAID "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" THEN WOULD FLASH TO "SHIFT TO PARK AND ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE". THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM. THIS MESSAGE CONTINUED OVER AND OVER. SHE HAD TO GO OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE SHE COULD GET TO THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE SPOT. SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT HAD TO DODGE TRAFFIC. ONCE SHE WAS STOPPED THE SHIFTER DIAL WAS STILL LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE, SHE MOVED IT TO PARK BUT STILL WAS LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SHE PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SHIFTER DIAL NOW SHOWED TO BE IN PARK, SHE TRIED TO SHIFT TO ALL THE OTHER GEARS, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE DIAL STILL SHOWED IT WAS IN PARK."

CHRYSLER 200C AWD. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT SUDDENLY MY DASH LIT UP WITH THE RED "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE THEN "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" AND "SERVICE PARK BRAKE". I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT AT ALL, THE SELECTOR WOULD STAY IN "P" OR THE LIGHT ON THE SELECTOR WOULD GO FROM "P" TO "S" DIRECTLY BYPASSING "N" AND "D" WITH JUST ONE TWIST BUT THE CAR WOULD STAY IN PARK. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND STARTING TO WAIT AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A TOW I DECIDED TO TRY A ELECTRONIC "REBOOT" BY DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL IN THE BATTERY. AFTER LEAVING IT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN RECONNECTING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "D" AND GET MOVING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ILLUMINATED AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, NOTHING HAPPENED. I RETURNED IT TO TO PARK AND THEN DRIVE AGAIN..............STILL NOTHING! I PRESS THE GAS WHILE IN DRIVE. ...............NOTHING FOR A LITTLE WHILE ,AND THEN SUDDENLY A LOUD NOISE AND I SUDDENLY DART OF MY DRIVE WAY!!! SINCE DAY ONE WITH THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION, SLOW REACTION WHEN PRESSING GAS AND VEHICLE EXCELS WHILE I'M NOT PRESSING THE GAS! THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS! I'M CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY!
