2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT, AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10 MONTHS NOW, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS THAT HAS HAPPENED. WHAT I AM MOST CONCERN WITH IS, IF WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT MAY BE. I ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, AS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SOMEONE WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR TO HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT, WHICH I KNOW CAN BE AVOIDED IF IT IS TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE FOR US IS, THE CAR DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR UNTIL 30 APR 15, DUE TO THEIR OVERLOAD OF VEHICLES THAT THEY SEE ON A DAILY BASIS, WHICH NOW PUTS US AT EVEN MORE OF A RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I BOTH WORK, AND NEED BOTH CARS, BUT I WILL SACRIFICE MISSING WORK TO ENSURE SHE MAKES IT TO HER JOB SAFELY. AGAIN, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. *TR

THE CAR LUNGED WHEN IT UPSHIFTED INTO 2ND AND 5TH GEAR. IT ALSO LUNGED WHEN DOWNSHIFTING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RAM INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. BOTH ARE WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. I TOOK IT INTO A DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAYBE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT NOT MUCH. I AM SO TIRED OF MY NECK BOUNCING AROUND WHILE UPSHIFTING AND AFRAID OF AN ACCIDENT WHILE DOWNSHIFTING. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DIFFERENT DEALER LAST MONTH AND HE SAID ALL THE SOFTWARE WAS UP TO DATE AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. HE SAID I SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

I AM LEASING THE CHRYSLER 200C.I LEASED IT IN OCTOBER 2014,WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH IT WAS BACK WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT. NEXT ONE HEADLIGHT AND BACK LIGHT WOULD STAY ON WHEN CAR WAS OFF AND THEN SOMETIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHEN CAR WAS OFF.BROUGHT CAR BACK TO SERVICE DUE TO THIS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR IT WAS THE RO8 PARKROD.I WAS THEN TOLD FALSE ALARM THERE IS NO RECALL I WAS GIVEN BACK CAR.I GOT IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AND I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR SEE IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN TO BOUNCE, STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED, SPEED DROPPED TO ZERO, RPM WENT UP, AND NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER.I AM STILL TRYING TO GET CAR FIXED. *TR

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 12TH AT 5:30AM, I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-94 AT 65MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRANSMISSION. MY GAS PEDAL WAS USELESS & I HAD TO COAST OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO THE SHOULDER (I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE & THE SHOULDER THERE IS TOO NARROW). IF THIS HAD BEEN AT A DIFFERENT TIME, I WOULD HAVE NO DOUBT BEEN KILLED (AS WELL AS OTHERS I'M SURE), FOR I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE ROOM OR MOMENTUM TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER & WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND. CHRYSLER WANTS THE CAR FIXED & NOT EVEN THE DEALER KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG, CITING IT AS A 'SHOTGUN FIX'. AND, I'M ON AN EXPRESSWAY (OR TWO OR THREE) EVERYDAY. THIS CAR IS A DANGER & IT WILL NO DOUBT DO THIS AGAIN. *TR

I READ THE MANUAL FROM FIRST PAGE TO LAST WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 1) NO MENTION OF SLIDING ARM REST AND THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T LOCK IN POSITION. VERY STIFF TO MOVE FROM DRIVER POSITION, SO I WASN'T AWARE 2) WHEN ARM REST IS SLID FORWARD IT ENCROACHES OVER THE REAR CUP HOLDER. 3) WHEN CUP HOLDER/CONSOLE STORAGE COVER IS SLID BACK HALFWAY AND LOCKED IN POSITION, THE ARMREST WHEN SLID FORWARD ENCROACHES OVER BOTH CUP HOLDERS. APPEARS VERY HAZARDOUS, SO UNBEKNOWNST OF THIS FEATURE AND WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH AT TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT HAD JUST CHANGED TO GREEN, THE PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT HAD PUSHED ON THE ARM REST FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON (PROBABLY THINKING IT WAS STATIONARY). AS THE ARM REST SHOT FORWARD, IT SQUASHED AND PROPELLED MY LARGE COFFEE CUP THROUGH THE COCKPIT AREA. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT HOT, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT IT WAS A COMPLETE DISTRACTION NOT KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN. WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE WHAT THE HECK WAS HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD ALREADY BEEN BRAKING TO STOP. FOR THAT SPLIT SECOND I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO MY DRIVING FROM THE DISTRACTION, I CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. A DESIGN FLAW? MAYBE ADD A LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WITHOUT KNOWING THE SLIDING ARMREST FEATURE THAT COULD SEVER A DRINK CUP IN HALF WHILE DRIVING. I'M CALLING CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE (800) 247-9753 AND CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE (800) 853-1403 I KNOW I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS HAZARD AND I MAY SEEK COMPENSATION FOR MY DEDUCTIBLE. YEAH, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, RIGHT? *TR

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO BRENENGEN CHRYSLER FORD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN TOMAH, WI. THE SERVICE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PERFORMED WAS A SAFETY RECALL, OIL CHANGE, AND TIRE ROTATION. SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IS THE TRANSAXLE'S INTERNAL PARK ROD FOR 2015 CHRYSLER 200'S, RECALL NOTICE R08/ NHTSA 15V-090 THAT I FOUND ON MOPAROWNERCONNECT.COM. I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 8:00AM. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT 8:50AM, SAYING MY VEHICLE IS READY FOR PICK UP. I STATED THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE UP AT 4:30PM. WHEN I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP I FIND OUT THAT THE SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE WAS NOT DONE AND THE OIL LIFE MONITOR WAS NOT RESET. I CHECKED MY OIL TO SEE IF IT WAS CHANGED, IT DID NOT HAVE THE CLEAR BROWNISH COLOR THAT I WOULD EXPECT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL WAS NOT DARK BUT AGAIN NOT CLEAR, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 6000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEY WOULD DO THE RECALL. I CAME BACK AFTER AN HOUR AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS A 2 HOUR JOB. I MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK FOR THE SAFETY RECALL. I DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF THE NIGHT BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 5:00PM. I RECEIVED A VOICE MESSAGE THE NEXT DAY AT 2:30PM SAYING MY CAR IS READY FOR PICK UP. I ARRIVE AT 4:45PM TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE; AGAIN THE SAFETY RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE REASON THIS TIME IS THAT "CHRYSLER SENT THE WRONG PARTS FOR THE SAFETY RECALL." IRONICALLY ENOUGH, WHEN I GET HOME, I FIND A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. THE NOTICE SAYS THAT THE SAFETY RECALL WILL TAKE 8 HOURS AND TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT AFTER MAY 1. I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN, I BEEN THERE, ON THE DEALERSHIP SIDE AND IN EVERY DAY LIFE. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT AT LEAST DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE SAFETY RECALL. *TR
