2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM KEEPS POPPING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR WHEN I FIRST TURN THE CAR ON

THE ELECTRIC PART KEEPS GOING OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I AM NOT ABOUT ABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR, UNABLE TO LET THE WINDOWS UP OR DOWN AND UNABLE TO ADJUST THE SIDE MIRRORS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS HOME TRYING TO LET THE WINDOW UP AND IT WOULD GO UP. THE NEXT TWO TIMES IT STOPPED AT WORK AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BADGE IN. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART THREE TIMES AND NOW IT IS BACK NOT WORKING

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AFTER A CERTAIN DISTANCE THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SWITCHES GEARS FROM DRIVE TO PARKING TO WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE DOESNT LET ANY GEARS TO BE SHIFTING BEING STUCK IN THE PARKING GEAR COMPUTER THEN SAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND "SERVICE PARKING BREAK" AS WELL AS "SWITCH TO PARKING THEN SELECT DESIRED GEAR" TO WHICH NO MATTER WHAT GEAR ITS SHIFTING TO IT SAYS "SELECT PARKING GEAR THEN DESIRED GEAR". NO MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE STAYS LIKE THAT UNTIL EVENTUALLY IT WILL MOVE BUT UNTIL IT REPEATS THE SAME THING AGAIN AFTER MOVING AGAIN AT A CERTAIN DISTANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES I A RESIDENTIAL STREET, AND A STORE PARKING LOT.

MY HUSBAND DRIVES THIS VEHICLE PRIMARILY ON THE FREEWAY TO AND FROM WORK 5 DAYS PER WEEK. HE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL LOOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND SHUT DOWN UPON TRYING TO MERGE ONTO FREEWAY REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE SHUT OFF. I HAVE CHECKED THE KBB DATABASE FOR ANY SUCH RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE & MODEL AND THERE IS ONE FOR THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, OUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE COMES UP AS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. WHAT CAN WE DO FROM HERE SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME REPORTED RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO.

ON AUGUST 23RD, I WAS TAKING MY SISTER IN LAW BACK HOME FROM OUR HOUSE. ON THE WAY BACK FROM HER HOUSE I DECIDED TO WASH MY 15 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN I AS DONE WITH THAT TASK AND GOT BACK IN THE CAR. I NOTICED MY BRAKES WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. I TRIED TO DO THE MAINTENANCE RELEASE THROUGH THE CAR'S RADIO AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME DO IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. SO I THEN TRIED TO TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. SO THEN I THOU MAYBE IF I DROVE IT, THEY WOULD RELEASE AND JUST AS I HIT 45MPH, THEY DID. AND STARTED TO PREFORM NORMALLY. AN HOUR LATER, I STOPPED BY MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HOUSE TO TAKE CAR OF HER DOGS LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS AND WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE. THE CAR BATTERY DIED. I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW CAUSE I DON'T LEAVE MY LIGHTS ON EVER. AND I SAT THERE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TOW IT TO THE STORE WITH CAR BATTERY AND HAD THEM SWITCHED. THEY CAME TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR. SO I WENT OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY WERE RIGHT. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE BUT I COULDN'T GET IT TO CHANGE GEARS. ON MY DASHBOARD. MY SMALL SCREEN SAID TO SERVICE THE PARK BRAKE AND I THOUGHT, WHAT THAT THE BRAKES GOT TO DO WITH IT'S TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED AND SAW MY MILEAGE, 93,568, WAS BLINKING AND MY GEAR INDICATOR AS N. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK THE HOLE TIME THEY WHERE CHANGING OUT THE BATTERY. THE SHIFTER NOB WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT I WASN'T CHANGING THE GEAR EITHER. SO AFTER THAT, I RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE, THAT'S SOMEHOW MADE THE CARE SHOW IT WAS IN DRIVE, AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HOUSE.

TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR RANDOMLY TURNED THE BREAKING BREAK ON GOING IN REVERSE I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING BUT REALLY MY CAR TURNED ON THE PARKING BREAK I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BUT IN THE SAME DAY BUT DIFFERENT TIME IT DID IT AGAIN ALSO WHEN I MEAN TURNED ON THE PARKING BREAK I MEAN IT WAS COMPLETELY ON AND STOPPED MY CAR FROM MOVING. NOW TODAY I WAS DRIVING I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WENT TO GO PULL OFF AND MY BREAKING BREAK CAME ON AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY CAR UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF SAME WITH WHEN I WENT IN REVERSE. I'M CURRENTLY ON VACATION 33 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME IN CALIFORNIA AND I'M SCARED I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR BACK AND MYSELF AND FAMILY HOME SAFELY IN THIS CAR COME SATURDAY AND HONESTLY I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE IT DOES IT RANDOMLY WITH ZERO WARNING.
