2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

SHIFTING IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C AWD IS HORRIBLE. THE ROUGH SHIFTING IS USUALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 3RD OR LATER GEARS. THE ROUGH SHIFTING HAS CAUSED ME TO THINK THAT I WAS REARED ENDED BUT ITS JUST THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ROUGH SHIFTING OCCURS, I MUST BE EXTRA CAREFUL BECAUSE MY CAR WILL JERK WHILE ON GOING OVER 50 MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AS NO LIGHT WAS ON. I HAVE OWED MY VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 3 YEARS NOW AND THIS WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM. IT WAS SHIFTING ROUGH WHEN I BROUGHT IT WITH 10K MILES ON IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWER VEHICLE AS IT WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. I AM CURRENTLY AROUND 57500 MILES NOW AND IT STILL OCCURS. I HAVE READ MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING ON THE NEW 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

A LIGHT IS ON THAT IS CALLED SERV AWD. I LOOKED IT UP WHICH MEANS SERVICE THE AWD. I NOTICED IT BEFORE I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP JULY 2020 FOR MY YEARLY INSPECTION AND EMISSIONS STICKER AS REQUIRED BY MY STATE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT MENTION TO ME THAT THE SERV AWD WAS ON. I KNOW THAT MY AWD IS CURRENTLY DISABLED.

CAR HAS SERV AWD LIGHT ON HAD ONE SHOT REPLACE A MOTOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRANSFER CASE BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO SPORT NEXT I BROUGHT IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR NEAR THE MOTOR THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AND IT DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. MY CAR JERKS FORWARD MID BREAKING IN THE RPM SURGE ALSO MY TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO DOWNSHIFT IN THE FIRST THREE GEARS I BELIEVE IT IS AND LOSES COMPRESSION WHEN GOING UP SOME HILLS POWER TO THIS VEHICLE AS IN THE TORQUE OR HORSEPOWER IS VERY INCONSISTENT SOMETIMES IT FEELS SLUGGISH OTHER TIMES IT JUST WANTS TO GO . SHOPS REPORT BRAKE SURGE IS NORMAL. ALSO HAD SPORATIC HARD PEDAL, MASTER CYLINDER IS OK. BRAKE PEDAL CLICKS AND FEELS UNSTABLE. THE STEERING RACK FEELS LOOSE AND DANGEROUS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR. BRAKE PEDAL ARMS RUSTED CARS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT WITH NO PRIOR FLOOD DAMAGE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH AN ALARM SOUNDING EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE CONNECTION ONLY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE WIRING AND AIRBAG JUMPERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3200 OR THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK.
