2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER AS I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TO STOP AND SHUT IT OFF THEN RESTART THE CAR AND IT DRIVES FINE. ALSO VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING OIL. THE SHOP GUYS SAID HE USE TO WORK FOR CHRYSLER AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER 200 & 300. ALSO A FEW OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE FIXED AND NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME PARTS

EVERY TIME I NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE, I'LL HAVE TO START MY CAR FOR A HOUR AHEAD OF TIME SO IT CAN SAFELY DRIVE WITHOUT DYING. IF I TAKE OFF FROM WHATEVER LOCATION AND NOT START IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN IT WILL CONTINUE DYING ON ME AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT STARTS BACK AND RUNS FINE.

I'M GETTING A ERROR CODE ON MY CAR P2172 WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT MY VIN ISN'T COMING UP

CAR WILL NOT START. PROMPTS WARNING ENGINE PLEASE WAIT TO START VEHICLE. MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO CAUSE OF WHY.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY SETS ITSELF WHEN THE CAR IS IN SLOW DRIVE; SUCH AS BACKING UP OR SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD. LAST INCIDENT WAS 2/18/2020; HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

ABOUT DEC. 20, 2019 I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH OF MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 WHEN I STARTED IT. I WENT TO A MECHANIC TO FIX IT; BUT HE DIDN'T DO THAT KIND OF WORK AND RECOMMENDED ANOTHER MECHANIC IN A NEARBY TOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT YESTERDAY (FEB. 17, 2020). THE TROUBLE-CODE WAS: B0020-13. HE CALLED TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS, AND WAS QUOTED $1,074.00 PLUS 7% TAX AND LABOR OF $100.00. HE LOOKED ON COMPUTER AND FOUND THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE SEAT-SENSOR-HARNESS SHOULD BE CALIBRATED TOGETHER. IN OTHER WORDS, THE PRICE DOUBLES TO $2.500.00 FOR BOTH SEAT-SENSOR-HARNASSES! IT IS A "SAFETY ISSUE" THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS OLD (THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE IS APRIL 2015). WE LOOKED-UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND RECALL # 16V114000 WHICH STATES THAT IF ONE SEAT HARNESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THEN, BOTH MUST BE REPLACED AND CALIBRATED AS A SINGLE UNIT, THEREBY DOUBLING THE COST! I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND SHE SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED (ACTUALLY, THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO ONLY 78 VEHICLES). BUT AFTER TELLING HER THAT IT WAS A "SAFETY ISSUE" THAT I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR, SHE GAVE ME A "GOODWILL ASSISTANCE CASE NUMBER". I WAS TOLD THAT THEY "MIGHT" HELP; AND TO CALL MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND GIVE THAT NUMBER TO THEM. I DID SO AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL ME 'SOON'. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.. THEY DON'T LIKE TO TELL YOU MUCH; BUT I'M HOPING TO HAVE IT FIXED QUICKLY, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT MIGHT DISABLE, OR KILL, ME! THANK YOU!

MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS ONLY CAME OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE DRIVER SIDE NOT THE FRONT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS CAME OUT AT THE FRONT OF THE DASH BOARD

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS. IT WAS BOUGHT USED FROM DRIVETIME IN DULUTH GEORGIA. I WAS TOLD BY NATIONAL TIRE AND BATTERY THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO TOUCH WHEN I TOOK IT THERE FOR REPAIR, THEY RECOMMEND THAT I TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER, AT THAT TIME IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL BUT WOULD START BACK UP SO I WENT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND THEY CAR STALLED AGAIN AND GOT REALLY SLUGGISH I WAS ABLE TO MAKE OVER TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN BUFORD GEORGIA. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A TIRE SENSOR AFTER THEY PUT THE TIRE SENSOR ON IT STALLED OUT ON THEM AGAIN SO THEY THEN SAID IT NEEDED A ABS MODULAR ONCE THEY INSTALLED THE ABS MODULAR TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT STALLED ON THEM AGAIN THEN THEY SAID THEY FOUND SOME LOOSE WIRES NEAR THE TRANSMISSION THE FIXED AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. DRIVETIME THEN SENT A TOW TRUCK OVER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER IN BUFORD NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE CAR NEEDS A WIRING HARNESS AT THIS POINT TO ME THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. I PICK MY GRANDKIDS UP DAILY AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE CARS STALLS AND WE GET HIT. OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WRONG AND THEY ARE SPECULATING. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 4 MONTH ON FEBRUARY 12TH 2020 AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND CHRYSLER CAN'T EVEN REPAIR A CHRYSLER... THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. DRIVETIME IS PAYING FOR EVERYTHING SO FAR EXCEPT OUR FUNERALS GOD FORBID SOMETHING AWFUL SHOULD HAPPEN. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY 78 IN SNELLVILLE GEORGIA AND THEY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STALLED OUT. THIS IS UNSAFE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN RAMMED THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATING, SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN, GOING DOWNHILL, IN THE INTERSECTION IT HAS SHUT DOWN BUT THAT TIME IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP

WHILE DRIVING CAR WOULD WARN ME TO PUT IN PARK AND START CAR AGAIN. CAR AUTOMATIC SHUT IT'S SELF OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD (BUSY ROAD)
