2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AT AN INTERSECTION HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DID NOT BRAKE. PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION. ACCORDING TO THE NAPLETON CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON THE 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO 5 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED WHERE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY.THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS. FOR A NEW BATTERY. SO I POPPED UP THERE WITH MY FIANC AND DROVE AROUND TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP. I GOT IN MY CAR IT STARTED RIGHT UP. MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO THE SERVICE CASHIER WHERE HE TRIED TO SAY THAT PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT. BUT I PULLED UP MY CELL PHONE PICS SHOWING IT'S THE SAME BATTERY THAT I PUT RED FINGER NAIL POLISH ON TO SHOW IT'S MY SAME BATTERY. THEY MADE ME PAY FOR ' LOOKING ST MY CAR' EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T. I NEVER BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY. I DROVE MY CAR OFF THE LOT AND THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE NOZZLE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS 'THE BATTERY'. THEY JUMPED MY CAR OFF AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE A/C IS GOING IN AND OUT AND IT SMELLS MOLDY WHEN I AM ABLE TO START THE PIECE OF SHIT. I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN THIS PASSED SUNDAY AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A CONSIGNER AND 10K DOWN. I DON'T HAVE BAD CREDIT. THEY WERE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW MY CAR ISN'T WORTH ANYTHING. THE SALESMAN ANTOINE STRONG TOLD ME IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. I HAVE 75K MILES ON MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE NIGHTMARE AFTER THE OTHER. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS CAR. OH THE DEALERSHIP I GOT THIS SHITTY CAR FROM IS LANDMARK DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN MORROW, GA. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF CAR YOU WANT THEY ONLY WANT TO PUT YOU IN A NEW CAR. THEY SEND ME THOUSANDS OF FLYERS A YEAR TO TRADE MY CAR IN BUT WHEN I DO THEY DON'T WANT IT. I WAS JUST TOLD BY ANTOINE STRONG!

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CALL WOULD STALL, LOSE POWER AND SIMPLY SHUT OFF. NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE, CITY HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADS. USUALLY AFTER 2 -3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WILL START AND PROCEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ONE TIME IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO TRY AND STOP, THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION THE SAME WHEN THE CAR IS NOT ON VERSES WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONE A SEPARATE OCCASION, IT STALLED ON THE CITY ROAD HEADED TO WORK, GOING UP A HILL AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM ON MANY REVIEW SITES FO THE CHRYLSER 200. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET SOME ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE, FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON ONE OCCASION, THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER BEGAN FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY AFTER THE UNEXPECTED SHUT OFF. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I HAVE EXPLAINED THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REFUSES TO DOCUMENT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAD SEALANTS MISSSING FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND SO IT HAD A LEAK THAT RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND ME HAVING TO FORCE THEM TO REPLACE MY CARPETING THEY LET SIT IN THE SUN FOR 2 WEEKS AND MOLD AND TO REPLACE PARTS IN MY CAR THAT THEY BROKE THE CLIPS ON TRYING TO FIND THE LEAK. SEVERAL TIMES THEY CALLED ME TO COME AND GET MY CAR WITH MOLD IN IT AND PARTS STILL HANGING. I HAD TO GET MANAGERS INVOLVED. I CAME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ONCE AND THEY SENT ME OUT ONTO THE STREET WITHOUT TIGHTENING THE LUGS AND I WAS WOBBLING DOWN THE STREET AND THEY LIED AND SAID THE PRESSURE WAS OFF BALANCE. ONCE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO OIL IT. THEY SAID IT'S LIKELY THE ENGINE. MY TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN SAYING ITS LOW SINCE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. SOON AS I PUT AIR IN, LESS THAN 24 HOURS ITS LOW. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS SOUNDED EXTREMELY LOUD. I HAD A THERMOMETER GO OUT BEFORE 3 YRS OLD. I BARELY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR RIGHT NOW. NOW MY CAR WOULDN'T STAY ON WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THURS. IT STALLED FOR A SECOND TO START UP THEN IT WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT CRANKED UP LIKE NORMAL, BUT THEN IT REFUSED TO SWITCH GEARS SAYING CHECK TRANSMISSION AND PARK SENSE AND TO PUT BACK IN PARK THEN SHIFT GEARS. AFTER THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY CHARGED TO CRANK. THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO GET A BOOST. MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON MENTIONING A THROTTLE SENSOR AND WATCHDOG PERFORMANCE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS MY BATTERY IS BAD. I AGAIN TOLD THEM MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T SENSING CORRECRTLY AND SWITCHING GEARS CUTS MY CAR OFF SOMETIMES. THE TECHNICIAN SAYS I NEED TO PAY $428 TO HAVE THEM REPLACE MY "BAD" BATTERY FIRST.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE DAY 1 AND NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FIRST IT ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, THEN IT WENT TO ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START AND NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING UP FOR MONTHS AND WILL NOT START AT ALL. IT'S READING AIRBAG SYSTEMS AND WARMING ENGINE WAIT TO START. WHEN I WAIT IT STILL WON'T START. I'M STILL PAYING AMERICAN CAR CENTER MY MONEY FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME SOMEONE WILL GET BACK WITH ME AND NEVER DO.

CAR ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. I WILL PULL OVER AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WILL THEN START BACK UP BUT DOES IT AGAIN. UPTO 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK.

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT, TRANSMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD AND TWO MESSAGES STATED PERFORMANCE SHIFTING WAS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE CAME ACROSS SCREEN. VEHICLE DISPLAYED 4TH GEAR AT ALL TIMES, PLACED IT IN PARK, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AT FIRST, EVENTUALLY CAME OUT OF PARK AND WAS STILL DISPLAYING 4TH GEAR. ARMORY CHRYSLER DEALER IN UPSTATE NY STATED IT WAS ACTUALLY STUCK IN 2ND GEAR, THEY STATED THERE WERE STORED CODES, BUT WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THEY WERE. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT THAT IT WAS PROBABLY ELECTRICAL. STILL WAITING FOR DIAGNOSTICS FROM ARMORY CHRYSLER DEALER

CAR STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL CLANKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. HAD THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLACES LOOK AT IT AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO SPITZER CHRYSLER IN BROOK PARK, OH WHO SAID IT WAS EVERYTHING BUT THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALER AS IT'S UNDRIVABLE AND LEAKED ALL IT'S TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT.
