2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM PARK THE CAR IS REVING TO 3RD AND 4TH BUT GOING SLOWLY GETTING STUCK BETWEEN THOSE TWO GEARS THEN JERKING AND GIVING DRAGGING AFFECT AFTER. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREET CAR DRAGS AFTER STOPPING AND THEN ACCELERATING. VAR FEELS AS IF IT IS FISHTAILING AND THE WHEELS ARE GETTING STUCK FOR A MIBUTE BEFORE IT JERKS BACK INTO PLACE. AIR BAG SENSOR GOES ON AND OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. WHEN IT COMES ON IT WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON FOR DAYS SOMETIMES WEEKS AT A TIME. OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN DONE REGULARLY. JUAT STARTED HAPPENING ON 6/19/2019. CAR SEEMS TO PULL AND VIBRATE EVEN HARDER WHEN THE A/C UNIT IS ON. CAR ALSO HAS A HARD VIBRATING NOISE UNDER HOOD. MILES:93,800 TRANSMISSION IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON AS OF YET.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP EITHER TURNING OR STRAIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING & THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR MOMENTUM TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH HAZARDS ON AT NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS, IN STOPPED TRAFFIC AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, FREEWAY ON RAMPS, IN THE CENTER OF SMALL & LARGE INTERSECTIONS BLOCKING TRAFFIC, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, & MORE. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 TRIES FOR THE ENGINE TO RESTART. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, & I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE A NEWER CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES DIES EVERY DAY, OFTEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY & THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY ONCE IT RESTARTS. THAT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY UPON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I DO HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS, BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF ONE OF THE VIDEOS, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY & HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THERE WERE A FEW INCIDENTS MONTHS APART, THEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, & FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

TROUBLE BEGAN IN MAY 2019. 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' COMES UP ON DISPLAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT GETS STUCK INTO A HIGHER GEAR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON WILL CLEAR THE MESSAGE AND SHIFT PROPERLY (ALBEIT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON), AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT WILL GO AWAY. EVENTUALLY BOTH THE MESSAGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY BUT EVENTUALLY (SOMETIMES MINUTES, HOURS, OR AFTER A FEW DAYS) THE TROUBLE WILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 6/15/19 AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY FAILED 2 OF 3 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY AND REPROGRAMMED THE TCM. TOTAL COST $312. THIS FIX LASTED THREE DAYS. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPT AT I10 DODGE IN INDIO, CA. FOR 8AM. THE MESSAGE AND CEL WILL OCCUR RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES AFTER IMMEDIATELY TURNING THE CAR ON, BUT MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON CITY STREETS OR THE FREEWAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M IN DRIVE MODE OR SPORT MODE. THE FACT THAT THE GEARS DO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND GET 'STUCK' INTO A HIGHER GEAR CAN BE UNSAFE.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OFTEN SLIPS/SHUTTERS WHEN ADVANCING THROUGH THE LOWER GEARS ON AN UPHILL CLIMB.

MY TRANSMISSION IS TELLING ME 'PERFORMANCE SHIFTING UNAVAILABLE' SHIFTING GEARS ON OWN
