2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

EVER SINCE WE GOT THIS CAR, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, OFTEN VERY ROUGH. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS TELL US THIS IS HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO ACT. I THINK NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS BC NO TRANSMISSION THAT IS THIS NEW SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THE ROUGH SHIFT, SLIP, ETC LIKE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE FROM THE STOP POSITION ON THE STREET OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATES AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE. IT TAKES ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH UP WITH THE DESIRED SPEED. WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 - 55MPH OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A DISTINCT HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. A CONSTANT HUMMING SOUND. WHEN I DECREASE IN SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO ITS LOWER GEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN AUGUST OF 2017 IN HAWAII.

MY BREAKING IS IN EFFECTIVE. THE RIDE OF THE CAR IS NOT SMOOTH. WHEN TAKING IT TO GET IT SERVICED THEY TOLD ME MY MAKE AND MODEL IS ON RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING BUT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPAIRED AS IT IS EXPENSIVE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY VIN NUMBER SHOULD FALL IN THE RECALL GUIDELINES.

I AM EXPERIENCING RATTLING FROM MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL THAT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THERE ARE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRES. HOWEVER, I CAN FEEL EVERY BUMP THAT I GO OVER BUT ONLY ON THE SIDE WHERE THE BACK TIRE IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

"TAKATA RECALL". MY AIRBAG LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE LIT UP ALONG WITH THE SEATBELT LIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF WITH THE SEATBELT ON CORRECTLY AND NOTHING SITTING IN ANY OF THE PASSENGER SEATS. THE DASH DISPLAYS A MESSAGE OF "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM". WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE DASH DISPLAYS"DRIVER SEATBELT UNBUCKLED" WHILE MY SEATBELT IS BUCKLED. I HAVE CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR RECALLS AND NONE ARE CURRENTLY LISTED WITH THE NHTSA OR THE DEALERSHIP UNDER MY PARTICULAR VIN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTER AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ORC ("OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER") WAS NON RESPONSIVE.

FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THEY HAD TO CLEAN A SPOT OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND JERKING TO LANDERS DODGE OFF COLONEL GLENN ROAD.THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DOING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND THE MOBILE HADN'T BEEN BROKE IN . NEVER BUYING A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE I BELIEVE THIS MAN.. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST STARTS OFF IT JERK , STILL DOES IT TODAY. THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T A RECALL I DONT9KNOW WHY NOT IT DOES WHAT THE OTHER JERK ALL THE TIME. DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR PAYING FOR A DEFECT!!!! WHEN CHRYSLER IS AWARE!!! IT JERKS WHEN I FIRST START OFF AND PULLING STEEP HILLS.FIRST TIME I DROVE IT TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TOO. A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP STATING THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AND TO APPLY PARKING BRAKE TO PREVENT CAR FROM ROLLING. I THEN PUT THE CAR BACK IN D BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE, I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN R BUT ALSO WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS, I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THIS ALSO WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO TO ACC, I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THIS MODE UNTIL IT CUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO START IT, UPON STARTING THE CAR WAS IN P AND ALLOWED ME TO GO D AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 10 FEET OF DRIVING ON THE STREET, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT REAPPEARED, I THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE ON THE STREET AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENED IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 7 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AT LEAST 5 TIMES. EVERY TIME IT WAS EITHER A SIMPLE FIX OR THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM NOW OUT OF MY WARRANTY AND MAY BE FORCED TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION TO BE FIXED. I AM RISKING THE LIFE OF MY 4 YEAR OLD CHILD EVERY DAY I USE THIS CAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT SOMEHOW MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED.
