2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

HAD A CONSTANT LEAK OF OIL. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS THE OIL COOLER GASKET HOUSING THAT HAD A LEAK DUE TO A CRACK OR DEFECTIVE GASKET HOUSING. THE OIL COOLER HAD TO BE REPLACE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR AND ENGINE MODEL BY OTHER MECHANICS. HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. ALSO, THE "THROTTLE BODY ELECTRONIC MODULE SERVICE REQUIRED" INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE CITY OF MCKINNEY (972-569-9650, LOCATED AT 700 S CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75070) AND WAS KEPT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS GOING UP ODDLY FAST AND THEN I WOULD GET TO ALERTS SIMULTANEOUSLY 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT' AND 'SERVICE ELEC. THROTTLE CONTROL' I TURN OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO DOWN. I'M NOT SURE HOW CONCERNED I SHOULD BE OR IF THIS IS A COMMON ERROR.

VEHICLE HAS AROUND 35,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH SLOW ACCELERATION AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. IF I AM APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND I START TO SLOW TO STOP, THE CAR WILL JERK TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE BRAKE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR JERKS TO THE POINT THAT IF I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD MOST LIKELY HIT THEM. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE RPM NEEDLE WAS PAST 4 AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD SOUND. I TRIED TO GO SLOWER BUT THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO AN INTERSTATE, THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SPEED UP. IT WILL BE STUCK AROUND 50-55 AND I REALLY HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO SPEED UP. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND ONCE WHILE PULLING IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RELATING THE A TRANSMISSION ERROR I GOT AS WELL AS A COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR AND MENTIONED THE ISSUES WITH THE JERKING AND STALLING BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE OR GET A CODE. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS A BIT ALARMING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO START GIVING ISSUES.

AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES DRIVING FUNCTION MOMENTARILY AND THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MOVE THE CAR FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN HEAVILY TO GET THE CAR TO TRAVEL AT A LOW SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THIS NORMALLY LAST FOR A WHILE THEN STOPS. A CODE READER SAYS 'HIGH SPEED CAN COMMUNICATION BUS' I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OR BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. ALSO WHEN IT IS A HOT DAY THE VEHICLE UNLOCKS IT'S OWN DOORS, STARTS ITSELF, POPS THE TRUNK ON IT'S OWN WHEN I AM NOWHERE AROUND AND THE KEY FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE MY CAR OR MY BELONGINGS TO BE STOLEN.

MY CAR SOMETIMES REVS WHILE GOING 10 AND UNDER, WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE GAS. AND WHEN I CHANGED GEARS IT SLIPS AND JUMPS

I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AT LOW MILEAGE ONCE AT 58,600 MILES I'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT IN THIS SHORT FREQUENCY OF TIME. I'M HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 TO REPLACE A THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS ALREADY REPLACE BY CHRYSLER. AN INVESTIGATION INTO FAULTY CHRYSLER PARTS NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND A RECALL ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND THE OIL WAS LOW. THERE WAS NO OIL LEAK PRESENT. DAVID DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (1801 US-202, GLEN MILLS, PA 19342, (610) 358-5300) WAS CONTACTED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THEY SERVICED THE VEHICLE UNDER A WARRANTY. SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION WAS NOT DISCLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR SHOCKS WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V392000 (SUSPENSION), ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS LISTED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED OIL WAS LOW, VEHICLE STALLED AND DEALER DID SOMETHING TO THE MODULE POWER TRAIN. ALSO, TWO FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AND HAD TO REPLACE 6 TIRES AS WELL AS AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. JUMPER HARNEST UNDER THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.*JB

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF ANY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. THE TYPE OF GAS DOES NOT PREVENT THE SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE ISSUE IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY 100% OF THE TIME. IT'S HAPPENED AFTER I'VE PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND REENTERED THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AGAIN THIS IS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK. TODAY, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLED. I"M VERY AFRAID. I'M USING TODAY'S DATE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE "ENGINE STALLED" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,000.
