2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

12/20/18 PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS, MY ENGINE STALL, GEARSHIFT NOT GOING INTO NEUTRAL, INTERMITTENT POWER FAILURE TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NOT STARTING OR MOVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLS AND WILL NOT SHIFT WHILE DRIVING. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL.

ON 9/16/18, VEHICLE DIED AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT STARTED, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY TROUBLE SHOOTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. THEY FOUND A SERVICES BULLETIN ABOUT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND REPLACED WIRING HARNESS. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS I NOTICED MY VEHICLE FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. AS TIME WENT ON, I REALIZED IT WASN'T A SLIPPING, BUT A HARD SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LOOSE POWER UPON ACCELERATION TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, BUT AT TIMES IT SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND DIE WHILE IN HEAVY HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC. ON 10/11/2018 WHILE HAVING MY VEHICLE OIL CHANGED, I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM WHAT I WAS FEELING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN FACT NOT SHIFTING OR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I OBTAINED A QUOTE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED MIGHT HELP, BUT OFTEN TIMES FLUSHING CAN CAUSE SYMPTOMS TO WORSEN. I OPTED TO NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AT THAT TIME AND PLANNED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. IT IS NOW THE THE 3RD WEEK IN DECEMBER AND JUST THIS WEEK THE HARD SHIFTING AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC HAS WORSENED SIGNIFICANTLY. I PHONED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TODAY AND SPOKE WITH MY SERVICE ADVISOR TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. I AM TO CALL BACK ON WEDNESDAY 12/26 TO RESERVE A COURTESY VEHICLE AND SCHEDULE APPT. TO DROP MY VEHICLE OFF ON 12/27/2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT A BOLT ON THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,412.

THE CAR HAS STALLED MANY TIMES AND THEN WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY BUT WILL START AFTER A FEW TRIES.THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS WHILE AT A STOP AND ALSO IN THE DRIVEWAY WHILE MOVING.

TAKATA RECALL, ON THE DASH IT SAYS ENGINE WARMING WAIT TO START, I HAVE TO PRESS START AND OFF 7 TO 15 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS AND SOMETIMES IT JUST READS ENGINE WARMING WAIT TO START

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR IS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF SAYING THAT THE AIRBAGS NEEDS TO BE SERVICED.

I STARTED FINANCING THIS VEHICAL 3 MOBTHS AGO WHEN I TEST DROVE IT NOTHING WAS WRONG. A WEEK LATER AFTER COMING TO SIGN THE PAPER WORK AND PICK UP THE CAR I WAS INFORMED TGE KEYFOB NO LONGER WORKERED PROPERLY.THEN A WEEK AND A HALF AGO IT HAS A PROBLEM TURNING ON ON WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE THEN LAST NIGHT GETTING OFF WORK AND PICKING UP MY WIFE AND SON ANYTHING THAT WAS ELECTRICAL WOULD ICKER TO STAY ALIVE (HEAD LIGHTS, STEREO,HEATER,WINDOWS, ECT.) BUT WHAT SCARES ME IS THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICAL IS FULLY ELECTRIC SO THAT PRESENTS IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE TRANSMISSION CAN SHUT OFF IN MIDDRIVE. COMPLETLY UNSAFE

"TAKATA RECALL" MY CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CHILDREN IS THE CAR. ALSO WHEN I PUSH THE GAS IT STALLS THEN IT TURN OVER .
