2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WENT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE RESULTING IN A SUDDEN JUMP FROM THE CAR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY JUST REFLASHED MY TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

I STARTED TO FEEL THE JERK RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR SWITCHED GEARS. TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THE DEALERSHIP/MECHANIC THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME WHEN I PICKED IT UP, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNABLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING IT AROUND. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT WHEN IT DOES, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT RAN INTO A WALL AND JERKS HARD. IF I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN I WOULD SO THE MECHANIC COULD SEE. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE NOTICED IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS IS TAKING PLACE WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 55 MPH, WITH THE CRUZE CONTROL ON AND STILL CONTINUES WITH IT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO HAS COME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND "CHECK ENGINE" INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED, BUT NOW MY CAR STALLS WHILE CRUISING OR DECELERATING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS. THEN THE CAR WON'T START RIGHT AWAY LEAVING ME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

CAR ENGINE STALLS CONTINUESLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL . RECALL WAS PLACED ON THIS CAR IN 2015 FOR THIS ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY AS I READ ONLINE . NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAD A GOOD 3-4 CAR LENGTHS IN BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE CARS IN FRONT OF MY CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP SO I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THE CAR INITIALLY SLOWED BUT NOT AT THE PACE I EXPECTED. I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TOTALING THE CAR. THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ROADS WERE DRY. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IN TIME WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE BRAKES WERE THE CAUSE. I HAD NOTICED THEM BEING DELAYED IN THE WEEKS PRIOR BUT DID NOT HEAR ANY SQUEAKING SO I ASSUMED THEY WERE FINE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED.

CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER AND THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE." I COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT KNOB OUT OF "D," DESPITE TURNING IT LEFT AND RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF, AND EVENTUALLY RESTART AND PUT IN DRIVE. THIS SAME LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES, BEFORE IT STAYED IN DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC. FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I READ THERE WAS AN R24 RECALL FOR CHRYSLER 200'S BUILT BETWEEN JANUARY 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 2014, CITING LOSS OF POWER AND HAVING THE SAME DISPLAY THAT I OBSERVED ON THE DASH. MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL - WHICH I KNOW. HOWEVER, I TRIED TO REITERATE MY CONCERN OVER MY SAFETY OF HAVING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE R24 RECALL. I ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AS HAVING THAT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT. THE DEALER NEEDS TO TREAT IT AS A SEPARATE MECHANICAL FAILURE, DESPITE THIS PROBLEM BEING IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. I EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MAY FAMILY'S SAFETY, AND THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE WITH THE CONCERN THEY HAD WITH RECALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POWER FAILURE ISSUE. I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AS I DO NOT WANT MY POWER FAILURE PROBLEM (WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE R24 RECALL) TO BE RUN THROUGH THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT MY MECHANIC RAN IT THROUGH, TO NO AVAIL. AS WITH THE R24, I WANT THE DEALER TO FOCUS ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I SUSPECT THAT OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AWD DRIVE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME POWER FAILURE THAT I HAD. THANK YOU.

1) I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET 40 MPH AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND STOPPED ON THE MIDDLE OF STREET IN A VERY UNSAFE POSITION, I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT ONLY MADE THE START NOISE AND DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. 2)THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON FOR MORE THAN 4 MONTHS.

(1) I PURCHASED MY CAR IN OCTOBER 2016. MY CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY CITY STREET INTERSECTION. I HAD TO KEEP BLOWING MY HORN AND KEEP HAZARD LIGHTS ON. MY TWO CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME! IT HAS CUT OFF A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT, LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. I TOOK MORE THAN 3 MINUTES TO START UP AGAIN.(2)THE CAR ALSO JOLTS, WHILE DRIVING, A LOT CAUSING EVERYONE IN THE CAR TO PUSH FORWARD OFF OF THE SEATS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE REVERSED INSTEAD. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES WITH EXTREME PRESSURE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, IT WOULD ACCELERATE RAPIDLY INTO TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM 24 (1020 BELMONT ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301, (781) 961-1550) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
