2015 CHRYSLER 200 Complaints

MY CAR SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE IN MOTION STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ALL ON A HIGHWAY

I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE LAST SUMMER (2017) REGARDING MY VEHICLE SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL GETTING STUCK AND BEING DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE. I WANTED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY BUT MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THIS ORGANIZATION (NHTSA) THAT SOME 2015 CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ASSUMING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. I WAS BY TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER EMPLOYEES THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED AND PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS ON MY OWN. I WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUESTING AGAIN THAT CHRYSLER BUY BACK THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY ADMIT NEED TO BE DONE ON SOME OF THE VEHICLES. IF ITS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL OF THE CARS WOULD NEED THE REPAIR SINCE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE. SEE ALSO ODI 10984831. *DSY UPDATED 9/25/18*JB

BOUGHT MY CAR 3 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT WONT START, HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND STILL DID NOT WORK, RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DID SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (NORTHGATE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 8536 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (513) 385-3900) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER HAD NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD NOT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V470000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR BEGINS TO MAKE DING SOUND,THEN SLOWS DOWN AND SHUTS OFF AND SAYS "SHIFTS TO PARK" CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CUT OFF. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, IT BEGINS TO MAKE THE CUGHH CUGGGHHH SOUND AND TAKES A AMINUTE TO TWO BEFORE IT COMES BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CARMAX FOR THEM TO SAY ITS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEEMBER 2017

THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHENEVER I TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON. I'VE CHECKED THE BATTERY THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND THEY WERE ALL GOOD. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPONTANEOUSLY TURNS ON AND TURNS OFF . ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WITH FOOT ON BREAK THE RPM ACCELERATORS, ALSO ONE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT BUT TURNS BACK ON

THE VEHICLE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHERE IT BROKE DOWN THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SECOND TIME IN THE CITY. THOSE TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO ANY CAR HISTORY REPORT AGENCY OR THE PUBLIC. THIS MIGHT BE PUTTING SOMEONE LIFE AT RISK. I HAVE TO SAY THIS THAT WE DIDN'T FIND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: DURABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE WERE THE REASON WE DIDN'T DIVE THE CAR THAT OFTEN.

'TAKATA RECALL' AFTER THE 2 INITIAL RECALLS, PARK BRAKE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. SAME ISSUE AS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED BUT STILL NOT THE FIX!!!!

TAKAYA RECALL- MY CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINUTES FOR IT TO CUT BACK ON THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST YEAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN IT STARTED BACK SHUTTING OFF AGAIN IT'S TO A POINT WE'RE IM SPENDING TO MUCH MONEY ON TRYING TO GET THE CAR FIXED AND IT DOESN'T LAST BECAUSE THE PROBLEM KEEPS REOCCURRING

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN ' IN THE CHRYSLER WOU A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN DASH IN THE CHRYSLER WILL CONSTANTLY FLASHING ALL OF ITS LIGHTS AND TELL ME THAT MY PARKING BRAKE NEEDS SERVICED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICED. I HAVE GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT NEVER SOLVES ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT TENDS TO JUMP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON JUNE 6, 2018 MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN AKRON OHIO DO TO THE CAR JUMPING, ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT AND LOCKING UP THE CAR, SO I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK OR STEER. THE CAR ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE LOCKED UP CAR. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PROPER MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE ON THIS CA I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SEE THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAVE FIXED ANY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER.
