The 200 has 3500 miles and will loose power without explanation. driving at a low speed on city street and the car lost power. the engine light will come on and stay on. i did see that manufacturing dates of between 1/7/2014 through 9/23/2014 have been recalled for electrical issues with the power distribution center (pdc) per r24/nhtsa 15v-470. my car was not manufactured during that period, but seems to have the same type of problems that have been reported on this site.

A followup on complaint #10826086. the loss of power to the chrysler 200 model is already in effect for earlier made models under r24/15v-470. look at jeep recalls 13v-175 and 14v-438 for the jeep commander and cherokee. it's the exact same issue.

In january 2015, i purchased a 2015 chrysler 200s from reedman toll auto world. i owned the vehicle for approximately 3 months and in march, 2015 during a snowstorm i was driving in the vehicle with my fiance and 5 year old son. i was traveling at approx 30mph in bensalem, pa. the vehicle locked up. the parking brake engaged, no power steering, no abs, no traction control, transmission stopped engaging. i hit the brakes and slide into an intersection. i had my fiance get into the drivers seat and i push the car off the roadway into a side street. at that time i walked my fiance and son home approximately 1 mile to our apartment. i then walked back to the disabled car. i waited for approximately 2 hours for a tow truck to arrive from chrysler roadside assistance. the vehicle was towed into reedman toll auto world. when the car was looked over it was deem to be fine and i was told to pick it up. i did not do that. i told them i didnt feel safe driving that vehicle any longer. so then i spoke with the general manager of reedman's and they told me they could get me into a different vehicle. i was poorly educated with my options back then and i wanted to just get a safe vehicle for my family. so i purchased a 2015 chrysler 200c. on january 23th, 2016 i was driving my 2015 chrysler 200c with my fiance. i was driving at approximately 20mph and the identical situation occurred again. it was 10 months after my last incident and with a totally different vehicle. this time i contacted chrysler directly. i still havent heard anything from chrysler. reedman's told me that there was some snow in there and they removed that and re flashed the computer system and now its "perfect". i find this to be really unacceptable and unsafe. more information including pictures and videos can be provided.

My chrysler 200 had been recalled mid 2015 for a glitch in their computer system that required all chrysler, dodge, ram, and fiat vehicles with the 8.4 screen to have a chip sent out and installed by self to update and instill security to those cars. in january of 2016 i was involved in a collision in my chrysler 200. my entire front end was knocked off as i was awaiting a turn in a center lane on a city street. my engine dropped and all fluids were expelled from this vehicle, my air bags did not deploy. when i called concerned about it i was told that my vehicle was tested with a hand device in a junk yard and that i had not been hit hard enough or in the right place for them to deploy. i could not believe due to the force and damage done but was still told by a chrysler representative that there was no malfunction with the air bags. the car was a total loss but was resold to a dealership in cincinnati, oh and put up for sale. i am still receiving notifications about the car due to uconnect and is very concerned about this same vehicle being sold and put on the road.

I was driving my brand new chrysler 200 that i bought 4 months prior and it was completely shutting off in the middle of the road... i lost control of steering until it shut completely off so i could restart it. very scary when you have your newborn baby and 10 year old in that back seat. not once did a check engine light come on or any sensor come on to tell me that my vehicle had no oil in it. so i believe the engine, electrical, and sensors are all messed on this vehicle. i do not feel like i should be stuck with it because in the back of my head i no longer feel safe in this vehicle. i am reaching out for help because chrysler won't and i have owned this care since august and it was in shop for 17 days in january, i have it back but i still don't think it's running correctly.

Power distribution center recall i called the dealer several times for recall to be fixed they told me each time they did not have the parts in from manufacturer. this recall has been out for longer than 3 months. they said the put my name on for call when part comes in but this is dangerous as it can cause a crash and my young son drives the car. the dealership is brown daub off hecktown road in easton pa

There has been an open recall for the power distribution center electrical connector since july 2015, and i still have not been able to get it fixed because the dealer says they can't get the parts needed.

While driving on the interstate at 75 miles my vehicle caught on fire by the gear shifter i had to jump out of the car before it was stopped the car was totaled

The power distribution center (pdc), shifter, parking break, transmission wire, power train, and engine stopped working on 12/05/15. the care completely shut down. i had it towed to a local dealer on 12/7/15. the worked on it all week through 12/10/15. the called me and told me everything was fixed. i came to pick it up, and i drove it back to work, to the store, then back home where it was parked over night. i wake up this morning to go to work and drop my girls off at school and the same thing happens. the car will not start, the brake is tight, the system is not detecting my key fob, and the care jerks a little bit and then dies. the dash will come on but the care will not shift out of park. i have it towed back to the dealership and they tell me "it worked last yesterday once we finished repairs.' i'm frustrated and made because i only received notification that 2 weeks ago that my car was up for a recall. then the dealer's service department tell me it's under 2-3 recalls. my insurance will provide a rental car. however, since this is mechanical and not due to an accident i can't get a rental. i call the dealer to request a loaner car, and they tell me that chrysler only provides them with five loaner cars, and they are currently being used for higher priority customers who major engine or transmission problems. if i read this one recall correct, one of the issues can cause me to hurt myself or others in a bad accident it this issue is not correct. to top it off they won't even provide me with a loaner car until they fix a problem that was caused in the manufacturing process. chrysler tells me that they don't usually replace cars, as they probably will only make repairs to fix the problem. the dealer here tells me that the recalls were made in february 2015. why wasn't i notified until recently. i could have seriously injured myself and my family. very unhappy!

This vehicle has experienced transmission problems since month two, taken in multiple times to be told a variety of reasons why the car isn't working. car stopped twice in the middle of the road, wouldn't start or move (with my children in the car both times). currently car will speed up when you take your foot off the gas, also car transmission thuds into gear feeling like the car is literally going to fall apart. been told that everyone is aware of the problem, no one has a solution. in the mean time the car is clearly unstable, unsafe.
