My car has been "jerking" since i bought & was repeatedly told by cjd arlington in hat it was the 9 speed tranny & the car has to relearn my driving.12/28 my car lost power and went into neutral. it had to be towed in.they called the next day and told me the car didn't store any error messages and was safe to pick up. i refused and asked them to test the car more because there obviously had to be an issue since the car cut off & went into neutral as i was braking at a light.i had the car towed to a different cjd in town & they called the next day stating i needed a new engine and possibly a new tranny. they only replaced the engine & the tcm valve. i got the car back(1/6/17) and the next morning i pulled out on a street and the car jerked so hard. it left my neck in pain for the remainder of the day. i contacted chrysler customer care to file a complaint. i was told to take the car back to see if they could fix the issue before a resolution is determined. i was told i needed a new tranny this time. the car is still jerking, hesitating/lagging at time, and very scary to drive. i took the car in last week 2/9 with complaints and they gave it right back a few hours later saying they didn't see anything wrong. i showed a video of the car running and sounding like a lawn mover. they said the noise wasn't normal but since it wasn't showing any error messages or making the noise there they couldn't keep it. ive been trying to reach my case manager(bridgett)with fca & she won't return my phone calls as usual. she offered a trade in assistance program but it had to be another cjd vehicle & 2017 which i can't afford & don't want another vehicle from them. im tired of driving around in fear that my car will lose power again or cause me to get hit. im upside down & nobody seems to care about i have 8 service invoices about this issue.the first was 5/25. i purchased the car 3/19

First engine light come up then car started to overheat. coolant temp. 185 and car overheat. panel read engine temperature too hot .. i cannot drive the car because this problem code p0128(thermostats) and p2181(coolant system) came up.

While in motion, overheating light and electric throttle light came up on dash display, with temperature reading at 0. the vehicle still drove as normal, i pulled over and turned it off. restarted after 30 secs and the lights where gone, just check engine light was. took it to a dealership and was told i had a faulty thermastat. the dealer stated that they have been seeing this issue since november 2016 with chrysler 200 & jeep vehicles.

When i tried to turn on my car it would not crank and it said engine warming. battery and engine light came on. already called insurance company for a jump and that did not help. the car was in parked when this happen.

I was driving home from work when the check engine light, engine temperature warning light, and electronic throttle control light came on. in reviewing the potential issues, a number of people have had the same issue, potentially due to a faulty thermostat. when i had the vehicle scanned at autozone, it provided codes p0218 twice and p2181 once. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. while attempting to start the vehicle, it shook and failed to start. the contact attempted to start the vehicle several times. when the vehicle started, it shook and began to overheat. also, while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing; however, the details of the diagnosis could not be provided. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

I own a 2015 chrysler 200 .i was driving it the first month when i bought it( which is july 2016) and unexpectedly the car started to slow down from 55 to 35mph . i was really surprised because i wasn't even hitting the brake.i went to the dealer and check, he told me that everything is ok. but last month i was driving home , i saw something on the road at the last minute . i slowed down but the car didn't respong ,i hit that thing. i didn't even know what it was.maybe an animal or something that was laying down on the road. the front of my car was broken. one of my headlight is broken. the dealer told me that maybe something is wrong with the car. and my car need actually about $2000 to be repaired. my car is brand new and still have warranty on it. i am tried to use the insurance to repair it but nobody is really helping me with that ,until yesterday when i got that letter on the mail (safety recall about my car )

The car stalls on my wife every day. she sitting at light or sitting in traffic. you can be driving on the freeway and without warning it cuts off. i am now the only chrysler owner that is having this issue. this is going to cause a really bad accident, or maybe someone dieing dealing with this issue. i have been calling so see if there is a recall. i saw something on google and said there is a recall but when i call the dealer ship they say there is no recall. what is it going to take for us to get a recall on the 2015 chrysler 200's engine stalling problem. this started happen back in october 2016.

On multiple occasions, random times of day, i would attempt to start my car (or sometimes already be driving) but the engine light and parking light would turn on with a message reading "service transmission, service parking brake" and i can not get the car out of park. this happened at times when i was parked in my driveway, when i was at a complete stop at a red light and has even left me stranded in vacant parking lots. i took the car in for service and was told it was a software upgrade. i left my car, had the upgrade and the problem still occurs. i was told that the only option left is to replace the transmission. during all of my conversations and visits to the dealer, i surprised that no one has mentioned once to me that this car was recalled for electrical issues. i found that out myself when i was doing some research on the issue. this is a huge safety concern. i was left stranded in a parking lot overnight until i could find a ride to get me home, i've stalled out in the middle of the highway when i was stopped for traffic, and i've lost count of the amount of work days i've been out because was car has not been reliable enough to start when i need it to. the car is less than 1.5 years old. i shouldn't be dealing with these issues. *tr

Twice in the last week i was driving and all of a sudden the cate went from drive to neutral and told me to put the car in park, then you put it in park and have to restart the car in the middle of the road. the first time i almost got rear ended the second time i was stopped at a stop sign.

Engine shuts off while driving, it might restart and it might not. check engine light comes on and the battery light comes on for a short time. one time it was after work ready to go home, yesterday i was stopped at a red light and it shut off.

I was driving home from work yesterday evening doing 60 -65 mph on hwy 6 and my car decelerated like it turned off. i tried pushing the gas and nothing happened, the engine didn't even rev up. i had warning lights flashing on my dash. i tried uploading pictures but they wouldn't attach. i coasted the to shoulder of the road and my car wouldn't disengage from drive. i turned my car off hoping that would help, but when i turned it back on it wouldn't change gears from park. i got towed to the nearest chrysler dealership. today i received a call from the dealership that they were going to reset some computer drive and i "should be good to go this afternoon". i told that lady there's a recall on chryslers for that very issue and i refuse to drive that car until it's fixed. this is a brand new car. i've barely had it a year. she told me that right now they can't fix it. if they can't fix it then chrysler needs to buy back all of these cars from the people got scammed into buying them. i've had engine trouble from this car from day 1.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that the vehicle remained stuck in third gear. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

My vehicle is now a year old and was purchased with 54 miles on the car. purchase complete in june, by september vehicle needed the motor replaced (so disappointing and such an inconvenience). the car has been stalling amid traffic which is extremely dangerous. the dealership supposedly fixed that issue and yet more stalling now than before. i have reached out to chrysler several times about this lemon and not much help has been given at all. as i type now the complaints with the car is that the car stalls displaying the battery light but starts back up. took the car to dealership to see exactly what the problem was and of course they stated the same thing (oh the battery must be replaced) at the expense of $390 which i refused those services. went to get battery tested from a second opinion and the battery life was fine and was not die to be replaced. now when the car stalls it displays the battery light, traction light, power steering unavailable and shuts off. well to top that problem and the 3 or fourth time of stalling depending on the distance, car shuts down completely for approximately 20 minutes displaying braking system notification when the car now does not shift into and gears. the air/heating system, radio, lights, etc still works but car can't go into park, drive, reverse, neutral, or low. i emailed chrysler along with pictures and of course i am yet to get a reply.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. while driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that all of the indicators on the instrument panel illuminated prior to the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

Ive had trouble with this vehicle since i took possession 6/30/2014! issues has been: brakes(2x), uconnect (numerous times taken in for service and still has the same problem), aux- (numerous times taken in for service and still has the same problem, driver chair lever, vehicle shut down with flashing dash and gear lights while driving causing near death accidents (numerous times), radio shut down, vehicle came to a complete shut down and i had to have it towed, vehicle wouldn't start and i had it towed, vehicle accelerates on its own after the brake is released (take in numerous times and still had this problem, this ongoing issue has caused me to get into an accident and now chrysler has denied my claim for them to fix my vehicle due to there negligent. i take the vehicle in for service for these ongoing issues and i get the vehicle back stating that there is nothing wrong but i have the same problems overtime!! i have video and pictures.

The vehicle is consuming the oil and then shuts off with no warning has left us in 2 intersections had the car looked at both times the dealership is monitoring oil after cryselr done a reset but it is still consuming oil i have spoke with crysler but nothing has been done to ensure my families safty.

I bought the car in february 2016 and was told it was bought back because of a sensor and had gone through full inspection and was cleared for sale. two days later my check engine light came on and the car had accelerated from 60-92 on it's own. the dealership puts new parts in and every two weeks after i get my car back, the check engine light comes on and the car is accelerating on it's own. chrysler has a team talking with the dealership but the car has been back around 10 times and is still having the same problem. last week it accelerated from 72 to 97 on the freeway while my 2 year old son was in the car. we almost hit a semi. i dont understand how chrysler is able to keep closing my cases and telling me they fixed it when it is still having the same problem. i've googled engine issues on these cars and found mine wasn't the only one doing this. i am paying a lot of money for an unsafe car that keeps accelerating on it's own and nothing is being done.

Car stalls into neutral or just dies when in motion, the airbags do not work, the middle console went out in 2016, the car tire pressure sensor stopped working in 2016, the car randomly revs into a higher gear

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrylers 200. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. after numerous attempts, the vehicle was able to restart. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and repaired per an unknown recall. the failure recurred twice. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

Car will stall while coming to a stop or slowing to make a turn. took it in to the dealership and was told that the oil needed to be changed and that the engine would automatically "shut off" if an oil change is needed. problem has occurred numerous times even after having the oil changed regularly. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 48,230.

Starting in july 2016, i have had issues with my parking break. on 3 separate occasions (most recent on 8/19/16), the parking break would not release and i was unable to drive. i was stuck for about 20-30 minutes each time. the car jumps as i accelerate (this has been happening since from day 1) , as if it is having a problem transitioning between gears. this tends to happen when i am driving low speeds, like driving out of a parking structure, or accelerating from a complete stop. yesterday my car would not start. electricity was on (radio, lights etc) but the car would not start. jumping it helps.

My 200 stopped on more than one occassion either on the highway (285), or on the street. had to pull to emergency lane to sit, open and close door then car started back up and was able to drive home. no radio and saved settings have to be reset ever time the car is started. nothing will connect (phone, blue tooth etc),

Enterprise auto sales sold me this chrysler 200 with an open warranty on it, which i discovered later on. from the time i drove it home, there have been issues with the transmission behaving erratically, surging or racing idle and lurching from a stopped and/or slow mph. it has also behaved as though its suddenly in idle only one to jump back into gear. it's been to the dealer for the tcm recall and that hasn't remedied the problem. then a new safety recall was released and there is no date on when the most recent issues will be fixed. i saw that my vehicle was potentially listed under the consent agreement's buy-back option for owners. when i spoke with customer service, i was told there was no such thing as a buy-back program and my vehicle was not within the consent agreement. i requested another department and was told there was no other department. i asked to speak with a supervisor and was flatly denied by the customer service representative who had a speech impediment. i haven't ever dealt with a csr that hostile. i'm surprised she works with customers. i've only had this vehicle for about 4 months and it's been a nightmare. definitely buyers remorse here. i do not feel safe in this car at all. chrysler has had more than a reasonable amount of time to either repair or refund this vehicle. i believe they should repurchase it from me so i can invest in something else. and as a side note: i have managed to track down all of he work orders completed on this car except for the first safety recall, and according to chrysler's records, it was repaired by a rental company who is now defund. very shady.

Engine stalls out.

My engine light came on i took it to the dealer to get it checked/fixed. they told me the everything was ok and that they had to do some updates on the vehicle and everything was fix. went to pick up my car and two days later the engine light came back on. so now i have to take my car to the dealer to see what is going on with the vehicle and they will not give me a loner vehicle to get to work . from the reviews i am seeing a lot of people are having the same issues with the chrysler 200 this car is defective
