We have classified the 544 complaints from 2015 Chrysler 200 about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
**i will continue to post until my issue is resolved** my 2015 chrysler 200 limited has been experiencing the same thing as all other reports. 06/08/17 car turned off while driving and would not immediately turn back on. when it did it would sputter and then stall. 06/09/17. check engine light came on code p2172 for throttle actuator control system and the car would not let me accelerate past 32 mph. one of the possible issues would be an open or short in the wire harness. this is something that is discussed in the r24 recall however, my vin is not on the list yet. this is an extremely unsafe vehicle and it needs to be addressed immediately. i'm confident that there are more than enough people to begin a class action suit. if i have to post on here again and add accident, injury, or death. the lawsuit will hold a very different meaning.
Takata recall my airbag light has been continuously coming on and off ever since i purchased the car about 3 months ago. i took it back to the place of purchase and was told that something was blocking the sensor under the seat which had been removed and i was told it was fixed but this light is still on. i don't feel safe in this car if i don't know if i have working air bags or not. the sunroof has also malfunction to where it would not open and close by pressing the button i have taken it to be fixed 3 times already. i feel like i am stuck in a death trap waiting to happen.
The factory battery on this year and model is bad. causes the car to not start randomly and completely shuts off during driving due to the faulty battery.
A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as i was turning into my driveway. it completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. i tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. the engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. my husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. i called chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the chrysler dealership. after 3 days in the service dept i was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. they drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. they have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. luckily this happened as i was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when i was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. i'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time i may not be as lucky. i leased the car brand new in aug. 2014, the lease ends aug. 2017.

First, my car problem starts 2 weeks ago with heating sensor stopped working suddenly and it shows take to the dealer and i fixed it. after that problem continues with the new sensor as well. after driving couple of miles, it shows you required a service of the sensor and it goes on/off on its own when i take to the dealer it says it's fine after inspection. after that check engine starts popping up along with service of heat engine sensor. i think i have wasted my hard earned money on chrysler 200 and i am not gonna refer it to anyone as i have driven honda before so expectations were high.

This morning when i was driving with my 2 year old daughter, my car had major failures. while driving on a highway (us-46), the anti-lock brakes failed first, then went the power steering next. luckily i was able to pull off the road in time before getting crushed by a tractor trailer. funny thing is, i knew this was coming. i called my local dealership on wednesday to tell them i suspected my car was going to have the same issues others have had. my car started shaking quite a bit when i was drinking on tuesday 2/21/17. when you research this for this model, you'll find all sorts of scary stories, like mine today. when i called the dealer's service department i was totally blown off, treated like a moron, and told they could see me on march 7. helpful, right? so i made an appointment at another dealership for tomorrow morning 2/25/17. alas, i didn't make it. this is a very serious issue. had i been driving on an interstate, this could have resulted in a major accident. i just hope someone reads this and understands 1. this is not the first person it happened to and 2. this issue is going to kill someone. i escaped with my life today. others may not.
While driving the car on a city street ~ 30 mph, it dies. tells me to shift to park and restart. did this 3 times in a row. each time i try to restart it sputters and acts like it won't restart. was able to get to a parking lot less than a block away.
I was in a car accident feb 16 2017. rear ended by a ford expedition. my airbag came on but didn't deploy. i hit my head hard and smoke was coming from the steering wheel. the car locks and unlocks on its own. it slows down to five miles an hour on the highway and then speeds up again. i never know what my life will be like in this [xxx] car. it's not worth anything and i demand all the money i put into it back. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Over the past six months, car has been in and out of multiple dealerships for brake system and transmission issues. the transmission shifts erratically and lurches without warning. the brake system has now caused three accidents. the brake pedal will suddenly go to the floor, and lose all braking power. this has resulted in one major collision. dealers have "fixed" the issues but they return. parking brake randomly activates on its own, causing rear wheels to lock and a loss of control of the car. this last occurence the parking brake activated on its own, causing us to skid into a ditch while travelling 70mph. the dealer said the issue was the battery and returned the vehicle to us after charging us because the battery apparently isnt covered under warranty. the next day the brake system completely failed. the car has been in the shop for two weeks now. the have replaced every major component of the braking system, but cannot get the cars brakes to work properly. chrysler either has no comment or doesn't care about the safety of its customers.
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.
Pulled into a parking lot and upon parking i put the vehicle in park. i hadn't turned the car off but let my foot off the brake and the car began to roll backwards. i had to shift out of park and then back to get it to stay in park.
