2015 Chrysler 200

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO A SPECIFIC SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY ABOVE THE SET SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT MANUALLY TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WAS DUE TO A POWER DISTRIBUTION FAILURE AND THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO TROUBLE CODES WERE FOUND ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

VEHICLE LITERALLY SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING SIGNS BUT RESTARTS AGAIN PERFECTLY EXCEPT FOR YOU HAVE TO REPROGRAM RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL . THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHICH WAS 2 DAYS AGO I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED GREEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I PRESSED THE GAS AND WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR JUST CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP ENGINE ELECTRICAL EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. THEN TODAY IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU ORDERING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, NO WARNING SIGN IT KIND OF CLUNKS IT JERKS AND THEN IT SAYS IF SOMEBODY WERE TO HAVE JUST SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE THIRD TIME I WAS COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, COMING UP TO A LIGHT SLIGHTLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND IT COMPLETELY CLUNK CUT OFF. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NOBODY HAS REAR-ENDED ME IN ANY OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I AM VERY DEPENDENT ON MY CAR HOWEVER I AM NOW AVOIDING USING IT. I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM BY READING ARTICLES AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM AT ONE TIME FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER START UP, IT STALLS AND BEGINS TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS, OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONCE YOU GET IT STOPPED AND RESTART IT, IT DOES THE SAME THING ABOUT 3-7 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THEN IT WON'T DO IT AT ALL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS HAS CAUSED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. NO CODES TO GO ON FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THIS MODEL HAS HAN MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVE RECALLED BEFORE FOR IT, BUT A CHECK OF RECALLS FOR THIS VIN SHOWS NO UN-REPAIRED RECALLS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. DEALER HAS STATED THAT WITHOUT CODES SHOWING UP, AND OR WITNESSING THE PROBLEM THEY REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND CAUSED CARS TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND WHEN MINE STALLS AND SLOWS DOWN FROM NO POWER. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN IN AREAS THAT HAVE A SHOULDER TO MOVE ONTO. I HONESTLY DO NOT THINK I AM BEING TOLD EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE FROM RESEARCHING IT ON LINE, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM, AND NOBODY SEAMS TO HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER FOR IT THAT I CAN FIND. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS. THANK YOU

MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD KEEP CUTTING OFF, IT KEEP SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING AND CAN'T TURN, STALLS WHEN PULLING OFF, AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TRAVEL ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND SCARED I MIGHT CUT OFF OR STALLED AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING. EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CAR IN MOTION AND I HAVE TO KEEP PROGRAMMING MY KEY TO MY CAR.

THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERMANENTLY STAYS ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL JUST DIE AS YOU'RE DRIVING IT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IT COULD BE WHEN YOU'RE REVERSING IT DOESN'T MATTER I JUST WANTS TO DIE AND THEN NOT START UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER RESET OFTEN IN ORDER FOR OUR VEHICLE TO DRIVE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY GREAT NIECE TO DAYCARE AND WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND CUT IT OFF, IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP OR ALLOW ME TO SHIFT AT ALL. A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED WHICH DID NOTHING, A TOWING SERVICE WAS CALLED AND IT WAS FLATBED DELIVERED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER BRAIN IS GONE AND THE CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, THEY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. THIS IS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE POWERTRAIN OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BRAIN IS GONE. THEY BUILT THESE CARS WITH NO SAFETY IN MIND. I AM JUST THANKFUL IT DIDN'T STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY BABY INSIDE. AND NOW THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE THOUSANDS TO REPAIR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE VEHCILE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE LOCAL DEALER BENSON CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 415 W WADE HAMPTON BLVD, GREER, SC 29650 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO GET ONTO A MAIN STREET, WHEN ACCELERATING TO PICK UP SPEED, THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL AND FELT AS IF THE CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. A SCREEN POPPED UP ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE TRANSMITION" AND "ENGAGE PARKING BREAK TO PREVENT ROLLING". WHILE THE NOTIFICATION WAS ON THE DASH, THE GEAR SHIFTER BLINKED ON "D" AND LOCKED UP. UNABLE TO ALLOW US TO SWITCH TO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MIKE TOLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 5340 HWY 70 W, MOREHEAD CITY, NC 28557. THE SERVICE AREA DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. WE DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR THIS DIAGNOSES, BUT I CAN CALL AND ASK FOR ONE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TOMORROW. WE RESEARCHED MAKE AND MODEL FOR RECALLS, AND OUR PERSONAL VIN NUMBER. OUR MAKE AND MODEL HAD 8 RECALLS, ONE INCLUDING RECALL 16V529000 FOR NHTSA AND S55 FOR CHRYSLER. AFTER ASKING THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE THESE DID NOT APPLY TO OUR CAR, THEY WERE NOT ACCOMMODATING. THEY STATED THAT IF WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A RECALL TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, WHERE THEY MADE A CASE NUMBER OF 77342048 AND INFORMED US TO CONTACT NHSTA DUE TO THE ISSUE BEING WHAT THE RECALL STATES, BUT THE VIN NOT HAVING A RECALL.

WANTS TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHILE ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN RIGHT BEFORE COMPLETE STOP. DASHBOARD DOES NOT GIVE ERROR CODE. DASHBOARD TOLD WIFE TO PUT IN (P) WHILE IN (D) GOING DOWN ROAD AROUND 15-20MPH AND ACCELERATING AND I FOUND SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLAINT ONLINE ON MANY WEBSITES. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BATTERY BEFORE MY INTERNET RESEARCH, BUT AFTER BATTERY CHECK, BATTERY IN PERFECT CONDITION. JUST STARTED HAPPENING YESTERDAY EVENING AFTER VEHICLE NOT USED IN 5-6 DAYS. NOT EVERYDAY DRIVER VEHICLE. TUNE-UP/OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE.
