2015 Chrysler 200

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE FROM THE STOP POSITION ON THE STREET OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATES AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE. IT TAKES ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH UP WITH THE DESIRED SPEED. WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 - 55MPH OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A DISTINCT HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. A CONSTANT HUMMING SOUND. WHEN I DECREASE IN SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO ITS LOWER GEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IN AUGUST OF 2017 IN HAWAII.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT STALLED AND JERKED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ALLOW THE ENGINE TO WARM UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES BEFORE IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ENGINE OIL SPILLED INTO THE SPARK PLUG CHAMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAR TOWN KIA USA (3120 LEXINGTON ROAD, NICHOLASVILLE, KY 40356, (859) 887-4737) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE THROTTLE BODY, OIL EXHAUST MANIFOLD, TWO ENGINE SENSORS, AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE CLEANED AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAN CUMMINS CHEVROLET BUICK (1020 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD, PARIS, KY 40361, (859) 340-1649) WHERE ENGINE OIL WAS FOUND IN THE SPARK PLUG CHAMBER AGAIN. THE DEALER CLEANED THE SPARK PLUG CHAMBER AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,000 MILES. THE DEALER FURTHER STATED THAT IF THE OIL CHANGE WAS NOT PERFORMED, THE ENGINE WOULD LOSE OIL AND THE OIL WOULD FLOOD INTO THE SPARK PLUG CHAMBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58391349. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,309. *BF CONSUMER STATED DEALER HAD US PERFORM 1,000 MILE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY SEALING DIP STICK/ OIL ACCESS POINTS AND WITH OUR CONCERN/ OBJECTION DUE TO HOW THE CAR QUIT ON THE HWY PREVIOUS, BUT WE WERE TO DRIVE FOR 1,000 MILES AND RETURN TO SEE RESULTS.

FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THEY HAD TO CLEAN A SPOT OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND JERKING TO LANDERS DODGE OFF COLONEL GLENN ROAD.THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DOING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND THE MOBILE HADN'T BEEN BROKE IN . NEVER BUYING A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE I BELIEVE THIS MAN.. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST STARTS OFF IT JERK , STILL DOES IT TODAY. THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T A RECALL I DONT9KNOW WHY NOT IT DOES WHAT THE OTHER JERK ALL THE TIME. DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR PAYING FOR A DEFECT!!!! WHEN CHRYSLER IS AWARE!!! IT JERKS WHEN I FIRST START OFF AND PULLING STEEP HILLS.FIRST TIME I DROVE IT TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TOO. A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP STATING THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AND TO APPLY PARKING BRAKE TO PREVENT CAR FROM ROLLING. I THEN PUT THE CAR BACK IN D BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE, I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN R BUT ALSO WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS, I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THIS ALSO WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO TO ACC, I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THIS MODE UNTIL IT CUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO START IT, UPON STARTING THE CAR WAS IN P AND ALLOWED ME TO GO D AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 10 FEET OF DRIVING ON THE STREET, THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT REAPPEARED, I THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE ON THE STREET AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENED IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 7 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AT LEAST 5 TIMES. EVERY TIME IT WAS EITHER A SIMPLE FIX OR THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM NOW OUT OF MY WARRANTY AND MAY BE FORCED TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION TO BE FIXED. I AM RISKING THE LIFE OF MY 4 YEAR OLD CHILD EVERY DAY I USE THIS CAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT SOMEHOW MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED.

TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP, JERKING, STUCK IN 4TH GEAR AND ALSO IN 7TH GEAR WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR. NUMEROUS TIMES, ALSO CAUSED ME TO WRECK HIT A TRASH CAN BECAUSE IT WAS EITHER THAT IT BE RAN OVER BY A SEMI, I TOOK THE LESSER OF THE 2 EVILS, MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD A LEAK OF ANY SORTS, KEEP IT IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVING, HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE TO FUQUA MOTORS DUNKIRK INDIANA BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT SEEMED OK FOR ABOUT 7 DAYS, THEN I NOTICED IT JERKING AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO FUQUA THEY WORKED ON IT AGAIN, LASTED ABOUT A MONTH NOTICED IT JERKING AND GETTING STUCK IN 4TH AND 7TH GEAR AGAIN CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK ON A HIGHWAY, TOOK IT BACK THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT, THEN AFTER HAVING IT HOME FOR A BIT I HAD A LIQUID ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR FOUND OUT IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID SO I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS FLUID OVERAGE FROM TRANSMISSION FLUID SO THEY HOSED IT DOWN SAID THEY DID THE WORK FOR FREE SUPPOSEDLY ALL THIS WORK FELL UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY YET THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE COST OF MY RENTALS AND I OWN A BUSINESS THAT REQUIRES TRAVEL, SO I SPENT OVER A THOUSAND ON RENTALS. NOW TRANSMISSION IS JERKING AGAIN, FLUID ALL OVER MY GARAGE FLOOR AGAIN, ALMOST WRECKED ON MY WAY HOME DRIVING IT, NOW IT'S BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE UNDRIVABLE SO I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RENTED A VEHICLE, NEEDLESS TO SAY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HASN'T BEEN HONORED, HAS CAUSED ME TO WRECK AND I HAVE A CRACKED WINDSHIELD AND BIG DENT ON FRONT OF CAR, THIS IS MY BUSINESS CAR MY LIVELIHOOD, MY ONLY MEANS TO GET MY DAUGHTER TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN INDIANAPOLIS, I'VE ALWAYS OWNED JEEPS, DODGES AND THIS WAS MY FIRST CHRYSLER, I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS NEVER HONORED NOR WERE MY RENTALS PAID DURING WHICH TIMES THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR, CAR IS DOING IT AGAIN WITH LEAKS OF FLUID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE SWITCHING INTO FOURTH GEAR. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 50 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED IN ORDER TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUMTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2662 BROAD ST, SUMTER, SC 29150, (803) 469-9030) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BODY SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,243.

WHEN COMING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN TO ZERO, THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AS IT DOWNSHIFTS, GIVING IT A FEELING OF JOLTING FORWARD FOR SHORT AND SUDDEN BURSTS WITH EVERY DOWNSHIFT. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGER IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE STOPPING DISTANCE COULD BE INCREASED DUE TO THE JOLTING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. NOT ONLY THAT, IT COULD BE CAUSING EARLIER WEAR AND TEAR ON BRAKING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION IT'S SELF. ALSO, WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT CAN SOMETIMES SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, BEING VERY OBVIOUS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS YOU CAN SEE IT SHAKING, AS WELL AS FEEL IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL, ALL SHAKING STOPS. AUTOMATIC 9-SPEED. 34,XXX MILES
