2015 Chrysler 200

WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH THE 200C JERKED FORWARD AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. ALL LIGHTS ON THE GEAR CONTROL WERE LIT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. THE SYSTEM SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE WERE UNABLE TO DO ANY OF THIS BECAUSE THE CARE WAS STUCK IN DRIVE SO WE WERE UNABLE TO EVEN PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFE AREA. WE WAITED 20 MINUTES IN HOPE THAT THE CAR WOULD RESET ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT AND WE WERE ADVISED BY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO RESET THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT HAVE A WRENCH IN THE CAR IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WE HAD TO FLAG SOMEONE DOWN FOR A WRENCH. VERY SURPRISED THAT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DID NOT COME OUT TO HELP WITH THE SITUATION. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND WAITING ABOUT 1 MINUTE THE CAR RESET AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WE NOW DRIVE WITH A WRENCH IN ORDER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHEN I CALLED FOR SERVICE CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE!!! THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE CARS WERE FLYING OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND COULD HAVE REAR ENDED US. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE STUCK IN DRIVE AND YOU CAN'T EVEN PUSH THE CAR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL UNTIL TODAY WHEN I HEARD FROM THEIR MANAGER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT TO BRING THE CAR IN AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

MY CAR JERKS AND/OR HESITATES WHILE DRIVING. FROM A COMPLETE STOP POSITION MY CAR HAS SPUTTERED WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURN IT BACK ON SO I CAN GET IT TO GO. I HAVE A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND YOU CAN HEAR IT CLEARLY COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. A BRAND NEW CAR AND IT HAS A LOT OF TRANNY ISSUES. THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC IS THE WORST DESIGN WITH MAJOR FLAWS. CHRYSLER DOESN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT THROWS A CODE. 15 TIMES IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT IS STILL THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT NO TECH CAN FIGURE OUT. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE BUYBACK PROGRAM THEY OFFER IS A SHAM DON'T BELIEVE THEM.

I WAS STOPPED AT STOP SIGN WHEN I TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT COULDN'T GET TRACTION WITH BACK TIERS IT FELT LIKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE LOCKED UP AND IT JERKED BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR. I STOPPED BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAPPENED ON 8-28-15. ON 8-29-15 WAS IN A DRIVE THRU AND WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND I PUT IN DRIVE IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND FROM ENGINE AND CAR JERKS SOMEWHAT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT HESITATES TO GO. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION TO GO, AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK IF THE TIRE THING HAPPENS AGAIN.

ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE WHEN IT HESITATED SLIGHTLY, SEVERAL TIMES ITS BEEN IN FOR "FUEL ISSUES" WHICH STARTED BACK IN OCT 14', BUT THIS TIME IT NEEDED AND TCM UPDATE. AFTER THIS WAS DONE IT CAME BACK WITH A CODE READING IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M GLAD MINE WAS JUST STARTING THE JERKING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, EVEN THOUGH NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, IT MAY HAVE BEEN FAR LONGER THEN THAT BUT ONLY OCCASIONALLY, IN REVERSE AND WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED.THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY ISSUES AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE BECAUSE AT ANY MOMENT YOUR TRANSMISSION CAN DROP ON IT. FOR A NEW CAR THIS IS TOO MUCH AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE DRIVING THIS CAR IF IT CUTS OUT AT THE WRONG TIME.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY SPOUSE AND I WAS TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGED FORWARD CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I STILL HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY SPOUSE NECK WAS HURTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAD YET TO BE RESOLVED. THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOCK AND I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND IT 'S STILL THERE. THE CAR STILL LUNGES FORWARD FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD AN UPDATE ON ITS SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT ROLLS FORWARD QUITE A BIT. 2 TIMES IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE 5 TIMES AND TODAY IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG. CONNECTORS WERE CHANGED AND WIRING 4 TIMES. CAR HESITATES A LOT ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND STILL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT ON A MAJOR ROAD FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR ROLLED A LITTLE AND DIDN'T GO. IT HESITATED JERKED HARD AND WENT REALLY SLOW. A GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANNY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR VIBRATES. I DON'T HAVE NO AC NOR RADIO ON AND IT JUST VIBRATES. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLERS STAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY VEHICLE JUST UPDATES. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT SPENDS ABOUT A WEEK IN THE SHOP ONCE A MONTH SINCE APRIL. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT BUT THEY CAN HEAR THE RATTLING AND FEEL THE SOUND. I EVEN HAD ONE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DEAL WITH IT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING BUT STAR ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YET AGAIN IT IS AT THE SHOP TODAY GETTING AN UPDATE AND THE AIRBAG BEING REPAIRED.

2015 CHRYSLER 200 RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE RAC IN DALLAS, TX. 2.4L FOUR-CYLINDER/9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRAVELING AT STEADY 55-60 MPH ON A CONTROLLED-ACCESS TOLL ROAD. I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO APPROX. 65 MPH TO PASS A VEHICLE AHEAD, TRIGGERING A DOWNSHIFT. I THEN DETERMINED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WERE NOT FAVORABLE TO PASS, SO I REDUCED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE IN PASSING GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE SLOWING. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-75 MPH, AND EACH TIME IT TOOK THE CAR BETWEEN 4-7 SECONDS AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING AND BEGIN TO SLOW.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MPH. VEHICLE STARTED BLINKING PUT CAR IN PARK, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARK BREAK. THEN, IT SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. ALL GEARS LOCKED UP AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I WAS A SITTING DUCK IN THE ROADWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED X2, JULY 2ND, 2015 AND AUGUST 10TH, 2015. HAD IT TOWED BOTH TIMES. FIRST TIME CHRYSLER DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED TCM. THIS SECOND TIME THEY ARE STATING THE CAR IS READING MULTIPLE CODES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY WHOLE PANEL TURNS OFF AND ON, I GO TO TAKE OFF AND IT HESIATE A FEW SECONDS THAN GOES, IT DOES IT AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, BRAKES MAKE A REAL LOUD NOISE I LEAVE IT PARK MOST OF THE TIME I AM AT 6320 MILE I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL 17, 2015 I SHOULD BE OVER 10,000 MILE BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT
