2015 Chrysler 200

Since the day I picked up the car from the dealership lot, I have had consistent issues with this vehicle simply operating safely and normally. In Arizona, you're legally responsible for a vehicle the moment you sign — even before you drive it off the property — so I was essentially stuck with it. From that point forward, I have been at my dealership nearly every month due to various mechanical and electrical issues. The vehicle has a history of repeated electrical and mechanical failures that affect both safety and basic function. One of the most serious problems is that the car randomly shuts off while driving, including in traffic and at intersections. This happens without warning and creates a serious risk of being hit from behind or losing control of the vehicle. In addition, the car frequently fails to start. It will often require a jump-start just to turn on, but even then, service technicians have told me the battery is not the issue, and in some cases, it doesn’t respond to a jump at all. The problem remains undiagnosed, with technicians saying they cannot pinpoint the cause. The issue appears to be electrical or ignition-related, but no definitive fix has been found. There have also been ongoing problems with the transmission jerking, hesitation during acceleration, and various warning lights coming on, including the battery, check engine, and transmission indicators. These issues began shortly after purchase and have occurred consistently over time. The vehicle has been brought to the dealership numerous times, where they have attempted repairs, but the problems continue. It is not safe to drive and continues to present a major safety hazard due to unexpected shutdowns and unreliable starting. These issues have been acknowledged by the dealer but never resolved, and the vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? • the parking brake randomly turns on mid driving especially on the highway. My car will randomly stop driving but the the radio and everything else is on but the car isn’t on if that make sense. When I go to turn it back on after it shuts off it stutters then finally kicks back on. My tire sensors are completely off , my airbag system is always saying error , seat belt system is always going off. I could be going 50mph and car will shut off mid driving. Yes it can be inspected for FREE. Especially if my car is recalled . How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? • my safety is definitely put at risk and sometimes others depending what my car does that day. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? • no I haven’t had no one to look at it Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? • no I haven’t been in a accident I do my best to get off the road Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? •seat belt sensor is on , airbag sensor is on , and check engine light is on. It’s been going on for about 2 months now There was NO incident but I am very scared their will be. I do my best to be off the road but this is my only vehicle. I just seen an article my vehicle is recalled .

My car is stuck in drive but won't let me turn my shifter to park. It will not start and I have to undo the battery to get it to shut off . But it won't cranck. It sometimes will slow down for no reason and speed up without me even pressing the gas. My shock absorbers look like they are almost off the coil over spring. My lights in my car. sometimes work and sometimes don't. My headlights won't turn on sometimes. I have to kill the car and rest the system on my radio . My radio just started working last week for the first time since I got it and I have had it since October 2024. Bunch more problems . My service brake light and service airbags lights never go off. . My engine lights never goes off. My tires sensors never pick up. My car is currently sitting in a parking lot and since I can't drive it bc it won't shift into park the battery has been stolen and also something has happened to my windshield. Bc my windshield is broken on passenger side.

My car will not go into park. It will not engage. It is staying in gear. I called Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Lee Summit and they say that that has been repaired before there is a recall on it but there’s refusing to repair it. Never had that happen or had it repaired since I’ve owned the vehicle but unsafe and drivable Dangerous I was stuck in the middle of the street for over an hour was very very terrifying. Can you help me figure out what they won’t fix this? Control Automatic Emergency Braking R08 I believe this is to the recall code I run the car for a while, and I have never taken it in for this I was unaware until it lost up on me my number

While driving vehicle lost power and began to show service transmission and park brake check signs. Vehicle lost power and was lucky we weren't rear ended on the road by the Cars behind or cause an accident. Looking at this is year there are several complaints with the same issue. Car only has 33k miles and is having transmission issues.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WA IN TRANSITION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2020, I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN SUDDENLY AND MY GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE MUCH AND IT WOULDN'T STOP PROPERLY. SOME LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH BOARD. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP A FEW DAYS LATER. THE MECHANIC HOOKED MY CAR TO A MACHINE AND NOTHING WAS REALLY SHOWING. HE DID SOMETHING TO RESET MY DASHBOARD ALERTS AND SAID THAT IF IT CONTINUED TO BRING IT BACK. IT DID CONTINUE, SO HE ORDERED NEW COILS FOR MY CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 FOR REPAIR. THE MECHANIC RECHECKED MY CAR AND HE FOUND METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL THAT HE DRAINED FROM MY TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THAT IS NOT NORMAL FOR REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR.

ON AUGUST 23RD, I WAS TAKING MY SISTER IN LAW BACK HOME FROM OUR HOUSE. ON THE WAY BACK FROM HER HOUSE I DECIDED TO WASH MY 15 CHRYSLER 200. WHEN I AS DONE WITH THAT TASK AND GOT BACK IN THE CAR. I NOTICED MY BRAKES WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. I TRIED TO DO THE MAINTENANCE RELEASE THROUGH THE CAR'S RADIO AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME DO IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. SO I THEN TRIED TO TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. SO THEN I THOU MAYBE IF I DROVE IT, THEY WOULD RELEASE AND JUST AS I HIT 45MPH, THEY DID. AND STARTED TO PREFORM NORMALLY. AN HOUR LATER, I STOPPED BY MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HOUSE TO TAKE CAR OF HER DOGS LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS AND WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE. THE CAR BATTERY DIED. I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW CAUSE I DON'T LEAVE MY LIGHTS ON EVER. AND I SAT THERE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TOW IT TO THE STORE WITH CAR BATTERY AND HAD THEM SWITCHED. THEY CAME TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR. SO I WENT OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY WERE RIGHT. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE BUT I COULDN'T GET IT TO CHANGE GEARS. ON MY DASHBOARD. MY SMALL SCREEN SAID TO SERVICE THE PARK BRAKE AND I THOUGHT, WHAT THAT THE BRAKES GOT TO DO WITH IT'S TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED AND SAW MY MILEAGE, 93,568, WAS BLINKING AND MY GEAR INDICATOR AS N. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK THE HOLE TIME THEY WHERE CHANGING OUT THE BATTERY. THE SHIFTER NOB WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT I WASN'T CHANGING THE GEAR EITHER. SO AFTER THAT, I RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE, THAT'S SOMEHOW MADE THE CARE SHOW IT WAS IN DRIVE, AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HOUSE.
