Car would occasionally shift very rough between 2 of the gears, not exactly sure which ones. Vehicle intermittently through itself into neutral while driving. The above incidents were intermittent until the following incident occurred. Before leaving for the day, attempted to start vehicle. Parking brake light began to flash and message displayed various service warnings. Vehicle would not start or go into gear. Removed battery cable to attempt a reset of whatever the underlying issue is. Waited some time and reconnected battery cable, no effect. After trying for some time the vehicle started normally. After this incident the once intermittent issues began to occur frequently. Very rough shifting, far beyond what should be considered normal. Car began to throw itself into neutral when reversing or driving on public roads normally. Loud unnatural, (sounds like its having a very hard time completing the normal mechanical motion) clunk can be heard much louder then what it should be. After this continued while trying to complete a normal workday commute the vehicle went into and stayed in 2nd or 3rd gear(based on speed threshold). Began to research recalls, a major recall for these exact issues was issued and the dealer listed one of them as complete based on 'inspection' instead of replacing a major component with the issue, the transaxel assembly. All of the issues occurring coincide with this and one other recall. The other recall was listed as 'repaired'. either the recalls were not completed or the repairs and inspection are not sufficient.

"takata recall" my 2015 Chrysler 200 started displaying service air bags, and then the service engine light came on after that it shut off twice and now it won't crank up. But the dash lights stay on and the radio playing, so I had to disconnect the battery. Each time the car shut off, I was driving and I was on a major road in the city doing the time period people is getting off work. The car is parked in my yard and will not crank, I believe it is a electrical probably.

When I was on the highway my car went from drive to neutral and back to drive resulting in a sudden jump from the car. I went to the dealer and they just reflashed my transmission instead of fixing the actual problem

I started to feel the jerk randomly while the car switched gears. Took it for an oil change and told the dealership/mechanic three different times. Each time when I picked it up, they told me they were unable to see the problem after driving it around. It happens sporadically but when it does, the car feels like it ran into a wall and jerks hard. If I was able to make it happen I would so the mechanic could see. Over the past few days I have noticed it has been occurring more frequently. This is taking place while in the highway driving 55 mph, with the Cruze control on and still continues with it off. The check engine light also has come on.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving at an unknown speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle reversed instead. The contact had to depress the brake pedal several times with extreme pressure in order to stop the vehicle. The contact also stated that before the vehicle was shifted into drive, it would accelerate rapidly into traffic. The contact had to slam on the brake pedal again to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the cruise control was not operating correctly. The vehicle was taken to Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 24 (1020 belmont St, brockton, MA 02301, (781) 961-1550) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 11,000.

After turning my car on, I put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway, and after backing up and putting the car into drive, the car stalled. Another time, I came to a stop sign and while tryig to accellerate, the car stalled. It has stalled at stop lights, stop signs, and there have only been a battery light come on the dashboard after the car is stalled and in electrical mode. There is no warning or indication anything is wrong then the car will die and will be unable to restart for a few mimutes. I had the alternator and spark plugs replaced yesterday, and I got about 100 feet from my house and stalled at a stop sign this morning. This primarily comes when I accellerate from a stop, or slow speed.

Vehicle was in motion on freeway. As I applied the brake to slow the vehicle down, it suddenly accelerated. Continued brake pressure brought about the slowing of the vehicle. The unwanted acceleration was momentary but frightening as I was in traffic. This is a well known problem with the 9 speed transmission in this and other vehicles with no known fix. Make Chrysler take these off the road!!!

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the gears independently shifted from drive to neutral and the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealer (northgate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, 8536 colerain ave, cincinnati, oh 45251, (513) 385-3900) was notified of the failure. The dealer had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle because the contact had not scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15V470000 (electrical system) and 16V529000 (power train), although the failure was identical. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

The vehicle had two transmission failures where it broke down the first time on the freeway and the second time in the city. Those two transmission failures have not been reported to any car history report Agency or the public. This might be putting someone life at risk. I have to say this that we didn't find any of the following: Durability, reliability, and safety in the vehicle and those were the reason we didn't dive the car that often.

Since the first day I bought this car I noticed there was a hard jolt when it shifted gears. I took it back to the dealership right away and they found that it needed new transmission mounts. Once they fixed it and I got the car back, the problem still continued. I took it back again and they found that the chip needed an update so they took it to the Chrysler dealership for the update and further inspection. When I got the car back the problem was still there. I contacted the dealerships and they told me that this model year car is known for having a rough transmission and that I have to pretty much deal with it. The jolting happens every time I accelerate and it's pretty violent, it doesn't feel safe. The roughest jolting happens between 2nd and 3ed gear and it feels like you've been rear-ended causing you to pump your breaks. The jolting can also be felt when you go from park to drive, from drive to reverse and reverse to drive or park.

Takata recall my car is stuck in neutral the gear knob will turn but it's not switching gears and it also says service park brakes and I know my brakes are good. I've looked online and a lot of people with the same car is having the same problem. It happens when you're riding down the road but this particular time it was parked. That can be very dangerous. If more than one person is having the same problem then something must be wrong.

This is an intermittent problem. The car RPM's go up, but the car is not accelerating in the manner in which it should when traveling 35 miles owe hour. When this happened today the number 2 was displayed near the D (drive) icon on the dash. The car also makes a loud thumping noise( coming from the front of the car) on occasion when going about 35 miles per hour. I have 28K miles on the vehicle and an extended 7 year warranty. I took it to the dealership-stevens creek Chrysler. They said they could not recreate the problem and charged me $200. This issue has happened 4 times before I took it to the dealership and one time after it was in the dealership last week. The vehicle was at the dealership on May 24, 2018.

Takata recall. I got a letter couple months ago about a recall on the air bags saying that they are defected and the company who put them in are going bankrupt. Since I been driving the Chrysler(2017) its has been stalling when I drive. When I brought it I asked me man was there anything wrong he said no. There is still stalling when I drive as if its switching gears(kinda like a stick shift) it's scary because I have kids and places I take the car to is saying its its suppose to do that. I've drove many cars and never experienced the problem. When I'm on the highway an I'm on auto cruise it shifts from the # I have it on to a higher level then once again it's like it wants to stalls and kinda jerks. That's not normal at all because if I'm on auto cruise at 65 mph why wouldnt ot just stay there instead of just trying to switch gears? every day when I leave its jerks when I pull off as I'd it's a sticks shift. Happens literally all the time. I took it to different shops one says it's a recall but others say it's nothing wrong and I cant find anything on who I'm suppose to talk to and really get this looked
