I have a file with a complete timeline with the incidents upon request. I am now beginning to really loose any faith in the Chrysler product and the corporate office. Still under power train warranty. But this last recall has thrown me over the edge of considering new company. I had an appointment with local dealership Chrysler for the safety recall that is still open. They couldn't get me in for 3 weeks. I make appointment bc my car keeps loosing ot power and dies or almost dies/.my car lost all of its power while I was driving down the freeway at a constant moving pace with other cars. My car looses all power and I cant even steer the steering wheel and I work into the middle lane. Where freight liner almost hits me in the [xxx] end and swerves to miss me and overcorrects and winds up almost going over the bridge with a concrete wall saving him from ending up on the lower freeway. Once we got through the shock of what just happened. I try to get car to start. It wont even kick over and I cant get it ot if neutral. I call Chrysler corporate bc if I could have gotten the recall fixed sooner this would have been prevented. They tow to Chrysler and we wait 2 more weeks while they get to the car. Meanwhile I am having to pay everyday for a rental car. Which was over $500 and I am a single divorced parent of 2 children. 1 child recently passed from a rare disease at age 7 and my only son just started college in conway and I am so proud and want to support him in this move. At the end of 2 weeks I go to pick up the car and I am billed for 300 for a new battery and diagnostic test. I ask about the safety recall & why is was not done when that is the xavcrt reason we made the appointment? they overlooked that and needed to go do that. This whole experience cost me more than $1000. With time I had to leave work and all their calls to the Chrysler.

Takata recall when I drive my car (especially on the highway when accelerating) it seems to not want to shift into gear. It makes a weird sound like it's trying but it doesn't shift until I hit about 62 mph. One time I was driving and stopped at a red light and when I tried accelerating my gear went all the way into the red and I had to pull over shut my car off and completely restart it. Also sometimes when I brake, it seems like it accelerates first and then slows down. I've tried having someone look at it but it just so happens it didn't do it when someone test drove it. It does it 9/10 times for me though. I received a letter about a recall but I can't find it which is the only reason I had looked into this situation more. It seemed like many cars of my make model and year were doing exactly what I had been trying to explain to the body shop however when I put my VIN in to check, it said my car had zero open recalls. I still wanted to make a report just in case it had been missed.

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.

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.
