I have a Chrysler 200C AWD 2015 that is continually sabotaged/refusal to fix by various Chrysler dealers since complaining about a warranty fix issue early on. Ever since its been a series a mishaps since going to the dealer. Gator Chrysler of melbourne, fl and bonafice heirs Chrysler of merritt island, fl both aggressively try to get me to trade the vehicle in instead of fixing it. Repeatedly they state they are not hearing the issues that are not easy to fix, ie transmission hangup between 4th and 5th gear. The car is fixed for various issues that always require me to bring it back. I would like someone from your Agency to pull all records relating from Chrysler, and both of the aforementioned dealers. The phone records and call logs are crucial to the investigation. Also I opened arbitration that was ignored and I feel the car is a lemon. Chrysler at this point refuses to fix the car to standards. Each time they say and list on the paperwork that they will be doing a 16 multipoint inspection. Repeatedly this is stated to be done, but the timeline of fixes do not align. I'm not smart enough and need an engineer from Chrysler to physically come to a local location to inspect the vehicle. Scott pelley and secret shoppers should be done mirroring this scenerio as hearsay is this is common practice given the number of elderly in this area. I can't formally make this accusation, but from missing tires, mysterious mishaps and then being out the vehicle, stood up for rentals, etc. The main point now is I was told the coolant would be checked standard in a multipoint inspection, but it was not because when I left bonafice heirs Chrysler it immediately overheated. They are breaking the car to get back at me and make me look noncredible in the disorganization. I just know its all fishy and is beyond me at this point to audit, but needs to be done for safety.

My car keeps shifting into neutral cant excel the gas when it does this. As I am driving along put foot on gas and doesn't do anything then all of a sudden shifts back into driving. I cant pin point it happens periodically. This is a hazard and dont know what to do to get it fixed garage says if it is not doing to when I bring to them they cant do anything. Please help me I do not want to be in a crash because of car not shifting into gear. I told them about the recall on vehicles they said mine isn't on list but it is doing what the recall says so where am I to go from here. It is still under warranty and I would like it fixed before I get killed in my car. Have already had a couple close calls on freeway. Not a happy camper.

Takata recall: My car had a recall on it for the transaxle wire harness. I took it in to get fixed and my car has been stalling out. It had loss of motive power. It seems to be getting worse every day and the recall was suppose to fix it. It has almost caused a few accidents. I will hit the gas to go and my car will not move then when I take my food off the car it jults and speeds off. This happens when I stop at a stop sign also a stop light. There are no issues when I'm driving on a highway. It is only if I have to stop or go. I also have issues if I start my car and don't let it sit for S few minutes. If I start my car and go to back out it will feel like someone is hitting my break and letting go. Like it won't accelerate right.

Transmission has a harsh shift & slips at times. I've taken it to the dealer 4 times with the same complaint. Chrysler's corporate won't address the complaint because there's no trouble codes or check engine light. I have less than 3000 miles before my warranty expires.

I had just left my house and was driving 25 mph when my Chrysler 200 cut off. The screen read, shift to park to start. I shifted into park and tried to restart the car but it didnt start. Then I waited about 30 seconds and tried to start it again and it started. This was the second time I had this problem. Everytime the car shut off, it was after driving only a few minutes at 25 mph. I almost got hit by another car both times and it was pretty scary because I often drive with my three yr old. The car is a lemon and Chrysler should give everybody their money back or most of it. Chrysler is playing with peoples lives and recalling it doesnt solve the problem.

The car states that the airbags need to be serviced. I have had this checked out before and the dealership reset the system, but the warning keeps coming back. Also, I have been having issues with my transmission. I have had this checked out before and and the dealership hooked it up to their computer system, but I have been having constant issues with the transitioning of the gears. It jumps alot and runs rough. My car also has been stalling in the middle of driving and while parked. Just recently the car isn't even starting. It takes awhile for it to start up. The check engine light is on too and I received a message that states that I need to service my transmission.

(takata recall) my air bag light is on and wont go off they said I had a recall on the airbags, my main concern is the transmission my car has been in the shop at least 20 times for this same thing Chrysler said they dont have a fix for the problem the car is dangerous and they all need to come off the roads. There has even been some deaths due to this recall. Chrysler should be held responsable for this issue but all they are doing is just replacing the part with the same part that is recalled... please do something about this before more people get killed for this car stalling out and shuting off.Chrysler needs to buyback all of these cars because of the sfaety issue with these cars.

On Thursday 03/8/2018 and Saturday 03/10/2018 we started our vehicle without incident and traveled less than 1/4 of a mile down our street when a warning alarm sounded and the dash board read something like, "pull over and place vehicle in park in order to start." When we tried to start (key-less car) it would not start right way and made an almost grinding sound. After about 30 seconds to a minute, eventually it started. I do see 2 recalls for this vehicle which describe the vehicle stalling without warning but when I place my VIN in the search it does not identify any recalls on this vehicle. The recall numbers I believe may relevant to our vehicle is Chrysler's R24 and S55.
