As I was on my way to work at 5:30 am this car stalled and told me to pull over, turn off engine and place in park. I live in country so there was nothing but a back country road. The car would not start at all would not shift into park, I called my husband to come help me. He had to pull both battery terminals off and reconnect them. After I was 2 hours late to work the car finally started again. Since this incident this has happened 3 more times at different times of day.

2015 Chrysler 200 have had nothing but trouble with the car since purchase. Transmission runs very rough, car jerks, shifts gears unexpectedly, engine shuts off while driving. 9/29/17 engine shut off while driving and car hit a curb. Have taken to the dealership over and over and they say nothing is wrong with the car and have not noted in my file that I have complained about transmission problems. Was contacted by Chrysler engineers that were doing a study on the transmission problems and wanted me to test drive a newer model to compare. They admitted Chrysler knew about problems with this model but have been unable to get Chrysler to admit or buy back the vehicle

Transmission makes hard shifts. It is the 9 speed automatic transmission. Vehicle has the 3.6 V6. Hard shifts come at any speed. Between I think 3rd and 6th gear. It doesn't matter if your are casually driving or press on the accelerator to speed up fast. It is a jolt that you never expect. We complained about it once. They said they had done an update and it seemed better. Now it is out of the bumper to bumper warranty and it is doing it again rather frequently. Like 3-4 times a day. Unsure what to do. When it happens it feels like the transmission is going to fall out. Feels scary. Usually going straight probably between 25-40 mph. I selected date below. But this has occurred since about 3 months after purchase and continues.

While turning onto the on ramp of the freeway one morning, the car engine shut off. I had to quickly get out and push the car out of the lanes. The car prompted shift to park and attempted to restart. After some time approximately 2 to 3 minutes trying to start, the vehicle started back up. The lights were dimmer and power was weak. Drove about a mile (at 32mph as the max speed the car would allow) and it shut off again. Once again prompting to shift to park. The vehicle restarted with no issue this time. Made it to the front of my house, 3 miles away from where it stopped the second time, and it stopped again.

Transmission is unsafe. Very choppy. Stalls on acceleration which is very dangerous to pass. "hesitates". will sometimes shift into neutral. "lurches" forward. Very obviously not a good transmission, passengers in the car are very aware of the choppy transmission gear changes.

Ive been havng problems with my vehicle since I first purchased. The car slips gears and takes off and stagger while on highway. Ive made several attempts to have problem fixed by Chrysler. I was told that the transmission doesn't match with software and Chrysler is looking to fix issue in the future. Thecar feels really unsafe. After doing research, I also noticed that this car was sold to me way above price that was offered to others. I also feel that the contract is no longer valid as the car dealership requested a certain amount to pay off my trade in. I later found that the amount was nearly $300 less than the requested amount. I was told that any excess fund will be released to me. Its been over a year and I have yet to receive the refund.

Mostly hwy driving~engine light comes on, transmission light is on and vehicle speed decreases, unable to accelerate. When I come to a complete stop, most times the screen will reset, the engine light will go off with in the next day or two. Stored codes have been P1da9, P073E. I've taken the care to the dealer, software reset-only solved the problem for a short time. Searched for recall by vehicle and there are at least 7, but when searching by VIN # states none. This has happened numerous time but I will enter most recent date with complaint
