Transmission shifting issues on 1st gear and when downshifting this is a known problem even in the dealership the mechanics said this is a recall in progress but no website not even mopar shows this recall; it is a known issue and Chrysler is evading it. I have taken my car there twice and they do nothing and tell me to wait for the recall letter; it is unacceptable. The car will over rev and shift abruptly taking off or downshifting I feel like I will hit another car one of this days or have an accident. See attached files I have contacted mopar and the dealership twice with no results.

I purchased the vehicle froma local certified dealer in the end of April 2017 in may I had to have it towed to there location becasue the vehicle wouldnt turn on or respond they claimed it was the battery but ever since then the car been shifting weird the told me it need to be taken to a Chrysler dealership. Just last week (July 4th weekend) I was driving to a friends house when the car wouldnt go past 35mph as soon as I stoped the vehicle stalled. Itried to turn it on but it wont and it kept the starter even tho I let off the start button. I was scared to think it may cause a fire. 2 days after that I got the sama situation but this time the display would not work and the car stalled again resulting me to apply the hazards and try to avoid to get hit by vehicles. I have a current vedeo that show what it was doing

A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. My husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. I called Chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the Chrysler dealership. After 3 days in the service dept I was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. Since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. Luckily this happened as I was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when I was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. I'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time I may not be as lucky. I leased the car brand new in Aug. 2014, the lease ends Aug. 2017.

I intended on keeping the car after the lease was up, but now I'm concerned and feel forced to give it up, even though that may not be the best decision financially. And if I do turn it in, the issue could affect the next owner.

The car intermiently slips into neutral while driving it. I've taken car into dealership and cannot make it replicate. Called Chrysler and even though I have found many complaints such as this, they will not pay for fixing it because they say the car hasn't been placed under a recall.
- Carlsbad, NM, USA
This Chrysler 200 MY2015 suddenly fails transmission indicating AWD not available and fails to accelerate. Works back sometime for few minutes after stop and start engine again. Majority of the times fails to accelerate with the indication of a collision in the dashboard. Attached a picture on how it looks. Incident happened in many occasions like while driving on a freeway as well as city street, stopping in a signal light.
- Farmington Hills, MI, USA
Several recalls have been completed and we have received 2 different new transmissions; however, we continue to experience sloppy gear shifts and inconsistent sluggish acceleration. When acceleration is needed, the engine will sometimes rev up to 5000 rpms for 1 to 2 seconds before feeling a harsh slip into gear which causes the car to jerk. In close encounter situations this leaves a very uneasy feeling that you are unable to get out of danger in a reasonable amount of time. The action seems to occur most often when decelerating quickly and then accelerating quickly as if the vehicle is stuck in too high a gear for a second or two and then harshly down shifts as you have it floored because it isn't going anywhere. Dealers can't always reproduce in the brief test drives they conduct. Recently, they flashed the "quick learn" component and say it now appears to be driving as designed...but if this is the design, it seems very unsafe.

- Mount Vernon, TX, USA
The purchase of this car has been a headache since the first month of ownership. I immediately had to have a new transmission put into a brand new car, which is unheard of. There have been at least two re-calls for different parts of the car and I'm tired of spending money on a car that is a lemon!!!

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (garden city Chrysler in hampstead New York) on several occasions, but the failure could not be duplicated and no issues were found.

- Hampstead, NY, USA
Vehicle engine cylinder walls suffered from excessive scoring during the time it was manufactured. The car constantly stalls, shakes, and jerks when driving and during idle periods. This vehicle is very unsafe to drive, due to the fact that control over the vehicle is limited because of theconstant shaking and rumbling of the steering wheel while driving. While I was driving the Chrysler car on the highway, the vehicle almost shut off completely, subsequently putting me and my newborn baby at risk of a fatal accident. The vehicle has also been diagnosed with many other issues with the power train components of the engine. One morning in my garage, the 200 would not crank when pressing the push button ignition and after this, the manual transmission would not shift the vehicle into neutral in order for the car to be towed. This vehicle was purchased brand new in 2015, and Chrysler has failed to fix or acknowledge these issues.
- Oakland Park, FL, USA
While in motion, this car will shift violently into 3rd gear as well as 5th gear. The entire car jolts forward when this happens. This seems to be a major problem for many divers of this vehicle when doing a quick google search. Why has nothing been done to correct this issue? this is not a one time event. It is a daily event. It happens when driving the car on any city street or highway.
