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!!!

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.

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.

From January - April 2017, I have had multiple instances of losing the ability to accelerate or shift gears while making left hand turns. The car throws up error messages regarding the loss of performance shifting and "lightning bolt" symbol. I have to coast to pull over to the side of the road and restart the engine to get moving again. The last time it occurred, I had a truck behind me. Luckily I was moving fast enough and was able to get out of the way without being involved in an accident. I have had the car into the local chrylser dealership on multiple occasions where they have thought they have found the problem in an electrical connector. It is currently in the shop again and has been for the past month and they still can't figure out the problem.

2015 Chrysler 200 driving the vehicle on multiple occasions, at least 10 to count the vehicle has randomly lost power and the engine fails. At this point I'm terrified to drive the vehicle for which I just purchased three months ago on the highway this vehicle would be a death trap. Furthermore the vehicle passenger side airbag light is illuminated indicating that it will not comply I've called Chrysler end the Chevy dealer for which I purchase the vehicle and they told me there's no recall and it appears that my warranty will not pay for the car to get fixed.

Transmission is shifting hard take out of gear while I am moving

- Duluth, GA, USA

After sitting for an extended amount of time at times such as at the bank or drive thru's ect when you pull away it starts fine pulling away slow. Then when you try to speed up to go into traffic it will slip into neutral. The only thing that I have found that helps it is to literally shift it into neutral physically then shift it back to drive. It is very dangerous in busy traffic. I took it to the dealership who "couldn't make it do it" and they said when the red engine light comes on to bring it back. I looked it up on the internet and other people have had this same issue with this model car.

Transmission has numerous problems. Hard shifting, hesitations, and lunging forward are some examples of the problems with the transmission. My car has been to an authorized Chrysler dealership several times for transmission repairs and they will not fix the problem. I've been told by the dealership that Chrysler is aware of the issue but they won't do anything about it because the transmission was designed that way according to the dealership. There have been several times when coming to a stop that the car will downshift abruptly, causing my car to lunge forward, I've almost hit cars stopped in front of me when this happens. I do have service records from each time my car has been in the shop, which started in August of 2016.

I get frequent accelerations when coasting and even applying the brakes lightly. Very disturbing. Additionally there is a large lag from throttle press to acceleration which has caused several close calls when changing lanes in city and highway driving. This started in 2014 shortly after I purchased the vehicle and continues to this day.

Over the course of the past 4 months, my vehicle has completely lost all transmission power 3 times. When this occurs, the information display reads the following messages: "service transmission, " "service parking brake, " "shift to P to select a gear, " "performance shifting unavailable". these messages will continue to display and the car loses all power and will not change gears. The engine does stay on, but will have no throttle response and the car is effectively stuck in neutral. Each of the 3 times this has happened, I have been at full speed, between 45 and 80 mph. The second two times it has happened have been in dangerous and unsafe locations, just yesterday, I lost all power while executing a left hand turn across 3 lanes of busy oncoming traffic. Thank goodness for the small bit of gravity that pulled me across the intersection before a tragic accident happened. Each of the 3 times, I have had the vehicle towed to a certified Chrysler dealership. Each of the Chrysler dealerships have told me that the car "isn't throwing any codes" and does not appear to have a malfunction. They will flash a new tsb, reset the transmission, and send me on my way, only to have it happen again and no one can tell me why. The vehicle is unreliable due to these ongoing powertrain struggles, and more importantly, completely unsafe. It's caused me nearly 2 serious accidents due to total lack of control at high speeds.

While normal operation of the vehicle it shifts hard, stalls after 1st gear into second gear. Has down shifted at highway speeds without driver input. Transmission (9 speed) after several trips to the dealer, the transmission blew while pulling out of the dealership after they said it was repaired. Second transmission and several software updates the transmission downshifted while on a highway at 70mph almost causing a truck traveling behind me to rear end the vehicle since I was in the middle lane with no options to pull to the right. Car is currently at the dealer and during a test drive while on cruise control at 40mph the RPM jumped to over 5K. After the tech shut the cruise off it continued to do the same thing. This transmissions design is scary and immediate action should be taken before someone is seriously injured. Your Agency needs to act now!

This vehicle is prone to stopping when one tries to accelerate into or across traffic. The transmission stalls or slips AT4 to 10 mph. Leave one to feel totally helpless and at the mercy of the transmission. In the winter months it is not worth driving because it can not pull itself through a wet/slippery street. I have taken it in on several occasions with this complaint an have found that Chrysler is aware of the problem which exists in 4 cylinder engines with 9 speed transmissions. "lear to live with it!"
