Purchased 6/29/2015 had no issues with the car at all until I took it in for oil service on Nov 21st, 2015 and was told there was a software update that had to be done. (wasn't given an option). Since that update the car shifts extremely rough when down shifting from 2 to 1 and lurches violently forward, it also shifts hard from 1 to 2. the dealership gives you the explanation that I need to drive it 1K miles and it should be ok? it is a danger to drive and my wife won't use it.

I had a safety recall on my 200, take it to the dealership on Nov 18th, 2015. They reprogram module, powertrain control (PCM). Right after that my transmission started to act all crazy, not shifting right or down shifting. I called the dealership again, got it back on December 2nd, 2015. They said they re did the transmission and they have advised me to drive it like that for two weeks to relearn drivind and to bring it back if it doesn't improve. The car is acting even worse, the tachometer seems like it is not coordinated with the speed, the transmission seems like not releasing when I brake. I feel unsafe driving it, this is not the car I bought a year ago. I drive at least 50 miles per day in a car that doesn't give me a good feeling about it.

- Belle Vernon, PA, USA

Purchased this car in the spring, the car had 100 miles. Although the car is an automatic the car was down shifting hard, mentioned this to service where they stated the car was getting used to my driving. I have driven manual transmissions for many years where the transition between gears was far smoother. This continued until around 10,000 miles when engine light finally came on. Transmission completely failed and was replaced. Since then two recalls have been performed and the down shifting issue has worsened. Again told, car needs to get use to my driving as it is all digital. Drove a 2015 Dodge journey while car was worked on for a recall, it had 9,000 miles all digital...had zero issues with down shifting. It is completely unacceptable to have payments on a car that clearly should not be on the road. 1st and last Chrysler I will ever own. I am frequently on the highway with children in the car and do not feel this is a safe vehicle.

- Boynton Beach, FL, USA

Car began lurching forward upon acceleration so when I took it in for a recall, I asked that the dealership look at it. They stated that it was fixed with a software update that they completed. The next day the car began lurching forward every time I came to a stop. Once I come to a complete stop it shifts and lurches like it wants to go. I took it back to the dealership, where two employees tell me they are aware of many with issues like this but according to Chrysler nothing is wrong. The paper work they gave me states nothing is wrong. The car lunges every time you stop. This is not "normal". the dealership says that once another software update to fix it is available they will call me. I don't understand, if "nothing is wrong" why would they need to call me when a fix is available? this car is dangerous and it has 2,300 miles on it.
