I was merging onto the highway and my dashboard started blinking telling me I had to park the car. Once I parked it I could not get it to start again and had it towed to Chrysler. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it and reset the PCM to get it to start again.

2015 Chrysler 200. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems and other mechanical/ technical issues. The consumer experienced transmission failure. The engine light on the dash illuminated. The vehicle shifted roughly, there was a faulty transfer of power, and the vehicle surged forward unexpectedly and the engine refused to turn off. The consumer was informed the transmission software was adjusted and the problem was solved. However, two days later, the engine light illuminated again. The consumer returned to the dealer and the following day, he was informed the vehicle needed a new transmission. The vehicle was returned to the consumer four days later with the replacement transmission. However, the consumer continued to experience similar problems before the replacement. The vehicle shifted roughly and intermittently, while cruising, and when lightly pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle would seemingly hesitate only to engage after a moment of uncertainty.

Car will randomly shift from drive to neutral while driving and become completely unresponsive. Some times it allows you to pull over and put into park then drive, most times the entire car except the radio, become unresponsive and have to pull positive battery terminal to reset car. I've brought the car in for service 3 times now with same issue. Every time is getting more and more dangerous as problem is not easily reproducible and have almost been struck by cars from behind or on side of road.

My vehicle has on multiple occasions experienced a jerk in which the vehicle will accelerate with and force from myself. The 9-speed transmission will shift at such a rapid and uncomfortable speed that the car jerks at ever shift. I was braking for a stoplight last week when the gear shifted and jerked causing acceleration that almost made me rear-end the vehicle in front of me already stopped. I have already had my transmission replaced two weeks after buying the vehicle. They then replaced the computer system and am now still experiencing the same issues. I was told by the dealership that there is nothing they can do until Chrysler releases a recall that provides a computer update to fix the issue. I emailed corporate but they refuse to respond to me and no one will provide assistance on this issue. I honestly just don't want to killed in an accident because of Chrysler's' negligence.

Tuesday, June 16, while driving 60mph to work an audible ding, and the D indicator flashing and no power to the wheels, but engine running. I shifted to N then D and resumed power to the wheels. I took to dealer where they had the car for 3 days, and said they did a software update to correct. Sunday, 4:30pm, July 5th. Waiting at stop light there was an audible ding, and the dashboard lights flashed and the automatic S indicator flashing and there was no transfer of power to the wheels. I turned the shift knob to N then back to D, and the transmission engaged, but the ESC (electronic speed control), not the traction control, light on the dash came on and wouldn't shut off until I stopped the car and restarted the ignition. Monday July 6th, 11am, while driving on the highway around 60mph, the audible ding, then D indicator started flashing and there was no power to the wheels, but the motor is running. I turned the shift knob to N, then back to D and the power to the wheels engaged, but the ESC indicator stayed lit. This happened three more times within a 6 hour period as I was on a long drive out of state. Friday, July 10th, the audible ding, then all the dash lights flashing, and a message on the display"service trans stop safely shut off engine to engage park". I just got on the highway going 40mph, and barely got to the curb, and I couldn't turn the shift knob as it was locked. All the shift indicator lights were lit. I turned the car off and restarted and continued to drive. Monday, July 13th, just left the house for work and got about 2 miles going 30mph and the same scenario with the "service trans stop safely...." occurred. I'm trying to schedule another appointment for service.

The car was moving about 25 mph when dash erupted in multiple failure warnings including transmission temperature problem. Transmission locked in first gear and would not shift out of first. Pulled over and waited. Dash and transmission after several minutes returned to normal and I drove slowly home. Brought car to dealer on 29th and they updated software. Had this event occurred on the highway I often use I believe the sudden loss of transmission response and locking up in first gear would have caused my car to be in an accident.

My girlfriend was driving car with our 2 daughters in the back seat at approximately 60 mph during morning traffic on interstate 64 in St. Louis at around 8 a.M.. she was in the middle lane and the car started beeping, service transmission light appeared and started to lose the ability to accelerate or power vehicle. Engine was still running, but basically brought her to a stop in the center lane of traffic. Cars shifter knob was locked in gear, but would not go anywhere. Tried turning car off and back on, but would not go into a moving gear to get out of the middle of the interstate. A couple of motorists tried to assist, but car would not go anywhere. After about 20 minutes when police finally arrived, the car would go into gear and was able to get to shoulder. Dealership had car for 2 weeks. 3 days before even looking at the vehicle and another week waiting on a part. Replaced shifter and transmission control module. Said car was fixed. Car did same thing on 7/3/15, now with a little over 18,000 miles, this time in a residential area about 3 blocks from home. Same beeping sound and service transmission message. Only difference is after turning vehicle off and restarting the car, she was able to get in gear and make it home. After about an hour, I went and looked at the car and drove around the block. Check engine light was still on. Car was very jumpy shifting into both R and D. when returning and putting back into P, made a mechanical sound like a timer being turned. When driver showed up to tow away, check engine light was off, but made same sound when he put parking brake on and off. This is a very serious safety issue and hope is handled before someone dies because their car loses power on a 2 lane road and gets rear ended by an 18 wheeler coming over a hill or around a corner and can't stop in time. I want this car to be bought back by fca.

I bought this car brand new with only 9 miles, it drove home perfectly. The next day I was leaving my driveway which is not on an incline and when I put it in reverse I let off of the brake and it immediately shot backwards before I could even press the gas. I had to slam on the brakes! I thought it was a one time fluke but sure enough about a week later I started noticing unintentional acceleration during braking as well as extremely hard shifting. I contacted the dealership and have an appointment tomorrow but not sure if I can her there or not as I noticed a very loud sound today when the car is in drive. This car has several issues that need addressed and fast!

- Salyersville, KY, USA

9 speed transmission has issues. Upshifts 2 to 3 are harsh and sometimes slams in after waiting too long to shift. Worst, the vehicle actually accelerates when slowing down and downshifting from 5 to 4 (no foot on the throttle). This is repeatable consistently. Several times now during quick stops (I.e. someone walks out on the road) the vehicle had a burst of acceleration while hard braking. Dealer advises nothing they can do - Chrysler rep told them to tell customers "this is normal". unfortunately the unexpected burst of acceleration is not repeatable when needed. Vehicle has already been checked for recall and has gone through 2 software updates.. the car is accelerating on it's own. This car is unsafe!

I was driving in a school zone at about 15 mph when the car jerked then bounced 3 or 4 times. The slowed and when I pressed the gas the RPM's increased but the car did not accelerate. I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in psrk but the D was flashing as if it was still in drive. Warning light were also flashing. After several minutes I was able to restart the car an drive to work. Since then it feels like the transmission is always trying to change gears.

I am filing a complaint to express my frustration and anger. Also because it states on the recall notice I received that I can submit a written complaint if the dealership "fails to remedy this defect within a reasonable time". there is a recall on my vehicle, the transaxle park rod. The recall notice advised to contact the dealership on or after May 1, 2015 to schedule a service appointment. I did so a week later and brought my vehicle in on Saturday, May 16th. A few hours after dropping off my vehicle, I received a call informing me that my vehicle did not pass the recall test and that they needed to keep my vehicle for a few days. I then received a call the following Monday, May 18th and was informed that the part needed to fix my vehicle is on back-order!!! I called the dealership today because it's been two weeks now that I've been without my vehicle. They told me that the part is still on back-order and that we're on the waiting list. What the [xxx] is that"! I understand that my vehicle is being repaired without charge but this is an extreme inconvenience and is ridiculous. I don't understand how the part is not available or a limited supply of it. To hear the dealership tell me that they are unsure when they will be receiving the part and that I'm on the "wait-list" is very upsetting and frustrating. I even asked if I could just get my car and have them call me when the part arrives and they told me "no because it isn't safe to drive." Okay, I understand that, I get it, but I've been driving the vehicle for [xxx] near a year now, and had no safety problems with it. So why can't I have my vehicle in my possession? I just want my freaking car back!!! and not knowing a time frame is very unsettling. So please enlighten me on what Chrysler considers a "reasonable time" for remedying this defect" information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

In September of 2014 I purchased a new 2015 200S. In May 2015 I took my car in to get the recall work done and an oil change at my local dealership jerry ulm Chrysler of tampa and this is where my nightmare begins. Shortly after this visit, the check engine light came on. I took the car back and 3 days after this they replaced my transmission. I picked up my car after the transmission was replaced and I started to have issues with the car hesitating and it would almost feel like if I was driving a 20 year old car with a bad transmission. I took the car back and they stated that several other things were corrected. The car still has a serious issue when you drive, I took it back for a test drive with a tech. After the test drive he stated "the jerky drive is normal with this car". as I told him, if the car drove this way when I test drove it, I would have never purchased the car. I have been waiting for a resolution to the problem from the GM at jerry ulm Chrysler of tampa and to date I have not heard from him. The car continues to drive poorly and the other day as I was driving, the letter D started to flash and the car would not move. I was able to pull over to the side of the road safely. I wasnt able to power off the car or take it out of gear for almost 2 mins. It stopped flashing and I was able to put the car in park and I powered it off. After a few mins, I turned the car back on and it was working again.

On a few occasions going down hill on a highway, there is an unintended acceleration. Then the transmission will stall into gear going downhill as well. The engine will be at very high RPM for the speed I go which is 45-50. Often when I back out in reverse, the brakes make a humming noise.
