At about 3,000 miles, whenever I would put the transmission into park, the car would roll backwards or forwards. This happened consistently until I took it to the dealer for repair at 9,300 miles. The only way to keep it from dangerously rolling was to always have the emergency brake on. When I took it to the dealer, two service writers verified the problem by rolling the car when it was in neutral, but the mechanic said they said they couldn't replicate the problem and said the car was fine. As I drove it away, while still on the dealer lot, I parked (placing the car in park, of course) and got out of the car to ask the service writer one additional question. As I walked away, the car rolled forward about 25 feet and crashed into a new Chrysler can on the dealer lot ' causing damage to my car and the new dealer car.

If the park pawl does not properly engage, the vehicle may rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmission, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014.

During launch of 2015 Chrysler 200 at sterling heights assembly plant vehicles have had at least 30 torque failures or no reads for critical joints. Therefore torque would have to be verified manually. Unfortunately the company has not provided the proper sockets to the wrenches to verify the joints. Despite this management has pressured supervisors to leave no defects on the line. This environment has caused supervisors to buy off on unverified torque on critical safety joints.
