The cars entire computer system went out and had to be replaced. Luckily, I was stopped when it officially quit working, but prior to that it had been stalling. When the computer system stopped working I could not start the car or turn any of the internal systems on. Also, the paint on the door randomly started peeling with no rusting or any reason to. The paint has never been redone before and is the manufactured paint.

I have had 20 incidents over a period of 2 years and 8 months I have had 2 Chrysler certified dealers service.the car 8 or 9 times but have never repaired the defect where it will last longer than 3 days to 2 months and 4 weeks. I have been in communication with the national center for dispute settlement but they said that my vehicle was not eligible for the automotive warranty arbitration program. The vehicle was under the power train warranty for all service calls. The fca us customer care rep. Referred me to ncds usa. This vehicle is an unsafe potential physical injury or death liability and I know that the primary importance for NHTSA is safety.

The transmission drive trans is making a clunking noise every time you would stop I took it in and they updated the PCM and transmission control module it shifted better but the clinking noise is still there.the E break automatically comes on frequently when you put it in reverse out of nowhere. The clinking noise happens more when you're in the city and on the highway end it feels like the ABS comes on as well but not for sure

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shifted from fourth to fifth gear, jerked, and the rear end lifted up. Extra force on the brake pedal was needed to stop the vehicle and the rpms increased. While driving 25 mph, the service transmission and engine warning indicators illuminated and the transmission became stuck in fourth gear. The vehicle was restarted and the warning indicators went off. The vehicle was taken to fullerton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (1050 us-22, somerville, NJ 08876, (877) 375-6024) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was 97,000. The VIN was unknown.

Once I tried starting my car I got no key fob detected. When I placed my key fob next to the start button everything would power up but wouldn't crank. The air would turn on the nuetral would flash on the gears shaft but still wouldn't crank. It then wouldn't turn off from run. The car eventually wouldn't show any power so I had it towed to the dealership. They said it was the battery which they replace a year prior so it wouldn't be no cost. Pulis they did an oil change. I called and they said my car was ready. When I picked up my car I noticed the air wasn't turning on and the check engine light on. I went back and spoke with a sales person whom said to bring it back the next day cause the mechanics was gone. I brung it back know they saying the body and transmission needs to be reprogrammed and want to charge me a fee of $700. I'm trying to figure how it went from just a dead battery to know my air don't work and the car needing to be reprogrammed. This is total unfair to me and I've seen several others going through the same problems. If my battery wouldn't have died after only a year I wouldn't need my car reprogrammed and have to spend almost $700. Last year I had an issue with the car cutting off while driving that I had to have fixed now this

When hitting the breaks sometimes the vehicle stalls out in the middle of traffic having to put in park position and try to restart the car. Sometimes take a minute to even restart and it doesn't always let me shift it into drive right away. This in result could cause someone to rear end me. I am noticing there is a recall called R24 which seams to be what is happening to my vehicle.

While driving or accelerating from a stop my vehicle will lose all power and will display a message saying shift to park. The gear knob will flash and lock, the check engine light and other messages will pop up saying to service transmission. Also while accelerating my vehicle jumps. There was one time the vehicle completely stalled while turning. All of my driving is on city streets and very rarely do I drive on a highway.

My car has been taken to the shop 4 times in the last 3 months for the same problem. My car will stall or just shut off. Initially they said the oil cover was not put on securely and they fixed it. Now the car is stalling and hard to shift gears. My transmission light and engine light are on. The light is saying to service transmission. Once again I just got it out of the shop for the same thing. Tired customer. Several times my vehicle was moving when it just stopped. This last time I was at a traffic light.

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 S I have searched the recall database and it says all recalls have been performed. The vehicle has had issues since I have bought it and to no satisfaction has anything been completed. Lights on my dashboard are flashing and the screen is flashing different systems are malfunctioning. It sits in my driveway I am afraid to move it although now it says it has a misfire and the service AWD light is on. When I did drive it the service transmission light comes on and the car will not drive past 1500 RPM.

At about 46,0000 miles the valve body in the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission light came on and said it needed to be serviced. I took it straight to the dealership in albany, NY where I bought the car, and they had to replace the valve body X2 because the car failed to start after the first replacement.

When driving, the car will just stop accelerating and the dash will flash error messages saying service transmission and emergency brake failure. The car will not shift from drive to park, so you have to set the emergency brake to keep from rolling if you are on a slope/hill. I turned the car off and turned it back on a few minutes later and it was drivable, but did the same thing days later. The car has 75,000 miles on it. The car has been parked and not driven since, because I'm so afraid of causing a wreck.

The car stalled at a stop sign and stalled again 3 times after that. It read shift to P to start I did that and it would not let me change gear after that. I know this is a common problem with the Chrysler 200 so it should be a recall. This is a huge safety issue it happened while driving in a roundabout and people could have rear ended me.
