All kinds of things Chrysler 200. My car has 31000 miles and there's alot of things wrong with it. If it doesn't heat up for 15 to 20 min the car will sputter and due every time I slow down, sometimes it goes into limp mode. Also sometimes it does shift right and the oil pressure light comes on and off when I slow down to go around corners and it gets to sputter and due out. I've had a couple occasions that I have been driving 35 to 40 mph and the car just dies on the road while driving.

****note - need more information. Contacted consumer 12/12/19**** TL the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that all the warning indicators were illuminated when the vehicle was in use. In addition, the gear became stuck in neutral and required the contact to manually release the gear out of neutral. Afterwards, the vehicle would only travel in reverse. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that an electrical failure occurred and suggested the vehicle be taken to a dealer. Dodge country (1902 E central Texas expy, killeen, tx 76541, (254) 200-3900) was contacted and a diagnostic appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V529000 (power train). The failure mileage was approximately 87,000. The VIN was unknown.

Lots of electrical issues. Certain days will not 'detect' key fob. Car will stall and turn off while driving. Stalled on me while on entrance ramp to highway. Lots of electrical issues and throttle system. Will completely shut my car off and ask for 'anti theft pin'. (I bought used from dealership but never given a pin). I will have to turn the car off, get out of the vehicle, lock it, unlock it and restart to get the anti theft code
- Fairfield, OH, USA
I've only had my car for less than 2 months now and the car is not switching gears properly, the car also will not start sometimes the message displays that it is not in park and will not start for a while. On 11/22/2019 the car would not start and it also would not turn off, it was stuck in acc and on mode, it took about 3 hours to get the car to completely shut down. Also, while I'm driving when it actually moves it acts like it wants to cut off while driving on the streets.

Service air bag system notice comes on, as well with the vehicle driving groggy. Does not have proper throttle response, engine shudders and vibrates as well with stalling at a red light. All happens while driving and sitting stationary.
- Hesperia, CA, USA
While driving my vehicle stalls out and gives me a message on the cluster to, "shift to park to start". when I stop the vehicle and shift to park I press the button to start and it hesitates and sometimes have to press 3 or 4 times before it starts. Then I press on the gas while in park and it is a very slow climb in the rpms. After a few attempts at pressing the gas it seems to be ok. I then shift into drive and it moves a few feet and does the same stalling out and error message on the cluster. This has happened several times while on the highway, city streets and sometimes turning. I am scared to drive this vehicle and seeing that there are recalls but none for my VIN # and alot of the descriptions are similar to what I am experiencing.

The car starts fine, but will die when idling or at a decline in speed. Will shut off have you place the car back in park to try and restart. Sometime it will start after 5 seconds after shut off and others will take a few minutes. Its a hard restart when it does start, and drives rough for the first 5 miles or so, and returns to driving fine. My car has done this mulitple times at red lights and while turning onto a exit ramp durning the deceleration onto a highway.

When the vehicle is in neutral is sputters and the electrical flickers. I replaced the battery and it is still doing it. The rpms randomly fluctuate and it's not consistent. I feel like the vehicle is just going to stall out as I'm driving down the freeway. Also the ignition button I have to hold on and cannot just push the start button. It's just not running properly.
- Lakeville, MN, USA
After reaching 75,000 miles, my car started to stall and turn off by itself while driving. I performed an oil change, made sure all the maintenance was up to date, etc. It has a new battery less than a year old, new tires, etc. Eventually it stalled and shut off on its own while stopped and would not turn back on. Every time I try to turn it back on, it stalls and shuts off but the shifter lights blink repeatedly. I have a code that appeared on a mechanic's code reader which was U1504. He could not diagnose it. Chrysler would not look at it and wanted $125 just to do diagnostics. I just wanted to know if this was one of the recalled issues as I know they have been having engine and transmission issues.
- Greenwood, IN, USA
When I'm driving the vehicle after a few feet of driving the vehicle my car begins to to shake then it turns off, while I'm on the street. A lot of lights begin to turn on then my car turns off again. When I try to turn it off the transmission locks into neutral and won't let me turn it off. At some point once the lights turn on my speed begins to slow down, from going at 75 on the freeway it slowly start to decrease and when I hit the gas pedal it takes a while to pick up the speed. It's been like that for about a month.
