My 2015 Chrysler 200 will just die while being driven. I started the car drove less than a mile when it turned off and coasted to a stop. I tried to restart the car but it just kept making noises, as I kept trying to get it to start it caused the battery to drain so low I had to call aaa. This seems to be a big problem as there are a ton of other people that have had this same issue!

The console screen shuts off completely approximately ever 60 seconds. This occurs both when the car is stationary and in motion. It has been doing this for about 6 months. It has been inspected twice and no diagnostic was able to be produced. Also, the check engine light will not turn off. This has been inspected and turned off twice, but comes back on very quickly.

The car stalled out and completely shut off as I was driving 30 mph. It was extremely dangerous and could've caused a accident. It wouldn't turn back on for about a minute. This has happened twice in the past week. I looked up other people who have had same issue and it shows there was a recall for the vehicle. A lot of others had the same issue. The recall number was S09. I need to know what I should do with my vehicle as soon as possible. It's too dangerous to drive. This happened with my kids in the car.

I was in a hurry and got out of my car without shutting it off. I ran to get the shuttle to take me to work 2 miles a way with the keys in my purse, when I returned 9 hours later my care was still running and the gas tank was almost empty. I thought if you took the key away from the car and accidentally left it running it would automatically shut off after 30 minutes. Am I wrong about this function" as for the transmission it has been slipping in D4 randomly, while driving. The car has less than 65000 miles and I have only owned it for 4 months. Is this a normal transmission complaint"

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.

My 2015 Chrysler 200C all-wheel drive 3.6 L V6 has randomly had bouts of stiffness/lack of normal tension in my steering usually when going to turn hut has happened at other times as well like when changing lanes! also I've noticed a clicking/creaking break pedal that will sporadically get severly stiff and when depressed does not slow the vehicle or it will click and sink like the pedal bbn is going to fall through my floor board while I'm trying to break at any speed! this should be illegal I should not be stuck with the $20,000 bill and have my children riding around in a car that doesn't want to break or steer properly and I've had multiple mechanics look at it and they say everything's just fine with it of course they think that because it's not a consistent problem it just so happens to go out same with many other things on my vehicle which makes me wonder if it's not electrical either way I don't care what the cause is if you can't fix it or if it's going to cause me not be able to steer or brake properly with my children in the car we all deserve our money back because this is not safe and these cars should have never been released to the market!

Check engine light came on. Had vehicle check and got a code. U1504 implausible message data length received from steering angle sensor. Airbag clockspring needs to be replace because airbad may not doploy during an accident. Was told to contact the dealership to see if there was a recall. There is not at this time. This is a defective part of the saftey system on the car and they do not want to cover it.

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

Upon starting car' airbag light may or may not be on. Light turns on and off without warning and has been ongoing. Seems to be rough idle' when I place the car in gear it jerks. During normal driving the car stalls causing a safety concern for rear end impact while airbag light may be on that may cause injury or death. This matter should be investigated and corrective measures taken. After reading testimonials about other 2015 Chrysler 200 owners' there obviously is a pattern with safety concerns.

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.

As I am driving this car was shut off and then I will have to put the car in park restart the car sometimes it will stall before we starting but other times it will restart and then I continue on and this may happen three to four times especially in the morning this is very dangerous for the car to stop while I'm driving without warning it's a hazard and can lead to a bad accident.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. When the vehicle was stopped at a stop light, the vehicle stalled and lost power. The contact would have to depress the brake pedal for the vehicle to power back on and accelerate forward. The contact took the vehicle to don franklin campbellsville (located at 200 N bypass rd, campbellsville, ky, 42718, 877-702-2230) where it was diagnosed that the battery voltage circuit, control module, and front driver's side speed sensor failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the vehicle began to exhibit the same failure. The contact had to jumpstart the vehicle in order to drive. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that diagnostic code: (tipm module U0001) appeared. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

The radio began to buffer and would repeatedly cut off and on while I was driving. The touch screen would be frozen during this time and I could not operate any controls. Eventually the car started to stall due to the buffering radio draining the battery. A new radio is on back order and won't be in until October for an issue that has been occurring since early summer. I do not understand why there isn't a recall on this radio due to so many people having the same issue. If a part is on back order, that should let Chrysler know there is a repeated issue with this and it should be recalled. I have read many complaints about this car and seen videos online of others demonstrating the same issue. I will never buy another Chrysler.
