The car goes into neutral by itself while driving on the city street. Warning light indicated I needed my transmission serviced while driving on the highway then went away after I let the car sit. Transmission slipped during that time causing the car not to be able to accelerate properly to keep up with the speed limit. Key having problems with my left front tire suspension. Battery died out the blue while parked. Key fob says its undetected but I have it in my hand. I have to put the key directly on the ignition button then push the button to start the car. I wanted to also indicate suspension. The car rattles while driving on regular bumpy roads. My left tire has an issue the mechanic couldn't figure out.

Takata recall I have had my Chrysler 2015 200 for 3 years and since I've had my car it has always had an issue with accelerating on its on. It accelerates when you tap the breaks and it will accelerate on its on taking it off cruise control as well. So last week my car was being driven on the highway and the car was put on cruise control going about 60-65 mph then once the brake was tapped to slow down the car began to lock up and accelerate up to 90 mph. Then after the car picked up speed the whole car locked up steering wheel would not turn or anything and the car ended up hitting a wall. The state of what cause the issue is unknown, however I think this issue should be taken further for an investigation.

While excellerating the car will hesitate. Sometimes this causes the car to jerk very hard, other times the car acts like its stuck in between gears I have almost been hit a few times because of this. When I am stopped and go to take off it will almost stop and them jump forward real fast. Other times it just jerks a few times and takes off. When I first bought my car it shifted into neutral on it's own a few times. This stopped once an update was done. My check engine light used to come on and go off. Now it stays on. We have taken it to advance auto and the scan tool will not read any codes. The radio, touch screen and steering wheel controls will randomly stop working. I had an alert pop up saying the engine temp hot and service electronic throttle control. The car has been nothing but a headache. My basic warranty has expired. I don't know what to do.

The car stalls on my wife every day. She sitting at light or sitting in traffic. You can be driving on the freeway and without warning it cuts off. I am now the only Chrysler owner that is having this issue. This is going to cause a really bad accident, or maybe someone dieing dealing with this issue. I have been calling so see if there is a recall. I saw something on google and said there is a recall but when I call the dealer ship they say there is no recall. What is it going to take for us to get a recall on the 2015 Chrysler 200's engine stalling problem. This started happen back in October 2016.

The car has shuts off while driving. I bought the car used last year in March 2018. It had issues w/jerking between gears and "hopping", but several months ago, just shut off while driving 75 mph on a highway (twice in 15 mins). Dealership attempted to fix. But, its back to same problem. It shut off Tuesday while out of town at a hotel while pulling out onto a 5 lane road. Supposedly fixed, and then shut off on interstate 695 around baltimore last night while two lanes of traffic over. Shutting off with -0- warning while traveling on busy interstates is extremely dangerous and possible life threatening. Per research, this seems to be a major issue for this car, not sure why NHTSA has not recalled it yet.

Often while driving the car down a city street it will stall out in the middle of the street. Thus resulting to trying several times to get it restarted. Before it will actually restart when the ignition button is pressed it makes a winning noise. Ignition button must be pushed again to stop the noise. Then try restarting again.

I have had my the car completely cut of several times without warning. Recently as I was backing out of the drive way the car turned off while in motion and all lights went out. After about 5 minutes the car was able to start and I moved it back into the driveway. It is like it lost all power because the clock was no longer set to the correct time. That was on Monday 1/28/2019. Today as approaching a stop sign the same thing happened again. Without warning and no lights on the dash board. I have noticed that other cars within the same year have been recalled for similar issues but I have not received any notification. I would like my car looked at free of charge as this is a potentially dangerous situation. If I am in heavy traffic and the car just decides to turn off while in motion I can be seriously injured or killed. This is also not the first time I have filled this form out..
