When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on-ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously, this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue.

Chrysler 200 (2015) engine shuts down with no notice. I have to literally stop, put the car in park and restart the ignition in the middle of the road to get the car moving again. Mostly when deacceleration (turning a corner/slowing down for a traffic stop, going over a bump, etc.). The electrical system just shuts off. Notice that the temperature outside is usually warm. Seems to do better in cooler weather. The car does not get hot (temperature gauge has been tested). Oil is full and gets regular changes. It is Extremely Dangerous. Many times throughout this month I have almost been hit. Angry people cuss you out for stopping in the middle of traffic. Not only does it cause me high anxiety but the safety of myself and my grandchild is at risk. I am afraid to drive it but have no other means of transportation. Message displays: Put gear in park, restart engine. No engine light comes on so the mechanics are unable to diagnosis issue. It has been put on the code reader but not codes appear. Midas said it was the Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector (R24). That they couldn't fix it but that it should be under warranty but it wasn't for my VIN #. Prior ( a week or so before) the airbag alert illuminated on the dash (2 different times) but went off after I adjusted my seat. At one time after I started having problems my low light beam indicator said my bulb was out but then went off and my low light still worked (not burnt out). Now my control in the middle of my dash work.

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200. After the car sits for a few hours an engine has time to cool completely down it shuts off on its own after restart and acceleration. If I start to slow down it will shut completely off and tell me to put into park. It has done it countless times on busy roadways, when I'm coming to a stop at stop signs or traffic lights. It is starting to also shut off as I am turning. Not only is it extremely dangerous and completely unsafe but it's extremely annoying. It seems to do it more if the engine hasn't completely "warmed up" before I drive it. They have recalls for this exact problem on certain Chrysler 200S but apparently mine doesn't fall under that recall and seems ridiculous that it doesn't. seems as though tens of thousands of the 200S are having this same issue but they pick and choose what ones are fixed. Is Chrysler waiting for families to die in car accidents before they finally fix the problem!?

I purchased my 2015 Chrysler C in 2017. I started having issues with the transmission jumping every now and then. My car is at 60K miles now and I have a sensor light on telling me service AWD. I took it to have it decided and the reading I got back was P1634 and P1634 00. The power train issue has been fixed before I owned it and now from the sounds of it, may be going bad again. I smell a burning smell from time to time when driving on the highway. I'm trying to take my car in to get serviced but everyone's telling me no open recall. However I keep reading about recalls on Chrysler 200 power tranny. I have lost so much money on this car it's ridiculous! my daughter is a new D

The vehicle would cut off causing me to swerve to the side of the road to avoid an accident. It would stall while driving which also caused issues. Then it would just not start and once taken to the dealership on three separate occasions was told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Car stalled while I was driving once on the highway and I had to swerve on to the side of the ride almost crashing and causing a accident and then a couple of time on the main road which also result into me having to swerve out of traffic almost causing a accident. The car will tell me put it in park I did that and then sometimes it will start up sometime it won't.

Beginning at mileage 83,931 on 4/5/2021, my 2015 Chrysler 200 completely shut off and lost all power while sitting in traffic at a traffic light. The car would not budge nor restart for serval minutes, leaving me stranded at a busy intersection during rush hour traffic. After the car restarted, I drove home while the instrument panel lights would intermittently flicker and go completely dark them come back on as if nothing happened. Today, 4/6/2021, my car shut completely off, no power and no warning, once again leaving me stranded for minutes blocking traffic. The car, once again restarted after waiting approximately six minutes. This is very dangerous and can cause a serious crash and potentially kill me, my children, and other drivers on the road due to the car shutting off without warning while traveling in it. After the incident occurring today, the car behaved as if it were going to shut off while in motion; however, I was able to make it the rest of the way home without further incident.

My car was repaired for a recall in 2016 for the power distribution center. Recently the car has been dying out while stopping, in drive thru and while waiting in traffic. I've brought it to 4 mechanics who couldn't find the issue. Today the mechanic determined that the issues the vehicle is having are in direct relation to the issue that was covered in the original recall. Repair was faulty and dealer is refusing to fix the issue that is happening again.

Have had car less than a year. Air bag lights constantly come on and I have to get it repaired - light is on while driving and while stopped. Light came in the day I got the car as I was leaving the lot and they refused to do anything for it. Also the car keeps stalling. Had the battery replaced and alternator checked, which is running almost like brand new. The car still stalls while driving it with no warning signs at all. No lights are on it will just happen, again, with no warnings. Everything gets locked up and I can't even put the car in neural to back it out from the middle of the street. The car can barely handle highway speed limit of 70, the bumps or groves in the road almost feel like it's pushing the car and it will spin out (this is in dry warm weather). I've checked the tires they are fine. The entire suspension is bad and needs replaced. The charging systems for your phones don't always work, it's off and on. The chargers work just fine in the house so it's not the cords itself. Was shown the carfax before buying and there are no accident reports.

Without any warning, vehicle will shut off making it hard to steer and brake. Vehicle will then take upwards of 15 minutes before it will restart. This has happened while in motion, and, while parked.
