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 on 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. I do have videos of this, but can not upload them. The date below is the date of one of the videos, this problem occurs daily & has been for several weeks. After purchasing the car, there were a few incidents months apart, then it became more frequent, & for the last several weeks it is a daily occurrence.

Car will stall and will indicate on the dash to shift into park while the D flashs on both the dash and on the gear selector. Once the car is in park and I try to restart the car it sounds like it tries to start and times out and I have to try again.

My oil was recently changed 2/28/2019, the oil is 3 months old and I've only drive 2,133 miles since. My car takes full synthetic oil and should last for 6,000 miles. I checked it today 6/12/2019 and my car tells me I have 66% left and I do not I need to get a oil changed even before hitting 3,000 miles because there is none left. I have had this issue happen 3/4 times within the last year and a half and I've only had the car for 2 years. A few months back I got this checked out by my mechanic and even a second mechanic, he told me that the pistons rings on my car are bad and is causing excessive oil consumption, there is no leak etc. So my car constantly runs out of oil before its time to change it and is causing my car to cut off in the middle of driving. My mechanic advised me to report this problem and either change the oil every 3,000 miles or get rid of the car. It is dangerous for the car to continuously cut off while driving it. So I am reporting this problem I've had for the past year and a half with hopes for a solution

My husband got was leaving work today 6/12/19 and pull out from his job to enter traffic but once he was straight in the lane the car began to slow down so he had to pull into a gas station to try and get back started which took about 5 mins of the car winding before it started. So when he got home I had to take my daughter to summer camp and as soon as I made a right turn onto the street and acceralted the car began to shut down again and took about 15 mins in a highly traffic area before it restarted but now the air bag light is stuck on and a warning engine wait light also came on before the car started

First problem: The car stalls and/or dies while driving. It did this while my daughter was driving and she had to pull over on the highway. I managed to get it started and drive it home but it would not go over 25 mph. The check engine light, the electronic throttle control light, and the traction control light (?) were all on. Second problem: There is a message to service airbag system comes on. I did some research and found other people wit the same problem. On the yellow wire box under the passenger seat, there was a black latch (?) that clicked when I squeezed. The message went away.

While driving down the street, the car stalled. This has happened 3 times within the last 5 days. It is unknown as to why this is happening, but the car stalling while driving in the flow of traffic, is a safety risk. During this time, the car would not shift into neutral, and after pressing the start button again, the car starter was continually trying to turn over and start, but didn't. after getting assistance, the car was finally pushed out of the middle of the street from it's stalled position. After getting pushed to a parked position, it finally started, but I didn't want to take the chance of it stalling again, since this has happened three times now.

It seems to happen more in the morning when my car has been idle for a few hour. On sharp turns or abrupt braking in the city my Chrysler 200 2015 will stall. First, the electrical warning light will go off along with a bell warning sound and then the car will stall. I will then have to coast to the side of the road (with no power), stop the car, engage the dial to park and press the ignition button with the brake pedal down again. When I do this, the starter will struggle to start, but after 8 second the engine will turnover. The problem seems to be occurring more now. The problem started happening at 58,000 miles and now I am at 70,000 miles.
