I started to feel the jerk randomly while the car switched gears. Took it for an oil change and told the dealership/mechanic three different times. Each time when I picked it up, they told me they were unable to see the problem after driving it around. It happens sporadically but when it does, the car feels like it ran into a wall and jerks hard. If I was able to make it happen I would so the mechanic could see. Over the past few days I have noticed it has been occurring more frequently. This is taking place while in the highway driving 55 mph, with the Cruze control on and still continues with it off. The check engine light also has come on.

Takata recall. I got a letter couple months ago about a recall on the air bags saying that they are defected and the company who put them in are going bankrupt. Since I been driving the Chrysler(2017) its has been stalling when I drive. When I brought it I asked me man was there anything wrong he said no. There is still stalling when I drive as if its switching gears(kinda like a stick shift) it's scary because I have kids and places I take the car to is saying its its suppose to do that. I've drove many cars and never experienced the problem. When I'm on the highway an I'm on auto cruise it shifts from the # I have it on to a higher level then once again it's like it wants to stalls and kinda jerks. That's not normal at all because if I'm on auto cruise at 65 mph why wouldnt ot just stay there instead of just trying to switch gears? every day when I leave its jerks when I pull off as I'd it's a sticks shift. Happens literally all the time. I took it to different shops one says it's a recall but others say it's nothing wrong and I cant find anything on who I'm suppose to talk to and really get this looked

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator kept illuminating, which was a safety concern. The contact stated that the wiring harness was replaced after the failure occurred more than four times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (jim browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram tampa bay, 10909 N Florida ave, tampa, fl 33612, (813) 452-5499) several times, but a permanent solution was not provided. In addition, the vehicle kept stalling. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer for over two months for diagnostic testing. The dealer indicated that they replaced the engine assembly, but the contact was uncertain if the failures would recur. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

I purchased this 2015 200 Chrysler January 1, 2016 from zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of downers. Address 2311 ogden ave, downers grove, il. Leading up to the engine going out the car would just randomly cut off while in motion and also making turns. I took it back to this dealership and they stated that the engine went out. On June 14,2016 that's when I got an engine replaced. I ask if it was new or used and they assured me that it was a new engine. However keeping up with oil changes, my check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic and was told that I needed a tune up done. So I got my spark plugs changed. After that the car would just cut off while in motion and also turning. I tried driving the car to work while turning it on whenever it cuts off. The brakes got so tight on me that I had to use both feet to stop the vehicle. I got the car towed to a car shop and they stated that this car had to be looked at by a dealership.so I got the car towed to the nearest Chrysler dealership and they stated that there was 4 things wrong with this car. Then called me back and stated that this car needed an engine. This car is under a hundred thousand miles and with this problem occurring again for the second time. Looking for help and answers.

I have a Chrysler 200C AWD 2015 that is continually sabotaged/refusal to fix by various Chrysler dealers since complaining about a warranty fix issue early on. Ever since its been a series a mishaps since going to the dealer. Gator Chrysler of melbourne, fl and bonafice heirs Chrysler of merritt island, fl both aggressively try to get me to trade the vehicle in instead of fixing it. Repeatedly they state they are not hearing the issues that are not easy to fix, ie transmission hangup between 4th and 5th gear. The car is fixed for various issues that always require me to bring it back. I would like someone from your Agency to pull all records relating from Chrysler, and both of the aforementioned dealers. The phone records and call logs are crucial to the investigation. Also I opened arbitration that was ignored and I feel the car is a lemon. Chrysler at this point refuses to fix the car to standards. Each time they say and list on the paperwork that they will be doing a 16 multipoint inspection. Repeatedly this is stated to be done, but the timeline of fixes do not align. I'm not smart enough and need an engineer from Chrysler to physically come to a local location to inspect the vehicle. Scott pelley and secret shoppers should be done mirroring this scenerio as hearsay is this is common practice given the number of elderly in this area. I can't formally make this accusation, but from missing tires, mysterious mishaps and then being out the vehicle, stood up for rentals, etc. The main point now is I was told the coolant would be checked standard in a multipoint inspection, but it was not because when I left bonafice heirs Chrysler it immediately overheated. They are breaking the car to get back at me and make me look noncredible in the disorganization. I just know its all fishy and is beyond me at this point to audit, but needs to be done for safety.

Last year had the car in do to the transmission the shop reprogrammed the computer. Last week while driving the car was going 55 and seemed like it quit moving then the motor rpms kept going up. Finally we put the car in neutral and stopped it. Restarted it and it sounded very rough at first then settled down. Was able to drive home 5 minutes away. Next day couldn't start the car. Towed it to the dealer and they said the motor is shot. There was a recall on it for something that I never was informed about.
