The vehicle has begun throwing an error message that the engine is running hot and the electronic throttle control needs serviced. The vehicle is running fine and does not appear to be running hot. The lights go off when the car is stopped and come back on about 20 minutes into the next trip. The dealer stated this was not covered under warranty and quoted almost $700 to replace the sensors. We have had the vehicle less than one year (2nd owner) and just rolled over 60,000 miles.

A few days ago the check engine light came on and according to the manual it was not serious but if continued, to have the code checked. I had not had the opportunity to go, but all seemed to be running normally. I was driving on the highway last night and the thermostat light came on and said something regarding the engine temperature came across the messages. I drove to the nearest gas station and checked underneath the hood, and the engine seemed fine...not very hot to the touch so I decided to try and take it to pep boys to have them check it. When I turned the car back on, the light was no longer illuminated and the message was gone, however the check engine light was still on. The pep boys technician checked the code, the code that was read was P0128. I spoke with the technician and he had said he had seen a lot of this issue with the 200 models and advised me to check the recall...which does not have my vehicle for any.

Car stalling out while driving. Stalled 4 times 12/10/17 then was driving rough, as I was going down the street the red lighting bolt came on along with the check engine light, parking light, traction control light. Went to the gas station to put gas in, started car and the car would not go into drive. It took around 8-10 minutes to get the car to go into drive. There was all kinds of warnings going across the screen saying electrical malfunction service immediately and transmission malfunction service immediately. So I take the car in and the tcm is needing replaced and the engine may need replaced. This is not ok for a 2015 car to have this many problems.

My car has shut off 3 times just this week while driving. Each time I was idling at a street light. The dash says to put car back in park and then it takes a couple of tries to restart it. Took it to the dealer they said I have no oil. But I just had an oil change not too long ago and I have no leaks. This car is consuming way too much oil. No warning light came on that I was low on oil. I was in a yielding left hand turning lane when the car shut off 2 of the 3 times. If it had happened a few seconds later I could have been T-boned with my son in the car on that side. Very dangerous!!!!! this should be recalled.

Within the last week, my car has turned off twice while driving it. The first time I was going downhill on an S-curve and the engine turned off and a message appeared on my dashboard to put the car in park and start. The second time I was in stop and go traffic and the car just suddenly turned off and the same message appeared. I was stuck in the middle of the road and had to throw it in park while other cars were trying to go around me while I tried to restart it. When it did restart it, the check engine light was on and it also had a flashing lightning bolt. I was going to go get the check engine light checked the following day, but when I turned my car on in the morning, the check engine light was gone.

Car purchased 10/21/2016, 3 months later problems began. 01/16/2016 service air bag light came on and will not go off. Dealer said it is not covered under my extended warranty, for what reason I still don't know. Taken the car to 3 different shops to work on it and I keep being told it is a passenger seat connector, yet I have had this done 3 times now...$500 out of pocket each time, the light is still on as of 11/10/2017. Now the car also has a service engine light on constantly along with this airbag light. As well as of 10/25/2017 my car has began to tell me the engine is running hot while I'm driving, but the thermostat display inside never even gets to half.. so not sure about this now. As well as also telling me to service the electronic throttle control as soon as the overheat sensor goes off. Lastly I was at the gas station the other day and the car wouldn't start, it said the keyfob not detected but it was in my hand! had to google what to do..(which is put nose of keyfob to button and press it that way if happens to anybody else) soo that would be a total of 4 different lights on at this time of 11/10/2017. Enterprise has yet to help me or get back to me on any of these issues. It was a rental car before I bought it from them, obviously they sold me a lemon! as I was getting an oil change on 11/01/17 I had them run codes and it and it read I needed a new thermostat to take care of the engine overheating and the etc light...needless to say this has been a car from hell. I have filed complaints to enterprise about this car repeatedly especially with it all happening so soon after getting the car. I'm stuck with it now so I would love for somebody to know what there doing and actually fix this car!!!

When the vehicle comes to rest at a stop light or sign and I try to pull out, a warning light flashes, the engine stalls and the message says to put engine in park. When I am finally able to release my foot from the brake and power the car off and try to restart, it tries, but fails at least two times before working the third time.

2015 Chrysler 200 have had nothing but trouble with the car since purchase. Transmission runs very rough, car jerks, shifts gears unexpectedly, engine shuts off while driving. 9/29/17 engine shut off while driving and car hit a curb. Have taken to the dealership over and over and they say nothing is wrong with the car and have not noted in my file that I have complained about transmission problems. Was contacted by Chrysler engineers that were doing a study on the transmission problems and wanted me to test drive a newer model to compare. They admitted Chrysler knew about problems with this model but have been unable to get Chrysler to admit or buy back the vehicle

I was in a car accident Feb 16 2017. Rear ended by a Ford Expedition. My airbag came on but didn't deploy. I hit my head hard and smoke was coming from the steering wheel. The car locks and unlocks on its own. It slows down to five miles an hour on the highway and then speeds up again. I never know what my life will be like in this [xxx] car. It's not worth anything and I demand all the money I put into it back. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While turning onto the on ramp of the freeway one morning, the car engine shut off. I had to quickly get out and push the car out of the lanes. The car prompted shift to park and attempted to restart. After some time approximately 2 to 3 minutes trying to start, the vehicle started back up. The lights were dimmer and power was weak. Drove about a mile (at 32mph as the max speed the car would allow) and it shut off again. Once again prompting to shift to park. The vehicle restarted with no issue this time. Made it to the front of my house, 3 miles away from where it stopped the second time, and it stopped again.
