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.

Purchased 2015 Chrysler 200 at 4:35 pm. Got on hwy 25 miles West going home I-70 West to bonner springs, the car started hesitating, I nearly got thrown off highway by 3 semis- adnd 2 trucks and cars behind me, let off horrible burning odor, and nearly threw my body out of the car, but I handled well. I got off I-70 to state avenue- runs parallel directions. Then, when I came to a number of lights- the engine revved up, like it was jerking motions. I paid it some attention, but was at a loss for words. I thought I was on a race track engines revved up, but I was not going to a race track. So, I came home- settled now down TO2:445 in the morning very shaken up. So, I notified the televisions news stations and the Kansas City star newspaper as we speak. I decided to read the "Chrysler 200 reviews, and I am sure you can pull them too. I just searched for Chrysler 200 reviews- and I read so many "exact" stories- I don't know what to say. I cannot sleep. This is the worst feeling I have ever had. Read the reviews. Help people live, and get rid of these cars. Just think, it has great leg room- I had plans for my nieces- to go to Texas, we cannot die at once. I am not ready to be buried- at least let me teach a few more months and years. Had it been snowing, I would be dead. My life has been turned up side down, since 4pm. It is not just me. Don;T let these people kill kids, my nieces could have died this weekend. I thought I was going to pick them up, but I am so shaken, I am ice cold all over. I pray to god- you will cease these vehicles at once. Please don;T let any more people drive these cars- and please show these on face the nation on channel 5 cbs stations. Thank-god- my nieces are alive. I am so glad to be home. I plan to get a police escort to the dealership 9/12/2017. I have had so much trouble finding honesty. God bless us.

Twice in the last two days, the car engine has shut off on its own while in motion, and the "vehicle at too high speed" flashed on my dashboard as it asked me to put it in park to restart the vehicle. Imagine if I was on the highway going 65 with cars all around me! an accident, possibly deadly, would have occurred! I have a 7 year old child, and this car is putting us both in danger. I didn't pay for a death machine, I paid for a working vehicle that is supposed to keep me and my family safe. This hits all of the qualifications of needing to have a recall issue, as I've seen at least 20 other complaints about this issue on carcomplaints.com. How many people have to be affected/injured/killed for this to get fixed?

The car will not crank even though the key fob is in close proximity. It can take up to 1 hour (sometimes more, sometimes less) to get the car cranked. The car starts at random...no special technique can be used to get this car to crank as it should. The key fob works for locking, unlocking doors; however, it does not work to start ignition. I have replaced the battery in the fob, had the car's battery tested (it's in good working order), taken it back to the dealership of purchase twice. I have been dealing with this issue for several days now in upper 90 degree weather in Florida. The vehicle is immobile/stationary. The occurrences have happened at home, work, grocery store, restaurant. Additionally I have noticed that the car skips while in motion. It feels as if something gets hung up and then releases. This is unsafe and frustrating. This car is crap!

We traveled two hours away for an event. When we were leaving the park the car stalled. No steering, no brakes, and no dash lights. We almost side swiped a camper before the car finally stopped. Another time driving down a busy highway the cat just dies. Etc light comes on. We take the car ti the dealer and they tell us its because the oil was low. I dont understand how the oil being low is going to stall out the car, there was no indication of oil issues. No lights were on in the dash. This car is unsafe.

When I am in drive and turn a corner onto an uphill street, my car's bell sounds and the dash readout says "press ok for kmh" then the engine cuts out and the car stalls. It will restart after a couple attempts. This has happened several times over the course of a couple days. The car is still under warranty, but a dealership won't be able to fit it in for two weeks. I have appealed to Chrysler in two separate phone calls, but they have been unhelpful and will not agree to reimburse costs if I go elsewhere.

The airbag service light came on I took it in to where I bought it and they said they had to reset it. It went off and 2 days later it came back on and never went off.. now it stays on. I was told there is no recall for my car. The transmission jolts when going from 2nd into 3rdwhile driving also. And my middle console the controls air and sound works when it feels like it.

Engine stalls/cuts off at any moment without any signs or warnings. The issue happened for the first time in July 2016 and the car was with dealership for about a month. They gave back the car 3 times without proper diagnosis and it kept stalling at different times. I had to open up a case at Chrysler and explain them the risk of driving this vehicle when it cuts off on freeway and finally at 4th attempt it was fixed. They mentioned that the recall which was performed in June was not done properly. 2017, I went in for another recall and just after a month again in June 2017 I am having this issue again. The engine stalled on me when I was on first lane on freeway, again a risk experience. The car is with dealership since last 15 days and they are also able to recreate the issue. There is something really wrong with this year's model and I have seen other complaints as well from other owners. I am selling this car as soon as this is fixed.
