After work I go to start my car and there was a hard start and then my car died. The engine felt like it was going to pop out of the hood. Well, Chrysler was informed and my car was towed next day to the dealership. My service man called approximately 45 min after my car was delivered to them explaining to me I was about 2 quarts low on oil. This is impossible I explained to him. On the driver side there is a sticker showing I just got my oil change not to long ago. My service man said this is a known problem with this engine. This type of engine burns oil and I recommend when you fill up your tank to check your oil every time. I fill up once a week so I have to check my oil once a week!" this is ridiculous my new car burns oil!" good thing this happened after work. What if my car would have stalled while driving with my kids. I drive across town to take and pick up my kids from school. Now I have to carry a quart of oil so my car doesn't stall and die on

2015 Chrysler 200 driving the vehicle on multiple occasions, at least 10 to count the vehicle has randomly lost power and the engine fails. At this point I'm terrified to drive the vehicle for which I just purchased three months ago on the highway this vehicle would be a death trap. Furthermore the vehicle passenger side airbag light is illuminated indicating that it will not comply I've called Chrysler end the Chevy dealer for which I purchase the vehicle and they told me there's no recall and it appears that my warranty will not pay for the car to get fixed.

The engine light continues to remain on while in drive mode the gear shifts remain to move accordingly #1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8 the transmission is starting to slip while in driving mode and that the airbags system is continued to blink on and off these are some of the bad defects that's happening as of now I'm afraid of really driving these vehicle due to faulty systems that may be more than a issue the problems started when in parking and drive mode.

The engine light came on and never went out and that the airbag service systems keep on coming on the my car sometimes speed and then it will not accelerate beyond 45 miles it seems that the car engine is ready to go out at anytime or moment while driving the gear shift is jumping from #1, #2#3#4#5#6 also temp for the outside of the vehicle has been messing up along with the time. I'm not sure what else would happen if I continue to drive it. The car may cause problems later on while driving I don't have any warranty on this vehicle to be repaired and that I have read the recall of all chrylser vehicles from 2010-17 these are the same exact problems that I'm having the parking lights and engine light had came on during parking and stayed on till I left work on the 04/28/17 and 04/29/2017 it also has started to jerking a few weeks ago till now also. I'm afraid to drive it because I just may have a wreck while driving this vehicle. I'm not really as to what is happening with the vehicle.

I was on the highway and the car stalled several times. I sat on the side lane and turned the car off for a minute. I started it up again and proceeded to get off the highway the car accelerated less than 20 miles per hour. My daughter and I were terrified before the car stopped suddenly and cars had to break behind us to avoid hitting the car. I had to put the car in park and put my hazard lights on and it took a while for the car to start up again for me to pull on the side of the highway. It has done this more than just this incident. At stop lights and while driving on the street the engine will stall and take a minute to start up again.
