The car is shutting of while driving in traffic; no warning signs are on and care gives no warning. I purchased the vehicle used on January 2015 from russ darrow in milwaukee, wi and they are not being any help this is truly a safety issue for myself and other vehicles on the road with me. This happened to me 4 times now within the past 48hors and once while I was on the freeway.I looked online at other makes and models in different the same state and different states by customers driving the same vehicle and the exact same issue as my vehicle this is scary and dangerous because this could the cause of a deadly accident. The vehicle gives no warning its bout to shut off I feel like this matter should be taking seriously and look into these vehicles she be done. This is scary and especially when your using the vehicle to Transport your young children. Please look at this complaint and others driven this vehicle because Chrysler seems to not care about the safety of there consumers

When driving the vehicle the vehicle stops. This has happened 10 times all together and this is while driving this issue is dangerous. We do not have another vehicle at this time and we have contacted Chrysler via twitter, the dealership and no help has been given.

This Chrysler 200 MY2015 suddenly fails transmission indicating AWD not available and fails to accelerate. Works back sometime for few minutes after stop and start engine again. Majority of the times fails to accelerate with the indication of a collision in the dashboard. Attached a picture on how it looks. Incident happened in many occasions like while driving on a freeway as well as city street, stopping in a signal light.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 limited has been experiencing the same thing as all other reports. 06/08/17 car turned off while driving and would not immediately turn back on. When it did it would sputter and then stall. 06/09/17. Check engine light came on code P2172 for throttle actuator control system and the car would not let me accelerate past 32 mph. One of the possible issues would be an open or short in the wire harness. This is something that is discussed in the R24 recall however, my VIN is not on the list yet. This is an extremely unsafe vehicle and it needs to be addressed immediately. I'm confident that there are more than enough people to begin a class action suit. If I have to post on here again and add accident, injury, or death. The lawsuit will hold a very different meaning.

This car is a death trap I purchased it April 19, 2017 27K miles haven't made my first payment yet and the car is about to kill me. Engine stalling while on the highway right in front of an 18 wheeler I lost acceleration and car cut off. Car jerks back and forth very hard then tells me to put it in park and restart numerous times. Sometimes doing so doesn't start the car until after a few tries. This car will cut off lose speed and nearly break your neck driving rather you are at a low or high speed going up or down hill. Took it to Chrysler they don't seem to know what's wrong with it they kept my car still to say they don't know what's going on with it. There's no lights that are popping on and no warning before it happens please do not buy this car. I've been losing acceleration on the highway and just driving through the city.

The passenger airbag alarm stays on and interrupts the info on the dash. The radio has turned up on its own and would not turn off even when the car was turned off and door opened. The engine constantly stalls especially when making a hard or fast turn or when braking hard. Sometimes jt cuts off when idling. It is always hard to get restarted, and requires several minutes of trying. The radio problems happen when stationary. The airbag light us constant during stationary and movement. The engine stalls happen mostly when deceleration or hard turns or braking. Sometimes a red light with lightenjng bolt appears on dash and the car will ride very rough until turned off and turned back

When the vehicle is down shifting to make a stop it skips 2nd gear completely. It goes from 3rd to 1st with a lurch forward that almost feels like you have been rear ended. And has almost caused a collision with the vehicle in front of me numerous times. I took the vehicle to the dealership who performed a update and was told that the vehicle is functioning properly and that it needs to learn my driving habits. But the problem seems to be progressively getting worse and feels more and more unsafe everyday. This has been a ongoing issue and complaint since the vehicle was purchased in July of 2016. With numerous complaints and visits to the local dealership. The most recent being in may of 2017
