The car displays several symptoms of other recalls on the exact same model. It has high vibration when sitting idle and while driving, the car also has issues in shifting gears on it's own, either while trying to decrease speed, or increase speed. As if it is stuck in gear. The car is an automatic. On top of this, when taking off, the car jerks and stalls in power, instead of going forward as it should, making pulling out incredibly dangerous. Again, these are all symptoms of recalls that have been made on these exact models of cars. I tried contacting the dealership, but they said if my VIN doesn't have the recall listed there is nothing that can be done. I think this is insane. The vibration has been noted in recalls to wear away parts of the tire axel, which leads to breaking of important components that move the wheels and can be dangerous if they were to break while the car was moving.

The vehicle would cut off causing me to swerve to the side of the road to avoid an accident. It would stall while driving which also caused issues. Then it would just not start and once taken to the dealership on three separate occasions was told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Car stalled while I was driving once on the highway and I had to swerve on to the side of the ride almost crashing and causing a accident and then a couple of time on the main road which also result into me having to swerve out of traffic almost causing a accident. The car will tell me put it in park I did that and then sometimes it will start up sometime it won't.

Without any warning, vehicle will shut off making it hard to steer and brake. Vehicle will then take upwards of 15 minutes before it will restart. This has happened while in motion, and, while parked.

Vehicle randomly shuts off while vehicle is in motion when I decelerate. This typically happens when I'm going low speeds about 25-20mph. I've brought my vehicle in for servicing 2X for this same issue and it continues to happen

In the morning I was backing into a parking spot while slightly turning and the car started acting up and then died. Wouldn't start with start button. After placing the remote next to start button and waiting a bit I was able to start it up after a few tries. Finished parking. After work, I was driving home and was waiting to turn and do uturn and the car once more died. Not sure if I was completely stopped or inching forward while waiting for incoming traffic to clear. Tried starting it up again the same ways as in morning. The car wouldn't start. After standing 5 minutes in a turning lane, I got it to start. Finished the drive home worrying. Also while driving, time from time, all of the dashboard flicker and then go completely dark. After a few minutes, they come back on. That is speed, RPM, gas level, engine temperature, and all other dashboard lights. Causes distraction while driving and also results in me being unable to see speed the car is traveling at.

Car shuts off while braking, and turns everything off. It also 'locks' the brake, and takes minutes to release. When this happens all lights turn off, push to start won't work, and engine will not start. The car cuts off at the most inopportune times, and makes driving extremely dangerous. It's been shutting off more frequently, and for longer moments at a time. This usually occurs on street's but has occurred in two drive-thrus. On one occasion the car shut off mid-turn. Again this makes driving incredibly dangerous, and is frustrating and inconvenient. This is my only means of transportation so driving has become a risk.

For the past several months I have been having issues with my car starting. There are no indicators that theres any issue with the vehicle. It just takes about several seconds to get a crank in order for the car to come on. I have taken it to get it looked at to see what the cause of the problem was. No issues with the battery or starter. I had the spark plugs changed with an oil change and still the same issue. Since then for the past few days upon my initial start for the day my car has shut off on me while driving down the residential road less then a mile in it stops out of nowhere locks the car up so im unable to stir the car and tells me to part the car in park. After that im unable to get the car to start again after several attempts then it'll finally crank back up after putting the key flob next to the push start button. What is going on with my car. This is dangerous thank god I wasnt on the highway nor where cars behind me. I have checked for recalls on my car and its not indicating any for mine in particular but there are recalls on 2015 Chrysler 200 models. My car isnt under warranty and has over 100 thousand miles.

Radio freezes up for hours on end meaning you may have to touch your phone while driving instead of using hands free. Bluetooth stops working randomly and radio volume randomly gets super loud or practically silent. Makes a weird high pitched skipping sound. Has happened on multiple occasions. When parked and when driving on highway.

My air bag light always comes on. Saying it needs to be serviced every time the front passenger seat is moved. My radio used to shut off while I'm driving and reboot like if im starting the car.. now it doesn't turn on at all. It just glitches. Since I got the car when I go to switch gears the car will switch gears hard. Like if something is wrong with the transmission.

Car not wanting to turn over when trying to start without jumping. Had battery and alternator checked both are fine and starter was replaced no more than maybe a year ago. This is daily and if sits throughout day. Lights and everything interior turn on and it acts like it wants to turn over just not enough power. Also replaced battery in key fob. Started happening within last month.
