A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait to repair because I thought the vehicle needed freon. After taking the vehicle to the dealership the compressor needs to be replaced. The extended warranty expired. Since the car is computerized I have to pay for updates and electrical issues. Now the seat belt light is on due to two bad harness under the seat. An update was allegedly repaired of the car jumping, the car stills jumps. The vehicle is slowly deteriorating at my expense. Chrysler has stated they will not help me. This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately.

The air compressor and seat belt harness has gone bad and the vehicle is less than 5 years old. The A/C died in 2018; I decided to wait until 2019 to replace what I thought was the freon.

My car has always acted like it wants to quit when coming to a stop or taking off. I'm on my third battery since purchase. The last battery was replaced one month ago. Now last week a car cut me off at a light. When I slammed on my brakes my car quit making me miss the light! when trying to restart it really doesn't make any sounds and then it just starts! then again yesterday I was coming to a red light I was almost completely stopped when the light turned green I went to go but my car quit again at a green light ! I could've been rear ended! again I put it in park to restart and it doesn't make any starting noises but eventually starts! when driving it's fine but when stopping and taking off it acts like it wants to quit and now it's quit on me twice in one week!

"takata recall". my airbag light sensor on the dash of my vehicle lit up along with the seatbelt light while I was driving by myself with the seatbelt on correctly and nothing sitting in any of the passenger seats. The dash displays a message of "service airbag system". when coming to a stop, the dash displays"driver seatbelt unbuckled" while my seatbelt is buckled. I have checked the vehicle for recalls and none are currently listed with the NHTSA or the dealership under my particular VIN. I have had the vehicle diagnosed at a Chrysler dealership/service center and was notified that the orc ("occupant restraint controller") was non responsive. They (Chrysler service center employee) informed me that I was responsible for the care and maintenance of the safety device that is defective in my vehicle. While sitting in park with the vehicle motor running in a parking lot there were three loud pops in my vehicle and a smelly smoky substance throughout the vehicle. I did not see any air bags visibly deploy.

We were driving down the road and there were no cars or anything around to cause what happened. We heard a loud bang or explosion like a gun going off and it hurt my ears and made them ring. It like stunned us almost like when you wreck a car feeling. I checked myself for blood and asked the others in my car were they ok.we pulled over to check and my sunroof had exploded. What's left up there was push outward like the car had pressure in it and that's how it released it. I need the company to fix it but they won't.we called the headquarters as soon as we got to the house and took the car to the dealer as the requested the very next day and they will not fix it and its their fault for using whatever glass they used or maybe the body of the car twist to much. Its their build and O their fault. I didn't make this car or do anything to it.

I notified the Dodge recall center a month ago about an issue with electrical problems and engine stalls as well as problem codes. This affected driving and prevented registration per smog check. I was making a alright turn on el dorado and cleveland street last Thursday, 3/21/2019 and the car locked up or cut off and slid into a guard rail and curb damaging the driver side of the body and was unforgivable. It is being investigated now but the fca investigator informed me that he would not be able to inspect the vehicle until I signed and returned the attached document. Upon calling a month ago I performed a VIN search and realized that there were a few electrical recall incidents performed on my vehicle previously which were never disclosed with me. As a matter of fact the dealer edited the documents to show a clean history when printing my paperwork when I purchased the vehicle. I am totally confused as to what my rights are and how do I go about getting my vehicle repaired or compensated. Please let me know if you need any further documentation.

When I first pull out the car doesn't change gears it acts like it isn't getting fuel or something then it changes gears but so hard it kind of jerks the car. After it pucks up speed there is no problem just when you first pull out.

Vehcile has several error lights that come and go. I cannot get Chrysler dealers in brevard, Florida to do warranty work. Everyone is in danger as the car is no longer safe. I have begged for tow ins, rentals and warranty diagnoses. I have begged for Chrysler to send a trained rep from out of town to investigate. This has gone on for years, now the below dealerships owns both the dealers in my region and refuse to do work to diagnoe per warranty at either. I had a free oil change package from Chrysler from a previous service related complaint. The dealer scheduled an appointment, I gave them all my info. I also ordered an expensive part to have installed, which is nonreturnable. I paid for and picked up part. Checked my car in. Then ross and craig, also ed O'donnell I was told were all texted by ross and upon checking in vehicle was told "sorry we will not service your vehicle or install your part. This has been an ongoing issue and I was also told by ed O'donnell on a previous complaint that I was welcomed to return. Did I mention the package expired shortly there after. Also shortly there after leaving the work they did previously, the symptoms now re present themselves. Ironically. Also, it was admitted by phone that they had backmoffice discussions with another dealer in the area gator Chrysler. I am now stuck with a part they will not install or refund. They will not change my oil or rotate tires. They will not fessmup to the vandalism of my vehicle that occurred on their lot in 2018. They have destroyed my car and now all kinds of engine lights come on to discredit me.

While excellerating the car will hesitate. Sometimes this causes the car to jerk very hard, other times the car acts like its stuck in between gears I have almost been hit a few times because of this. When I am stopped and go to take off it will almost stop and them jump forward real fast. Other times it just jerks a few times and takes off. When I first bought my car it shifted into neutral on it's own a few times. This stopped once an update was done. My check engine light used to come on and go off. Now it stays on. We have taken it to advance auto and the scan tool will not read any codes. The radio, touch screen and steering wheel controls will randomly stop working. I had an alert pop up saying the engine temp hot and service electronic throttle control. The car has been nothing but a headache. My basic warranty has expired. I don't know what to do.

On Saturday 29/9/2019 I was getting ready to go to work from fremont, ca to san jose, ca and my car wouldn't start. I had to press the push start several times to get it to start, . once it did start when I turned on the defroster it started shaking and turned off. I had to let it idle more than 15 minutes before it warmed up. I made it around the block about a quarter mile before I came to a stop sign and the car shut off. I managed to turn it back on and pull over. It continued to stall until I got back home. Since then it's been shaking when on idle and it jerks between gears. While on the 880 freeway the car will decelerate during peak traffic hours causing me to have to pull over to the slow lanes to avoid getting rear ended. I'm taking to the dealership for diagnostics.

Went to start the vehicle and it acted like it didn't want to start but did. There were multiple warnings that popped up on the dash and in the messages. The car had a loss of power and wouldn't go into any gear. After letting it idle for 15 minutes it did finally go into gear.

The car stalls on my wife every day. She sitting at light or sitting in traffic. You can be driving on the freeway and without warning it cuts off. I am now the only Chrysler owner that is having this issue. This is going to cause a really bad accident, or maybe someone dieing dealing with this issue. I have been calling so see if there is a recall. I saw something on google and said there is a recall but when I call the dealer ship they say there is no recall. What is it going to take for us to get a recall on the 2015 Chrysler 200's engine stalling problem. This started happen back in October 2016.
