On 9/16/18, vehicle died and would not start. After several attempts, it started, then while driving down the road, vehicle lost all electrical power and came to a stop in the middle of traffic. Car was towed to dealer where they trouble shooted for several days trying to reproduce the electrical power failure. They found a services bulletin about electrical connection and replaced wiring harness. Over the next several months I noticed my vehicle felt like the transmission was slipping. As time went on, I realized it wasn't a slipping, but a hard shift. The vehicle would also loose power upon acceleration to merge into traffic or changing lanes. This was very scary, but at times it seemed as if the vehicle might lose complete power and die while in heavy highway speed traffic. On 10/11/2018 while having my vehicle oil changed, I asked the technician to drive the vehicle to confirm what I was feeling with the transmission. The technician agreed that the transmission was in fact not shifting or functioning properly. I obtained a quote to have the transmission serviced. The technician advised have the transmission flushed/serviced might help, but often times flushing can cause symptoms to worsen. I opted to not have the transmission flushed/serviced at that time and planned to take my vehicle into the dealer after the holidays. It is now the the 3rd week in December and just this week the hard shifting and loss of power when the vehicle downshifts to merge into highway speed traffic has worsened significantly. I phoned the Chrysler dealer today and spoke with my service advisor to schedule an appt. I am to call back on Wednesday 12/26 to reserve a courtesy vehicle and schedule appt. To drop my vehicle off on 12/27/2018

I can be driving it down the road it will shut it’'s self off. Will not start for about 15 to 20 minutes. This happend last night and when it did I was rear ended. When it does this the breaks lock up no matter how hard U push on them they won’T budge. Also it will try to start but the engine cranks at a really low speed but after awhile takes off. Also if you let it warm up it runs jus fine sometimes. Had it put on machine was told it was a map sensor replaced it and still got the same problem. Changed battery in key fob and car battery and still doing the same thing. Seen numerous people on here having the same issue. After replacing all that took to put back on a machine and was told I can’T help you cause it’'s not throwing any codes what do I do I got a car that I still owe almost 14,000 dollars on that is unsafe to be driving. The car does this when it’'s being driven can let set for hours and stays running but I can’T even make it 3 blocks without it dying and not starting back up for awhile. It’'s pathetic as for the date at the bottom that says when did this happen I’ll put it like this it happens every time I try to go anywhere it should be recalled and properly fixed.

Car would not start smelled like it has a electrical short. I went into the store to pick up so item when I can back I pressed the start engine button but the car would not start. Someone came and gave me jumpstart but there was not a problem with the battery then someone came to tow but was not able to because they couldn't get the car to go into neutral. Tow truck driver said that the rain may have cause an electrical short.

Driving my 2015 Chrysler 200S and I'm hearing squeaky noise whenever I go over a bump in the road. Took my car to the shop and was told that I need a lot of front end work done, and that my lower control arms were bad as well as my struts. To add more insult there are no struts on the market for this car. This car is only 3 years old......

My car is doing a lot of weird stuff that I'm getting tired of. It's been giving me issues starting and reving when my foot is off of the gas. The cars engine lights keeps coming on and going off and traction control came on and went of. This car is giving me issues and I'm tired of this lemon. Regret so much buying this car and never will I ever again by another Chrysler.

Since 08/18/18, the vehicle stalls while in motion and becomes difficult to restart. This has become a daily occurrence and makes the vehicle unsafew to drive as it does stall with the vehicle in motion and occurs without any warning sign.

After turning my car on, I put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway, and after backing up and putting the car into drive, the car stalled. Another time, I came to a stop sign and while tryig to accellerate, the car stalled. It has stalled at stop lights, stop signs, and there have only been a battery light come on the dashboard after the car is stalled and in electrical mode. There is no warning or indication anything is wrong then the car will die and will be unable to restart for a few mimutes. I had the alternator and spark plugs replaced yesterday, and I got about 100 feet from my house and stalled at a stop sign this morning. This primarily comes when I accellerate from a stop, or slow speed.

A transmission warning light, service electrical throttle, air bag warning lights came on my 2015 Chrysler 200 purchased from enterprise cat sales in may of 2016..the vehicle began hesitating while driving as if I was shifting in neutral.I took my car to three rivers chrylser dealer West Liberty avenue in pittsburgh in February of 2018. I also asked to have my brakes done.I was asked to purchase a new upgraded vehicle which I declined.I took my car back several times between three dealeaships between March and June because it was in worse condition than when I gave it to them.smoke coming out of the tail pipe, sounded like a mack truck, stalled, coolent leaking. I had it towed three times.they would not give me a loaner car and were not helpful in anyway. I returned it to another dealership this week now June. The electrical throttle light came on again, engine warning lights coming on and I was told the car was unsafe. I believe this car was recalled and the recall repairs were not done on this vehicle. I contacted the warranty company that had my extended warranty. My car was under warranty when I brought it in February. According to an email, the dealership submitted the services "supposedly" completed in February to them in March and April after the warranty had expired. I believe they purposely did not complete the work in February in order for my warranty to expire and I have to pay them out of pocket. Now I have a car payment and no vehicle. Jim shorkey North huntingdon Chrysler dealership is stating the car is unsafe. I have only been given the run around from Chrysler customer care and the dealership/

While driving the car, the car begins to make ding sound, then slows down and shuts off and says "shifts to park" causing the car to slow all the way down and cut off. When putting the car in park, and restarting the car, it begins to make the cughh cuggghhh sound and takes a aminute to two before it comes back on. This is not the first time as I have taken it to carmax for them to say its nothing wrong. This is the 3rd time this has happened and I just bought the car in deember 2017
