As a result, the wheels struck the bumps violently. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the shocks and struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure occurred multiple times. Chrysler of culpeper (11030 james monroe hwy, culpeper, va 22701, (540) 547-3900) and the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle.

Car started making an awful clanking noise when turning. Had three (3) different places look at it and they all said it was the transmission. Took it to spitzer Chrysler in brook park, oh who said it was everything but the transmission. They wanted to charge me more than the car is worth. Had it towed to a different Chrysler dealer as it's undrivable and leaked all it's transmission fluid out.

This vehicle has a shudder and a jerking motion at approximately the 28 to 35 mph range. Also switching the gears from neutral to drive or reverse will freeze. Have to shut the vehicle off and try again. As far as the suspension, the left rear has made a sound almost from the beginning when vehicle was purchased. It makes a clunking sound if going over a bump, or hit a deviation in the road. Was told for the longest time couldn't find anything. Now all of a sudden 1 shock is bad.

Air bag sensor, cooling thermostat and hosing. Shocks headlight issues electrical. I have put two thermostat and changed hosing twice. There are sever recalls listed on the same make year and model and under my VIN there's no recalls yet I'm experiencing the same issues that were recalled on the same year make and model. This does not make since why isn't my car covered for the recalls. I took my car to Chrysler dealer and called cooperate and they said my car isn't covered but there's recalls with the same issues for the same year make and model.

The car has a several second hesitation when placing your foot on the gas when starting from either a stopped position or a slowed position. The car has stalled on several occasions when going from reverse to drive, when slowly backing up it looses power and stalls as I put my foot on the brake to change from reverse to drive. The emergency brake has come on while slowing down coming down an incline causing a car behind me to have to swerve from hitting me my vehicle was going approximately 25 miles an hour at the time. All of these have been reported to Chrysler and motorworld where I have been told there is nothing that can be done.

My breaking is in effective. The ride of the car is not smooth. When taking it to get it serviced they told me my make and model is on recall for this exact problem I am having but my VIN number did not show up. I have not gotten it repaired as it is expensive and Chrysler should honor this problem. I believe my VIN number should fall in the recall guidelines.

I am experiencing rattling from my rear driver's side wheel that only occurs when there are bumps in the road. The brakes have been checked and there are no issues with the tires. However, I can feel every bump that I go over but only on the side where the back tire is on the driver's side.

The car shut completely off while in an intersection while attempting to make a right turn. The car shut off during a right turn. The car shut off while backing out of my garage. The car jerks as if a ghost is hitting it from behind in the middle of take off from a complete stop at a light or stop sign. It shakes everyone up in front and back seats and it happens randomly and spontaneously. This behavior has been happening for two years now and it wasn't not provoked by an accident. Thank you.

While making a left turn at 5-10 mph, the lower control arm suspension broke folding sideways and causing the car to be puller left into a parked car waiting to make a turn. Fortunately it broke at a very low rate of speed. The car had just exited a 60 mph highway. The body shop stated that Chrysler must have known about the weakness since the replacement part it significantly heavier built (see photo).

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......

Took car for routine tire rotation, 44,000 miles on car. Told could not rotate due to rear passenger tire "cupping". did research, was a recall for 2015 Chrysler for faulty shocks in rear of car. I called Chrysler, told me my VIN was not included. Very dangerous, shock could break, tire could blow out. I will have to pay for the new faulty shocks myself and 2 new rear tires.

(1) I purchased my car in October 2016. My car cut off in the middle of a very busy city street intersection. I had to keep blowing my horn and keep hazard lights on. My two children were in the car with me! it has cut off a total of 3 times since I purchased it, less than 2 years ago. I took more than 3 minutes to start up again.(2)the car also jolts, while driving, a lot causing everyone in the car to push forward off of the seats.

Takata recall I'm having a problem with my 2015 Chrysler 200 I'm hearing a rattling noise whenever I go over any type of bumps big or small. It's the struts & strut mounts they are bad, the sway bar links are pretty bad too and I wanted to get them replaced. But the problem is I can't. I took my car to a repair shop and I also called some places they all said there's no struts for this car on the market. So I can't get this problem fix, I need help this is a safety issue!

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving 15 mph, a noise emerged from the rear tires that grew louder. The contact drove the vehicle to an unknown tire shop and had the rear tires replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle had been experiencing the noise ever since November of 2017. The vehicle was taken to hollywood Chrysler/Jeep in hollywood, Florida on December 16, 2017. The dealer did not find any failures with the vehicle. The independent tire mechanic suggested that that the noise may be related to the suspension. The contact researched online and found a recall issued by the manufacturer for the suspension, which caused the tires to wear out unevenly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
