general problems of the 2015 Chrysler 200 - part 2

Car stalls when starting from a stop. If the outside air temperature is below 50 degrees f, it seems worse. There are no warning lights, no codes. . . It just stalls out. It will usually start after trying once (it takes at least 20-30 seconds of trying to start before it does). I was pulling from a redlight to a 4 lane road when it stalled. I had no where to go. When I first purchased the car, I took it to the dealership 3 times, they said it was a transmission problem at first, then spark plugs, and the third time they couldn't find anything. September 30th was the last time this has happened, but not the first. If I start the car 15 minutes before driving, it doesn't seem as bad.

The car would shut off while driving I was on the interstate the first 2 time when it happened no warning would just shut down then battery light would flash when I would try to start it occurred multiple time starting 7. 26. 22 last time was 8. 19. 22 took to dealer after the first 3 times (one occurred on a 2 lane highway) they couldn't find what was wrong had it for 3 weeks, took it to mom and pop shop he found problem and had to replace recalled pcm the recall was done in 2016 but the part failed again.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph, the instrument panel lights started blinking. The contact merged to the right lane and the vehicle stalled and lost electrical power. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact was able to restart the vehicle by jumpstarting it. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the engine oil was replaced. However, the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact stated that she was able to restart the vehicle five minutes later by pressing the start button. The contact then drove the vehicle to her residence. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Lights keep popping up on the dash but disappear. No one can figure out why the car pretty much shuts down when you take go to accelerate it shudders extremely hard and doesn’t go.

While vehicle is in driving mode it shuts off. I complained to east hester Chrysler 3 months ago and they were unable to diagnose the issue. It was doing it at least 3x a week, now it's happening daily and it has happen on the highway 2x which was a scary moment. I need some assistance, I notified Chrysler corporation and they reported the situation and refer me to a Chrysler service center. I read that there has been a recall on my vehicle for the same situation (stalling while driving) I am having my vehiclencheck now at central Ave Chrysler to see what they find. I hope the issue can be fixed and corrected and if there is a recall for this issue please help me. Thank you.

It’s starting up but won’t drive and light smoke come from the car overheating a lot it’s just a big mess not holding any fluids waste money trying to keep it with fluids.

Car frequently stalls and shuts off while driving. Only has 80k miles. Almost had an accident today.

Let me start by saying I was in love with my 200s but lately she been acting up. 1) I was driving on multiple occasions now when I’ll hear a chim sound(warning light with nothing laminated on the dashboard) car loses all power and shuts off completely no matter where on the freeway and surface streets 2mins later car starts up. The latest incident came a week ago when I was pulling in a drive way car shut off completely while traffic was coming almost causing a major crash (thank god nobody didn’t get hurt) other motorists got out to help push it to safety. There’s been multiple occasions while driving the car starts shaking bad as if it’s going to stall check engine light comes on. . I pull over scan for codes nothing pops up ,I then check connectors and fluids etc unscrewed the gas cap redo it ,car starts up I drive home safely (no more stalling feeling or bad shaking) mechanic run diagnostics no error codes appear . 2) airbags senor come on and off for no reason which scares the heck out of me to drive it not knowing if they’ll actually protect me or not if I need it too. It’s been almost 2 car payments since I drove it. Due to safety fears because I travel with kids 3) it’s hard to pick up speed when trying to accelerate my car is now at 99k miles and I have been going through these issues probably since 73k miles.

Thermometer malfunction when coolant temp reaches 174 degrees, thermometer bottoms out. Electric throttle light comes on and l=lights saying engine hot appear. Turn car off , wait 60 seconds turn car on and the car is fine.

The car just dangerously shuts off without warning while driving in traffic. The battery is new, and all fluids are full. This is the second time, in less than a month, that this dangerous shutdown has happened. Both times being while the car is in motion. The first time this dangerous incident occurred, the car started back up. The airflow sensor, all sparks plugs & coil packs were changed & throttle body cleaned. This time, the car will not crank back up.

My vehicle has been recalled but I’m noticing problems with my transmission when in switching gears. Sometimes it shifts into neutral, my radio shuts off periodically and my seat fills a lot thinner then the passenger seat. My air bag sensors pops on as well as the gas cap sensor and I just replaced the gas cap 2 months ago.

Car randomly stall and shuts downs when driving. Sometimes it will turn back on right away, sometimes it completely dies in the road and it has to be towed since everything shuts down. Unable to put it in neutral and push it, or roll up any windows. Before it happens traction control will flash very quickly, other times when it has completely died the power steering warning comes up quickly. I have taken it to the dealership but it doesn't throw a code so they keep telling me they can't do anything about it. There are many articles online about it, but nothing is being done as far as recalls.

Car automatically shuts off from sharp turn or hard stop.

I am receiving a sign stating “warming engine wait to start” the car does not start. When I apply gasoline it stalls to start. While driving the car shuts off in traffic. I’ve been to car shops who refer me to go to Chrysler because they can’t fix the problem stating “it is an electrical problem”. I’ve taken the car to Chrysler dealerships they continuously tell me otherwise. They’ve cleared codes and fix the last recall issue after this the car was okay for a few months now it continues to do the same thing. I’m am afraid that this could harm my passengers and I especially my child. I’ve literally turned while traffic was clear and safe to turn onto a main ride and my car shut off mid turn as traffic caught up. This has happened after fueling my vehicle. The only light that continues to appear is the battery light which I’ve had checked by many mechanics and technicians as well as the starter and alternator.

Upon taking my Chrysler 2015 200 limited 2. 4l in-line into bay area Chrysler dealership to figure out why my car wasnt running correctly they it on their diagnostic they said it needed a body control module which the dealership put a new one charged me 199. 20 to put it in plus the $376. 35 for the module that was ordered which I paid . When I picked up my car it was parked with the ignition on and walked off with the key fob. After paying for another 200 $ for a new key fob I was told the new part didnt work. So now the center stack which controls the radio the heater /air conditioner controls screen off on selecter knob and parking brake do not work so im wondering if the electrical recall or failure of the dealership to do their job.

I was driving down the road and the car lost all power, I couldn't even turn on my hazard lights, wasn't sure of car was going to roll backwards if I got out, lucky no one hit me.

Pcm failed and my car went into limp mode all of a sudden while going down a very busy and fast paced road with limited visibility. This entire car should be recalled after all the serious safety issues I've seen from it.

I tried talking to Chrysler but they were no help. They have had a power failure recall but I was told that based on my VIN number, didnt affect my vehicle. Intermittent power steering failure. I replaced the battery, I replace the rack and pinion and it’s still doing the same thing. $2300 down the drain. You can be driving and loose the ability to steer the vehicle. There are tons of complaints about this and they all say the same. They have replaced major parts and the issue persist. When speaking to crysler over the phone, they said that the replacement of the rack and pinion would fix the issue. Thats not true. . Read more...

Electric dial transmission selector wont go into park. The recall was for the six cylinder but this is a four cylinder with the same problem.

My car is not shifting correctly after the recent recall for a software update. My engine light came on the very next day. The problem happens mostly on the highway as I try to accelerate. My car runs between 3500-4500 rpms on the highway unless I am going downhill. I have to keep letting off the gas in order for the car to shift. I am not entering the highway at a safe speed because my car will not go. I am afraid this is going to cause a wreck. I am not sure if this is along the same problem, but my remote start stopped working correctly at the same time. I can start it with the remote, but it will only stay on for about 10 seconds, this is also not due to being low on gas. I called the dealer about this issue but they want to charge $150 to even look at the car.

Issue #1) 2015 Chrysler 200 looses power and goes dead in the middle of the road. Shift gear to park light comes on as it goes dead. Vehicle has done this repeatedly. I've replaced battery, the keyfob battery, and had the oil changed. Issue#2) the passenger airbag alarm is indicating problems with the airbag. Issue #3) vehicle is an automatic, but exhibits stalling when shifting at sporadic and intermittent times since purchase date. #summary - it is highly likely the repairs from the Chrysler 200 recalls were either never performed or the VIN to the Chrysler 200 I drive was not included in the recalls. Please help resolve this as soon as possible.

Car will cut off while driving after sharp turns. Lights on dashboard will start to flash and then “shift vehicle to park” message will appear. No service light appears when car is started.

Body control module wasnt working took it to the dealership did a diagnostic and it said body control module needed replaced we paid to buy this part and to have it put in and it still didnt work I have the receipts for this the dealership then wanted us to pay for more dignostics and parts and still isnt working there is a recall on this just want my car to be fixed and running properly and be safe on the road. Still a problem with the vehicles high communication which tells me if its not communicateing the part to the vehicle theres a problem in the electrical . There should be nothing going wrong the car is only 7 years old . I have been trying to get to the bottom of this the dealership grand bay area Jeep Chrysler has been of no help what so ever . 2 recalls already campain #15v470000 recall #r24 and campaign #14 v480000 recall#p43. And on7/23 for an exploytation of the software and the antilocking brake system is not working properly. This whole situation is not good I desperatly need help all of these problems are safety issues.

My car completely cut off while I was driving. I have no check lights on. New battery was put in last year.

When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on-ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously, this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue.

My car went into neutral by itself. Won’t shift into drive the car isn’t on the recall list by VIN but it is having issues that are listed in the recalls. The airbag light is on as well. I’ve never gotten into an accident since I’ve had the vehicle.

The uconnect/radio is off and it is available for inspection. In some extreme cases, a malfunctioning radio could potentially interfere with other critical vehicle functions, creating a safety hazard. Also it interferes with my a/c & only blows hot air when it chooses to work. It hasn’t been expected by the manufacturer, it’s only been expected audio tech & mechanics & stated they can’t detect the problem. There was no warning signs just a complete shut off & never turned on again.

I just purchased vehicle on 6/4/21 for my daughter. I gave her the car yesterday 6/10/21 today is 6/11/21 she was driving vehicle pulling out onto busy road and entire vehicle shut off would not start 30 min of sitting waiting for aaa which costs money to send them and car starts up what the heck death trap.

Chrysler 200 (2015) engine shuts down with no notice. I have to literally stop, put the car in park and restart the ignition in the middle of the road to get the car moving again. Mostly when deacceleration (turning a corner/slowing down for a traffic stop, going over a bump, etc. ). The electrical system just shuts off. Notice that the temperature outside is usually warm. Seems to do better in cooler weather. The car does not get hot (temperature gauge has been tested). Oil is full and gets regular changes. It is extremely dangerous. Many times throughout this month I have almost been hit. Angry people cuss you out for stopping in the middle of traffic. Not only does it cause me high anxiety but the safety of myself and my grandchild is at risk. I am afraid to drive it but have no other means of transportation. Message displays: put gear in park, restart engine. No engine light comes on so the mechanics are unable to diagnosis issue. It has been put on the code reader but not codes appear. Midas said it was the power distribution center electrical connector (r24) . That they couldn't fix it but that it should be under warranty but it wasn't for my VIN # . Prior ( a week or so before) the airbag alert illuminated on the dash (2 different times) but went off after I adjusted my seat. At one time after I started having problems my low light beam indicator said my bulb was out but then went off and my low light still worked (not burnt out). Now my control in the middle of my dash work.

I purchased my 2015 Chrysler c in 2017. I started having issues with the transmission jumping every now and then. My car is at 60k miles now and I have a sensor light on telling me service awd. I took it to have it decided and the reading I got back was p1634 and p1634 00. The power train issue has been fixed before I owned it and now from the sounds of it, may be going bad again. I smell a burning smell from time to time when driving on the highway. I'm trying to take my car in to get serviced but everyone's telling me no open recall. However I keep reading about recalls on Chrysler 200 power tranny. I have lost so much money on this car it's ridiculous! my daughter is a new d.

Speed settings will accelerate and loose power without manually adjusting. Electrical will cut in and out. Breaks system will kick in randomly.

While driving into my parking spot suddenly abs, awb unavailable, performance shifting unavailable, service airbag, cruise control unavailable, front park sense unavailable, lane sense unavailable, dash lights appeared as my car lost any availability to shift gears, accelerate or decelerate.

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200. After the car sits for a few hours an engine has time to cool completely down it shuts off on its own after restart and acceleration. If I start to slow down it will shut completely off and tell me to put into park. It has done it countless times on busy roadways, when I?m coming to a stop at stop signs or traffic lights. It is starting to also shut off as I am turning. Not only is it extremely dangerous and completely unsafe but it?s extremely annoying. It seems to do it more if the engine hasn?t completely ?warmed up? before I drive it. They have recalls for this exact problem on certain Chrysler 200s but apparently mine doesn?t fall under that recall and seems ridiculous that it doesn?t. Seems as though tens of thousands of the 200s are having this same issue but they pick and choose what ones are fixed. Is Chrysler waiting for families to die in car accidents before they finally fix the problem!?.

Cruise control will randomly accelerate or decrease speed. Transmission won’t shift properly run high rpms then jump and eventually shift. Air bag constantly is pulling messages. Electrical and engine stalls.

Says to shift into park and restart the car. Takes a few tries to turn on. Check engine light came on and performance shifting unavaliable notice showed up. Now it there is a herking motion everytime the gas is touched.
