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.

At 130,000 miles a oil leak became very noticeable. The rear main oil seal was destroyed. Due to the oil leak the front belly pan(68102931ab) became a dangerous hazard. The front belly pan became completely soaked in oil and was dragging under the car. Once the car was taken apart by the tech it was discovered that the oil cooling house (68105583af) was cracked.

The car shuts off while driving. The screen says "shift to p to start". This happens randomly, without any warning, in traffic. It started a little over two weeks ago, and it is getting worse. It was happening every few days, but now it happens every day, multiple times a day.

My car stalls while driving go into limpo.

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

I was driving to take my vehicle to the car dealer that I bought it from and started having problems with the car. As I was driving the car started smoking really bad, and soon as I pulled into the the car dealer lot the bottom of my car was in flames. I had to hurry put the car in park jump out and grab my daughter out the car. Every since my daughter has been having really bad coughing issues. I took my car to have it looked at and checked and the dealer let me know that it was nothing they can do that they would not switch me to another car. I feel it’s unsafe and unfair for my children as well as my self to continue having to drive in and pay for a car that has caught on fire. Every since I have been having unstoppable problems with the car, from a starting issue, air bag issue, engine issue and so many more problem.

I have had my 2015 Chrysler 200 for about a year now and ever since I have had it. It has acted weird. Evetime I am driving down a hill at a slow pace, I loose power as if my car just switched to neutral. It also jerks a lot when I am stopped on a hill going up and I start to go, then it will jerk like its delayed in the gears. I am very concerned for my safety. I have seen other recalls similar to this and I am hoping we can get this one on a recall as well. I have not had my car inspected yet because I cant afford it.

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.

I purchased this car a yr ago and have complained about the transmission since the beginning along with oil issues and power issues. They refused to fix it. The car downshifts and throws itself forward and it's almost caused numerous accidents. There's times the car will not go forward and when you hit the gas a little it revs and shoots forward. It's very unsafe and I can't even drive it. I'm paying for a car that's very unsafe.

When oil is low the car stalls and shuts off while in operation without warning. There is no "oil low" light or indicator provided to give a heads up. Also, my car stalled 2 months after an oil change without me reaching the 3000 mile mark.

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.

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.

When the vehicle accelerates, the gear shift is harsh and very scary to the point it feels like the car is gonna fall apart. When decelerating, the same thing a occurs. At one point the whole car shifted to the side while attempting to accelerate or decelerate. When making a turn and mainly a u-turn, the steering feels like it's harsh and feels like it will break if it was turned too far or too hard accidentally. The gear shifting/transmission does not shift very smoothly at all times. Its scary when it switches gears. Both accelerating and decelerating in the middle of the highway whether going from 60mph to 70 mph feel or 60mph going down to 40mph. I'm sure it was steering and gear shifting issue because I felt it myself. It sure could be engine problem on the top of that as well. Thank you!.

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.

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.

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.
