You have a recall for chryslr 200 2015 for intermittent starting and stalling caused by faulty pdc connector. Nhtsa. My car is doing exactly that but its not under the recall why not? it had done this gor the last 4 months.

I put the car in park, once I released the brake the car started jerking forward. While this was going on, the dash displayed powertrain failure. I was only able to get it to stop by turning off the car. When I turned the car on following the event, I had a check engine code: p1b13-00 "park-by-wire-unintended out of park position". Since that incident, the car has excessive forward roll when putting the car in park. The shifting has become unpredictable and rough, it also gets stuck in 4th gear often. I took my car to a Chrysler dealership to see if it was in recall r08 / NHTSA 15v-090, I was told it was not and that I would have to pay for them to inspect it. My car was manufactured just before the recall window.

The 2 recalls r-24 and r-55 were both supposedly fixed at the hunt Chrysler in franklin ky but my vehicle is still shifting up into neutral randomly I almost got hit because I was pulling out of a stop sign and the car stalled and went into neutral and I was stuck in the middle of the road and luckily nobody was coming so I had time to restart the car and get out of the way but the recall work they did was not done correctly otherwise they would have not called and said my car was ready to be picked up. Then they hung up on me when I called to see what I needed to do about getting my car back in to be fixed correctly and they literally hung up and refused to do their job and ensure that my vehicle is safe by correctly performing the recall work that Chrysler sent them to do. I looked it up and the step by step guide is online and they did not follow Chryslers guidelines or standards and I want answers please.

When not coming to a complete stop for at least 5 seconds and trying to get going again the car bogs down / hesitates almost feels like it has stalled for around 3 to 5 seconds then lurches forward and engine continues to rev even after accelerator has been released. For example coming up to a red light that turns green before you finish stopping, yield signs or slowing into a turn lane and trying to get across on-coming traffic. It is extremely dangerous and seriously needs to be looked into. I have seen several complaints about this. This is very common and needs to be fixed. This is also reoccurring problem that happens in these situations every time.

When going a certain speed car will jerk and shift roughly into next gear, faulty air bag system shown on dashboard. Car had been struggling to start lately went to autozone with the check engine light now showing. Diagnostic machine advised power train system issues / antilock brake system issues. Codes: p1634, u0420-00, c2101-17, & c1246-1c mileage: 111250 upon doing my research these are common issues with this vehicle but yet no recall could be found for my specific vehicles using VIN #.

Available upon request. Switching gears could be a hazard. Mechanic said a previous recall for issue was fixed. It has been sitting at the mechanics for 4 months. Vehicle ran fine in the morning. Went to drive and vehicle switched from park to neutral and break system lights came on. I went to try a few hours later and the car was dead and would not start. We tried to jump the car and it would not work.

1) I believe there is a problem with my transmission shifting gears. I am willing to have it inspected. 2) there is a sudden and violent shift that happens when shifting between 3rd - 5th gear I believe but it's random, only a couple of times a month. I have had people with me and they thought I hit a deep pothole or hit something with my car like a small animal. 3)the issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealership. 4) my car has not been inspected by any of the above except a dealership years ago when I mentioned it but nothing was found. My car model and year have a few recalls and transmission is one but no recalls have been issued for my specific car yet. I check yearly. 5) I do not get any warning lights, messages, or symptoms, my car just violently shifts from time to time when shifting into 3rd - 5th gear. My car does sometimes get an awd service light that comes and goes and never lasts more than a couple of days. The research I did online said that's normal for the 200 and not to worry if it doesn't stay lit. I am not sure if this is a related issue, another issue, or just a thing the 200 does as mentioned online. The car had this problem since I purchased it in 2017 but the dealership I purchased it from was in a different state so taking it back wasn't an option. I had mentioned the issue to a Chrysler dealership years ago while getting an oil change but no issue was found. 6) how fast were you going? I think it's between 3rd and 5th gear so like 25-45 mph I think. 7) about how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident? my 200c has had this consistently since I got the car with around 10,000 miles and my car now has about 82,000 miles on it and just did the violent shift recently. There is no warning or pattern as to when it will happen except that it happens between 3rd-5th gear and it doesn't matter the time of the year or the weather.

My vehicle has 3 recalls on it that are essential to the safety of the driver and those in the vehicle with the driver and they are refusing to cover this because I am not the original owner. I feel like this is not right considering that this is a Chrysler issue and they should be responsible for it. The car cuts off without warning due to the recall issue I could be on the highway, in a parking lot or just cruising in my neighborhood and it cuts off,.

Any time I am coming to a stop from 40/45 mph the car would accelerate although I am breaking! this is not safe. It happens randomly while driving I could be in traffic and it will accelerate soon as I put my foot on the break.
