Vehicle has a hard time changing gears. When speeding up vehicle jerks hard and makes loud noice in tranmission area. Passengers have noticed how it struggles to change gears. Have taken into to dealer but they say they can not replicate problem. It also seems to surge randomly when coming to a stop. Afraid I'll hit car in front of me. Also dealer not able to repair.
Bought new still under bumper to bumper warranty at about 24000 miles while driving the car entering the highway from the access road at approximately 37mph my vehicle just shut off almost as if had rebooted like a computer the wheel did not lock up first warning light read "airbag failure" then right after my parking/emergency brake light came on then tire pressure all while my shift knob flashed "p" if it wasn't a backup on the highway I would have been hit and caused a major pile up luckily I was able to engage the hazards and drift one lane over to the break down lane with no power to the brakes I had to press harder as I made it over to the side all of those lights went off, I was able to restart the car and then the engine light came on before I made it to my appointment at the dealer the engine light had gone off too. They could not recreate nor can tell me for sure what caused the failure.
The transmission is switching gears hard like it is skipping a gear. Seems like it is doing it between 1 & 3 or decelerating 3 to 1. It is worse during winter months. The jerk can be so hard sometimes.
Vehicle lost power while pulling into traffic. 2016 Chrysler 200 s with 2614 miles. . . Engine was warm. I stepped on the gas and lost all power (electrical), followed by engine stall behavior, power loss, stall behavior, then transmission knob light flashes "d" and instrument cluster says to select gear again. Was nearly rear ended and/or t-boned by oncoming traffic. Dealer performed 4 flash updates today.
I was stopped at a red light, when the light turned green I stepped on the accelerator to go and could not move!! the car refused to shift! I looked down to check and make sure it was in drive and it was! I was nearly rear ended, people had to drive around me. It took around 20 to 30 seconds for my vehicle to shift into gear and move forward. While trying to move forward it revved to around 5,000 rpm. I have a child with me. What would happen if someone rear ended us? I know Chrysler has numerous issues with the transmissions to these vehicles and I am sorry but they should not be allowed on the road with problems like this!!.
The gear shift can be easily and accidentally knocked into reverse park or neutral while driving and wjrhout needing to apply brake. I was driving and my cellphone slid out of the cellphone mount and hit the knob and threw my into park while driving on the freeway at high 60 mph I was fast enough to move it back over to drive but it could have caused an accident or damage to the vehicle. This type of thing has happened on more than one occasion I accidentally put it in reverse while driving thinking I was moving the fan knob down at night while driving. Also my friends son put my car into park while adjusting the temperature as well. You should never be able to move the gears so easily or in reverse or park without brake or pushing the knob down or something terribly unsafe!! all of the times this has occurred I was driving also there gave been times I thought my car was in park but was not was actually in reverse very dangerous.
I just bought this car in March of 2016 and has been in dealership over 9 times already for the alignment, tires already going bald and the transmission. I was driving one day down a street that has a 55mph speed limit and the car just died and lost all power it wouldnt go at all so I had to pull over and restart the vehicle finally it went then ever since then the car shifts very rough and jerks you and the dealerships keep telling me that its the way the car is supposed to drive but I know its not also the service transmission light came but the dealer says that codes were there to show which was odd to me also another issue with this car is sometimes when I put it in drive,reverse etc the electronic ebrake just comes which almost had me hit a few times now I have had this car 3 months now and its in the shop more than I can drive. I would say this car is unsafe and highly advise not to buy.
A few times pulling out into the traffic the car would fail to accelerate properly almost causing an accident. Also, some times while driving the car seems as if its dying or loosing power. It is also rattling when I crank it up. The other thing is that the transmission while accelerating seems to take a while to switch gears and then the car jerks really hard when it finally shift gears. I've taken it in to the dealership and they just said that they checked it and cant find anything wrong but that they have had similar complaints but that "its just the fact that the car is a 4 cylinder. " it's very scary pulling out into traffic.
Thereally is a problem with the transmission and electrical system with this car. My car jerks everyday when shifting from park to drive and it hesitates. I took to the dealership for service and was told it is supposed to drive like that until the car is adjusted to my driving style. Also, onew day I was driving and out of nowhere in lose total power in the car. Took it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. I have a 7 year old who rides with me everyday. This car is not safe.
As I travel down the highway going about 50 to 60 mile an hour sometime the car jake's real hard into gear and also when I come to a complete stop and take off again going about 5 to 10 mph it shifts hard again.
