I have owned this car for 3 years. A year after owning it I began having issues with the engine shutting down while driving. It is random and happens with no warning, no check engine light or any indication that it's going to happen. It has happened in traffic where I was almost rear ended by a semi because when the engine dies I lose power steering and can't get it off the road. Sometimes it will restart right away other times it takes an hour or more. This has happened while on the highway and city streets. Most commonly it happen when I have to take my foot off the accelerator and then reapply, like slowing down for a car turning in front of me, taking a turn and taking an exit ramp. This has happened many times over the last couple years. I have had it at a dealership and they can't diagnose a problem or recommend a fix. I have also been in contact with the manufacturer and they told me there was nothing they could do and I would just have to drive the car and take it back in if the problem worsens. That is not an option because it is either going to get me stranded on the side of the road or in an accident.

The vehicle would cut off after starting & driving a very short distance then the check engine/flashing lightning bolt would come on. Once the car was off and then restarted, the lights would go off and it might run fine as long as you didn't accelerate too quickly & drove a good distance without having to stop and start a lot. The issue would arise more when driving short distances with constant stops & tight turns or sometimes when having to DE-accelerate quickly. Once the car was off for a second then restarted, the only light that would sometimes stay on would be the check engine light. Therefore, I took the car to an o�reillys for a free test & the only codes that came back was p0302 - cylinder 2 misfire & p2172 - throttle actuator control system. The issue had gotten worse so I had a mechanic replace all 4 spark plugs with ngk iridium plugs and the 2nd cylinder ignition coil with a bosch ignition coil. The cylinder 2 misfire code went away when restarting the vehicle but the main issue persists, the car won't stay on & the p2172 tacs code is still present. The vehicle is unsafe & unable to drive. The date I'm using for the question of when the issue happened is when I had the spark plugs and ignition coil replaced. The original issue started around the 2nd week of December somewhere between December 10th-December 14th.
The vehicle check engine light permanently stays on and the vehicle will just die as you're driving it could be in the middle of an intersection it could be when you're reversing it doesn't matter I just wants to die and then not start up and it sounds like the gears are not automatically shifting. We have to have the computer reset often in order for our vehicle to drive. It's been happening for a couple years now.
Driving on the road in motion, the engine shut down with no warning. Had it towed to shop where it started upon arrival (approx. 1 hour). No check engine light came. Ran engine scan and no codes came up. Diagnostic provided no information. Condition could not be repeated. Nothing was resolved. Happened several more times while in motion over the next 2 months. Sometimes on the freeway, some on a road. Always starts again after 45 minutes. Has been to multiple shops where nothing is diagnosed. Problem persists to this day. We installed an engine scanner to detect any codes given when engine quite. Codes are as follows: anti lock brakes code u0401 - active/mil - implausible data received from ecm/pcm and powertrain control module code p061c etc level 2 rpm performance.

Shortly after driving the vehicle after start up, it stalls and begins to quickly slow down. No warning lights, or check engine light. Once you get it stopped and restart it, it does the same thing about 3-7 miles down the road. Then it won't do it at all for the rest of the day. This has caused dangerous situations. No codes to go on for a possible problem. This model has han many many complaints for this same problem, and I believe recalled before for it, but a check of recalls for this VIN shows no un-repaired recalls. I do not know what to do at this point. Vehicle has just under 60,000 miles and is in very good condition. Dealer has stated that without codes showing up, and or witnessing the problem they really can't do anything about it. This has happened during busy traffic and caused cars to almost hit me from behind when mine stalls and slows down from no power. Luckily I have been in areas that have a shoulder to move onto. I honestly do not think I am being told everything about this problem from the dealership, because from researching it on line, I have found thousands of complaints this very same problem, and nobody seams to have a clear answer for it that I can find. I really need help with this. Thank you.
While driving, the vehicle loses all power. Just shuts down. No warning. No warning lights. No code. No check engine light.
I have had this vehicle less than 6 months. . . . . It has now started to stall in the middle of traffic. . When coming to a stop and upon takeoff from signal lights. . The steering wheel locks up and the check engine light and battery light and at one occasion the steering light came on. . . You can restart it and it will run but for how long before it dies altogether? I am terrified to drive this vehicle. . . It has never been reported in a recall. . . . Not this VIN number, but I have done my research and mine is not the only complaint. . . And all the complaints are almost exactly the same. . . . My life and the lives of my family are at stake each time I get in this car. . . What recourse do we have before someone gets killed?.
Engine keeps shutting off in traffic, at stop sign. Check engine light keeps coming on and off. Car shut off on me in middle of traffic which put me at risk for being in a bad accident. This is my only means of transportation and I fear for my stay everytime I'm driving my vehicle.
Vehicles stalls while driving randomly, this could be 5 minutes or 2 hours after vehicle is driven, and after vehicle sits for a while, 1/2 hour to an hour, vehicle starts right up with no check engine light or any history/pending/current codes. . Dealership has already replaced the fuel pump but problems persists. Have seen many similar cases of this vehicle stalling and then it starts right up after sitting for some time.
As I am driving down the road the vehicle will completely stall out. The first time it just seemed to have had a dead battery. I got a jump it was fine. After that the transmission died so I had to stop the car turn it back on and my check engine light remained on but it drove fine. Three days later, it dies again while driving. Both times it had died while being driven electronically were on 55mph roads. The time my transmission died it was right down the road from my house so I wasn't going too fast.
The car stalls when it slows down or comes to a stop (for example at a red light). So far, it starts up with no problem. However, I believe this is potentially dangerous if it stalls in heavy traffic. There is no check engine light and despite attempting a variety of fixes, so far nothing has solved the problem.
I bought a 2015 Chrysler 200c about 2years ago. A few days ago my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and had it checked and they said that my engine have a defect in it which caused the cylinder heads to malfunction. I was told this is common with the v6 engines in these vehicles. I was told that Chrysler put a extended warranty on 2011 models thru 2014. My 2015 although ithas the same engine didn't make the cut. Everyone I call say my warranty expired and there's nothing they can do now I'm stuck with a car that I'm paying for that's practically no good.
I purchased this car brand new and I've had the same problem to the current date. The car engine will shut off while I am driving. I took it back to the dealer and they said it was a software problem and they updated the software. The car worked fine for a while and then started to have the same problem. I took the car back and the dealership said there was no problem found with the car. Now the car is not under warranty and I'm stuck with this problem and a payment for this death trap. This past week the car has stalled multiple times. It will shut off and the "d" light will blink. I put the car in park, shut it off, and then try to restart. It struggles to restart, and then will finally start. This happened while I was making a left turn and left my family and I coasting in front of oncoming traffic. I have made a right hand turn and the car engine shut off causing the car behind me to sla. On brakes and drive up on the sidewalk. This issue is very dangerous. My car is not listed under a recall, but it is having the same issue as Chrysler 200's that are being recalled. Trading this car will only set up another buyer because this issue is not detectable. No check engine light or any other caution light comes on.

My car stalls and dies when slowing for stoplights or slowing traffic. No check engine lights it does eventually restart. Terribly scary when I have my children in the car. No one can figure out what is wrong as it downs throw any codes and no idiot lights come on. This has happened multiple times today being the most recent.
While driving or accelerating from a stop my vehicle will lose all power and will display a message saying shift to park. The gear knob will flash and lock, the check engine light and other messages will pop up saying to service transmission. Also while accelerating my vehicle jumps. There was one time the vehicle completely stalled while turning. All of my driving is on city streets and very rarely do I drive on a highway.

My 2016 Chrysler 200 stalls randomly in traffic on the highway. I was on my way home from ocean city, MD when I hit traffic at the bay bridge. I was trying to switch lanes when I noticed my power steering was not working followed by a message on the screen stating to put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. Vehicle restarted but was not shifting correctly. Happened a second time in a similar situation. This is a major safety hazard. I don't even know where to begin looking for the problem because there is no check engine light indicating what is happening.
First problem: the car stalls and/or dies while driving. It did this while my daughter was driving and she had to pull over on the highway. I managed to get it started and drive it home but it would not go over 25 mph. The check engine light, the electronic throttle control light, and the traction control light (?) were all on. Second problem: there is a message to service airbag system comes on. I did some research and found other people wit the same problem. On the yellow wire box under the passenger seat, there was a black latch (?) that clicked when I squeezed. The message went away.
5/30/19 I purchased my car from gage auto sales in oregon. On 06/01/19 I was left stranded on the side of the road because it would not start. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. On 6/2 dealership said there were no starting issues and no codes and I could pick up the car. Starting issues progressively got worse. Leaving me stranded many times. Check engine light came on 6/23/19. 6/24/19 took car back to the dealership which they had until 07/12/19 stating is was the key fob and push start button. One week it ran fine then rapidly began to not start, check engine lights came on along with transmission lights. The car has been a lemon since day one. The dealership has sent me to a third party mechanic and are telling me the transmission is not covered under my extended warranty. This car had these problems the day after I bought it. It was defective when I purchased it and no one at gage auto sales will help me. I am 23 years old trying to make it on my own and there is no way I can pay 1500 to re-program the transmission. Please help me!.
Check engine light came on, using code p03 misfire on cylinder one; replaced cylinder one and spark plug still coming on and battery flunctuating. Shop stayed it's an electrical issue not the cylinder itself . Battery jumps up and down when in idle and hesitates to start. Do not feel safe taking it anywhereb.
No check engine light, pressing on brake pedal while at a stop sign or red light, automobile stalls. Put it in park and restart, rpm range varies. Use brakes too much rpm increases need to stop vehicle and restart to get better rpm and dashboard blinks for the mileage.
While driving my 200 I lost control of my steering. The check engine light the steering warning light as well as my traction light. I could not turn my wheel at all.

My airbag light stays on permanently. It used to come on intermittently. I have had the problem fixed twice by a Chrysler repair facility. I was told not to worry it's just a wiring harness problem. I'm scared because I've seen airbag recalls and I don't know why my car hasn't been recalled yet. My car also seems to be jerking more frequently. It jerks sometimes when I'm accelerating. I was told this was normal because of the type of engine. I inquired about this not long after I bought the car in 2015. The jerking seems to be getting worse. My check engine light stays on. I can provide info that my airbag sensor problem was fixed twice.
The car stalls out!!! check engine light comes on and the car stops on the highway!! I was driving at a low rate of speed and the car just quit. It refused to start for about 5minutes.
I started to feel the jerk randomly while the car switched gears. Took it for an oil change and told the dealership/mechanic three different times. Each time when I picked it up, they told me they were unable to see the problem after driving it around. It happens sporadically but when it does, the car feels like it ran into a wall and jerks hard. If I was able to make it happen I would so the mechanic could see. Over the past few days I have noticed it has been occurring more frequently. This is taking place while in the highway driving 55 mph, with the cruze control on and still continues with it off. The check engine light also has come on.
I purchased this 2015 200 Chrysler January 1, 2016 from zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of downers. Address 2311 ogden Ave, downers grove ,IL . Leading up to the engine going out the car would just randomly cut off while in motion and also making turns. I took it back to this dealership and they stated that the engine went out. On June 14,2016 that's when I got an engine replaced. I ask if it was new or used and they assured me that it was a new engine. However keeping up with oil changes, my check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic and was told that I needed a tune up done. So I got my spark plugs changed. After that the car would just cut off while in motion and also turning. I tried driving the car to work while turning it on whenever it cuts off. The brakes got so tight on me that I had to use both feet to stop the vehicle. I got the car towed to a car shop and they stated that this car had to be looked at by a dealership. So I got the car towed to the nearest Chrysler dealership and they stated that there was 4 things wrong with this car. Then called me back and stated that this car needed an engine. This car is under a hundred thousand miles and with this problem occurring again for the second time. Looking for help and answers.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the air bag sensor light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hendrick Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge (7630 hendrick auto plaza, concord, nc. ) where it was diagnosed that the electrical wires were faulty. The failure was repaired but reoccurred.

A few days ago the check engine light came on and according to the manual it was not serious but if continued, to have the code checked. I had not had the opportunity to go, but all seemed to be running normally. I was driving on the highway last night and the thermostat light came on and said something regarding the engine temperature came across the messages. I drove to the nearest gas station and checked underneath the hood, and the engine seemed fine. . . Not very hot to the touch so I decided to try and take it to pep boys to have them check it. When I turned the car back on, the light was no longer illuminated and the message was gone, however the check engine light was still on. The pep boys technician checked the code, the code that was read was p0128. I spoke with the technician and he had said he had seen a lot of this issue with the 200 models and advised me to check the recall. . . Which does not have my vehicle for any.
