It has done it before like 6 months after we bought it but it hasn't done it again. I thought I had turned the wrong knob so didn't really look into it much until recently. It almost got is killed. We were gettingoff an exit turning right and it died in the middle of turning. In front of the cars comingour way. . It shuts off while driving at any speed and flashes "shift to park" in order to do that you have to completely stop and shift it then turn off your car in hopes it'll start right up. . . It dont. We were on a busy over pass when it happened a few days ago. Yesterday (04/26/2021) we were by the court house and it done the same thing. Today (04/27/2021) it didn't even want to start. It idled high and acted like it was dying. I of course had to drive my children to school so it was scary.

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!?.
As I was driving down the busy highway my car shut down completely. Steering wheel locked, car turned off and brakes locked. This is very dangerous. I could of gotten in a horrible car accident. When mechanic checked it out he said there was nothing wrong with it and that there was a recall on this vehicle. I have been check and it says no recalls.

While driving about 30 miles an hour my car just shuts off and then won't start for about 5 minutes this almost caused me to have a collision because I could not steer very well. The car has not been serviced I have about 93,000 miles on my car. I'm only working part time because of covid and cannot afford to get it fixed. Please help me figure out what's wrong with my car.
I was driving towards an intersection to merge right onto the main highway when I was in motion still my car shut off and said �shift to p� when I did so it wouldn't restart. The steering locked up and I couldn't move. It did not give me any warning or sign it was going to do so. I had almost pulled out onto the highway too. The radio and everything worked just fine. This happened once last year on a curvy two lane highway and I got lucky that I had a turn off when my car shut off. I called Chrysler and they apparently reset the system and it has been good since. It's not the alternator and it is not the battery. We ruled that out then. Jumping it does not fix the problem.

The car is stopping at every time the gas accelerates the car shuts down.
On multiple occasions the car has just shut off on its own while in motion. This has happened at least 10 times. Does not matter what speed you are going, the engine will just shut off on its own. The most recent incidents were on a highway going around 55mph and happened twice within a 8 minute period. The first time was going over a bridge and the car shut off. Waited about 3 minutes and the car started. 5 minutes later the car shut off again. Did not restart for another 10 minutes.

The car will randomly shut off without warning. No warning lights, no error codes, nothing. I was going down the interstate and the car shut off requesting that I place it in park. Sometimes it will start back up sometimes it takes days. This has happened on over 15 occasions.
It shuts off while driving . . Without no warning lights indicating that theres any problem. . The battery voltage is good and my alternator is good as well . It shut off on me more than three times.
Car shut down when slowing and turning and randomly. There is not warning and car will not immediately start back up. Mostly on city streets but in traffic areas and curved roads. So when turning left and slowing down for that turn it just shuts down and I barely make to pull it to the side of the road and I had to have it towed home when it wouldn't start back up right away. This has happened 5-6 times in the last 3 months after I have purchased the car from instant auto.
Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle just shut off. The vehicle coasted down the road and the power steering turned off. The contact was able to pull the vehicle off the road to the shoulder. The contact waited five minutes and the vehicle eventually restarted to be driven home.

I purchased this car new off the dealership showroom in summer of 2017. A couple days after having it, I was driving down a street in my hometown and the vehicle just shut completely off. I was in the middle of traffic and began to panic because I didn't want to get into an accident. I took the car to the dealership and they �fixed� the issue. Shortly after, while at a stop light, the car shut off again in traffic and took a while to restart. Everything in the vehicle turns off. I again took it to the dealership and they �fixed� the issue. Here we are just last week, 08/15/2020 and I'm driving on a major thru way and the vehicle cuts off again. There have never been any warning signs, lights on the dashboard/ reason for me to believe something was wrong. My vehicle barely has 50k miles. After looking up my VIN to see if there had been a recall (there isn�t), I did notice that the year prior (2015) same make and model have a recall for the same electrical issue I've been complaining about. This matter is serious as the cars turns off unexpectedly and could cause a terrible accident. I will upload my paper work from the dealership the first 2x. I have not driven the vehicle since 8/15/20 as I'm afraid that someone will get hurt. I've called to report the issue at the 888 number listed but the phone just hangs up. At the time of purchase I lived in niagara falls, NY and purchased the vehicle from joe cecconi's Chrysler complex. I currently live in charlotte, nc where the most recent incident occurred.

She was driving down a city road 35 mph and the motor shut off for no reason she had no power steering and the breaks where too hard for her to press the trans locked up and put it self into park and that must be why the trans is slipping after only 56000 miles on the car this has happened twice now in a month and after the car shuts down it does start right back up and drive normal after that.
The vehicle shut off while driving, shortly after being started. I've already installed a new battery. It happened again on 6/6/2020.
We turned onto a main road and we were in front of traffic driving down the road. We had to apply the brakes due to someone cutting us off, then when we tried to accelerate again it shut off and said shift to park while we were in the middle of a busy road. The car behind us almost crashed into us and had to swerve away from us. We had no control over our vehicle, all we could do is try to get the car to turn back on, to get out of traffic. However, we tried to and the car wasn't functioning correctly. The d for the drive position was blinking. We had to completely stop the car, in the middle of traffic, and hope that we didn't get hit by oncoming traffic coming from behind us due to having to control over our vehicle. We pushed the button to the ignition/start to start it and it wouldn't start it. It sounded like it had no power at all and then after a few attempts, while exposed and defenseless in the middle of the road with my family, it finally started and we got going again. This is not the first time this has happened, however, it's the first time it has with my family in the car. This car is unpredictable and unsafe due to that, my family at risk just going to the grocery store. It is our only means of transportation. We looked it up, it falls under crystler recall s55.
Quite a few times now I have been driving down the road coming to a stop and my vehicle just shuts off. Oil life says 30% but the car still stalls and runs rough. I've almost been in 2 collisions because of this, and I've paid for 3 of the tows. They replaced my ecu but the problem is still happening.
My engine keeps stalling when I decelerate or come to a complete stop. It has done this multiple times in just one week and it's very dangerous. I slowed down on I-77 due to something laying in the highway and my engine shut off. I had to hurt and put it in neutral to crank it back up. Thank god it crunk it in time to keep me from being hit by another vehicle or semitrailer truck.
Tl-the contatct owns a 2013 chyrsler touring 200. The contact stated that the vehicle had been shutting off so the contact had the battery replaced and researched and also checked the altinator. Twice the vehicle shut off while on the highway and the contact had to glide the vehicle to the side of the road. Both times. The contact had to try multiple times before the vehicle finally restarted . The dealer and the manufacturer had not been contacted for this issue. The contact had seen on the web that this vehicle had this issue with the vehicle not starting for a variety of reasons and different repairs that have been very expensive. The failure mileage was 42,000. Tf.
The car stalls and shuts down with no warning at all. Has been in the shop for the last 3 weeks. It was bought used from drivetime in duluth georgia. I was told by national tire and battery that they were not going to touch when I took it there for repair, they recommend that I take it to a Chrysler dealer, at that time it would randomly stall but would start back up so I went to work the next day and they car stalled again and got really sluggish I was able to make over to Chrysler dealership in buford georgia. They said it needed a tire sensor after they put the tire sensor on it stalled out on them again so they then said it needed a abs modular once they installed the abs modular took it for a test drive and it stalled on them again then they said they found some loose wires near the transmission the fixed and the car was running. I had the car for 2 days and it stalled out again. Drivetime then sent a tow truck over to take the car back to Chrysler in buford now they are saying the car needs a wiring harness at this point to me the car is unsafe and not reliable at all. I pick my grandkids up daily and I can not afford to have them in the back seat and the cars stalls and we get hit. Obviously they don't know what wrong and they are speculating. I have only had this car 4 month on February 12th 2020 and it's been in the shop for the last 3 weeks and Chrysler can't even repair a Chrysler. . . This is a huge problem. Drivetime is paying for everything so far except our funerals god forbid something awful should happen. This all happened on highway 78 in snellville georgia and they car was in motion when it stalled out. This is unsafe, we could have been rammed the car just shuts down in the middle of accelerating, slowing down for a turn, going downhill, in the intersection it has shut down but that time it started right back up.
This car has a problem with cutting off with out proper light warnings. It shuts off while in motion, which is very dangerous. I have taking it to be seen but no one can find a problem with it. I have searched online and found people owning these types of cars are having the same issue. It is not the battery starter or anything of that nature so its something else. It happens while in motion on city streets and most deffinately while making turns.
The other day I just driving down a hill and my car just shut off, which was very scary , I push the start button a few times and it starts and drives fine, til today I'm taking my kids to school and it shuts down in the middle of traffic, and I had til sit for a couple cause it wouldn't start, finally after pushing the start button it started and then a few hours later I stop at the store and the car shuts down once again as I'm parking my car. This is a server hazardous driving this car.
Two times in the last week my car has stalled while I was driving. The first time I was turning onto a busy street and was stuck in the middle and the second time I was on railroad tracks. No lights came on to indicate a problem before it shut off. It took multiple tries before the car turned back on. No codes come up when checking for a problem so mechanics have told me there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.
My 2017 Chrysler 200, that I purchased on October 8, 2018 has started to just shut down while I'm driving, with no warning. This is extremely dangerous especially in the type of busy traffic that I drive in, daily. I'm thankful that the times it did shut off, it happened in my neighborhood, while I was slowing down to stop at a stop sign, and before I'd gotten into heavy traffic. It shut down on December 20, 2019 at a stop sign, and the exact same thing happened again on December 22, 2019. Both times, it didn't restart immediately when I pressed the start button. It stalled for a moment the first time, and perhaps 2 minutes the second time. I turned on my emergency blankers the 2nd time it happened, and I let other drivers know to go around me because it took a little longer to restart. This isn't safe, nor is it good for me as a consumer. That's why I bought an almost new car so I wouldn't have issues such as this while driving.
Driving a vehicle when the engine shut off going approximately 35 mi this has happened before many times.

Vehicle shut off while running on major highway. Immediately took the vehicle to a dealership who told me it was due to lack of oil although we perform routine oil changes. This is very unsafe and Chrysler doesn't want to assist me with this issue.
I was stopped at a red light and light turned green went to press gas and car completely shut off no warning at all no lights on dashboard I put it in park shut it off and started it right back up with no problem this has happened two times in the last week also no codes coming up on scanner.
Driving 60 mph on highway, car shuts down completely. Not first time and happens every couple of months. Dealership acts as if they don't know how to fix problem. I am a single mother with 2 young children riding in this car. Does one of us have to risk dying or serious injury for Chrysler to acknowledge or fixed this problem.
My car shuts off while running and tells me to switch to park. The steering wheel and breaks lock up. This happens mid drive or when I turn a corner and is very dangerous. I had this same problem on my 2015 Chrysler 200 and now I am having the same issue with my 2016 Chrysler. This needs to be fixed this is a manufacturer issue.
The car shut off while I was driving on the highway for no reason. It was extremely dangerous. The entire car shut off and now it's saying service awd.
Driving down the road and the car just shuts off for no reason and I have to try to find away off the road without getting hit. After it sets about a hour it may or may not start.
As I was exiting the freeway coming from 55 mph down to 45 mph the car just shut off a car swerved around jumped down in a ditch due to my vehicle going to a fast halt I waited hours for a tow still didnt get it my car is left in the street because I was alone and couldn't push. . . . It is dark blue and dark on the street it was 11pm when it just broke down. I had no warning it did recrank but as I hit the gas softly I cuts back off now I have tried so many times due to the danger of my location the battery died this has to be a recall and class action suit.
My vehicle shut down on the highway at a high rate of speed (70mph). My steering was also not working at the time. Was able to finally pull over. Restarted the vehicle and it was fine. This is very dangerous.
I was driving about 35 to 40 mph and the car suddenly began to slow down to 5 miles an hour. I pulled over to the side of the road and it shut off. I had it towed where the dealership told me it was the battery. They kept my car for two days. For a new battery. So I popped up there with my fianc� and drove around to the back side of the dealership. I got in my car it started right up. My car had not been touched or anything. I went to the service cashier where he tried to say that put a brand new battery in it. But I pulled up my cell phone pics showing it's the same battery that I put red finger nail polish on to show it's my same battery. They made me pay for � looking st my car� even though they didn�t. I never bought another battery. I drove my car off the lot and the next day it did the same thing again except this time the brake pedal was stiff and I was not able to turn the nozzle to put it in gear. I had it towed to another dealership and they said it was �the battery�. They jumped my car off and sent me on my way. The a/c is going in and out and it smells moldy when I am able to start the piece of shit. I tried to trade my car in this passed Sunday and they said I needed a consigner and 10k down. I don't have bad credit. They were just saying that because they know my car isn't worth anything. The salesman antoine strong told me it's only a matter of time before the transmission goes out. I have 75k miles on my car. It has been one nightmare after the other. This is the worst car I have ever had. Please help me get out of this car. Oh the dealership I got this shitty car from is landmark Dodge Jeep Chrysler ram in morrow, GA. They don't care about what type of car you want they only want to put you in a new car. They send me thousands of flyers a year to trade my car in but when I do they don't want it. I was just told by antoine strong!.
Car engine stalls when driving down the interstate. Engine just shuts off completely. I will pull over and to the side of the road and it will then start back up but does it again. Upto 4 times while driving my car home from work.
Within 1 mile, my car shut off twice while coming to a stop. The screen on the dash said to �shift to p to start�. I did so, and then it sounded as if my car didn't want to start back up and took me three tries the first time and two the second time to get it started. Now looking into it these cars have a history of this same problem since the beginning of them being made, but nothing is being done about it.
