My car shuts off with no warning what so ever. Check engine is not on and my car runs and drives amazing. I took it to the dealership and they said they fixed it but when I went to drive and hour after I picked the car up from the dealership it shut off.

I was driving in the middle of the street when the car just shut off completely. The car stall I had to call the tow truck and the police for help because I couldn't even put my emergency lights on. I waited for 2 hours and suddenly the car went back on. The car like if nothing ever happened. It was scary luck that I wasn't on the freeway with my children at that time.

This evening when driving my car the vehicle stalled out and cut off a number of three times within a 10 minute span. Once while making a right turn out of the parking lot of my job, second when coming to a full stop at the parking lot entrance and last as I was begining the merge onto the highway from an on ramp. The day prior the car shut off completely a total of 5 times at various points throughout the day. My vehicle is regularly maintained by the service department where I purchased my vehicle brand new. There were no warning light or indicators that there was an issue. The only notification was to "shift car to park to start engine". This issue nearly caused a major accident when attempting to merge onto the highway this evening. This is highly concerning as this issue could potentially cost my family or myself our lives should the vehicle shut off at the wrong moment. I've searched numerous sites about this problem and it appears there are a lot of people experiencing this issue with the same year and model as well as ones produced prior to 2016. This concern is life threatening and should be treated as such with some form of remedy from the manufacturer.

Car shut off while driving 70 mph on highway, car will no longer start engine completely locked.

At random times, the car will just shut off while driving l or turning. Absolutely no power for a little bit. This has happened multiple time. I am unsure if this electrical or something to do with the engine. I have called to see if there was a recall she was told there wasn�t. I have seen multiple posts online speaking of this same problem from quite a few people.

"cold start" my car had a recall for a device that needed to be replaced. "shuts off while driving" I was informed that it was replaced and this would solve the problem. "cold start" this is happening again in the mornings, the car starts fine: I'll sit and let it warm for about 5 mins. When I drive out the carport parking make a left, then making a right the car shuts off while driving. This has happened 2 time's last month. Same issue this month, but it has happened 10 times this month. I warm the car and then proceed to drive, shuts off completely , before it would start right up, now it's having a delayed starting issue as if it doesn't want to start. Same routine as to warming up my car, I made a right onto the street and when slowing down because there was a dip, car shut off, 3 attempts to start it up. The car shut off again at the stop sigh before heading into a major intersection of oncoming traffic. It is now taking at most 3 times to attempt before the car starts and now the needles in the car on the dash board roll over from the 0 and back. It also has a delay when trying to exhilarate. This is happened to my on the streets while in motion, making turns, driving straight. This is very dangerous and the recall specified that the car could shut off while on the highway.

On Saturday 29/9/2019 I was getting ready to go to work from fremont, CA to san jose, CA and my car wouldn't start. I had to press the push start several times to get it to start,. Once it did start when I turned on the defroster it started shaking and turned off. I had to let it idle more than 15 minutes before it warmed up. I made it around the block about a quarter mile before I came to a stop sign and the car shut off. I managed to turn it back on and pull over. It continued to stall until I got back home. Since then it's been shaking when on idle and it jerks between gears. While on the 880 freeway the car will decelerate during peak traffic hours causing me to have to pull over to the slow lanes to avoid getting rear ended. I'm taking to the dealership for diagnostics.

The car has shuts off while driving. I bought the car used last year in March 2018. It had issues w/jerking between gears and "hopping", but several months ago, just shut off while driving 75 mph on a highway (twice in 15 mins). Dealership attempted to fix. But, its back to same problem. It shut off Tuesday while out of town at a hotel while pulling out onto a 5 lane road. Supposedly fixed, and then shut off on interstate 695 around baltimore last night while two lanes of traffic over. Shutting off with -0- warning while traveling on busy interstates is extremely dangerous and possible life threatening. Per research, this seems to be a major issue for this car, not sure why NHTSA has not recalled it yet.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving 70 mph, the instrument panel lighting flickered and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle restarted after fifteen minutes. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was not available.

The engine completely shuts off without warning when at an idle or slowing down to make a stop. It has done this now about 12 times within the last month. My car just made it to 53,000 miles and has always had regular oil changes and maintenance. So far, I have been able to put it in park and restart. I was taking my daughter to school yesterday and it stalled in the middle of the road and the engine died. The first time that it ever happened I put the car in reverse to back out of my driveway and it died three different times. No warnings or lights. I have taken it to a mechanic shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic test and. . . Nothing. The engine has died and stalled 3 times since being in the shop.

My Chrysler 200 2013 touring stalled on me while coming to a stop at a stop sign I was stuck in a intersection for almost an hour and had to direct traffic around me so I wouldn't get hit. This is not the first time this has happened. This is the 5th time my car has stalled on me and I've only had it for 2 months, stalled twice on busy intersections I could have died. It stalled on me while I was going 55 mph and the lanes were so tight I almost couldn't get to the side of the road without getting hit and when I finally did the lanes were so close that I couldn't park on the side of the road for safety without being terrified someone going to come down the hill and not see me and hit me. Also I was just doing a beach cruise one time and it stalled on me I had to park and wait like a hour and 30 minutes for help. Another time I was doing a right turn onto my house and the engine just shut off so I had to make a wide right turn with barely any steering power could've been a major accident. The car just loses it power and shuts off without any warning. I've gotten a diagnostics and nothing showed wrong with the car, but there is something wrong. I've seen many of the same problems people are having online and the problem is not getting fixed at all. I'm seeing people replace fuel pumps, starters, batteries, alternators and no fix for the stalling just wasting money. Thousands of people online on sites are struggling with this car. People cars are stalling on them and are almost getting them killed. Chrysler is not doing anything to help these people, no recalls on the car and people are taking their cars to the dealership and wasting money because the problem still occurs even after the dealership. Really sad there needs to be something done with these cars my life is in danger and I'm only 19 years. The Chrysler 200 needs to be recalled very dangerous car.

Car just shuts off while driving . Stopped at a red light waiting to turn and when it turned green the engine began to stall. Wasn't expected and almost caused me to get into an accident- I was on a city street . I had to put my car park and restart it a few times . I took my car to Chrysler this morning and they said there is no recall and maybe it's my oil life but I just got a oil change a few days ago . I feel very unsafe driving this car on the road.

I have had this car 3 months and the following this has happen numerous times over 10 and almost cost me my life along with family members. 1. While driving the vehicle the engine shuts off for no reason with no warning lights. I must put the car in park and put brake on to restart car and the engine just continue to turn over before it catches. The vehicle has stalled/shut -off on me going over a railroad track with me and my grandkids in the car. I am so blessed no train was coming. 2. While driving the car will also shift unexpected to neutral. 3. When I go to accelerate the car will hesitate and jerk and act like it may be stuck in between gears. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership and the salesperson drove the car and it happen to him as he was driving and came back and said I can't tell you the problem but you do have a major problem it shut off on him as he was driving it on a major road. I have taken it to a shop left it over night and the mechanic states you have major problems with this car. It is unsafe to drive. All this problem with the car has been while the car was in motion on city streets and highway. All of this started January 4, 2019. The 2015 Chrysler 200 is a death trap and lemon!.

"takata recall" my car shuts down while driving which is a big problem because my children is the car. Also when I push the gas it stalls then it turn over .

Takata recall my vehicle shut down on me last night while driving for the umpteenth time since I've had it. I've contacted Chrysler but of course they act as if they know nothing. I got serviced for two recalls one in 2016and the other 2017 and neither have remedied the issue. There is no code, no lights come on or anything. The only warning warning that I get is for me to put it in park in order to restart it. I'll never purchase another Chrysler in my life.

My daughter was driving on the highway at 70 mph when the 2011 Chrysler 200 just shut off. Dash went dark, radio off, car completely turned off! luckily she was by an off ramp and was able to coast to a stop at the top of the ramp. The only thing that was still working was the brakes, thank goodness! the car did not restart right away. No electrical components came back on either with turning the key. About an hour later the car did restart. We took it to a Chrysler dealership the next day. They kept it for 2 days. They were unable to pull any codes from the car or recreate the event, thus being unable to fix the car and answer why it happened!.

The first incident of the car stalling occurred in a parking lot on 8/18/18, it just shut off while still in gear. I put it in park and restarted it and I was able to continue driving. Later that same day, I was driving home, thankfully on a quiet road. It started to sputter and shut off again while still in gear. Somehow I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road. This time, I could not get it restarted, so I called my roadside assistance who towed the car to the place I purchased it. They changed the spark plugs and said they were oxidized and were probably the cause. I picked up the car on 8/21/18 and it drove ok. The next day, I was driving home and as I turned the corner onto a busier road, it stalled again while still in gear. I could not get it to restart at all. This was quite scary even though I was over as far to the right side of the road as I could be with my hazard lights on. I called roadside assistance again and I received a text that they would be there in less than 45 minutes, and then another stating they would be there in less than 20 minutes. The sheriff that showed up said she wasn't waiting around for 75 minutes and forced me to have my car towed by the county tow company as she said it would be faster. My tow company showed up less than 2 minutes after theirs did, but I was told too bad and they took my car to impound. I had to come up with almost $300 to get my car out and then I called my roadside and they switched me over to Chrysler roadside who was able to tow the car to the nearest Chrysler dealer, where it now sits. I told them I am afraid to drive this car now and I want it fixed. I am thinking it is this is the electrical system recall r24.

Driving down highway and car shut off. The dash lights went out but control lights stayed on. Took 3 attempts to start again. 2nd time this has happened.

I owe a 2011 Chrysler 200s and it has been stalling and cutting off without warning it has been taken to the dealership on different occasions and they cannot find the cause. I have read over 300 complaints about engine stalling with the same make, model and year of my car. Chrysler manufacturer is refusing to assist. I near cause 2 accidents due to car stalling on the interstate. When the car shuts off I had no steering capability and when trying to start it wont until about an hour later.

Vehicle stall when turning. Oil pressure pos up as low even though oil gauge says full. Car struggles to get in gear. Car shuts off when making a turn.

My Chrysler 200 started shutting itself off while driving. The lights and radio stay on but the brakes and steering are manual. The dealership informed me that I was low on oil and that the car is equipped with a safety feature to shut the car off when oil is low. This car is 10 mths old and only 11k miles. It continued after that visit and after shaming Chrysler on twitter, they opted to replace the motor. The problem is this car shuts off while driving. The engines are the same and this problem will kill someone. The auto is not equipped with a low oil light and I have been told to check oil every month! I am picking the car up today with an engine that is new to this car but, I am petrified to drive it. If it shuts off on the freeway, how am I to get over before I get hit. Chrysler states that is no problem if this engine is faulty because they will cover under warranty. What will it take-someone dying? I do not want to be that person. Since I am going to get this death trap I called to make sure they fixed the cruise control. Dealership stated that the car is not on recall. From all my research all 200's are on recall. So, now I have a car that will turn off when the oil gets low (with no warning light to tell you oil is low) and I cannot use the cruise control.

Car shuts off while in motion.

Engine light on, code p0456 evap system small leak-I don't have any leaks car shuts down.

My 2016 Chrysler 200 was purchased brand new, has only 15000 miles. When pulling into traffic the engine shuts off. Dashboard prompt says put in park to start. Car won't start until after 3 attempts and in the middle of traffic and several near missed rear enders car started but stuttering and no power. Finally after sitting in the middle of traffic for 5 or 10 minutes engine smoothed out. No warning at all. Extremely scary and dangerous, both times car was in motion turning onto a busy street in heavy traffic, engine just shut off for no reason. Dealership said oil change was needed but oil life gauge said 51% and oil change wasn't due for another 500 miles. Tech. At the dealership said it was a safety feature. I don't see anything safe about the engine shutting off in the middle of traffic. Very unsafe and dangerous. Should be a recall for this before someone hurt or killed.

Car shuts off while driving. �put in park and restart� appears on screen and car loses all power.

2015 Chrysler 200 have had nothing but trouble with the car since purchase. Transmission runs very rough, car jerks, shifts gears unexpectedly, engine shuts off while driving. 9/29/17 engine shut off while driving and car hit a curb. Have taken to the dealership over and over and they say nothing is wrong with the car and have not noted in my file that I have complained about transmission problems. Was contacted by Chrysler engineers that were doing a study on the transmission problems and wanted me to test drive a newer model to compare. They admitted Chrysler knew about problems with this model but have been unable to get Chrysler to admit or buy back the vehicle.

While turning onto the on ramp of the freeway one morning, the car engine shut off. I had to quickly get out and push the car out of the lanes. The car prompted shift to park and attempted to restart. After some time approximately 2 to 3 minutes trying to start, the vehicle started back up. The lights were dimmer and power was weak. Drove about a mile (at 32mph as the max speed the car would allow) and it shut off again. Once again prompting to shift to park. The vehicle restarted with no issue this time. Made it to the front of my house, 3 miles away from where it stopped the second time, and it stopped again.

It started yesterday morning July 5th 2017, as I was driving 45mph to work my car just shut off with no warning. . It happened twice. . Today July 6th on my way home taking a right hand turn my car shuts off again, no warning. . Tried starting it which it started but then notice the engine light was on and my oil light came on saying needs oil change. . . . I still have over a thousand miles before my next oil change is due. . . Later that day I checked my oil which was good, didn't need any. . I'm just confused on what's going on especially when I just paid $6500 to pay the car off. . .

While driving on the freeway during stop-and-go, rush hour traffic, my vehicle's engine completely shut off without any warning. At the moment of the engine stalling, I was coasting with my foot off of the accelerator at less than 5 mph, up a slight incline, on an overpass and inside of a construction zone that was void of a shoulder to pull off onto. When I attempted to depress the accelerator to make it over the uphill overpass, the pedal was limp and nothing happened. The electrical panel in my dash was off, with the vehicle still in drive and no physical or audio signs of warning occurred prior to the engine shutting off. I quickly hit the brakes to avoid rolling in reverse down the overpass, shifted the vehicle into park and turned the ignition key to off. When I attempted the restart the engine, the vehicle started as if nothing had occurred. After driving through the remainder of the construction zone, I exited the freeway. After making a sharp, right-handed turn from the off-ramp to the local road, the emergency "brake" warning light on the dash turned on and was accompanied with an audio warning. The light remained lit for the duration of the turn and for approximately 500 feet afterward until it turned off. No other abnormalities were observed with the vehicle. The vehicle has slightly more than 120k miles on it and nothing like this has ever occurred in the past. This appears to be a common problem with the 200, especially with the 2011 and 2012 models. My engine is a 4-cyl, 2. 4l. Despite this widespread hazard, and an early investigation by the NHTSA, no recall has been mandated. The rationale? because it occurs at a "low rate if speed". This is absurd. I was on a freeway overpass, inside a construction zone, during rush hour. If this not a hazard, I don't know what is. Please mandate a recall for this before someone dies on a train track or intersection.

Vehicle shut down at random after 1 month of driving when purchased April 2017 and has been stalling and randomly shutting down since. There has been two to three maintenance checks at two auto services including chysler. This problem has not ben fixed. I was deiving everytime it shutdown and the vehicle stalls while driving and sometimes when stationary.

This vehicle has shut off on me while driving. I was driving home from work last night and the car just shut off, telling me to shift to park and select desired gear. The gear indicator was still showing I was in drive, but the engine was completely off. I tried to start the car 3 more times and it wouldn't start. I purchased this car November, 21, 2015. Luckily I wasn't driving fast or anything, I was able to just sit in the road until the car came back on. I am really terrified to drive this vehicle anymore.

Engine shuts off while driving down the road. It happens on the freeway, on city streets, or at idle. We had the pcm updated in December 2016. It is now March 2017 and the vehicle continues to shut down while driving or at idle. It is extremely dangerous. The brakes barely work and you lose power steering when this happens. This is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. There are hundreds if not thousands of posts online about this issue, with no resolution. This needs to be addressed before someone dies.

I'm driving the car just shuts off, it seems to be something with the pcm that were to replace. This was very scary and dangerous. This happened in the middle of the intersection traffic flowing and the car stops. It's hard to turn or brake to get out the way of coming traffic.
