Chrysler 200 owners have reported 3 problems related to transmission not engage (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Chrysler 200 based on all problems reported for the 200.
When driving between 30 and 45 mph, the vehicle shifts hard between gears. Most recently another problem occurred l, while pushing on the accelerator to pass or accelerate quickly, the transmission does not engage, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate. The engine will rev and the tachometer will increase but the car will not move. If the driver was trying to move out of the way of a vehicle coming twords them they would be helpless and this could cause serious injury or death to all drivers. I have taken my vehicle to an approved fca mechanic, and was told they could not duplicate the problem, or the transmission needed a reprogramming. I have had this service done now 7 times and no guarantee that it won't happen again.

1- when accelerating after third gear transition goes blank or disengages and when accelerator is released downshifts abruptly. 2- sometimes when shifting from reverse to drive transmition would not engage. The automaker's fca number for this recall is s55.
The vehicle has had repeated electrical problems where the instrument panel will suddenly start flashing service transmission, service airbags, service brakes and during that time the electronic gear shift disengages from drive and alternates from park to low while the vehicle is moving. The dealership finally after two years of complaining and being turned away because the car was not storing an codes found the vehicle had a faulty electronic module in the transmission. This transmission has been service and reprogrammed 4 times since it's purchase in June of 2014 and now there is a new recall for the same issue. I'm not safe in this death trap.
