36 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 12/10/2019

The parking brake activates without touching it. I thought I was probably hitting it on accident but I'm no where near it. It's really scary. When I'm slowing down the car will accelerate on its own and the airbag light comes on and off.

37 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2016 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 12/09/2019

Car has shut off while driving last few weeks. It happened. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 mph, it has happened while trying to merge onto the freeway. The car just stalls, says "place in p to start" and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. This has happened with several cars behind me and have almost been rear ended because of it. Took it to the dealship but, all they told me to do was track my oil changes but, the problem still remains.

I am continuing to have a several transmission problems with the car since I bought it I was not aware of the issues that these vehicles had with transmission I have been to the Chrysler dealership more than once . Not only do they provide the word customer service that I have ever had but they told me that the car just needs to be updated like an iphone which is not something I've ever heard of . Today it would not shift into the correct gear and almost had me hit somebody in rear-end them it is very unsafe and has happened more than once. I need help.

42 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2017 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 09/24/2019

I purchased my vehicle brand new in 2017 and started experiencing issues within the first year. The car has cut off multiple times while driving, without warning, in the middle of rush hour traffic. It also frequently stalls. I've taken my vehicle to 3 different dealerships in 2 different states at least 10 times. Two of the three dealerships claimed that the problem was some sort of fuse underneath the driver's seat. After the car continued to shut off without warning, I was told that it was due to low oil. I've called Chrysler's headquarters who has given me a free oil change package and instructed me to return to a dealership every 500 - 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. They know that the car is burning an unusual amount of oil which is a clear indication that there's a problem. Instead of issuing a recall, they continue to put lives in danger by giving them back their death trap of a car and instructing them to check and get frequent oil changes. I'm guessing their hope is to keep the oil changes going until the warranty runs out. Someone's going to lose their life or get seriously injured in these cars, I just pray that it's not me.

48 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2014 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 06/17/2019

When the car is parked after starting it wants to accelerate quickly also at a stop position once you take your foot off the brake the car quickly accelerates without using the gas peddle. Also engine light and etc indicator periodically come on. They never stay on but causes total loss of power ! you have to pull over immediately and hope you do not cause an accident and shut the car off. An accident waiting to happen. . Owners manual makes it sound like it is only a problem if the light stays on and does not shut off after you cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the park position. I have to be very cautious driving the car. Will be taking it to the shop soon. It feels like you have no control over the car when this happens very scarey situation.

50 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 06/02/2019

These past few days my car has been stalling out with no warning. All of these times I have been driving in traffic. The car stalls and message will appear to something upon put your foot on the brake and put in park. Once you do that the car will try to restart itself. My car eventually restarts but has still yet restarted on the first try. There is no check engine light on or any other warning codes( no warning codes before nor after the stalling). This is a big safety issue Chrysler needs to look into and address.

52 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 04/15/2019

While driving the instrument cluster went out. Speedometer and all electronics and displays went out. I had to pull over on the highway and turn off the car and back on and the display went back on. The check engine light came on and when I took it to the dealer they said the codes that came up are inconclusive. This is the 4th time this has happened and it seems to only happen during warm or hot weather. This is very concerning while driving. Searching various forms, it seems this is an issue other Chrysler drivers have experienced.

55 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 03/13/2019

The car engine keeps on stalling while it is in motion. The car suddenly stops while I am driving it. There are no warning lights, visual cues or sounds to indicate any problem. As a result, the car's power steering becomes inoperable. The speed of the car varies at the time of each incident. Each time this incident has happened, the car has become disabled in the middle of the street. There have been 5 incidents this past month. So far, the car has been able to restart after putting the car in park and after a couple of attempts of pushing the start button along with stepping on the brakes. It usually takes a couple of minutes. During that time, my car is in the middle of the street and in traffic. I have had my children in the car during some of these incidents. It is an extreme safety risk.

56 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2013 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 03/10/2019

I was driving and all of a sudden the car started making a loud whining noise and seemed to be downshifting and lurching by itself. It was not shifting properly and it seemed to be doing stuff by itself. I did not have control over what it was doing. I had to pull off the highway and called triple a and the car had to be towed. It was repaired and now 2 weeks later it again downshifted by itself out of the blue and started whining again. It has not been driven since.

60 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 01/27/2019

Takata recall. . I went to galena twice for the same problem. Each time they've told me they fixed the problem. My service park brake comes on and so does the service transmission, it comes on when I start the car and doesn't allow me to shift gears. This is the second time I've had to deal with this problem. I am borderline wanting to go forth with a lawsuit because I fear my life is in danger when I drive this car. But I have no choice. I have three jobs and I'm a full time student so I need transportation that's reliable and I feel like with this car it's fucking far from it.

62 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Chrysler 200

Failure Date: 01/23/2019

Vehicle is trying to stall out while driving and in sitting position. Always happens right after I re-fuel. It starts jerking, sometimes it is a slight jerk but today it jerked very hard that it really scared me. Also when starting the vehicle it struggles to start up. It will continue to not drive right for a little bit of time and then it goes back to driving fine until I re-fuel again. It started about a month ago and has never stopped since then. I have looked up recalls for this issue and it shows I don't have one. This really needs to be checked out and become a recall.

Takata recall, my Chrysler 200 2015 is having issues where it seems like it's stuck in neutral and doesn't want to accelerate. My car started rumbling pretty intensely I don't even have 80,000 miles on my car and it says my VIN number doesn't match any recalls but everything I've looked up it sounds the same recall the other Chrysler 200 2015 cars had as well. How do I go about getting this fixed?? I was on the freeway and it happened randomly when I went to switch lanes.

I replaced the transmission axle harness back iin 2016 when I got the car. But not all of a sudden the abs sensor keeps going out and it comes on and off after replacing it. I replaced it the car was fine then boom its back on. The car speeds up when I just be going 10 miles an hour and I have to slam on my brakes to keep it from going out of control. I almost had two accidents with this issue. And the dealership keeps telling me that recall was fixed but I dont believe it was. My car keeps trying to speed up with me just even pulling off from a parking spot. Its a Chrysler 200 s 2015 . I think this car is horrible and I am stuck with this lemon.
