CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Chrysler 200 carries the torch of "never buy the 1st year of a new vehicle generation" with pride.
The 2015 model year is the first year of the Chrysler 200's 2nd generation. It has been plagued by problems from the start. Transmission failure at extremely low mileage, many recalls, problems stalling while driving... the list goes on. Maybe Chrysler should have stuck with the 1st generation.
The radio isn't working. It keeps resetting itself. It will work for an hour then will shut off randomly for a couple of days. I drive 120 miles to work and back everyday and this problem just started at 34,000 miles. Dealer can't see it for 2 weeks so I had to take a photo of odometer so it would be covered under basic warranty. Not happy at this time, in fact I'm so mad I'm gonna trade off this hunk of junk as soon as it's fixed so it won't happen again! I always buy UAW made in the USA.
I've had the radio replaced in my Chrysler 200 twice. I will be driving along and all of a sudden the radio goes black. Sometimes it comes back on after I restart the car, sometimes not. The dealership has been responsive but it means many trips over there - they always want you to bring it in so they can look at it and then they have to order a new radio and you have to come back again. The radio still works when this happens but you can't see anything. You can't use any of the features on the screen because it is black. It also necessitates calling up the Sirius/XM folks and setting my account up again.
Went to the store with my grandchildren. We were listening to the radio. Came back to the car from being in the store and the whole radio system would not come on. It was 2 days before it came back on.
