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.

When the vehicle is in neutral is sputters and the electrical flickers. I replaced the battery and it is still doing it. The rpms randomly fluctuate and it's not consistent. I feel like the vehicle is just going to stall out as I'm driving down the freeway. Also the ignition button I have to hold on and cannot just push the start button. It's just not running properly.
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.
The car stalled out and completely shut off as I was driving 30 mph. It was extremely dangerous and could've caused a accident. It wouldn't turn back on for about a minute. This has happened twice in the past week. I looked up other people who have had same issue and it shows there was a recall for the vehicle. A lot of others had the same issue. The recall number was S09. I need to know what I should do with my vehicle as soon as possible. It's too dangerous to drive. This happened with my kids in the car.
Turned off vehicle went into store came back out try to crank it up and it never started up. It does this about twice a week. I thought the battery went out so I bought a new one and it still didn't start up. Stuck in parking lot for hours
The check engine light always is on the light of the air bag warning is off and on and most of the time remain on the system does not indicate when the tires are under the pressure. Water enters through the passenger left door, making the door very heavy

There have already been several recalls on this issue with this vehicle and the recall dates do not reach our vehicles manufactured date by a month.

The car gets stuck in park. The emergency parking brake comes on at random. The service transmission indicator comes on's daily. And the car stop accelerating constantly.
The car has a several second hesitation when placing your foot on the gas when starting from either a stopped position or a slowed position. The car has stalled on several occasions when going from reverse to drive, when slowly backing up it looses power and stalls as I put my foot on the brake to change from reverse to drive.

Vehicle suspension seems to have gone bad. 2015 sedan now sounds like an older car when riding over rough spots in pavement. Also, AWD not available light first flashed on when taking a left turn on rainy day. It was followed by service AWD indicator light coming on. At first these indicator lights would come on intermittently, but now come on each time engine is started and the service AWD light now stays on until the engine is shut off.
