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.

Vehicle is reporting P0128 and P2181 error codes. While driving, vehicle gives an error message that says service electronic throttle control and sounds like it is running really loud. When I turn off the vehicle and turn it back on, the warning goes away and it sounds normal again. Also, have been driving and the car just shuts off out of no where and wont turn on for a few attempts. This has happened on the freeway. Vehicle also seems to accelerate when trying to slow down at a stop sign or light.

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.

The car shut completely off while in an intersection while attempting to make a right turn. The car shut off during a right turn. The car shut off while backing out of my garage. The car jerks as if a ghost is hitting it from behind in the middle of take off from a complete stop at a light or stop sign. It shakes everyone up in front and back seats and it happens randomly and spontaneously. This behavior has been happening for two years now and it wasn't not provoked by an accident. Thank you.

Either myself or my wife have been driving our 200 and while driving it stalls outs. It has happened a number of times for just over a month now. Yesterday I was driving it and it made a bell sound and then I saw something flash about oil but it went off the screen pretty quick. I was slowing around a corner. This morning my wife was driving the 200 and stated that the vehicle stalled twice as she was coming up to stop signs.

The car goes into neutral by itself while driving on the city street. Warning light indicated I needed my transmission serviced while driving on the highway then went away after I let the car sit. Transmission slipped during that time causing the car not to be able to accelerate properly to keep up with the speed limit. Key having problems with my left front tire suspension. Battery died out the blue while parked. Key fob says its undetected but I have it in my hand. I have to put the key directly on the ignition button then push the button to start the car. I wanted to also indicate suspension. The car rattles while driving on regular bumpy roads. My left tire has an issue the mechanic couldn't figure out.

While excellerating the car will hesitate. Sometimes this causes the car to jerk very hard, other times the car acts like its stuck in between gears I have almost been hit a few times because of this. When I am stopped and go to take off it will almost stop and them jump forward real fast. Other times it just jerks a few times and takes off. When I first bought my car it shifted into neutral on it's own a few times. This stopped once an update was done. My check engine light used to come on and go off. Now it stays on. We have taken it to advance auto and the scan tool will not read any codes. The radio, touch screen and steering wheel controls will randomly stop working. I had an alert pop up saying the engine temp hot and service electronic throttle control. The car has been nothing but a headache. My basic warranty has expired. I don't know what to do.

Takata recall. The electrical system in this car has me afraid that if might catch a firer. The dashboard light brighten up and dims down at times. You push one button and it goes to another on the screen. I can not accept the yes to connect my phone on the screen, the engine is stalling when in motion on the highway and city streets.this car is lemon. I have only had it for 1 year and 9mths. There was a coolant leaking and every time they change the oil it was just refilled even after I brought it to there attention.there was a oil leaking around the oil housing and leaking to and over the motor and transmission. The U connect screen features does not work properly and can not update the radio

After vehicle has been driven for a while, the check engine light, traction control, ABS and airbag light comes on and the vehicle loses driving function momentarily and the gas pedal does not move the car for a few seconds. Then I have to press the gas pedal down heavily to get the car to travel at a low speed. The transmission doesn't shift properly and this normally last for a while then stops. A code reader says 'high speed can communication bus' I took it to the dealership and they said that they could not simulate the issue so they couldn't do anything. It normally happens when it is very cold or below freezing outside. Also when it is a hot day the vehicle unlocks it's own doors, starts itself, pops the trunk on it's own when I am nowhere around and the key fob is nowhere near which is dangerous and can cause my car or my belongings to be stolen.

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving my car will just stall in the middle of traffic and not move, air bag light continues to come on repeatedly. I've had this issue looked at twice by the dealership. They charge me and swear it's fixed. This is the third time this has occurred and I get no one with the dealership. The situation is horrifying and unsafe. I decide to place a review seeing I'm getting nowhere with my local dealership. I just need the issue resolved.

Randomly if I hit a bump my airbag light will come on. Now for a 2015 200 limited why am I needing to replace the whole starter assembly and now to have to replace the air shutter grille. The vehicle headlamps are extremely poor. It's very hard to see see on all highways, side streets etc. Now the traction stabilizers light came on as I was backing in to a parking space as well as my brakes just started making a squealing noise out no where as driving on the street. There no reason why there should not be a recall on multiple vehicle issues as most people are stating. Why isn't there a number I can call to file a compliant with all the vehicle issues I've experienced? this just crazy then to have to come outta $1,300 for vehicle repairs is crazy! why does this vehicle stall when the oil is low shameful for the vehicle to stop and and barely start back! tires sucks outside mirrors always have to adjust this brand is garbage!! people everywhere is having issues with the vehicle starting.. please do something about these vehicle issues. There is no reason why this vehicle is 3 years old and is stalling this is embarrassing. On top of having to pay a note that ridiculous. I want to be compensated in the amount of the vehicle repairs.

Takata recall: Where do I start. I have been having many issue with this car the latest issue which just happened my car wouldn't turn on and all the lights on the dash board would turn on the 'service transmission' 'serivce brakes' will turn and they would start flashing. When I would try to change gears my nobe would stay on park but the nobe would be turning! I would have to turn my car off and attempt to turn it back on then it would work. Now my brake is hard and my nobe will not turn my car stayed on neutral and now won't even turn on. Also before that the brakes system alert would go off from time to time. Other times my car would turn off out of nowhere. Overall my experience with this car has been bad.

There's been an issue with my electrical systems for about the last two years. It's been giving a couple of signals of what's wrong with the vehicle but there hasn't been anything related to that issue( airbag service needed, steering sensor) and it has been draining my battery down and my battery is not even a year old. It had to be replaced last year because of that, luckily it was under warranty. But I've heard of these issues from the past that it's a possible recall.

Twice in one week my car stalled and quite once while driving on a main road with mild/moderate traffic. The second time was while stationary in a parking lot attempting to put my car in reverse. The service engine light will pop on and off periodically and the service parking break light and the transmission light will come on. This has happened several times before during the first recall for the electrical system. The car will stall and I have to turn it off to put it in park. It doesn't happen every time I crank the car, but often enough for my concern.

This vehicle when I purchased it has been having multiple problems. The transmission has been slipping into neutral while I am driving at least twice a week. I have to pull over cut the vehicle off and re start it. Also there's always issues while I try and start the vehicle. I have taken it to five different mechanics to fix the problem. New alternator, new battery, five different diagnostics made. The extended warranty mentions that I need to bring it to the dealer. Which I have twice. They re set the software which did not fix the problem. It still slips into neutral. Cottman transmission did a diagnostic that I paid for out of pocket. They informed me that this problem and the codes that came up are manufacturing issues. Associated with bad electrical wiring as well as a bad set up for the transmission. Also the same model make and year for this vehicle there was a re call for the same exact problem and code. The extended warranty company covers these problems but told me to bring it to Chrysler to fix. Chrysler has checked my vehicle twice and re set the system for the light to come off. Of coarse the problem was not resolved. Now everyone is still pointing the fingers at each other. This has been going on for over a year. My factory warranty should fix it under the power train warranty also silverrock should fix it under my extended warranty contract. There has been no resolution. I have to consistently take off work to maintainance this car. Please help.
