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.

While the vehicle is in motion after a certain distance the vehicle transmission switches gears from drive to parking to when coming to a complete stop the vehicle doesnt let any gears to be shifting being stuck in the parking gear computer then says "service transmission" and "service parking break" as well as "switch to parking then select desired gear" to which no matter what gear its shifting to it says "select parking gear then desired gear". no matter what the vehicle stays like that until eventually it will move but until it repeats the same thing again after moving again at a certain distance. This has happened to me multiple times I a residential street, and a store parking lot.
The car shift to neutral in the middle of the road while driving and slows down. The light comes on in states that service transmission service brake system service parking brake. When you put the db scanner on it it says that a wheel sensor is the only problem. When a new wheel sensors put on there the same problem recurrs.
I was driving around a curve going 15 mph and my car just stalled out on me. I tried to restart my car and it wouldn't, just stuck in the middle of the road. I tried to start the car and unable to do so. After several attempts I was able to start the vehicle and get back home. I tried to drive my car a couple of days later and thr car stalled on my and the stop light and then again at the street light. Thank god I didn't have my kids in the car. This is really unsafe and needs to be resolved.
May 5, 2020. I went to start my car & it says the engine is too hot to start. Strange. The next day it says the same thing so I call a tow truck to take it to pep boys. The car was stuck in neutral and the emergency brake wouldn't release so they were unable to tow it. They give me a jump start & I take it to pep boys. They test the battery & showed it was just fine. I seemed to have no problems soon after leaving. Later that night, I went out to check on it just to make sure it was working. Once again it wouldn't start. Then I noticed the dashboard menu had a black screen & wouldn't turn on. I kept trying to turn the car off & give it a few minutes before turning it back on. Then the air conditioner stopped working correctly once I turned it on. The temperature inside the car was 100 degrees I thought this was causing a problem for the engine so I tried to turn it off. It kept blowing onto the windshield & wouldn't shut off until I turned the car off. I tried to start the car & the battery wouldn't crank. It just was stuck on run without the engine running. So I was officially stranded at home, but I'm glad it happened at home instead of somewhere else. I don't have aaa so I wasn't sure how I would get my car back to the dealership which is an hour from me. Thankfully a relative came through & helped. But when I initially went to pick up the car on 5/13, once again it didn't start. So they kept it for a few more days to see what was the problem. It was an electrical problem like I thought. I now have the car today & so far all is good. However I am upset no one told me this car had 8 recalls. Before selling it to me & I'm a new driver! this has been a major inconvenience & I fear this will happen again. I'd like to have it recalled & replace this with a new vehicle completely. I can't attach these files but I have videos as evidence I will gladly email if needed.
On multiple occasions since I purchased my vehicle in 1/2018 I've experienced issues. When putting the vehicle in drive it wants to stall as soon as I press the gas and putters along until it gets enough energy and when trying to gain speed the vehicle doesn't have enough juice to go such as getting on the highway, I normally have to drive in the medium to get enough speed to move into the traffic otherwise I'm bound to get rear ended. The slightest bump in the road causes my airbag light and notification to come on. While pulling away from stop signs and traffic lights the vehicle turns off and takes about 5-10 minutes to start back up, unable to move steering wheel to move vehicle out of traffic. Lights on the inside ( dash, radio) dim extremely low during daylight unable to see anything. I've left my vehicle with a Chrysler dealership for 2 weeks to get a diagnostic and they couldn't replicate or find anything wrong and still charged me. When the problems persisted and were more noticeable and more often they charged me again with no results. Now the check engine light is on and vehicle just staggers instead of gaining speed.
Transmission pops up on screen drivin it pop up I pulled over the whole car jerk I put in park it drove again no problem then it happen before I pulled in yard
As I am driving down the road the vehicle will completely stall out. The first time it just seemed to have had a dead battery. I got a jump it was fine. After that the transmission died so I had to stop the car turn it back on and my check engine light remained on but it drove fine. Three days later, it dies again while driving. Both times it had died while being driven electronically were on 55mph roads. The time my transmission died it was right down the road from my house so I wasn't going too fast.
My car will lose power as I am driving. I have to stop and shut it off then restart the car and it drives fine. Also valve cover gasket leaking oil. The shop guys said he use to work for Chrysler and this is a very common issue in Chrysler 200 & 300. Also a few other Chrysler vehicles. If this is a problem it should be fixed and not continue to use the same parts
While driving car would warn me to put in park and start car again. Car automatic shut it's self off in the middle of driving down a main road (busy road)
The other day I just driving down a hill and my car just shut off, which was very scary, I push the start button a few times and it starts and drives fine, til today I'm taking my kids to school and it shuts down in the middle of traffic, and I had til sit for a couple cause it wouldn't start, finally after pushing the start button it started and then a few hours later I stop at the store and the car shuts down once again as I'm parking my car. This is a server hazardous driving this car
My 2015 Chrysler 200 is saying it can't detect the fob. The fob is in the car with me. Now I have to start my car by putting the fob at the vent near the steer column. The brakes was hard and would not release when I push start to start the car.
Two times in the last week my car has stalled while I was driving. The first time I was turning onto a busy street and was stuck in the middle and the second time I was on railroad tracks. No lights came on to indicate a problem before it shut off. It took multiple tries before the car turned back on. No codes come up when checking for a problem so mechanics have told me there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.
The car be stalling and if I don't let it warm up and I take off it will cut off and I will have to get a jump because it kills battery. The car now needs a jump every time you cut it off and all of a sudden now the car want go in no gear. The dashboard has service transmission and brake system.
Lots of electrical issues. Certain days will not 'detect' key fob. Car will stall and turn off while driving. Stalled on me while on entrance ramp to highway. Lots of electrical issues and throttle system. Will completely shut my car off and ask for 'anti theft pin'. (I bought used from dealership but never given a pin). I will have to turn the car off, get out of the vehicle, lock it, unlock it and restart to get the anti theft code
The car starts fine, but will die when idling or at a decline in speed. Will shut off have you place the car back in park to try and restart. Sometime it will start after 5 seconds after shut off and others will take a few minutes. Its a hard restart when it does start, and drives rough for the first 5 miles or so, and returns to driving fine. My car has done this mulitple times at red lights and while turning onto a exit ramp durning the deceleration onto a highway.
Active grill shutter error code. Ags shutters are easily broken, these shutters are not meant to withstand Ohio winters. A small amount of ice build up caused the shutters to brake and/or got stuck closed. I've had to remove the ags completley to discover every shutter was broke. Without the ags working correctly the check engine light is on 100% of the time and the automatic car starter is canceled out. It was a normal winter day when I discovered the problem. My car was stationary and the driveway.
