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 hasstarted stalling if I do not let it run for 10 minutes prior to driving. I have had the alternator, starter, and battry checked. Everyone says they are fine. After my battery died from the cold and my electronic transmission light came on I have had nothing but problems and see everyone else has as well. I want a resolution immediately ass it happens mostly as I am accelerating to turn corners or go at lights which is extremely dangerous.

Friday morning on February 28th 2020 I was driving my Chrysler 200 to work. I was on a busy street that navigates through downtown where I work at. The speed limit is 35mph. As I was continuing to drive down the road my car shut off mid drive. I lost control of my power steering as well as my breaks. A car that was driving behind me almost rear ended me due to the lack of warning for the abrupt stop. This was a very terrifying experience, going from 35 mph to 0 mph, with no control of the wheel or breaks, I couldn't do anything but let the car coast and wave my hands out the drivers window to signal cars behind me to slow down and not hit me. My car came to a complete stop in the middle of an intersection, where I blocked busy traffic for over 45 minutes waiting on the tow truck I had to call. The car wouldn't start back up when I tried multiple times to restart it as the car was stuck in neutral with blinking lights appearing on the dashboard telling me to put the car in park, which I couldn't because the gears locked up and wouldn't move. As a consumer this is very disappointing and most importantly it's unsafe. I was 1 hour late to work and I travel with my children in this car. I loved my Chrysler and I'm very sad that I now have to look for a different car since I no longer feel safe driving this Chrysler 200, things like this makes the vehicle seem very unreliable and unsafe.

Vehicle shakes when idling, parked, stopped or when not in motion. Rpms drops below 1 when in park and this begins the vehicle to shake. Vehicle struggles to gain speed in which, it stays moderated then accelerates at once. As well as, at random times vehicle will jerk unexpectedly while in motion. All this has happened over a period of a year and just recently, service engine light has finally came on. I have had maintenance done on my end to help fix the issues and nothing can be resolved.

During the past 2 months the car started turning off just minutes after we drove it off the parking lot. At night the car would be left overnight parked like any other regular car. Then me and my spouse would warm up the car before we would head to work and then we would drive off. The car would warm up after we turned it on and it would work good, it would not die. Until we actually changed gears and turned to drive it off the parking lot we would drive off a few streets and it would completely die in the middle of the streets atleast a F3 or 4 days out of the 7 day week. We changed the battery about 4 months ago and we went back to autozone but they tested the battery and said it was 100% charged so the issue wasn't the battery. We went to the dealer but they were trying to charge us over 1,000 because of a vacuum change in the system that has nothing to do with the car dying in the middle of the street. It's been 2 months already and I don't know what to do. Usually it shuts off when we decelerate the car not accelerate

I bought a car at an auction that has two outstanding recalls. I went to two different dealerships and both wanted me to pay out of pocket. After complaining to report them one dealer pretended to do the repair but the problem still exists.obviously the recalls were never done and since they put on report they were done they will not help me. The car will lose power while I am driving causing me to stall.. all I want is my car to be fixed properly so I do not have to worry about crashing and injuring myself or god forbid die.

The car stalls and shuts down with no warning at all. Has been in the shop for the last 3 weeks. It was bought used from drivetime in duluth Georgia. I was told by national tire and battery that they were not going to touch when I took it there for repair, they recommend that I take it to a Chrysler dealer, at that time it would randomly stall but would start back up so I went to work the next day and they car stalled again and got really sluggish I was able to make over to Chrysler dealership in buford Georgia. They said it needed a tire sensor after they put the tire sensor on it stalled out on them again so they then said it needed a ABS modular once they installed the ABS modular took it for a test drive and it stalled on them again then they said they found some loose wires near the transmission the fixed and the car was running. I had the car for 2 days and it stalled out again. Drivetime then sent a tow truck over to take the car back to Chrysler in buford now they are saying the car needs a wiring harness at this point to me the car is unsafe and not reliable at all. I pick my grandkids up daily and I can not afford to have them in the back seat and the cars stalls and we get hit. Obviously they don't know what wrong and they are speculating. I have only had this car 4 month on February 12th 2020 and it's been in the shop for the last 3 weeks and Chrysler can't even repair a Chrysler... this is a huge problem. Drivetime is paying for everything so far except our funerals god forbid something awful should happen. This all happened on highway 78 in snellville Georgia and they car was in motion when it stalled out. This is unsafe, we could have been rammed the car just shuts down in the middle of accelerating, slowing down for a turn, going downhill, in the intersection it has shut down but that time it started right back

The transmission is not going into gear when the knob is turned there are several complaints about this I was told there where no open recalls about this problem. I feel if the auto maker knows about this they should address my concern with or without a recall.

I bought a 2015 Chrysler 200C about 2years ago. A few days ago my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and had it checked and they said that my engine have a defect in it which caused the cylinder heads to malfunction. I was told this is common with the V6 engines in these vehicles. I was told that Chrysler put a extended warranty on 2011 models thru 2014. My 2015 although ithas the same engine didn't make the cut. Everyone I call say my warranty expired and there's nothing they can do now I'm stuck with a car that I'm paying for that's practically no good

My car frequently shuts off while driving and it'll stall. Most of the time it starts back up and runs like nothing happens with no lights when I got it checked it was no found issue with the vehicle regarding the engine, power train etc. It's in good condition and well maintained. I'm not sure of the issue I did research that other vehicles have been recalled due to this issue and when I looked at the complaints it's exactly what my car does
