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 stopped or slowing down from barnes road that crosses powers one of the busy roads in Colorado springs, the car shoots forward real fast almost shooting me into on coming traffic. This has happened several times now, but my foot is on the break.. then when you let your foot off the break it wont move like it has slipped out of gear, I push the gas pedal a couple of times and then it goes into gear. At times when you put it in reverse all of a sudden the E break engages and it jolts you to a dead stop, I have to push the button a couple of times for it to release. I'm starting to wish I never bought this car,
All kinds of things Chrysler 200. My car has 31000 miles and there's alot of things wrong with it. If it doesn't heat up for 15 to 20 min the car will sputter and due every time I slow down, sometimes it goes into limp mode. Also sometimes it does shift right and the oil pressure light comes on and off when I slow down to go around corners and it gets to sputter and due out. I've had a couple occasions that I have been driving 35 to 40 mph and the car just dies on the road while driving.

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
I've only had my car for less than 2 months now and the car is not switching gears properly, the car also will not start sometimes the message displays that it is not in park and will not start for a while. On 11/22/2019 the car would not start and it also would not turn off, it was stuck in acc and on mode, it took about 3 hours to get the car to completely shut down. Also, while I'm driving when it actually moves it acts like it wants to cut off while driving on the streets.
Service air bag system notice comes on, as well with the vehicle driving groggy. Does not have proper throttle response, engine shudders and vibrates as well with stalling at a red light. All happens while driving and sitting stationary.
While driving my vehicle stalls out and gives me a message on the cluster to, "shift to park to start". when I stop the vehicle and shift to park I press the button to start and it hesitates and sometimes have to press 3 or 4 times before it starts. Then I press on the gas while in park and it is a very slow climb in the rpms. After a few attempts at pressing the gas it seems to be ok. I then shift into drive and it moves a few feet and does the same stalling out and error message on the cluster. This has happened several times while on the highway, city streets and sometimes turning. I am scared to drive this vehicle and seeing that there are recalls but none for my VIN # and alot of the descriptions are similar to what I am experiencing.
The headlights will cut out as im driving.. sometimes one side first then both.. or both St the same time.. as im driving the air bag light comes on and off on its own my TPMS light will come on and some days it won't show the psi in the tire on the dash
The vehicle turns off while driving. Has happened many times. Have to pull over and restart the engine. It has happened numerous times and has no earning or earnings on dashboard. It happened today driving home in the rain.
Changed battery in car it wouldn't go in but one gear N that was neutral had to take it to the shop N that doesn't make any since just changed the battery
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.
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.
After reaching 75,000 miles, my car started to stall and turn off by itself while driving. I performed an oil change, made sure all the maintenance was up to date, etc. It has a new battery less than a year old, new tires, etc. Eventually it stalled and shut off on its own while stopped and would not turn back on. Every time I try to turn it back on, it stalls and shuts off but the shifter lights blink repeatedly. I have a code that appeared on a mechanic's code reader which was U1504. He could not diagnose it. Chrysler would not look at it and wanted $125 just to do diagnostics. I just wanted to know if this was one of the recalled issues as I know they have been having engine and transmission issues.
When I'm driving the vehicle after a few feet of driving the vehicle my car begins to to shake then it turns off, while I'm on the street. A lot of lights begin to turn on then my car turns off again. When I try to turn it off the transmission locks into neutral and won't let me turn it off. At some point once the lights turn on my speed begins to slow down, from going at 75 on the freeway it slowly start to decrease and when I hit the gas pedal it takes a while to pick up the speed. It's been like that for about a month.
