CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Chrysler 200 carries the torch of "never buy the 1st year of a new vehicle generation" with pride. Read more »
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 trying to stall out while driving and in sitting position.always happens right after I re-fuel. It starts jerking, sometimes it is a slight jerk but today it jerked very hard that it really scared me. Also when starting the vehicle it struggles to start up. It will continue to not drive right for a little bit of time and then it goes back to driving fine until I re-fuel again. It started about a month ago and has never stopped since then. I have looked up recalls for this issue and it shows I don't have one. This really needs to be checked out and become a recall
Drove it in the snow for the first time and every light came one the dash like the parking brake brake light service transmission service parking brake ABS stability control check engine light
My car is sometimes trying to stall out on the highway and rural roads, it looses a good bit of its power. It also makes jerking movements when my foot is steady holding the gas at an even level. Kinda like it would if you were tapping the gas and letting off the gas very quickly.
Leaving for work this morning and vehicle chute off as making a right turn. Upon arriving to work the engine shut in the middle of an intersection. Sounded like a weak turn over but battery is fine and alternator is ok as well and this poses a safety issue this has happened before.

I purchaesd a 2015 Chrysler 200 with low miles on it. I have had it for a couple months and it has started shutting off while I am driving (in motion). This is very concerning as I live in a state where we have snowy icy conditions. Most importantly a baby. It has happened a couple of times but like I said I have only had it a couple months. A couple times too many.

Also, the "throttle body electronic module service required" indicator flashed on and off. The failure recurred. The contact also stated that the vehicle sometimes hesitated to accelerate without warning.

A couple of weeks ago my temperature gauge was going up oddly fast and then I would get to alerts simultaneously 'engine temperature hot' and 'service elec. Throttle control' I turn off the car for a few minutes and the gauge would go down. I'm not sure how concerned I should be or if this is a common error.
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.

12/20/18 problems with electrical connectors, my engine stall, gearshift not going into neutral, intermittent power failure to certain electrical components. Not starting or moving
On 9/16/18, vehicle died and would not start. After several attempts, it started, then while driving down the road, vehicle lost all electrical power and came to a stop in the middle of traffic. Car was towed to dealer where they trouble shooted for several days trying to reproduce the electrical power failure. They found a services bulletin about electrical connection and replaced wiring harness. Over the next several months I noticed my vehicle felt like the transmission was slipping. As time went on, I realized it wasn't a slipping, but a hard shift. The vehicle would also loose power upon acceleration to merge into traffic or changing lanes. This was very scary, but at times it seemed as if the vehicle might lose complete power and die while in heavy highway speed traffic. On 10/11/2018 while having my vehicle oil changed, I asked the technician to drive the vehicle to confirm what I was feeling with the transmission. The technician agreed that the transmission was in fact not shifting or functioning properly. I obtained a quote to have the transmission serviced. The technician advised have the transmission flushed/serviced might help, but often times flushing can cause symptoms to worsen. I opted to not have the transmission flushed/serviced at that time and planned to take my vehicle into the dealer after the holidays. It is now the the 3rd week in December and just this week the hard shifting and loss of power when the vehicle downshifts to merge into highway speed traffic has worsened significantly. I phoned the Chrysler dealer today and spoke with my service advisor to schedule an appt. I am to call back on Wednesday 12/26 to reserve a courtesy vehicle and schedule appt. To drop my vehicle off on 12/27/2018

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.
