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.

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.
The first incident of the car stalling occurred in a parking lot on 8/18/18, it just shut off while still in gear. I put it in park and restarted it and I was able to continue driving. Later that same day, I was driving home, thankfully on a quiet road. It started to sputter and shut off again while still in gear. Somehow I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road. This time, I could not get it restarted, so I called my roadside assistance who towed the car to the place I purchased it. They changed the spark plugs and said they were oxidized and were probably the cause. I picked up the car on 8/21/18 and it drove ok. The next day, I was driving home and as I turned the corner onto a busier road, it stalled again while still in gear. I could not get it to restart at all. This was quite scary even though I was over as far to the right side of the road as I could be with my hazard lights on. I called roadside assistance again and I received a text that they would be there in less than 45 minutes, and then another stating they would be there in less than 20 minutes. The sheriff that showed up said she wasn't waiting around for 75 minutes and forced me to have my car towed by the county tow company as she said it would be faster. My tow company showed up less than 2 minutes after theirs did, but I was told too bad and they took my car to impound. I had to come up with almost $300 to get my car out and then I called my roadside and they switched me over to Chrysler roadside who was able to tow the car to the nearest Chrysler dealer, where it now sits. I told them I am afraid to drive this car now and I want it fixed. I am thinking it is this is the electrical system recall R24
The passenger airbag light is on and will not turn off this is the second time I am filing a complaint. I have even wrote to Jeep motors and no response. I notice that my radio turns off on it's own completely. The screen goes black and reboost itself.
Driving down highway and car shut off. The dash lights went out but control lights stayed on. Took 3 attempts to start again. 2nd time this has happened.
On highway at dusk, lost both headlights at same time. Then pulled over - no lights in car. Two months later -- puling out of driveway of home -- backup mirror went blank and car accelerated on its own.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. While driving various speeds, the vehicle jolted and stalled. The contact also stated that the vehicle would independently shift into park and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to jacksonville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (9600 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, fl) where it was diagnosed that the air bag harness and the multi-air valve were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was at the dealer being repaired. The contact stated that the oil sensor and power distribution center were previously repaired at other unknown dealers due to the vehicle stalling, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
It has been shutting off during driving, and also reads codes of gas cap, but I thinks a sensor and also transmission sensors, does not want to start, says key fob not detected, and wipers do not go fast at all
I was in the middle of driving when my car without warning began to shutdown. And since I haven't been able to start up the car. The battery completely lost life in which I don't understand because the car was in very good shape.the miles on the car is approximately 67,500 it was 56,100 when I purchased it.
"takata recall" my 2015 Chrysler 200 started displaying service air bags, and then the service engine light came on after that it shut off twice and now it won't crank up. But the dash lights stay on and the radio playing, so I had to disconnect the battery. Each time the car shut off, I was driving and I was on a major road in the city doing the time period people is getting off work. The car is parked in my yard and will not crank, I believe it is a electrical probably.
Airbag warning continues to come & on was on when I first the car. Electrical power for windows dim lighting and oil lift isn't firing correctly. All of this happens while thevehicle is in motion.
Air bag light turns on randomly when I drive. More if someone or something is in the passenger seat. My radio also doesn't connect to usb for my phone nor connect to bluetooth at times. When I turn the car on 1/10 times the screen doesn't turn on.
Car engine stalls continuesly while driving on highway with no warning at all. Recall was placed on this car in 2015 for this issue supposedly as I read online. Now it is doing the same issue again
(1) I purchased my car in October 2016. My car cut off in the middle of a very busy city street intersection. I had to keep blowing my horn and keep hazard lights on. My two children were in the car with me! it has cut off a total of 3 times since I purchased it, less than 2 years ago. I took more than 3 minutes to start up again.(2)the car also jolts, while driving, a lot causing everyone in the car to push forward off of the seats.
A few months after purchase, airbag light and message states service airbag. Took it in for servicing, stated sensor was bad and they would have to order sensor.($100W/warranty). The airbag light has not come on for months.latelt it's been coming on pretty regular. I suspect a wiring issue as well. When vehicle is parked for awhile the light goes out like it should, only to come back on when it wants to.
Bought my car 3 months ago and now it wont start, had the battery replaced and still did not work, researched online and did see that this has been an ongoing issue with the model.
