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.

The car keeps stalling whenever I try to turn the car on. I've checked the battery the alternator and starter and they were all good. Also the airbag light indicator keeps turning on and off and the check engine light spontaneously turns on and turns off. Also when going down hill with foot on break the RPM accelerators, also one headlight keeps going out but turns back
Takaya recall- my car has been shutting off when I come to a stop and it takes 10 to 15 minutes for it to cut back on this has been going on and off for the past year. I took the car to a local Chrysler dealership and they fixed the problem for a few months then it started back shutting off again it's to a point we're im spending to much money on trying to get the car fixed and it doesn't last because the problem keeps reoccurring
A couple months after I purchased my Chrysler 200 I began to have many problems with it such as electrical problems and speed control problems. The main ' in the Chrysler wou a couple months after I purchased my Chrysler 200 I began to have many problems with it such as electrical problems and speed control problems. The main dash in the Chrysler will constantly flashing all of its lights and tell me that my parking brake needs serviced and that my transmission needs serviced. I have gone into the dealership where I purchased the car and have been told that nothing is wrong with the car it just needs a software update but that never solves any of my problems. The car tries to stall out every day in the middle of driving and while it's trying to stall out tends to jump and accelerate on its own. On June 6, 2018 my Chrysler 200 was involved in a collision. This collision took place in akron Ohio do to the car jumping, accelerating and eventually stalling out and locking up the car, so I was unable to break or steer. The car ended up rear ending another vehicle due to myself not being able to control the locked up car. I have been into the dealership that I bought the car from multiple times urging them to fix the problem. And every time I go in they say that there is not a problem it just needs a software update. I have never gotten proper maintenance that needs done on this ca I have been into the dealership that I bought the car from multiple times urging them to fix the problem. And every time I go in they see that there is not a problem it just needs a software update. None of the software update have fixed any problem that I have had with this car. And because of that my car was in an accident because of a problem with Chrysler that I had no control over.
While driving the vehicle the dashboard/instrument cluster keeps on flashing in and out, staying off for at lease 5 seconds at a time. At night the headlights also flicker on and off. The car also tends to pick up speed while braking. Lets talk about the brakes, the brakes absolutely suck, they don't hold properly at all. While coming to a stop I often have to sink my foot into the peddle and give myself extra feet to stop.

While driving the car randomly shots off. The other day my wife was driving it in the freeway and she almost got into an accident. We did took the car to the dealer and we leave the car there for about two days and they couldn't find anything. After that the car was working just fine but two days ago it happen again while taking my daughter to day care. I just want to know if there are any recalls on the enginen, transsmision or something. Thank yok

I have a Chrysler 200C AWD 2015 that is continually sabotaged/refusal to fix by various Chrysler dealers since complaining about a warranty fix issue early on. Ever since its been a series a mishaps since going to the dealer. Gator Chrysler of melbourne, fl and bonafice heirs Chrysler of merritt island, fl both aggressively try to get me to trade the vehicle in instead of fixing it. Repeatedly they state they are not hearing the issues that are not easy to fix, ie transmission hangup between 4th and 5th gear. The car is fixed for various issues that always require me to bring it back. I would like someone from your Agency to pull all records relating from Chrysler, and both of the aforementioned dealers. The phone records and call logs are crucial to the investigation. Also I opened arbitration that was ignored and I feel the car is a lemon. Chrysler at this point refuses to fix the car to standards. Each time they say and list on the paperwork that they will be doing a 16 multipoint inspection. Repeatedly this is stated to be done, but the timeline of fixes do not align. I'm not smart enough and need an engineer from Chrysler to physically come to a local location to inspect the vehicle. Scott pelley and secret shoppers should be done mirroring this scenerio as hearsay is this is common practice given the number of elderly in this area. I can't formally make this accusation, but from missing tires, mysterious mishaps and then being out the vehicle, stood up for rentals, etc. The main point now is I was told the coolant would be checked standard in a multipoint inspection, but it was not because when I left bonafice heirs Chrysler it immediately overheated. They are breaking the car to get back at me and make me look noncredible in the disorganization. I just know its all fishy and is beyond me at this point to audit, but needs to be done for safety.
Muiltple problems with the engine. It's been replaced &I I'm still having a problem with it.. this is the second time have to pay a deductible due to the car randomly shutting off. Shifting into N.. the first time they said it was an internal engine leak:.. then within a few months I started having the same issue. I've had the car for a years & I haven't been able to move it in 3 months. The car keeps having problems after problem and it's still under the warranty.. but I'm paying the payments on a car I can't use for no other reason but factory problems
Vehicle keeps overheating and shutting off by itself while in motion on the highway. First I was told it was the thermostat malfunctioning and now a converter. The car stalls and shuts off with the inability of restarting. Started happening four mths ago.
Immediately after recall work was done I experience issues. When I try to start my car (push to start requires you to push the break and push the button) break peddle won't depress, service transmission lights comes on. I call a tow truck and get it dropped off at the closet dealership. I arrive behind the tow truck and watch it be dropped off explain to service adviser whats going on and I just had recall work done and that is when the issues started. Immediately without even looking at my car or knowing what car is mine she says no its not related to the recall. She is not a technician and doesn't actually know the cause yet. They call later in the day and tell me the body control module has shorted out and needs to be replaced. It is no longer communicating with the tcm(the tcm was updated during recall work but the BCM was not.) the two can longer communicate because they are now basically speaking a different language. Of course I am told not related to recall. The next day I get a call saying my battery that was previously working great can no longer pass a test. Someone was trying to crank and start my car( the car that went in for a break peddle that would not depress and would not start) I now need to pay for a new battery and there is an installation fee to replace the battery. Next day my cars steering wheel controls no longer work and something else has shorted out. My rental car not only has trash in the back seat but a roach that crawls out from in between the seats. I get a call that the tech who worked on my car finished at closing time so to bring back the rental next day! I'm thinking my car wont have any more issues, I'm wrong!! the menu on my car lets you view the tire pressure and temperatures of the vehicle. All of a sudden the oil temp doesn't display. The setting for my doors to be unlocked with the hand sensor on driver door wont work!
Parking brake sensor is faulty. Dashboard says parking brake is on. However I reset the park and light on dash should go off. Doesn't. seat belts alarm stays on when seat belts are all clicked closed. Faulty. Air bag for passenger seat always says broken & not working, therefore if in a accident I can sue Chrysler for injuries because air bag won't deploy. Transmission shifting is jerky and not smooth. Faulty needs to be recalled for these 4 items.
The radio screen freezes all the time. The radio goes in and out all the time. This past winter, I could not use my heat for a long period of time before the lights would start flashing about the throttle, it is very scary when driving and all of a sudden the dash board starts flashing.
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 that has been having some issue with the dash lights flickering and now the lights are going completely out. I thought the instrument panel was the only feature affected until today on my way to work the headlights completely went out as well creating a very bad situation on the highway. I was unable to see while driving down the road for a brief period of time. I just check it for recalls but did not find my vehicle however there are other earlier models that appear to be having a similar issue that were covered by recall is there any way that a recall may be arriving on this vehicle? I have also noticed that the service air bag light came on shortly before all of this started as well as a code was tripped for faulty coolant sensor as well. All maintenance and upkeep has been done on this vehicle including tires pressure sensor replaced and routine oil change as well.
