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.

We traveled two hours away for an event. When we were leaving the park the car stalled. No steering, no brakes, and no dash lights. We almost side swiped a camper before the car finally stopped. Another time driving down a busy highway the cat just dies. Etc light comes on. We take the car ti the dealer and they tell us its because the oil was low. I dont understand how the oil being low is going to stall out the car, there was no indication of oil issues. No lights were on in the dash. This car is unsafe.

The airbag service light came on I took it in to where I bought it and they said they had to reset it. It went off and 2 days later it came back on and never went off.. now it stays on. I was told there is no recall for my car. The transmission jolts when going from 2nd into 3rdwhile driving also. And my middle console the controls air and sound works when it feels like it.
I was driving to work I try to change my music and try to use my temperature control panel the screen was frozen not doing anything I was not even able to hang up a phone call from the screen, after work my car was completely out of power did not turn on at all, it has a recall S55 this is the second time that this exact thing happen to me, first time they fix it with no problem, no this time they are saying that it is probably the recall and something else, I don't want to pay more to fix it its already 4 times having trouble with this car I'm tired of it my monthly payment is big and now "something else" that the warranty don't cover?? I thing there is something wrong with the dealership, if they see that you don't have warranty anymore they try to get more money from the customer.
I purchased the vehicle froma local certified dealer in the end of April 2017 in may I had to have it towed to there location becasue the vehicle wouldnt turn on or respond they claimed it was the battery but ever since then the car been shifting weird the told me it need to be taken to a Chrysler dealership. Just last week (July 4th weekend) I was driving to a friends house when the car wouldnt go past 35mph as soon as I stoped the vehicle stalled. Itried to turn it on but it wont and it kept the starter even tho I let off the start button. I was scared to think it may cause a fire. 2 days after that I got the sama situation but this time the display would not work and the car stalled again resulting me to apply the hazards and try to avoid to get hit by vehicles. I have a current vedeo that show what it was doing
My car is having an intermittent loss of power to electrical components could cause a vehicle to stall without warning. This has happened on several occasions, whereby my vehicle was on the road and simply loss power.
A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. My husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. I called Chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the Chrysler dealership. After 3 days in the service dept I was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. Since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. Luckily this happened as I was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when I was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. I'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time I may not be as lucky. I leased the car brand new in Aug. 2014, the lease ends Aug. 2017.
