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.

Radio monitors blacked out and internally shorted.1200 dollars to be repaired there's no reason that I could see why the computer monitor that controls my air menu, heat, radio and other things would internally go out

Vehicle hasstarted stalling if I do not let it run for 10 minutes prior to driving. I have had the alternator, starter, and battry checked. Everyone says they are fine. After my battery died from the cold and my electronic transmission light came on I have had nothing but problems and see everyone else has as well. I want a resolution immediately ass it happens mostly as I am accelerating to turn corners or go at lights which is extremely dangerous.

My car has started to stall recently. It is usually when coming to a stop or decelerating although it is also while in complete motion but coasting. There is no warning sound, lights or indication. One must find a way to get off the road (if possible). The car does not re-start immediately. The only light on during this time is the battery light. However, the radio is still playing and the 'start' button shows the car is in the 'run' position. Power steering is also lost during this time. It is very dangerous!

Friday morning on February 28th 2020 I was driving my Chrysler 200 to work. I was on a busy street that navigates through downtown where I work at. The speed limit is 35mph. As I was continuing to drive down the road my car shut off mid drive. I lost control of my power steering as well as my breaks. A car that was driving behind me almost rear ended me due to the lack of warning for the abrupt stop. This was a very terrifying experience, going from 35 mph to 0 mph, with no control of the wheel or breaks, I couldn't do anything but let the car coast and wave my hands out the drivers window to signal cars behind me to slow down and not hit me. My car came to a complete stop in the middle of an intersection, where I blocked busy traffic for over 45 minutes waiting on the tow truck I had to call. The car wouldn't start back up when I tried multiple times to restart it as the car was stuck in neutral with blinking lights appearing on the dashboard telling me to put the car in park, which I couldn't because the gears locked up and wouldn't move. As a consumer this is very disappointing and most importantly it's unsafe. I was 1 hour late to work and I travel with my children in this car. I loved my Chrysler and I'm very sad that I now have to look for a different car since I no longer feel safe driving this Chrysler 200, things like this makes the vehicle seem very unreliable and unsafe.

As I am driving down the road the vehicle will completely stall out. The first time it just seemed to have had a dead battery. I got a jump it was fine. After that the transmission died so I had to stop the car turn it back on and my check engine light remained on but it drove fine. Three days later, it dies again while driving. Both times it had died while being driven electronically were on 55mph roads. The time my transmission died it was right down the road from my house so I wasn't going too fast.

During the past 2 months the car started turning off just minutes after we drove it off the parking lot. At night the car would be left overnight parked like any other regular car. Then me and my spouse would warm up the car before we would head to work and then we would drive off. The car would warm up after we turned it on and it would work good, it would not die. Until we actually changed gears and turned to drive it off the parking lot we would drive off a few streets and it would completely die in the middle of the streets atleast a F3 or 4 days out of the 7 day week. We changed the battery about 4 months ago and we went back to autozone but they tested the battery and said it was 100% charged so the issue wasn't the battery. We went to the dealer but they were trying to charge us over 1,000 because of a vacuum change in the system that has nothing to do with the car dying in the middle of the street. It's been 2 months already and I don't know what to do. Usually it shuts off when we decelerate the car not accelerate

The car will switch into neutral without notice while driving or just a few minutes ago it stalled out on the interstate without notice just driving down the road and all of a sudden the car engine was off and its telling me to put the car in park to start it. I went to start the vehicle and it just rapidly shutters and tries to start for about a minute then stops and dings at me.

I bought a car at an auction that has two outstanding recalls. I went to two different dealerships and both wanted me to pay out of pocket. After complaining to report them one dealer pretended to do the repair but the problem still exists.obviously the recalls were never done and since they put on report they were done they will not help me. The car will lose power while I am driving causing me to stall.. all I want is my car to be fixed properly so I do not have to worry about crashing and injuring myself or god forbid die.

My car has been having electronic problems. I tried to start it at my house and it wouldn't start. After jumping it, it started but it wouldn't shift into any gear the engine light came on as well as the parking brake, traction control, and performance shifting unavailable. I unhooked the battery in hopes it would help something then when I restarted it it's stuck in neutral and won't shift into park.

While driving home from work my 2015 Chrysler 200 abruptly loses all power in the middle of a busy road. The battery has been test and was fully charged, the alternator is completely fine. Also when the car shut off the hazards wouldn't even work..and leaves me to believe if I were to have gotten into an accident that day the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I am honestly terrified to get back into that car for safety reasons..this needs to be fixed. One week after buying the car the low beams work whenever they want to. Too many problems!!

The car stalls and shuts down with no warning at all. Has been in the shop for the last 3 weeks. It was bought used from drivetime in duluth Georgia. I was told by national tire and battery that they were not going to touch when I took it there for repair, they recommend that I take it to a Chrysler dealer, at that time it would randomly stall but would start back up so I went to work the next day and they car stalled again and got really sluggish I was able to make over to Chrysler dealership in buford Georgia. They said it needed a tire sensor after they put the tire sensor on it stalled out on them again so they then said it needed a ABS modular once they installed the ABS modular took it for a test drive and it stalled on them again then they said they found some loose wires near the transmission the fixed and the car was running. I had the car for 2 days and it stalled out again. Drivetime then sent a tow truck over to take the car back to Chrysler in buford now they are saying the car needs a wiring harness at this point to me the car is unsafe and not reliable at all. I pick my grandkids up daily and I can not afford to have them in the back seat and the cars stalls and we get hit. Obviously they don't know what wrong and they are speculating. I have only had this car 4 month on February 12th 2020 and it's been in the shop for the last 3 weeks and Chrysler can't even repair a Chrysler... this is a huge problem. Drivetime is paying for everything so far except our funerals god forbid something awful should happen. This all happened on highway 78 in snellville Georgia and they car was in motion when it stalled out. This is unsafe, we could have been rammed the car just shuts down in the middle of accelerating, slowing down for a turn, going downhill, in the intersection it has shut down but that time it started right back

My car has issues with stalling. It happens at least 3 times a day and its when I go to slow down at a stop light, stop sign or make a turn. It slows down then looses power. It eventually starts back up but this happens without warning and also in the moddle of traffic.. hate ro say but does somebody have ro loose there life before something is done about this issue. I've come across this issue with 1 million cars of this make and model. I checked to see if there was a recall for my car but of there wasnt.. im stuck what do I do"?"

So it all started when my car radio shorted out and wasn't working and my odometer started flashing. After about a week of driving with the radio unplugged, the car battery starts draining itself to a dead battery. Now the car sits and doesn't hold a charge for more than 1 hour. My dash lights up on its own when the key fobs are not in or near the car. I've changed the battery's to the key fobs and when I attempt to start the car it states that the key fob is not detected.
