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 car has a problem with cutting off with out proper light warnings. It shuts off while in motion, which is very dangerous. I have taking it to be seen but no one can find a problem with it. I have searched online and found people owning these types of cars are having the same issue. It is not the battery starter or anything of that nature so its something else. It happens while in motion on city streets and most deffinately while making turns.

Engine tends to stall out when making sharp right turns. Has happened 2 times now, luckily I was near a vacant parking lot to stop the vehicle and restart. Once stopped and in park, engine hesitates to start then drives as if nothing has happened. No engine codes, warning lights, or auras to give sight to a potential problem.

Within 10 minutes of leaving my house the dash lights started flashing saying "engine temp high" and then "service electronic throttle control" but the bars that light up to show the engine temp were gone. Before the warnings came on the car showed 2 bars in the temp panel (fully heated up is normally 4 bars). I pulled over and shut the car off for 15 minutes and nothing came on when I started it. The engine light came on a few days ago and when it was read on the computer it said something about the temperature. I've checked online forums and found at least 30 other cars, same year make and model, having the same problem.

My car recently just started to just turn off while I was driving. I just bought a new battery at autozone with a 2 year warranty and I'm sure the battery isn't the issue. In 2016 I had to have the engine replaced at my own cost because they said there was an issue with the engine. I was so angry because I had just leased the car. I don't know why my car just turns off. I do the oil changes every 4 montha

The light to get airbag serviced keeps coming on and going off. It has started stalling randomly while driving or coming to a stop. Noticed that it didn't do it as bad once car was warmed up, but then it dropped power while we were in traffic on a bridge overpass and we had to limp it home. Looked up the warning light meanings and it said we should not drive it as it will either lose power without warning and have to be limped or it will accelerate and we would have no way to stop it. So I have a car that cannot be driven and I had seen that there were recalls for similar problems however, when I put my VIN number in, it said there were no unrepaired recalls for this VIN number. Consumer's husband and son-in-law repaired the vehicle.

I got my car back in may of 2018 and a couple months after getting it I ended up needing to get a new battery I understand that batteries are normal wear and tear for any vehicle but I just recently had to get another new battery on Jan 2, 2020 I was told that most 'new' batteries last about 3-5 years so I find it pretty odd that I've only had my car for a year and it has had two brand new batteries.

My car frequently shuts off while driving and it'll stall. Most of the time it starts back up and runs like nothing happens with no lights when I got it checked it was no found issue with the vehicle regarding the engine, power train etc. It's in good condition and well maintained. I'm not sure of the issue I did research that other vehicles have been recalled due to this issue and when I looked at the complaints it's exactly what my car does

I purchased this car brand new and I've had the same problem to the current date. The car engine will shut off while I am driving. I took it back to the dealer and they said it was a software problem and they updated the software. The car worked fine for a while and then started to have the same problem. I took the car back and the dealership said there was no problem found with the car. Now the car is not under warranty and I'm stuck with this problem and a payment for this death trap. This past week the car has stalled multiple times. It will shut off and the "D" light will blink. I put the car in park, shut it off, and then try to restart. It struggles to restart, and then will finally start. This happened while I was making a left turn and left my family and I coasting in front of oncoming traffic. I have made a right hand turn and the car engine shut off causing the car behind me to sla. On brakes and drive up on the sidewalk. This issue is very dangerous. My car is not listed under a recall, but it is having the same issue as Chrysler 200's that are being recalled. Trading this car will only set up another buyer because this issue is not detectable. No check engine light or any other caution light comes on.

When stopped or slowing down from barnes road that crosses powers one of the busy roads in Colorado springs, the car shoots forward real fast almost shooting me into on coming traffic. This has happened several times now, but my foot is on the break.. then when you let your foot off the break it wont move like it has slipped out of gear, I push the gas pedal a couple of times and then it goes into gear. At times when you put it in reverse all of a sudden the E break engages and it jolts you to a dead stop, I have to push the button a couple of times for it to release. I'm starting to wish I never bought this car,

All kinds of things Chrysler 200. My car has 31000 miles and there's alot of things wrong with it. If it doesn't heat up for 15 to 20 min the car will sputter and due every time I slow down, sometimes it goes into limp mode. Also sometimes it does shift right and the oil pressure light comes on and off when I slow down to go around corners and it gets to sputter and due out. I've had a couple occasions that I have been driving 35 to 40 mph and the car just dies on the road while driving.
