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 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

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.

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.
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
My 2015 Chrysler 200 is saying it can't detect the fob. The fob is in the car with me. Now I have to start my car by putting the fob at the vent near the steer column. The brakes was hard and would not release when I push start to start the car.
Loss of power which causes vehicle to stall without warning. 30% oil and full tank of gas. The battery light comes on and the car stalls as I apply the brake to slow down at a stop. This has happened 4 separate occasions.
The contact owns 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the gear shifter warning light flashed and the vehicle failed to start.

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.
