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.

I was driving about 35 to 40 mph and the car suddenly began to slow down to 5 miles an hour. I pulled over to the side of the road and it shut off. I had it towed where the dealership told me it was the battery.they kept my car for two days. For a new battery. So I popped up there with my fianc and drove around to the back side of the dealership. I got in my car it started right up. My car had not been touched or anything. I went to the service cashier where he tried to say that put a brand new battery in it. But I pulled up my cell phone pics showing it's the same battery that I put red finger nail polish on to show it's my same battery. They made me pay for ' looking St my car' even though they didn't. I never bought another battery. I drove my car off the lot and the next day it did the same thing again except this time the brake pedal was stiff and I was not able to turn the nozzle to put it in gear. I had it towed to another dealership and they said it was 'the battery'. they jumped my car off and sent me on my way. The A/C is going in and out and it smells moldy when I am able to start the piece of sh*t. I tried to trade my car in this passed Sunday and they said I needed a consigner and 10K down. I don't have bad credit. They were just saying that because they know my car isn't worth anything. The salesman antoine strong told me it's only a matter of time before the transmission goes out. I have 75K miles on my car. It has been one nightmare after the other. This is the worst car I have ever had. Please help me get out of this car. Oh the dealership I got this sh*tty car from is landmark Dodge Jeep Chrysler Ram in morrow, ga. They don't care about what type of car you want they only want to put you in a new car. They send me thousands of flyers a year to trade my car in but when I do they don't want it. I was just told by antoine strong!

5/30/19 I purchased my car from gage auto sales in Oregon. On 06/01/19 I was left stranded on the side of the road because it would not start. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. On 6/2 dealership said there were no starting issues and no codes and I could pick up the car. Starting issues progressively got worse. Leaving me stranded many times. Check engine light came on 6/23/19. 6/24/19 took car back to the dealership which they had until 07/12/19 stating is was the key fob and push start button. One week it ran fine then rapidly began to not start, check engine lights came on along with transmission lights. The car has been a lemon since day one. The dealership has sent me to a third party mechanic and are telling me the transmission is not covered under my extended warranty. This car had these problems the day after I bought it. It was defective when I purchased it and no one at gage auto sales will help me. I am 23 years old trying to make it on my own and there is no way I can pay 1500 to re-program the transmission. Please help me!

This car turned off in the middle of the hwy, almost killing myself and passengers, it now says the transmission needs to be serviced. The car will not get up to 35 mph. I have taken this car to the dealership 3 times in 3 months. Every time I do I get a lame reason why the car is acting up but it is never fixed. I am currently using social media to inform others of how chyrsler handles their customer busi9. I will continue to do so to make sure no one ever buys a car from chyrsler. Also we are suing chyrsler at this moment so I can't say too much. But please do not buy Chrysler they are all trash!
