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.

Driving down the road and the car stalled. Tried to restart but wouldn't turn over. Finally got it started again and got home. Was towed to dealership. I was just called and they said I had a wire that was not connected right. I looked on line and there seems to be a lot of complaints about this car stalling while driving. These is very dangerous.
Car's engine stalls at main road for no reason. It would not start up and check engine light came up, dealer tested the car and found nothing wrong, did the same thing again today with the exemption that it was in my driveway going in reverse the transmission would not go back in parking and the engine stalled after 2 minutes the car started up but the transmission indicator shift between P ans S mode. Called Chrysler after that happened and the customer service operator said the it was not possible to remote diagnosed because the car had no engine check light or warning message that if it happen again take the vehicle to the dealer or a mechanic for code scanning. Took the car to advance auto part store and it show code "P0975 power transmission solenoid B control circuit range /performance" dangerous situation when this happens in the highway or road at higher speed because the engine shuts off and transmission does not response making the car uncontrollable.
Chrysler 200C AWD. While sitting at a red light suddenly my dash lit up with the red "service transmission" message then "shift to P then desired gear" and "service park brake". I wasn't able to shift at all, the selector would stay in "P" or the light on the selector would go from "P" to "S" directly bypassing "N" and "D" with just one twist but the car would stay in park. I tried restarting the car a few times with no success. After calling Chrysler roadside assistance and starting to wait an unknown amount of time for a tow I decided to try a electronic "reboot" by disconnecting the negative terminal in the battery. After leaving it off for a couple of minutes then reconnecting I was able to restart and shift the transmission into "D" and get moving again. My check engine light is now illuminated and I am really concerned it will happen again.

While driving on Saturday morning on March 5, 2015 about 7:30am I had just gotten off I 285 and campbellton rd. At the corner of campbellton rd. And barge rd. And was turning onto barge rd. When the car just cut off and stopped. I as well as my passenger (ex-ga. State rep. Ms. Roberta abdul-salaam) was on our way to pick up someone else to go to a conference for the day. We almost both went out of the wind shield and the car didn't move another two feet. While in the middle of the intersection we decided to get out and wait on a bench for the tow truck I called through uconnect. [xxx] got picked up and I waited for the tow truck. After truck arrived we towed the vehicle to landmark. After securing a loan-A-vehicle for the dealership I left around 2pm. The service department said that they found that it had no power at wiring from coil F343 asd ckt. Traced back to blown F16 fuse in ipm. There also was a recall on the car. I picked up the vehicle on 3/12/2015 and put it in the parking lot of the dealer (landmark). Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
