When decelerating at either a red light or to turn, car will completely shut off with no warnings or check engine lights. This started almost a month ago. Then today everything locked up. All electrical lights came on along with the check engine light. There was no power when trying to get the vehicle back home. It should have been towed.
Car has shut off while driving last few weeks. It happened. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 mph, it has happened while trying to merge onto the freeway. The car just stalls, says "place in P to start" and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. This has happened with several cars behind me and have almost been rear ended because of it. Took it to the dealship but, all they told me to do was track my oil changes but, the problem still remains.

The pressure on my front drivers side isnt reading it at all at first I thought it was a an electrical so I changed it then a popping and clicking sound started so I went to a mechanic and they told me it was the cv axel joint I replaced it still persist they said it might be a valve ok I replaced still has the popping and clicking sound and to top it off when im pushing on the gas pedal to go faster the car for some reason pulls back they told me at the Chrysler auto repaid it might be because it needs the transmission oil change I made an appointment and had it done but it still persists I don't know what else to do its cost me so much money to try to figure out what wrong with it and for some one on minimum wage its getting very difficult to continue paying this vehicle that has problems that just won't go away.

2016 Chrysler 200 S with 94,000 miles shifts hard between gears, often feeling/sounding like it is slamming into gear. It surges when stopped at lights or stop signs and bucks and jerks during rapid acceleration.
The transmission will change gear unexpectedly. Cause my car to jerk shake and unusual long delay to accelerate at times even rev high while prolonged delay before accelerating. This has caused multiple situations that made the safety of driving this vehicle unpredictable and a hazard for me and other motorist.
My 2016 Chrysler 200 stalls randomly in traffic on the highway. I was on my way home from ocean city, md when I hit traffic at the bay bridge. I was trying to switch lanes when I noticed my power steering was not working followed by a message on the screen stating to put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. Vehicle restarted but was not shifting correctly. Happened a second time in a similar situation. This is a major safety hazard. I don't even know where to begin looking for the problem because there is no check engine light indicating what is happening.
Stop and go traffic for about 20 mins, once I entered the intersection the vehicle completely stopped without warning. I could not locate the emergency release to place the vehicle in neutral. Car sat in the intersection got 1.5 hours.
My car suddenly turned off as I was making a turn. I have fixed the car 2 times from the same thing and this will be the 3rd. I want to see if there's something associated with a recall about the computer module. It stalls to turn on, and when it does it won't go as far as a mile

This evening when driving my car the vehicle stalled out and cut off a number of three times within a 10 minute span. Once while making a right turn out of the parking lot of my job, second when coming to a full stop at the parking lot entrance and last as I was begining the merge onto the highway from an on ramp. The day prior the car shut off completely a total of 5 times at various points throughout the day. My vehicle is regularly maintained by the service department where I purchased my vehicle brand new. There were no warning light or indicators that there was an issue. The only notification was to "shift car to park to start engine". this issue nearly caused a major accident when attempting to merge onto the highway this evening. This is highly concerning as this issue could potentially cost my family or myself our lives should the vehicle shut off at the wrong moment. I've searched numerous sites about this problem and it appears there are a lot of people experiencing this issue with the same year and model as well as ones produced prior to 2016. This concern is life threatening and should be treated as such with some form of remedy from the manufacturer.
My Chrysler 200 started shifting really hard and as you're driving down the road you can feel it jerking. I called the Chrysler dealership that is local to me took it in they only drove at 3 miles and decided there was nothing wrong with it except for a software update. I paid $132 for a labor charge for a software update that never fix the problem. Took it back 2 days later they can't diagnose it with spark plug issues. Paid $160 for spark plugs and labor just to have the same problem. They still after a week later have no idea what is wrong with my car. Just wondering what kind of technicians actually work for Chrysler.
This is [xxx]. how can a vehicle 2 years old have so many transmission issues to even count on one hand" I've been able to research hundreds of other examples of this very identical vehicle display the exact same issues my car exemplifies. Are you guys just waiting for a tragic death to occur" if so, how about you guys refund us and drive the vehicles around for a while until that death occur. The lowlifes at Chrysler need to be sued and charged for neglect. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
