My 200 vehicle showed an air bag light 6 months after purchase, about may, 2016. Then the vehicle was not recalled so I ignored it. The oil change at the dealer after may, 2016 date failed to address the light. It remains on to this date. Repair on tire that showed a light was refused on June 7, 2017. This tire light remains a problem. Now, the vehicle will not go uphill without stalling and will not run when it rains. The fuel seems to be blocked because I keep pumping the gas to go uphill after it stalls. The car cuts off when I make left or right turns. Now, I warm the vehicle for 10 minutes to show the engine is ready. The engine light has come on for the past 6 months. I failed emission testing in Sept. 2019. The tune up done this month did not help. The engine light and other matters caused the emission testing to fail. My complaint is directed to the gas problem, air bags, electrical dashboard problem for the past year along with the tire light.
Car has shut off while driving last few mornings. It happened in the exact same spot each morning. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 mph, 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. Taking into dealership tomorrow to see what they're going to do. After reading other stories very similar to mine, I'm not very hopeful.
The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. While driving approximately 20-25 mph and slowing down around a corner, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to deacon's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (835 som center rd, mayfield, oh 44143, (440) 442-0424) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
My car shuts off while running and tells me to switch to park. The steering wheel and breaks lock up. This happens mid drive or when I turn a corner and is very dangerous. I had this same problem on my 2015 Chrysler 200 and now I am having the same issue with my 2016 Chrysler. This needs to be fixed this is a manufacturer issue.

Had to replace battery a month ago. Went to leave and car would not start. Had to get a jump from ky daughter to take to have battery tested. Bad battery! and now fuel pump has a short in it. Driving car and stalled and said put into park. Stuck in the middle of the road until tow truck came.
Doesn't start. Every light came on. Everything needed to be serviced air bags key fob not detected air bags needed service parking brake needs service. Check engine light on. Battery light on. Can only start with a charge once charge removed car doesn't start. The car was stationary. I recently found out that the car was on the recall list, but I never received notification from the car company.
Car suddenly died in traffic and wouldn't start back. Car has 66K miles. After getting a jump we got car home and hooked battery to a charger. Next time I went to drive it it died again and I was able to get it started back but the instrument panel blinks on and off and all of the warning lights start going on and off. Currently unable to drive it because it will just die while driving and with instrument panel blinking it doesn't show accurate speed. Please recall this car before it kills someone!
At times will not start. Engine dies while going down the highway. Transmission loses power then after resting it will go again then out of nowhere it stalls again.
Within 1 mile, my car shut off twice while coming to a stop. The screen on the dash said to 'shift to P to start'. I did so, and then it sounded as if my car didn't want to start back up and took me three tries the first time and two the second time to get it started. Now looking into it these cars have a history of this same problem since the beginning of them being made, but nothing is being done about it.
My car have been given me problems for about 6months. Engine light is on. Car keep cutting off in the middle of traffic. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer, I know six times before my factory warranty ran out, and they could never fix it. Took it today and they told me my warranty is out, and now I have to start doing random work to it to find out what's wrong. The employee of Chrysler checked the car to see if it was as giving a code for what is wrong. She said it was not showing a code. The waited until warranty ran out, to make me pay for it. Congratulations hey could never find out what was wrong with it. I don't know what to do. I still owe $19000 on it. Please help.

Takata recall. After I reached 64,000 miles may vehicle turned off while driving to work. It took at least 5 times for the motor to turn over. As soon as power was restored battery light came on. Now the battery light is off but the check engine light is on. Since then I have taken the car to my local mechanic and was told it was the battery. I've had my battery tested and that's not the problem. There now S a major electrical issue that is wrong. I have tried to drive my car since and it continues to turn off. This is only not a hazard to myself but to others that are driving because it abruptly stops in the middle of traffic. Chrysler I need you to investigate this issue.
A couple weeks ago, I was at stop light my car stalled, I put in park it restarted. I couldn't put on my hazards or anything to warn the car behind. It happened again on this Saturday on the highway in the fast lane the dashboard was blank, the radio stopped playing, so merged in the slow lane without using the brake then everything came back on the speed gauge was trying to get my current speed. It doesn't happen all the time but it's scary feeling because everything on dashboard is computerized.
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
I've been into the service department over 6 times for the same issues. This car is so unsafe to drive. I believe this is a transmission issue. My car creates a very hard jerking when switching gears or speeding up. It also shakes when the air conditioning is on and I am only getting about 15 mi to the gallon when it should be 27. I've left multiple complaints since I have had this vehicle, worked with the device department, worked with Chrysler and the situation and safety concern is still not rectified. Please look into this. It's my only transportation and I would like to keep myself, my 3 babies, and other drivers safe. Thank you!
Takata recall, my vehical was completely still, outside of my family home getting into the car with my 1yo. I have had problems with my key fob before so I didnt think anything of it. Tried to go and start my car and my speedometer read 'key fob not detected' but my car crank any way and let me drive 20 minutes out to visit a family member. Once we got back in the car to go home, my car would not crank, due to a computer failure to ready my key fob, had to get it towed to the dealership where I found this out and is costing me around $500 to pay for.
