Parking brake will spontaneously engage while driving on city street going less than 15mph. Check turns on but no codes and will not turn off. Biggest issue lately is that car does not recognize key fab. Batteries have been changed and neither key fab is recognized. Car can be started, get out and get back in and fab is jot recognized. Has left me stranded many times. Then when go back, it suddenly works.

The car will shut off while driving. Especially when making a right or left turn, the car will shut off in traffic. This definitely can cause a safety issue on the highway, in which it have shut off on me.
On 10/12/18 was driving down a busy highway just started going down a hill and my car lost power and my gear shifter starting blinking in neutral, brake pedal and gas pedal was stuck and push to start would not work for me to restart my car after a few tries I was able to get to turn off and took a couple tries to get it to turn back on. I was stalled and had cars dodging me and swerving in other lanes when they were topping the hill. I went to my dealership and they wasn't able to look at that day and told me they could probably get to it the next following week. While I was driving to the dealership to drop it off with the service department I was at a stop sign stopped with my foot on the brake and it decides to take off on it's on and I had to smash the brakes several times to make it stop in order to not hit another vehicle. It was a pretty traumatic experience for me as I have always took care of that car since I have had it. I never had a recall for my vehicle either. My engine would also skip a few times while driving to my dealership. I have also never had any work done to my vehicle mechanically beside oil changes on a regular basis.
The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle slowed down and shut off without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to napleton's river oaks Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (708-801-3090, located at 17225 torrence ave, lansing, il 60438) where it was diagnosed that the oil was low. The technician topped off the oil, but the failure recurred after 700 miles. The contact went back and forth to the same dealer and the oil was refilled each time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and recommended an oil consumption test be conducted. The failure recurred and the manufacturer ordered the dealer to perform a diagnostic test. A diagnostic appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,424.
I have noticed that my 2016 Chrysler 200 is burning oil at an alarming rate. I didn't even know it was low because there is no sensor that shows up on the dash letting me know the oil was low. The "oil change life" is still at 20% life but my car has burned thru over 4 quarts of oil in 4,000 miles!! I find this extremely concerning not to mention the possible engine damage that can be done with a car burning this much oil. There should be an alert to drivers letting them know the oil levels are low. I have never had a car that burned oil like this!
In the last month, my 2016 Chrysler 200 has stalled out while driving without any notice. Upon trying to restart, it struggle to turn over. I have to put in park and wait a few minutes before it will start up again. There is no warning before the car dies either. There was no warning light on the dash to let me know that something is wrong. Each time my car stalled I was on a busy highway and luckily no car were coming or they were able to go around me. I was scared I was going to get hit and killed when my car stalled in the middle of the busy highway. I have read the numerous 2015 and 2016 models have the same safety issue. The 2016 200 needs to be recalled to fix this serious, possible fatal issue of stalling out without warning. Each time this happened to me was when I was at a stop and then stepping on the gas, or when I was at a low rate of speed (approx 10 mph). I have documented the dates and times each time my car has stalled out.
As I was in motion going about 20 mph with the car in drive (D), the car displayed a message as seen in the photo that states shift to park (P) to start. As, that message is displayed the steering wheel and the brakes lock up while the car is slowing down so you cannot shift the car to park until the car has come to a complete stop. Once the car comes to a complete stop, I shifted my car back to park and tried to restart the car. The car wouldn't restart right away. The engine and transmission would make a noise as if it were trying to start with the RPM's fluctuating to about 3 (3000 rpms) then go back to 0 then jump to 1 (1000 rpms) then back to 0 rpms where the engine would give out. I would have to wait a minute, while in the middle of traffic, then it would restart and run normally again. I called Chrysler corporate, due to the fact of having the whole transmission replaced while under warranty due to a transmission problem that grew after purchasing the car. Leslie from Chrysler gave me case id #: 34798487. I scheduled an appointment with darcars Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of silver spring located on 12511 prosperity dr, silver spring, md 20904 to bring the car to get serviced and the issue looked at on August 7th 2018 at 10:45 am. I am currently waiting for a diagnosis of the issue to be addressed by the dealership. Please see pictures attached for more information.
Exactly one month after purchasing my Chrysler 200 Nov 28, 2017bthe engine light came on during short drive to the movies, and the engine began to stall while waiting at a red light. I had to pay almost $400 to replace ignition coil. Then a month ago, 06/27/2018 another ignition coil failed costing me $250, luckily when the coil failed I was in line at a starbuck's drivethru. Now another coil has failed leaving the car undriveable again, and now unable to afford repair. Unfortunately the warranty I purchased with the vehicle does not cover this part and after recently reading reviews on this particular vehicle I have come to learn that this is a recurring issue that has not been called out, yet this vehicle is still be sold to people. I strongly feel that it is a safety concern, because in this last incident my coil went out while driving on the highway and my car began to stall in the middle of rush hour traffic during a heat advisory. I also strongly believe that the part the ignition coils are faulty and are cause for great concern.
Vehicle sounds as if it wants to shut off when standing idle sometimes and even sometimes as I'm slowing down. And recently took a road trip had trouble with cruise control as if it was accelerating on it's on or getting stuck. I checked my VIN number and found no particular recalls specific to the VIN. However, I received an email that the Chrysler 200 itself had recalls relating to electrical, steering and overall safety of the vehicle. The problems I've been having seem to be closely related to those specified in recall
