2015 Chrysler 200 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 160, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the front passenger’s side air bag warning light would remain illuminated and would turn off and on without a passenger being in the seat. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the electrical wiring, but the failure reoccurred. Also, while attempting to accelerate from a stationary position, the accelerator pedal needed to be depressed almost to the floor before the vehicle responded. Occasionally, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and the vehicle would suddenly lurch forward. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Cruise Control will randomly accelerate or decrease speed. Transmission won’t shift properly run high rpms then jump and eventually shift. Air bag constantly is pulling messages. Electrical and engine stalls.
While driving, my car will accelerate when depressing the brake. If cruise control is set to say 60 mph, the car will continue to accelerate well after the desired speed has been reached. When pressing the brake to disengage cruise control, the car will still try to accelerate for about 10 seconds, even while depressing the brake. I'm not sure if that is related to this, or if it is a separate issue, but my car will also stall out when coming to a stop or slowing down, especially if braking hard. When the engine stalls, power steering and braking are also lost. My car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections, on a busy highway coming to a red light or slowing down because of a hazard in front of me, and at stop signs. I also check my oil regularly, and do routine oil changes. When I check the oil, and when I have my oil changed, the oil level is almost ALWAYS low, and has even been completely empty a couple times. I've confirmed that there is no leaking under the car. Sometimes I smell burnt oil coming from my car. I fill the oil up, and less than a month, and the oil is almost gone. More worrisome to me, is the fact that even though the oil was completely empty, my oil light never came on. So it was by luck that I checked the oil and noticed that it was empty because I wouldn't have otherwise known. My check engine light will come on from time to time, and I have it checked for the codes each time. The following are the codes that have shown up every single time: P2172; U1424; P106A
While driving into my parking spot suddenly ABS, awb unavailable, performance shifting unavailable, service airbag, cruise control unavailable, front park sense unavailable, lane sense unavailable, dash lights appeared as my car lost any availability to shift gears, accelerate or decelerate
Says to shift into park and restart the car. Takes a few tries to turn on. Check engine light came on and performance shifting unavaliable notice showed up. Now it there is a herking motion everytime the gas is touched.
Air bag light won't go out. My car also will not accelerate over 40 MPH
Car jerks, loses speed when taking off, may stall when when taking off this car does this when car is taking off, after sitting at light and has done so on highway causing possible fatal incidents. This is a consistant issue
Wants to shut off while driving, while accelerating and slowing down right before complete stop. Dashboard does not give error code. Dashboard told wife to put in (p) while in (d) going down road around 15-20mph and accelerating and I found same problem and complaint online on many websites. I thought it might be battery before my internet research, but after battery check, battery in perfect condition. Just started happening yesterday evening after vehicle not used in 5-6 days. Not everyday driver vehicle. Tune-up/oil changes up to date.
As I was driving down the highway on september 12, 2020, I noticed that my steering wheel was hard to turn suddenly and my gas pedal and brake pedal were not working properly. The car would not move much and it wouldn't stop properly. Some lights lit up on my dash board. I brought my car into the shop a few days later. The mechanic hooked my car to a machine and nothing was really showing. He did something to reset my dashboard alerts and said that if it continued to bring it back. It did continue, so he ordered new coils for my car. I brought the car back in on september 29, 2020 for repair. The mechanic rechecked my car and he found metal flakes in the oil that he drained from my transmission. He said that is not normal for regular wear and tear.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated upon depressing the accelerator pedal. After some time, the vehicle abruptly accelerated forward causing the contact to temporarily lose control of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the service air bags warning light was illumined on the instrument panel. The dealer had yet to be notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact was then referred to the federal safety agency for assistance. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. *bf
While my car is driving. The awd and traction control become unavailable, and my car stops having the ability to shift gears. It will go into n or when I slow down and pull over I'll try to put it in park and it will shift into every other gear but park.
My car tries to accelerate when coming to a stop. It randomly loses power. Does fine on highways so far. It only has issues when it involved gears shifting. I took it to a shop and they said it was dangerous to drive. They said it was not a transmission issue like the dealership shop said. It was a waiting issue. Likely associated with the recall I've had this shop "fix" twice.
First it was my transmission skipping,than my car keep skipping grasp, now it's lock in neutral my back tires will not move.
We turned onto a main road and we were in front of traffic driving down the road. We had to apply the brakes due to someone cutting us off, then when we tried to accelerate again it shut off and said shift to park while we were in the middle of a busy road. The car behind us almost crashed into us and had to swerve away from us. We had no control over our vehicle, all we could do is try to get the car to turn back on, to get out of traffic. However, we tried to and the car wasn?t functioning correctly. The d for the drive position was blinking. We had to completely stop the car, in the middle of traffic, and hope that we didn?t get hit by oncoming traffic coming from behind us due to having to control over our vehicle. We pushed the button to the ignition/start to start it and it wouldn?t start it. It sounded like it had no power at all and then after a few attempts, while exposed and defenseless in the middle of the road with my family, it finally started and we got going again. This is not the first time this has happened, however, it?s the first time it has with my family in the car. This car is unpredictable and unsafe due to that, my family at risk just going to the grocery store. It is our only means of transportation. We looked it up, it falls under chrysler recall s55.
When at a stop sign the and the vehicle is in drive the steering wheel shakes rapidly. Turn it in a different gear it stops. When trying to accelerate it has a delay; RPM will jump and nothing happens. You release the gas and the cars RPM drops and car jerks you into next gear. With this the vehicle is unsafe when trying to rapidly accelerate. This could potentially cause a wreck or a fatality due to the jerking motion and unaware of the problem could cause major injuries
Car stalls or shuts down out of nowhere while driving, slowing down or coming to a stop, with no signs or warning. Has happened on multiple occasions, most recently april 16, 2020.
Friday morning on february 28th 2020 I was driving my chrysler 200 to work. I was on a busy street that navigates through downtown where I work at. The speed limit is 35mph. As I was continuing to drive down the road my car shut off mid drive . I lost control of my power steering as well as my breaks. A car that was driving behind me almost rear ended me due to the lack of warning for the abrupt stop . This was a very terrifying experience, going from 35 MPH to 0 MPH , with no control of the wheel or breaks , I couldn't do anything but let the car coast and wave my hands out the drivers window to signal cars behind me to slow down and not hit me. My car came to a complete stop in the middle of an intersection, where I blocked busy traffic for over 45 minutes waiting on the tow truck I had to call . The car wouldn't start back up when I tried multiple times to restart it as the car was stuck in neutral with blinking lights appearing on the dashboard telling me to put the car in park , which I couldn't because the gears locked up and wouldn't move. As a consumer this is very disappointing and most importantly it's unsafe . I was 1 hour late to work and I travel with my children in this car . I loved my chrysler and I'm very sad that I now have to look for a different car since I no longer feel safe driving this chrysler 200, things like this makes the vehicle seem very unreliable and unsafe.
Vehicle shakes when idling,parked,stopped or when not in motion. Rpms drops below 1 when in park and this begins the vehicle to shake. Vehicle struggles to gain speed in which, it stays moderated then accelerates at once. As well as, at random times vehicle will jerk unexpectedly while in motion. All this has happened over a period of a year and just recently, service engine light has finally came on. I have had maintenance done on my end to help fix the issues and nothing can be resolved.
During the past 2 months the car started turning off just minutes after we drove it off the parking lot. At night the car would be left overnight parked like any other regular car. Then me and my spouse would warm up the car before we would head to work and then we would drive off. The car would warm up after we turned it on and it would work good, it would not die. Until we actually changed gears and turned to drive it off the parking lot we would drive off a few streets and it would completely die in the middle of the streets atleast a f3 or 4 days out of the 7 day week. We changed the battery about 4 months ago and we went back to autozone but they tested the battery and said it was 100% charged so the issue wasn't the battery. We went to the dealer but they were trying to charge us over 1,000 because of a vacuum change in the system that has nothing to do with the car dying in the middle of the street. It's been 2 months already and I don't know what to do. Usually it shuts off when we decelerate the car not accelerate
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that upon making a left turn off an exit ramp at 55 MPH, the vehicle independently accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed.

He car automatical speed up.and the light keep going out
The vehicle randomly shuts off while driving. I can wait a few minutes and it starts back and runs fine.
The light to get airbag serviced keeps coming on and going off. It has started stalling randomly while driving or coming to a stop. Noticed that it didn't do it as bad once car was warmed up, but then it dropped power while we were in traffic on a bridge overpass and we had to limp it home. Looked up the warning light meanings and it said we should not drive it as it will either lose power without warning and have to be limped or it will accelerate and we would have no way to stop it. So I have a car that cannot be driven and I had seen that there were recalls for similar problems however, when I put my VIN number in, it said there were no unrepaired recalls for this VIN number.*dt consumer's husband and son-in-law repaired the vehicle.
1) power train-while traveling on interstate at 65mph the transmission pops out of gear. I had to pull over put the car in park and then back to drive before it would go. It also happened when I was pulling away from a stop sign making a right turn it popped out of gear and wouldn't go. I drifted to the side of the road stopped, went to park and back to drive. The car acts confused form time to time. From a stop position at take off the transmission jerks and then thumps before it goes into gear. 2). Cruise control- traveling down interstate in the mountain region of n. Georgia, my cruise was set for 55mph. The cruise picked up speed up to 70 MPH then the car started jerking very confused at what it was suppose to be doing. The brake wouldn't release the cruise control. I did get it released once the RPM's settled down. It has happen several times at various locations in the mountains and on flat ground. 3) the head lights are the worst lights I've ever seen on a car. When going down the road you may have 30 ft. That you can see in front of you. When going up and incline what so ever. Your visibility from the headlight is approximately 20 foot in front of you. Terrible headlights. Its scary going up any incline not being able to see what's 25 foot in front of you. All of these issues have been reported at my dealership. All of these issues have happen on more than one occasion.
The parking brake activates without touching it. I thought I was probably hitting it on accident but I'm no where near it. It's really scary. When I'm slowing down the car will accelerate on its own and the airbag light comes on and off.*dt*jb
Shift control module is defective - console message reads ' service trans stop safely shut off engine to engage park' this happend after I stopped and then started car, message stayed on console- with only 40992 miles - dealer is charging $700.00 for fix
I am continuing to have a several transmission problems with the car since I bought it I was not aware of the issues that these vehicles had with transmission I have been to the chrysler dealership more than once . Not only do they provide the word customer service that I have ever had but they told me that the car just needs to be updated like an iphone which is not something I've ever heard of . Today it would not shift into the correct gear and almost had me hit somebody in rear-end them it is very unsafe and has happened more than once. I need help.
