Ive been havng problems with my vehicle since I first purchased. The car slips gears and takes off and stagger while on highway. Ive made several attempts to have problem fixed by chrysler. I was told that the transmission doesn't match with software and chrysler is looking to fix issue in the future. Thecar feels really unsafe. After doing research, I also noticed that this car was sold to me way above price that was offered to others. I also feel that the contract is no longer valid as the car dealership requested a certain amount to pay off my trade in. I later found that the amount was nearly $300 less than the requested amount. I was told that any excess fund will be released to me. Its been over a year and I have yet to receive the refund.
2015 Chrysler 200 acceleration complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 160, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Mostly hwy driving~engine light comes on, transmission light is on and vehicle speed decreases, unable to accelerate. When I come to a complete stop, most times the screen will reset, the engine light will go off with in the next day or two. Stored codes have been p1da9, p073e. I've taken the care to the dealer, software reset-only solved the problem for a short time. Searched for recall by vehicle and there are at least 7, but when searching by VIN # states none. This has happened numerous time but I will enter most recent date with complaint
Purchased vehicle 24 april 2017. After approx. 2 weeks the "service airbag system' message and airbag light on panel came on and went off after a few days. Called and spoke with dealership I purchased from and was informed that if it came on again to take it in to get checked. Came on again after another 2 weeks, scheduled appointment and the morning I took it in it went off. Came on again at the end of june which was another 2 weeks later and has been on since. First couple of time came on while driving, last time came on right after car was started. Car will also making a "jerky" acceleration motion while driving on highway and acts like it can't accelerate after coming out of a stop. Makes the "jerky" acceleration motion when pulling into driveway also. Did some research online and saw that others where having the same issues. I haven't had this vehicle a full 4 months.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving at any speed, the vehicle jerked and stalled, but did not shut down. The odometer warning indicator blinked on and off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (chacon motors in san antonio, tx) where it was stated that nothing could be done. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 39,000.
Service elec throttle control. Vehicle was stationary and moving, as were we returning home via the highway. Car keep jerking. Would not shift down from "7th" gear.
**I will continue to post until my issue is resolved** my 2015 chrysler 200 limited has been experiencing the same thing as all other reports. 06/08/17 car turned off while driving and would not immediately turn back on. When it did it would sputter and then stall. 06/09/17. Check engine light came on code p2172 for throttle actuator control system and the car would not let me accelerate past 32 MPH. One of the possible issues would be an open or short in the wire harness. This is something that is discussed in the r24 recall however, my VIN is not on the list yet. This is an extremely unsafe vehicle and it needs to be addressed immediately. I'm confident that there are more than enough people to begin a class action suit. If I have to post on here again and add accident, injury, or death. The lawsuit will hold a very different meaning.

From january - april 2017, I have had multiple instances of losing the ability to accelerate or shift gears while making left hand turns. The car throws up error messages regarding the loss of performance shifting and "lightning bolt" symbol. I have to coast to pull over to the side of the road and restart the engine to get moving again. The last time it occurred, I had a truck behind me. Luckily I was moving fast enough and was able to get out of the way without being involved in an accident. I have had the car into the local chrylser dealership on multiple occasions where they have thought they have found the problem in an electrical connector. It is currently in the shop again and has been for the past month and they still can't figure out the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, the vehicle would delay to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The air bag light, transmission service, the front and rear tire pressure warning indicators illuminated as well as the head lights failed to function properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump needed replacement and having electrical issues. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact mentioned that the vehicle had been back to the dealer at least six times since purchasing the vehicle in march of 2017. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,971. Updated 09/26/17*lj updated 11/21/2017
On 1 may 2017, I was driving my 2015 chrysler 200 to work. I was cruising at 67 MPH on the 4 lane highway in busy morning traffic. The car suddenly accelerated from 67 MPH to 70 MPH then to 74 MPH within a few seconds. I cancelled cruise control but the car stayed at the accelerated speed and I had no control over the car at that time. I tapped the brake with no response; then I tapped the accelerator and finally regained control and was then able to brake and slow the car down. When the car was accelerated to 74 MPH, I had no control and I could hear that it was winding and trying to shift to the next gear but it seemed stuck at 4000 rpms. This was a very scary experience. I will not allow my daughter to drive the car anymore. I also am afraid to drive it myself. It's a fairly new car and I have already gone to the dealership 2 times prior to this event because the car also suddenly accelerates when I take my foot off the accelerator attempting to brake. On a daily basis, I can feel the car speed up when I take my foot from the accelerator to the brake. This sudden surge could easily cause a fender bender. Each time I went to the dealership for this issue, they could not find anything wrong. When I called chrysler about this event on 1 may, I was offered assistance in getting it diagnosed again, but I have already done that and see no need since on both occasions they could not find anything wrong. I hope they buy this car back as I don't feel it's safe to trade in plus I am "upside down" so I would still be paying for it even if I traded it. I hope chrysler does the right thing by myself and others who are having problems with these vehicles because they are unsafe and unpredictable. See also odi 11102154. *dsy
The engine light continues to remain on while in drive mode the gear shifts remain to move accordingly #1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8 the transmission is starting to slip while in driving mode and that the airbags system is continued to blink on and off these are some of the bad defects that's happening as of now I'm afraid of really driving these vehicle due to faulty systems that may be more than a issue the problems started when in parking and drive mode.
The engine light came on and never went out and that the airbag service systems keep on coming on the my car sometimes speed and then it will not accelerate beyond 45 miles it seems that the car engine is ready to go out at anytime or moment while driving the gear shift is jumping from #1,#2#3#4#5#6 also temp for the outside of the vehicle has been messing up along with the time. I'm not sure what else would happen if I continue to drive it. The car may cause problems later on while driving I don't have any warranty on this vehicle to be repaired and that I have read the recall of all chrylser vehicles from 2010-17 these are the same exact problems that I'm having the parking lights and engine light had came on during parking and stayed on till I left work on the 04/28/17 and 04/29/2017 it also has started to jerking a few weeks ago till now also . I'm afraid to drive it because I just may have a wreck while driving this vehicle. I'm not really as to what is happening with the vehicle.
I was on the highway and the car stalled several times. I sat on the side lane and turned the car off for a minute. I started it up again and proceeded to get off the highway the car accelerated less than 20 miles per hour. My daughter and I were terrified before the car stopped suddenly and cars had to break behind us to avoid hitting the car. I had to put the car in park and put my hazard lights on and it took a while for the car to start up again for me to pull on the side of the highway. It has done this more than just this incident. At stop lights and while driving on the street the engine will stall and take a minute to start up again.

The service airbag light keeps coming on
I currently have an open complaint just filed on 2/24/2017 (complaint number 10956764) this is a continuation of that complaint. My car was being serviced at fred fredrick's chrysler dodge jeep ram in laurel, maryland on 2/24/2017 to fix/repair the issue that has caused my vehicle to come to a complete stop, without warning, while the car is in drive (I was going 58 MPH on a highway when the car initially stopped without warning - see first complaint). Fred fredrick's phoned and stated the issue had been resolved and they test drove the vehicle with no additional issues/problems. I picked up my vehicle at 4pm - by 8:45pm (not even 30 miles later) while in a residential neighborhood, the car had experienced the exact same issue that had just been repaired. My 2015 chrysler 200c, without warning or indicators, will come to a complete stop while in drive and I'm unable to place the car in a different gear shift or move it. For the second time in 24 hours I had to have my car towed to a dealership. My car is currently at darcars chrysler jeep dodge of silver spring, I have been told they won't be able to even look at my car until tuesday 2/28/2017. Today is 02/25/2017 and I'm out of reliable transportation until at least 02/29/2017. I had to resort to paying for a rental as neither chrysler, nor darcars would pay for the rental upfront. Chrysler said they "may" reimburse the rental if it is deemed that the work completed on my car was essential. In my opinion, a potentially life threatening issue should be essential - my car comes to a complete stop without notice. I have attached my service records since may 2016 ( purchased the car in april 2016 used) as well as my current rental agreement. I also have a video of the car stalled as well. This is clearly an issue with chrysler and they want to repair instead of buying my car out so that I can purchase a working vehicle
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the instrument panel gauges and lights suddenly began to flicker before the vehicle suddenly shut off.

The contact also indicated that while driving approximately 65 MPH while the cruise control was activated, the driver was unable to immediately deactivated the cruise control. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was unable to be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 30,000. Djr
I purchased a 2015 chrysler 200c in october 2016 and 2 weeks after purchasing it I was at a stop light and my car just completely shut down saying to service transmission service brakes etc. My vehicle had to be towed to the dealership and they said they reflashed the computer that day and it was fixed. I picked it up and have been leery about it ever since well a month of having it and on nov 28 2016 I was going home from the store and was turning into my street when my car stalled out on the road. I was hit by a oilfield water truck and my car was totaled. I went in to the hospital with injuries to my face, leg arm and head. I ended up with a concussion and bruising all over and a boot on my foot. And there's a possibility my jaw is dislocated. *tr update 09/28/17 *bf. Updated 7/12/18
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal did not respond while being depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
I financed the chrysler 200 2015, used on 7/13/15. Around august 28th, 2015 I was driving and my car stalled while in motion in a busy intersection. A message appeared on dashboard: "engine warming wait to start", the knob and break locked I could not move the vehicle. The message on the dashboard then changed to: "shift to p." after pressing the push to start button on and off I got the car moving and decided to head to the dealer cautiously, on the way to the dealer it happened another 3 times and I was able to get it to move again and get it in the dealership. They had it in for a few days and told me they fixed the problem. An hour into driving after I left the dealership the car stalled again this time it was dark out and I was on a highway (luckily right lane) the car would not turn back on this time it was completely locked. I exited the vehicle and sat on the side of the highway waiting for a tow truck. (police were called too). This problem was blamed on the r24 recall, a month later I got the car back with the part that had to be replaced and everything seemed fine. The car stalled again on 4/20/2016, same message on dashboard this time it was while moving and making a turn and I almost got hit head on by another vehicle. They took the car in again, said nothing was wrong this time, happened again in june,2016 they said again nothing was wrong. It happened again, the end of sept,2016 and I got a recall notice for the s55 recall which can cause stalling. They kept the car in dealership said they had to wait for part from chrysler. They told me it was fixed and on 11/6/2016 I picked up the car and it stalled about 100ft away from the dealership. They took it back in, and now they said again that it is fixed and for me to pick it up. I am terrified, it is an unsafe, unpredictable vehicle. Please investigate chrysler for the sake of safety. Help me.
Enterprise auto sales sold me this chrysler 200 with an open warranty on it, which I discovered later on. From the time I drove it home, there have been issues with the transmission behaving erratically, surging or racing idle and lurching from a stopped and/or slow MPH. It has also behaved as though its suddenly in idle only one to jump back into gear. It's been to the dealer for the TCM recall and that hasn't remedied the problem. Then a new safety recall was released and there is no date on when the most recent issues will be fixed. I saw that my vehicle was potentially listed under the consent agreement's buy-back option for owners. When I spoke with customer service, I was told there was no such thing as a buy-back program and my vehicle was not within the consent agreement. I requested another department and was told there was no other department. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was flatly denied by the customer service representative who had a speech impediment. I haven't ever dealt with a csr that hostile. I'm surprised she works with customers. I've only had this vehicle for about 4 months and it's been a nightmare. Definitely buyers remorse here. I do not feel safe in this car at all. Chrysler has had more than a reasonable amount of time to either repair or refund this vehicle. I believe they should repurchase it from me so I can invest in something else. And as a side note: I have managed to track down all of he work orders completed on this car except for the first safety recall, and according to chrysler's records, it was repaired by a rental company who is now defund. Very shady.
I was driving home from work yesterday evening doing 60 -65 MPH on hwy 6 and my car decelerated like it turned off. I tried pushing the gas and nothing happened, the engine didn't even rev up. I had warning lights flashing on my dash. I tried uploading pictures but they wouldn't attach. I coasted the to shoulder of the road and my car wouldn't disengage from drive. I turned my car off hoping that would help, but when I turned it back on it wouldn't change gears from park. I got towed to the nearest chrysler dealership. Today I received a call from the dealership that they were going to reset some computer drive and I "should be good to go this afternoon". I told that lady there's a recall on chryslers for that very issue and I refuse to drive that car until it's fixed. This is a brand new car. I've barely had it a year. She told me that right now they can't fix it. If they can't fix it then chrysler needs to buy back all of these cars from the people got scammed into buying them. I've had engine trouble from this car from day 1.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. While stopped at a traffic light, the rpms surged independently of driver input. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
Takata recall: my car shuts off and will not power back up or allow to start sometimes when I stop. It also will not detect my key fobs while im trying to start it. Also, it will jump very badly when going slow(street) or fast(freeway). The car also smelled like fire while I was driving one day. It also had an issue where it shut off while I was reversing. I took it to the dealership 4 times and made a complaint with corporate 2 times. They always seem to say they did not find anything wrong with my car. One of my case numbers with chrysler corporate is 29448239 and the other is 29301258. Both were closed although I stated that the issue was not resolved.
I bought the car in february 2016 and was told it was bought back because of a sensor and had gone through full inspection and was cleared for sale. Two days later my check engine light came on and the car had accelerated from 60-92 on it's own. The dealership puts new parts in and every two weeks after I get my car back, the check engine light comes on and the car is accelerating on it's own. Chrysler has a team talking with the dealership but the car has been back around 10 times and is still having the same problem. Last week it accelerated from 72 to 97 on the freeway while my 2 year old son was in the car. We almost hit a semi. I dont understand how chrysler is able to keep closing my cases and telling me they fixed it when it is still having the same problem. I've googled engine issues on these cars and found mine wasn't the only one doing this. I am paying a lot of money for an unsafe car that keeps accelerating on it's own and nothing is being done.

"takata recall" on or about 8/25/15, I purchased w/warranty a 2015 chrysler 200 (used). The car shut down while @ a traffic light. On or about 10/11/15. Towed to fulton dodge, jeep, chrysler, sacto. Ca. For "recall repairs" I experienced the car making forward jerking motions when downshifting & coming to a stop on numerous occasions, again on or about nov. 2015, I were at a local grocery store when the car would not start, and was towed to elk grove dodge, jeep chrysler for further diagnostic and repairs. The car after several weeks driving started jerking upon downshifting and would skip the #2 gear. The vehicle in question was brought back into elk grove dodge, jeep chrysler for further transmission & software repairs on or about dec. 2015. Several letters and emails had been written to chrysler corporation complaining about the matter. A "lemon law" complaint had been filed march 2016, settled on or about 4/13/16 with fca., buying back the chrysler, and reimbursement of payments made, except reimbursement for keeping the car insured, I've yet to be notified when and where to return the "coffin" chrysler. My life has been in jeopardy from day of purchase.
Takata recall well I guess I'll join in with the rest. My 200 is just about a year old. I have just a little over 10,000 miles on it. Been back to dealer twice with same problem. Speeds up when braking at about 35 MPH. Then when accelerating engine dies and vehicle slows down....then speeds up. 1st time they downloaded an update... 2nd time they said nothing wrong that they could find. (according to diagnostic codes) I like my car.. Let me know when they finally get a fix for this. This is on rural country roads mountainous and hilly. Itbis dangerous.
