2015 Chrysler 200: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Nov 28, 2018 · Driver assistance, Engine · 2 miles · MI

Randomly if I hit a bump my airbag light will come on. Now for a 2015 200 limited why am I needing to replace the whole starter assembly and now to have to replace the air shutter grille. The vehicle headlamps are extremely poor. It's very hard to see see on all highways, side streets etc. Now the traction stabilizers light came on as I was backing in to a parking space as well as my brakes just started making a squealing noise out no where as driving on the street. There no reason why there should not be a recall on multiple vehicle issues as most people are stating. Why isn't there a number I can call to file a compliant with all the vehicle issues I've experienced? This just crazy then to have to come outta $1,300.00 for vehicle repairs is crazy! Why does this vehicle stall when the oil is low shameful for the vehicle to stop and and barely start back! Tires sucks outside mirrors always have to adjust this brand is garbage!! People everywhere is having issues with the vehicle starting.. Please do something about these vehicle issues. There is no reason why this vehicle is 3 years old and is stalling this is embarrassing. On top of having to pay a note that ridiculous. I want to be compensated in the amount of the vehicle repairs.

On multiple occasions I have been driving down the road and my car shifts very hard and has made grinding noises. Not only that but ever since I have bought it, it shifts like a rubber band being pulled back and makes you lunge forward. I believe I have taken it in 3 times now and with no resolution. The first time I took it in they had a service rep ride with me to see what I was feeling. He personally said that it wasn't shifting correctly and so they kept it. When I picked it up they informed me they did not find anything wrong with it but re-programmed it. As I left the dealership it shifted worse than before. I then called and complained and they said it was normal, on my way back home it was consistently shifting rough. I finally just pulled over shut the car off and started it up again. After doing so it shifted smoother but worse than it did before. On a separate occasion I was driving down the highway at a speed of 70 MPH set on cruise when I tried to disengage the cruise control function and it would not disengage! I was going from a highway to a speed limit change and could not get it. Luckily I have read about this happening and shifted it into neutral and I was able to disengage it after that.

Driving my 2015 chrysler 200s and I'm hearing squeaky noise whenever I go over a bump in the road. Took my car to the shop and was told that I need a lot of front end work done, and that my lower control arms were bad as well as my struts. To add more insult there are no struts on the market for this car. This car is only 3 years old......

I was driving my car on the freeway in stop and go traffic. I had a good 3-4 car lengths in between myself and the vehicle in front of me. The cars in front of my came to a sudden stop so I slammed on my brakes. The car initially slowed but not at the pace I expected. I pushed the brakes to the floor but the car would not stop. I rear ended the vehicle in front of me totaling the car. There was plenty of room in front of me and the roads were dry. The car should have stopped in time which leads me to believe the brakes were the cause. I had noticed them being delayed in the weeks prior but did not hear any squeaking so I assumed they were fine until this happened.

On thursday 03/8/2018 and saturday 03/10/2018 we started our vehicle without incident and traveled less than 1/4 of a mile down our street when a warning alarm sounded and the dash board read something like, "pull over and place vehicle in park in order to start." when we tried to start (key-less car) it would not start right way and made an almost grinding sound. After about 30 seconds to a minute, eventually it started. I do see 2 recalls for this vehicle which describe the vehicle stalling without warning but when I place my VIN in the search it does not identify any recalls on this vehicle. The recall numbers I believe may relevant to our vehicle is chrysler's r24 and s55.

When applying the brakes while backing up, the brakes make a grinding / rubbing noise. The problem is intermittent and happens at different times of the day. It started with just 1,200 miles on the vehicle. There is a problem which chrysler claims they cannot find.

I was at a stop sign with my spouse and I was taking a right hand turn. The car didn't move at all then all of a sudden it lunged forward causing us to jerk back and forth. I still have lower back pain because of this and my spouse neck was hurting for a couple of weeks. Other than that I have several issues that had yet to be resolved. There is a rattling sound coming from the engine compartment. They told me it was a knock and I have tried different brands of gas and it 's still there. The car still lunges forward from a stop even though it has had an update on its system multiple times. When you put the car in park it rolls forward quite a bit. 2 times it jumped out of park and into reverse. I have had an airbag issue 5 times and today it is at the dealership to be repaired again. It is the right side airbag. Connectors were changed and wiring 4 times. Car hesitates a lot especially from a stand still. I have almost gotten into accidents due to the fact that when I was taking a left on a major road from a complete stop the car rolled a little and didn't go. It hesitated jerked hard and went really slow. A grinding noise came from the tranny. Another issue I have is that my car vibrates. I don't have no AC nor radio on and it just vibrates. The tech told me that chryslers star will not do anything for my vehicle just updates. I'm paying for a car that spends about a week in the shop once a month since april. No one can figure it but they can hear the rattling and feel the sound. I even had one tech told me that I should deal with it that I am not the only one complaining but star isn't going to do anything about it. Yet again it is at the shop today getting an update and the airbag being repaired.

While backing into a driveway the brakes made a loud screech/grinding noise and did not stop as it normally would have causing me to almost back into another vehicle. Chrysler has attempted to repair the vehicle multiple times and the vehicle continues to randomly make this sound and fail to stop normally. The dealership claims that the brakes are performing normally and besides the screech there is no problem with the vehicle.

90% of the time when in reverse the brakes give a very loud grinding sort of sound as if metal is on metal. The amount of pressure applied on the brakes does not matter as it will happen even with the lightest of pressure. Owned this vehicle 28 days and it is in the shop for a second time already, first repair attempt was for the service dept to "break in the brakes" which I have never heard of being needed on a new car and the dealership said that was chrysler's engineering's recommendation. This solved the problem until the moment they brought my car around in the service bay in which it returned but slightly softer when the service manager put it in reverse. Over the next couple days it went right back to the loud grinding sound as before and has continued. On my second return, a week later, the dealership has admitted to 5 other 200's having come back with the same issue so far since my first repair attempt. Car is in the shop on its 4th day this time around and still waiting for a definite solution to this issue.
