Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 122, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
On august 23rd, I was taking my sister in law back home from our house. On the way back from her house I decided to wash my 15 chrysler 200. When I as done with that task and got back in the car. I noticed my brakes wouldn't disengage. I tried to do the maintenance release through the car's radio and it wouldn't let me do it. This is the first time I had any problem with the car. So I then tried to turn off and on the car and that didn't work. So then I thou maybe if I drove it, they would release and just as I hit 45mph, they did. And started to preform normally. An hour later, I stopped by my mother-in-law house to take car of her dogs like I've been doing for the last few days and when I was ready to leave. The car battery died. I'm not quite sure how cause I don't leave my lights on ever. And I sat there to wait for someone to tow it to the store with car battery and had them switched. They came to tell me that they couldn't get the car out of gear. So I went out there to see what was wrong and they were right. The car was running fine but I couldn't get it to change gears. On my dashboard. My small screen said to service the park brake and I thought, what that the brakes got to do with it's transmission. I looked and saw my mileage, 93,568, was blinking and my gear indicator as n. I'm pretty sure that the car was in park the hole time they where changing out the battery. The shifter nob was able to turn but I wasn't changing the gear either. So after that, I released the parking brake, that's somehow made the care show it was in drive, and had it towed back to my mother-in-law house.
Two days ago my car randomly turned the breaking break on going in reverse I thought I hit something but really my car turned on the parking break I didn't think anything of it but in the same day but different time it did it again also when I mean turned on the parking break I mean it was completely on and stopped my car from moving. Now today I was driving I stopped at a red light went to go pull off and my breaking break came on and I couldn't move my car until I turned it off same with when I went in reverse. I'm currently on vacation 33 hours away from home in california and I'm scared I won't be able to get my car back and myself and family home safely in this car come saturday and honestly I'm afraid to drive it now because it does it randomly with zero warning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air bag warning light and check engine warning light were illuminated. Additionally, the brake pedal was firm, requiring extra effort to depress. The contact took the vehicle to boles automotive service center, llc (354 union cemetery rd sw, concord, nc 28027, (704) 792-1005) who replaced the brakes and completed an air bag related recall repair on the vehicle. The contact stated that the failures persisted. The contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer who stated that the diagnostic codes retrieved were not conclusive which indicated an electrical issue with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not contacted the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
The car shift to neutral in the middle of the road while driving and slows down. The light comes on in states that service transmission service brake system service parking brake. When you put the db scanner on it it says that a wheel sensor is the only problem. When a new wheel sensors put on there the same problem recurrs.
While driving that various speeds, the vehicle jerks while the accelerator pedal is depressed but the vehicle fails to accelerate. Also I noticed the vehicle didn't come with rubber on the accelerator pedal it was completely metal and my foot was sliding while driving so I contacted the dealership and tried to get it replaced but they said that is was a cost saving issue and there was nothing they could do about it since none of the cars came with this so I purchased a stainless steel pedal cover kit but I'm still having issues while driving with the accelerator on this vehicle while on the freeway because it hard accelerator at high speeds without the grip of the rubber.
My vehicle had trouble starting. When I finally started it, I was unable to shift gears, the transmission was acting weird.
Car has serv awd light on had one shot replace a motor on the outside of the transfer case but the problem came back when shifting from drive to sport next I brought it to chrysler and they replaced the sensor near the motor that was previously replaced and it didn't fix anything they still don't know what's wrong with it. My car jerks forward mid breaking in the RPM surge also my transmission is slow to downshift in the first three gears I believe it is and loses compression when going up some hills power to this vehicle as in the torque or horsepower is very inconsistent sometimes it feels sluggish other times it just wants to go . Shops report brake surge is normal. Also had sporatic hard pedal, master cylinder is ok. Brake pedal clicks and feels unstable. The steering rack feels loose and dangerous like its going to fall through the floor. Brake pedal arms rusted cars only 5 years old with 60,000 miles on it with no prior flood damage.
Takes too long for the brakes to recognize they put us on a break then it increases speak before it brakes
While driving or accelerating, the check charging system light pops up on dash screen and will shut off, not being able to drive.
For starters when entering my car it doesn't detect the key I've changed the battery in the fob and car as well I have to sit for sometimes 10 min it will start but message key fob not detected displays the entire time I'm driving. Then it also flashes seat belt, air bags and brakes I've enclosed some pictures as well. It's never don this I don't don't think it's issue with my air bags or brakes but seem electrical I'm not sure but please help me figure it out
Intermittent trouble breaking. Sometimes the pedal gets stiff, sometimes the pedal clicks when trying to brake, sometimes it feels like the pedal is going to fall through the floor or break off and also feels like the entire steering column (steering wheel and axle connecting the frontt tires is going to break! Also feels like the brake pedal is sinking sometimes and that I can't stop and will crash!! I have an appointment to have the chrysler dealership look at it because it has thrown some serv awd code to me twice now when putting the car in drive but then goes out and no codes are able to be read but this happens concurrently with sudden braking issues it seems like! Happens usually when slowing down quickly but can happen at anytime and has varied in conditions as to when the problem flared up.
The emergency brake randomly sets itself when the car is in slow drive; such as backing up or slowly moving forward. Last incident was 2/18/2020; however, it happens frequently.
While driving car would warn me to put in park and start car again. Car automatic shut it's self off in the middle of driving down a main road (busy road)
As I am driving the parkway going about 60 MPH my car with out any warning started with flashing red on the dashboard. The temperature gauge started going from hot to cold and the engine symbol flashed on dash board. I was in the left hand lane with a significant amount of traffic passing me. Within 2-3 minutes as I started to go down hill the dash flashed steering will be disabled, then autobrading with be disabled. The radio at this point shut off and it was difficult to steer the car. There was little acceleration when I tried to give it gas to keep with the pace of the other vehicles attempting to move to the side of the road. I put my hazardous flashers on but because I did not have a dash board screen I was sure they were working everything electrical seemed to be off. I finally made it to the side of the road and the car went about 3 feet and stopped. I was not able to put the car in park once I got to the side of the road. It was difficult for the tow company to pull the vehicle because the wheels were locked and they had to use special equipment.
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
The emergency break cuts on for no reason. The car stalls after stopping. The car cut off while I was driving one time. My car would not start (lights, alarm were on) but the engine would not start.
My 2015 chrysler 200c all-wheel drive 3.6 l v6 has randomly had bouts of stiffness/lack of normal tension in my steering usually when going to turn hut has happened at other times as well like when changing lanes! Also I've noticed a clicking/creaking break pedal that will sporadically get severly stiff and when depressed does not slow the vehicle or it will click and sink like the pedal bbn is going to fall through my floor board while I'm trying to break at any speed! This should be illegal I should not be stuck with the $20,000 bill and have my children riding around in a car that doesn't want to break or steer properly and I've had multiple mechanics look at it and they say everything's just fine with it of course they think that because it's not a consistent problem it just so happens to go out same with many other things on my vehicle which makes me wonder if it's not electrical either way I don't care what the cause is if you can't fix it or if it's going to cause me not be able to steer or brake properly with my children in the car we all deserve our money back because this is not safe and these cars should have never been released to the market!
"takata recall". To begin, my car wouldn't accelerate, I'd be driving and it would hesitate then take off reallty hard as to even jerk. Did this a couple of times before I took it in to the dealership, one place told me it was nothing wrong, took it to another dealership because it kept stalling as I was on the highway and they said it was an electrical issue. Then another issue occurred with the dash illuminating telling me my airbags alert displaying on my dash (2x)took it back to dealership, though they kept it for a week, they said it was because someone kicked the wiring loose under my passenger seat. No one has ever sat in my back seat. Now my car is in the shop because at first the malfunction light illuminated, drove my car to work, returned to my car and it wouldn't start, had roadside jumpstart it, and it started, went back out later and it wouldn't start, as I tried to get out, my dash lit up and I had to push the button for it to turn off, as I'm walking away, my car literally tries to accelerate on its own, as if I hit my remote start. Had it taken into the dealership. They diagnosed my car as having a faulty climate control module ( first off, I drive 17 miles to and from work everyday, my climate control has been beyond functional, I literally have to turn it off because it gets so cold in my car) and they also said my car stalled because of a bad battery, and said the burning I smelled on the passenger door was a faulty wire and thats why its not functioning properly, which they're repairing, but charging me for it. I have had so many issues with this car since I purchased it. When I'm driving and turn the wheel to the left, it sounds like something is going to break, also my breaks will lock up on me if it's raining and I'll slide ( really)?? This car has been nothing less then a lemon.
I have a 2015 chrysler 200 s I have searched the recall database and it says all recalls have been performed. The vehicle has had issues since I have bought it and to no satisfaction has anything been completed. Lights on my dashboard are flashing and the screen is flashing different systems are malfunctioning. It sits in my driveway I am afraid to move it although now it says it has a misfire and the service awd light is on. When I did drive it the service transmission light comes on and the car will not drive past 1500 RPM.
Attempted to brake at an intersection however the vehicle did not brake. Pulled the emergency brake to avoid collision. According to the napleton chrysler dealership in palm beach gardens, fl the brake booster on the 4 year old vehicle needs to be replaced.

After car in motion, it shuts off while driving, noticed that ABS light came on before this happened. Sometimes after it starts, it just shuts down, car goes completely dark, I opened the door and power came back on, then I could re- start it. It is very scary because I was in major traffic when this happened.
Takata recall when you press the brake it makes a spring sound. When you drive the gear switches by itself and the car accelerates by itself.
When driving my vehicle from the stop position on the street or at a traffic light and I begin to accelerate the vehicle hesitates as the engine rpms increase. It takes about 2-5 seconds for the transmission to catch up with the desired speed. When driving over 45 - 55mph or higher on the highway there is a distinct humming sound coming from the front of the vehicle. A constant humming sound. When I decrease in speed the transmission jerks as if it doesn't want to go into its lower gears. This problem has been occurring with the vehicle since I purchased it used in august of 2017 in hawaii.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While the vehicle was in reverse, the emergency brake engaged independently without warning. The contact stated that the failure recurred numerous times.

I purchased my 200 in 2017, the ABS indicator light will not go off, there actually a recall but, my VIN doesn't show it. My emergency park has ignites on its while stationary at a stop sign and while in traffic at a red light, thankfully there wasn't any semi-trucks behind me because, there would have been a fatality. The car has lost power while in motion at least 3 times. Just recently my car become stuck in neutral and the car would not move. I called chrysler, they stated that it was a powertrain issue and it would be covered with my warranty, so they paid for the tow to the dealership, the dealership had the car for a day, they counterclaimed what chrysler stated, they claimed that it was because, the battery was just replaced so the computer needed to be re-set but, this happened on 2/12/2019 and my battery was replaced on 9/2018. There was a recall in 8/2015 for this exact same issue. I talked to the guys at my regular service station and as soon as I told them what happen they knew that I was lied to by the local chrysler dealership.
While in motion the vehicle will shut down - steering wheel locks, brakes dont brake, no sensor lights. Vehicle starts after 30+ mins but no mechanic can locate the problem due to no sensor lights. This is a major health issue when the vehicle stalls in high traffic areas and can't be moved. At this time, it has happened on 3 occassions within a two week span.
