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.

Vehicle hasstarted stalling if I do not let it run for 10 minutes prior to driving. I have had the alternator, starter, and battry checked. Everyone says they are fine. After my battery died from the cold and my electronic transmission light came on I have had nothing but problems and see everyone else has as well. I want a resolution immediately ass it happens mostly as I am accelerating to turn corners or go at lights which is extremely dangerous.

As I am driving down the road the vehicle will completely stall out. The first time it just seemed to have had a dead battery. I got a jump it was fine. After that the transmission died so I had to stop the car turn it back on and my check engine light remained on but it drove fine. Three days later, it dies again while driving. Both times it had died while being driven electronically were on 55mph roads. The time my transmission died it was right down the road from my house so I wasn't going too fast.

So it all started when my car radio shorted out and wasn't working and my odometer started flashing. After about a week of driving with the radio unplugged, the car battery starts draining itself to a dead battery. Now the car sits and doesn't hold a charge for more than 1 hour. My dash lights up on its own when the key fobs are not in or near the car. I've changed the battery's to the key fobs and when I attempt to start the car it states that the key fob is not detected.

Once I tried starting my car I got no key fob detected. When I placed my key fob next to the start button everything would power up but wouldn't crank. The air would turn on the nuetral would flash on the gears shaft but still wouldn't crank. It then wouldn't turn off from run. The car eventually wouldn't show any power so I had it towed to the dealership. They said it was the battery which they replace a year prior so it wouldn't be no cost. Pulis they did an oil change. I called and they said my car was ready. When I picked up my car I noticed the air wasn't turning on and the check engine light on. I went back and spoke with a sales person whom said to bring it back the next day cause the mechanics was gone. I brung it back know they saying the body and transmission needs to be reprogrammed and want to charge me a fee of $700. I'm trying to figure how it went from just a dead battery to know my air don't work and the car needing to be reprogrammed. This is total unfair to me and I've seen several others going through the same problems. If my battery wouldn't have died after only a year I wouldn't need my car reprogrammed and have to spend almost $700. Last year I had an issue with the car cutting off while driving that I had to have fixed now this

The radio began to buffer and would repeatedly cut off and on while I was driving. The touch screen would be frozen during this time and I could not operate any controls. Eventually the car started to stall due to the buffering radio draining the battery. A new radio is on back order and won't be in until october for an issue that has been occurring since early summer. I do not understand why there isn't a recall on this radio due to so many people having the same issue. If a part is on back order, that should let chrysler know there is a repeated issue with this and it should be recalled. I have read many complaints about this car and seen videos online of others demonstrating the same issue. I will never buy another chrysler.

Vehicle has hard shifts and lurches when driving, complete loss of propulsion, then the gas kicks back in and it uncomfortably lurches forward when shifting. Vehicle loses propulsion and shuts the engine off while driving various speeds and while turning, stalls, dash says shift to p to start, shows only battery symbol, shift knob d symbol blinking, loss of power steering. I shift the vehicle into park, shut the vehicle off, try to restart the vehicle and it makes a horrible dead battery starting sound, sometimes starts first try, sometimes I have to wait a few minutes. Vehicle does this every time its driven.
