I took my vehicle in for service because cylinder 6 had a misfire and the dealership told me that the Catalytic Converter failed internally and stated it can happen at anytime and it sends metal into the engine causing damage.

What owners say
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60-65 MPH on the expressway, the check engine warning light illuminated, and there was an engine misfire. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the radiator fan, gasket, radiator, and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact called another independent mechanic who was unable to assist. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The check engine light activated, prompting me to pull over immediately and have the vehicle towed. The diagnosis indicated a misfire, which is a known issue acknowledged by the manufacturer. However, the dealer has now stated that the vehicle requires a new engine, despite the absence of any prior warning signs. Refer to TSB 1022106 and additional service communications brought forth by Chrysler to the federal safety agency. There was absolutely no prior warning of this to me.
I had just purchased my vehicle on 03/06/2024. A few days after purchasing my vehicle, the check engine light came on. I took it to Autozone to get the check engine light code read and see what the issue was. The code showed a cylinder 4 misfire. I purchased and replaced replaced the spark plugs, egnition coils, a sensor and cleaner for fuel injectors and throttle body. After I replaced the different parts, it was still showing the check engine light. I took it to Bi O Tires and they had the code read and told me it had a cylinder 4 misfire. They told me to take it to Tunex because they were not able to fix it there. I took it to Tunex and they did a diagnostic to see the reason it was misfiring and told me that the car wasn't misfiring and that the vehicle was fine. They turn the check engine light off and after a couple of days the check engine light came on. I took it to the Chrysler dealership to get it checked, they told me that they were going to check it and fix a recall issue on it, and that if the check engine light came on, they didn't know what to do. The check engine light is back on.

Misfire on #6 cylinder only has 85,000 miles. Mechanic said my engine needs to be replace with new engine
The vehicle would cut off after starting & driving a very short distance then the check engine/flashing lightning bolt would come on. Once the car was off and then restarted, the lights would go off and it might run fine as long as you didn't accelerate too quickly & drove a good distance without having to stop and start a lot. The issue would arise more when driving short distances with constant stops & tight turns or sometimes when having to de-accelerate quickly. Once the car was off for a second then restarted, the only light that would sometimes stay on would be the check engine light. Therefore, I took the car to an o'reillys for a free test & the only codes that came back was p0302 - cylinder 2 misfire & p2172 - throttle actuator control system. The issue had gotten worse so I had a mechanic replace all 4 spark plugs with ngk iridium plugs and the 2nd cylinder ignition coil with a bosch ignition coil. The cylinder 2 misfire code went away when restarting the vehicle but the main issue persists, the car won't stay on & the p2172 tacs code is still present. The vehicle is unsafe & unable to drive. The date I'm using for the question of when the issue happened is when I had the spark plugs and ignition coil replaced. The original issue started around the 2nd week of december somewhere between december 10th-december 14th.
Quite a few times now I have been driving down the road coming to a stop and my vehicle just shuts off. Oil life says 30% but the car still stalls and runs rough. I've almost been in 2 collisions because of this, and I've paid for 3 of the tows. They replaced my ecu but the problem is still happening.
Upon starting car' airbag light may or may not be on. Light turns on and off without warning and has been ongoing. Seems to be rough idle' when I place the car in gear it jerks. During normal driving the car stalls causing a safety concern for rear end impact while airbag light may be on that may cause injury or death. This matter should be investigated and corrective measures taken. After reading testimonials about other 2015 chrysler 200 owners' there obviously is a pattern with safety concerns.
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.
Check engine light came on, using code p03 misfire on cylinder one; replaced cylinder one and spark plug still coming on and battery flunctuating. Shop stayed it's an electrical issue not the cylinder itself . Battery jumps up and down when in idle and hesitates to start. Do not feel safe taking it anywhereb
Cylinder head failure, needed cylinder, valve, and gasket replaced. The car started running poor, misfire, engine light came on. I replaced spark plugs and coil hoping that would fix the issue. Still, misfire went to dealer had work done. This is a well know issue with pentastar they need to be accountable.
