When oil is low the car stalls and shuts off while in operation without warning. There is no "oil low" light or indicator provided to give a heads up. Also, my car stalled 2 months after an oil change without me reaching the 3000 mile mark.
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH when the vehicle started to stall. The check engine and the battery warning lights were illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the road and waited approximately 10 minutes before restarting the vehicle. The failure recurred while driving to his residence. The contact's wife also experienced failure while driving. The contact's wife stated a police officer stated that the vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure and had the vehicle towed an additional 3 times. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer however, the mechanic was also unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated while leaving the dealer he experienced the failure and drove back to the dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired however, the repair was pending. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V529000 (Power Train). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,500. The VIN was not available.
I was driving down the road and the car lost all power, I couldn't even turn on my hazard lights, wasn't sure of car was going to roll backwards if I got out, lucky no one hit me
Cruise Control will randomly accelerate or decrease speed. Transmission won’t shift properly run high rpms then jump and eventually shift. Air bag constantly is pulling messages. Electrical and engine stalls.
Car will cut off while driving after sharp turns. Lights on dashboard will start to flash and then “Shift vehicle to park” message will appear. No service light appears when car is started
When the vehicle accelerates, the gear shift is harsh and very scary to the point it feels like the car is gonna fall apart. When decelerating, the same thing a occurs. At one point the whole car shifted to the side while attempting to accelerate or decelerate. When making a turn and mainly a U-turn, the steering feels like it's harsh and feels like it will break if it was turned too far or too hard accidentally. The gear shifting/transmission does not shift very smoothly at all times. Its scary when it switches gears. Both accelerating and decelerating in the middle of the highway whether going from 60mph to 70 mph feel or 60mph going down to 40mph. I'm sure it was steering and gear shifting issue because I felt it myself. It sure could be engine problem on the top of that as well. Thank you!
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, she checked the oil in the vehicle, and the dipstick showed that the engine was 1 ¼ quarts of oil low. The contact topped off the oil level however, after a month the contact checked the oil again and noticed that the oil level was very low. The contact was concerned that the vehicle was consuming too much engine oil. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure with the power train control module. The power train control module was reprogrammed however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000.
My car completely cut off while I was driving. I have no check lights on. New battery was put in last year.
When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. I have been stuck with hazards at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on-ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. It can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. Obviously, this is extremely unsafe, & I do not believe that I should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. In addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. That also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. I do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue.
Chrysler 200 (2015) engine shuts down with no notice. I have to literally stop, put the car in park and restart the ignition in the middle of the road to get the car moving again. Mostly when deacceleration (turning a corner/slowing down for a traffic stop, going over a bump, etc.). The electrical system just shuts off. Notice that the temperature outside is usually warm. Seems to do better in cooler weather. The car does not get hot (temperature gauge has been tested). Oil is full and gets regular changes. It is Extremely Dangerous. Many times throughout this month I have almost been hit. Angry people cuss you out for stopping in the middle of traffic. Not only does it cause me high anxiety but the safety of myself and my grandchild is at risk. I am afraid to drive it but have no other means of transportation. Message displays: Put gear in park, restart engine. No engine light comes on so the mechanics are unable to diagnosis issue. It has been put on the code reader but not codes appear. Midas said it was the Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector (R24) . That they couldn't fix it but that it should be under warranty but it wasn't for my VIN # . Prior ( a week or so before) the airbag alert illuminated on the dash (2 different times) but went off after I adjusted my seat. At one time after I started having problems my low light beam indicator said my bulb was out but then went off and my low light still worked (not burnt out). Now my control in the middle of my dash work.
I just purchased vehicle on 6/4/21 for my daughter. I gave her the car yesterday 6/10/21 today is 6/11/21 She was driving vehicle pulling out onto busy road and entire vehicle shut off would not start 30 min of sitting waiting for AAA which costs money to send them and car starts up what the heck death trap
Engine stalls, and dies constantly. Seems to help if it idles for 15 minutes prior to driving even in the warm summer months. All lights went off, looked like a Christmas tree, car floored wouldn't go above 30 mph. Made it home, next day all the lights were off except for the check engine light.
Since purchasing my car, I’ve experienced at least 9 instances of the vehicle completely cutting off, while driving. I have one of these incidents on video. The car will cut off, tell me to “Shift to Park and hit the Start button” while in traffic, posing severe danger to myself and other drivers. There are recalls describing this exact problem, yet my VIN number is not included in the recall. Most recently, my vehicle stalled/cut off immediately after getting an oil change. Once restarted, began running rough, shaking, and would not accelerate. I took it to a mechanic who said the problems all seemed the same as the recalled vehicles and all subsequent problems stemmed from the main power train issue. I was advised to take it to the dealer, which I did, and the dealership is trying to charge me $3,705 to fix a commonly known and previously recalled issue with this year/make/model vehicle. I’ve contacted FCA and they cannot give me any answers, explanation, or assistance.
While driving, my car will accelerate when depressing the brake. If cruise control is set to say 60 mph, the car will continue to accelerate well after the desired speed has been reached. When pressing the brake to disengage cruise control, the car will still try to accelerate for about 10 seconds, even while depressing the brake. I'm not sure if that is related to this, or if it is a separate issue, but my car will also stall out when coming to a stop or slowing down, especially if braking hard. When the engine stalls, power steering and braking are also lost. My car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections, on a busy highway coming to a red light or slowing down because of a hazard in front of me, and at stop signs. I also check my oil regularly, and do routine oil changes. When I check the oil, and when I have my oil changed, the oil level is almost ALWAYS low, and has even been completely empty a couple times. I've confirmed that there is no leaking under the car. Sometimes I smell burnt oil coming from my car. I fill the oil up, and less than a month, and the oil is almost gone. More worrisome to me, is the fact that even though the oil was completely empty, my oil light never came on. So it was by luck that I checked the oil and noticed that it was empty because I wouldn't have otherwise known. My check engine light will come on from time to time, and I have it checked for the codes each time. The following are the codes that have shown up every single time: P2172; U1424; P106A
I have a 2015 chrysler 200. After the car sits for a few hours an engine has time to cool completely down it shuts off on its own after restart and acceleration. If I start to slow down it will shut completely off and tell me to put into park. It has done it countless times on busy roadways, when Im coming to a stop at stop signs or traffic lights. It is starting to also shut off as I am turning. Not only is it extremely dangerous and completely unsafe but its extremely annoying. It seems to do it more if the engine hasnt completely warmed up before I drive it. They have recalls for this exact problem on certain chrysler 200s but apparently mine doesnt fall under that recall and seems ridiculous that it doesnt. Seems as though tens of thousands of the 200s are having this same issue but they pick and choose what ones are fixed. Is chrysler waiting for families to die in car accidents before they finally fix the problem!?
Oil filter housing leaking oil , front struts failure in rear
It has done it before like 6 months after we bought it but it hasn't done it again. I thought I had turned the wrong knob so didn't really look into it much until recently. It almost got is killed. We were gettingoff an exit turning right and it died in the middle of turning. In front of the cars comingour way. . It shuts off while driving at any speed and flashes "shift to park" in order to do that you have to completely stop and shift it then turn off your car in hopes it'll start right up... It dont. We were on a busy over pass when it happened a few days ago. Yesterday (04/26/2021) we were by the court house and it done the same thing. Today (04/27/2021) it didn't even want to start. It idled high and acted like it was dying. I of course had to drive my children to school so it was scary.
The vehicle would cut off causing me to swerve to the side of the road to avoid an accident. It would stall while driving which also caused issues. Then it would just not start and once taken to the dealership on three separate occasions was told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.
Says to shift into park and restart the car. Takes a few tries to turn on. Check engine light came on and performance shifting unavaliable notice showed up. Now it there is a herking motion everytime the gas is touched.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle jerked, vibrated and stalled. The vehicle was taken to fitzgerald chrysler jeep located at 22231 three notch rd, lexington park, md 20653, where the transmission control module was reprogrammed. The vehicle later failed to immediately start with the message wait to warm was displayed. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer who diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced due to faulty engine cylinders. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Car stalled while I was driving once on the highway and I had to swerve on to the side of the ride almost crashing and causing a accident and then a couple of time on the main road which also result into me having to swerve out of traffic almost causing a accident. The car will tell me put it in park I did that and then sometimes it will start up sometime it won't .
In the past 3 years the active grille shutter had to be fixed 3 times. The check engine light would always come up for this issue after it was stationary or parked over night and then the light would come up when it was time to drive again. Finally the dealership fixed the the problem they said the transmission needed to be fixed. After the transmission was fixed my car now overheats after being idle for more than a few minutes. Also the passenger air bag sensor was fixed twice but lit up on my dashboard recently again.
Beginning at mileage 83,931 on 4/5/2021, my 2015 chrysler 200 completely shut off and lost all power while sitting in traffic at a traffic light. The car would not budge nor restart for serval minutes, leaving me stranded at a busy intersection during rush hour traffic. After the car restarted, I drove home while the instrument panel lights would intermittently flicker and go completely dark them come back on as if nothing happened. Today, 4/6/2021, my car shut completely off, no power and no warning, once again leaving me stranded for minutes blocking traffic. The car, once again restarted after waiting approximately six minutes. This is very dangerous and can cause a serious crash and potentially kill me, my children, and other drivers on the road due to the car shutting off without warning while traveling in it. After the incident occurring today, the car behaved as if it were going to shut off while in motion; however, I was able to make it the rest of the way home without further incident.
Car just stop while driving and when at a complete stop the car just lose loses power won't move wait a few seconds it just take off
Vehicle was parked for 30 minutes. Came out of store and car would not start. Changed the battery in store parking lot and still wouldn't start but the battery light and engine light were on.
The 2015 chrysler 200 c has stalled and stopped 3times while the car was in motion and would not crank back up until after 5 mins the first in a parking a lot and the other two times on a busy highway which could have resulted in me in and my passengers being injured. The recall code for this issue is r24. And was also told that there was a recall on the car but not for that issue
At 80,000 miles a oil leak became very noticeable. The rear main oil seal was destroyed. Due to the oil leak the front belly pan(68102931ab) became a dangerous hazard. The front belly pan became completely soaked in oil and was dragging under the car. Once the car was taken apart by the tech it was discovered that the oil cooling house (68105583af) was cracked.
Without any warning, vehicle will shut off making it hard to steer and brake. Vehicle will then take upwards of 15 minutes before it will restart. This has happened while in motion, and, while parked.
The oil cooler is busted and leaking oil.
