2015 Chrysler 200 steering complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 86, newest first, as owners wrote them.
A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. My husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. I called chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the chrysler dealership. After 3 days in the service dept I was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. Since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. Luckily this happened as I was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when I was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. I'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time I may not be as lucky. I leased the car brand new in aug. 2014, the lease ends aug. 2017. I intended on keeping the car after the lease was up, but now I'm concerned and feel forced to give it up, even though that may not be the best decision financially. And if I do turn it in, the issue could affect the next owner.

This vehicle has shut off on me while driving. I was driving home from work last night and the car just shut off, telling me to shift to park and select desired gear. The gear indicator was still showing I was in drive, but the engine was completely off. I tried to start the car 3 more times and it wouldn't start. I purchased this car november, 21, 2015. Luckily I wasn't driving fast or anything, I was able to just sit in the road until the car came back on. I am really terrified to drive this vehicle anymore.

This problem has happend twice. I was turning on to a road and the car loss all power steering. The display showed service immediately and a engine light. I turned it off and restarted and it worked again no indicators. Called chrysler local service they said they haven't heard of it, and it was probably a glitch. Then a week later while going 70 MPH on interstate 35 with my son in the car I loss power steering again. Same thing tho when I turned it off and turned it on this time the indicators stayed on. Had to have it towed to the dealership. When the tow truck driver drove it of the truck the power steering was working the indicator light was still on. This defect is going to kill someone.
This morning when I was driving with my 2 year old daughter, my car had major failures. While driving on a highway (us-46), the anti-lock brakes failed first, then went the power steering next. Luckily I was able to pull off the road in time before getting crushed by a tractor trailer. Funny thing is, I knew this was coming. I called my local dealership on wednesday to tell them I suspected my car was going to have the same issues others have had. My car started shaking quite a bit when I was drinking on tuesday 2/21/17. When you research this for this model, you'll find all sorts of scary stories, like mine today. When I called the dealer's service department I was totally blown off, treated like a moron, and told they could see me on march 7. Helpful, right? So I made an appointment at another dealership for tomorrow morning 2/25/17. Alas, I didn't make it. This is a very serious issue. Had I been driving on an interstate, this could have resulted in a major accident. I just hope someone reads this and understands 1. This is not the first person it happened to and 2. This issue is going to kill someone. I escaped with my life today. Others may not.

Car shuts down completely during driving. No brakes steering or anything. Someone is going to die in this car. Dealer can't fix problems. Will just happen.
My vehicle is now a year old and was purchased with 54 miles on the car. Purchase complete in june, by september vehicle needed the motor replaced (so disappointing and such an inconvenience). The car has been stalling amid traffic which is extremely dangerous. The dealership supposedly fixed that issue and yet more stalling now than before. I have reached out to chrysler several times about this lemon and not much help has been given at all. As I type now the complaints with the car is that the car stalls displaying the battery light but starts back up. Took the car to dealership to see exactly what the problem was and of course they stated the same thing (oh the battery must be replaced) at the expense of $390 which I refused those services. Went to get battery tested from a second opinion and the battery life was fine and was not die to be replaced. Now when the car stalls it displays the battery light, traction light, power steering unavailable and shuts off. Well to top that problem and the 3 or fourth time of stalling depending on the distance, car shuts down completely for approximately 20 minutes displaying braking system notification when the car now does not shift into and gears. The air/heating system, radio, lights, etc still works but car can't go into park, drive, reverse, neutral, or low. I emailed chrysler along with pictures and of course I am yet to get a reply.

I started my vehicle and was able to drive it. (malfunction #2) the vehicle has also had problems making a clicking noise when going in reverse like metal on metal contact. (malfunction #3) when I put the vehicle in drive it is delayed and changes hard. On april 23, 2015 my vehicle was serviced for an oil change & tire rotation @ (stevens creek jeep dodge) 4100 stevens creek blvd, ca 95129 and the service advisor was advised. He advised they were booked up for 3 weeks in order to conduct a diagnostic check under the vehicle's warranty. The vehicle was serviced and it is scheduled for the first week of may. The dealer would not give a for a temporary vehicle until the vehicle is safe to drive. I am a single mother two children.

I was driving home and my transmission and power steering went out on me and caused me to hit a median and I almost got into a serious accident. Chrysler hasn't been professional at all in regards to this recall and I'm disturbed. I could have really been hurt and I'm not ok with the fact I have to come out of pocket for something that isn't my fault and could have potentially died. The car was in motion and I was turning in a busy intersection .
