Takata recall: my car had a recall on it for the transaxle wire harness. I took it in to get fixed and my car has been stalling out. It had loss of motive power. It seems to be getting worse every day and the recall was suppose to fix it. It has almost caused a few accidents. I will hit the gas to go and my car will not move then when I take my food off the car it jults and speeds off. This happens when I stop at a stop sign also a stop light. There are no issues when I'm driving on a highway. It is only if I have to stop or go. I also have issues if I start my car and don't let it sit for s few minutes. If I start my car and go to back out it will feel like someone is hitting my break and letting go. Like it won't accelerate right.
Car stalls while driving on highway and city streets RPM ranges all the way to 9 RPM then suddenly goes to 2rpm while driving car also goes to neutral independently, dash lights indicate service park brake, service transmission, service ABS, car revs in park position as if accelerator is depressed when starting, driver side window intermittently works while driving
Transmission has a harsh shift & slips at times. I've taken it to the dealer 4 times with the same complaint. Chrysler's corporate won't address the complaint because there's no trouble codes or check engine light. I have less than 3000 miles before my warranty expires.
I had just left my house and was driving 25 MPH when my chrysler 200 cut off. The screen read, shift to park to start. I shifted into park and tried to restart the car but it didnt start. Then I waited about 30 seconds and tried to start it again and it started. This was the second time I had this problem. Everytime the car shut off, it was after driving only a few minutes at 25 MPH. I almost got hit by another car both times and it was pretty scary because I often drive with my three yr old. The car is a lemon and chrysler should give everybody their money back or most of it. Chrysler is playing with peoples lives and recalling it doesnt solve the problem.
While accelerating from stop and while in motion, there is a kick feeling when car goes from one gear to the next
The car states that the airbags need to be serviced. I have had this checked out before and the dealership reset the system, but the warning keeps coming back. Also, I have been having issues with my transmission. I have had this checked out before and and the dealership hooked it up to their computer system, but I have been having constant issues with the transitioning of the gears. It jumps alot and runs rough. My car also has been stalling in the middle of driving and while parked. Just recently the car isn't even starting. It takes awhile for it to start up. The check engine light is on too and I received a message that states that I need to service my transmission.
Vehicle stutters while driving came to a red light and my car almost shut off went to the dealer where I purchased the car less than a month ago and they tried telling me this is normal this is a constant thing I have 3 young children and it is a serious safety issue ,this is not an intermittent problem
(takata recall) my air bag light is on and wont go off they said I had a recall on the airbags, my main concern is the transmission my car has been in the shop at least 20 times for this same thing chrysler said they dont have a fix for the problem the car is dangerous and they all need to come off the roads. There has even been some deaths due to this recall. Chrysler should be held responsable for this issue but all they are doing is just replacing the part with the same part that is recalled... Please do something about this before more people get killed for this car stalling out and shuting off.chrysler needs to buyback all of these cars because of the sfaety issue with these cars. And put everyone in another vechicle ..hoe can you help us with this issue. There is over 45 complaints on complaints.com please read over these and help us with this issue before more people are killed. My car is still doing this today so from 11-27-2016 to 3-16-2018 and has not stopped or been corrected at all
On thursday 03/8/2018 and saturday 03/10/2018 we started our vehicle without incident and traveled less than 1/4 of a mile down our street when a warning alarm sounded and the dash board read something like, "pull over and place vehicle in park in order to start." when we tried to start (key-less car) it would not start right way and made an almost grinding sound. After about 30 seconds to a minute, eventually it started. I do see 2 recalls for this vehicle which describe the vehicle stalling without warning but when I place my VIN in the search it does not identify any recalls on this vehicle. The recall numbers I believe may relevant to our vehicle is chrysler's r24 and s55.
Stalling
My car has stalled while driving, while almost immediately losing ability to steer the car. I repeatedly would have to put the car in park and try to restart the car in order to get the car home. As well as having a airbag light that comes on when every I over bumpy roads.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving between 20-40 MPH, the vehicle shifted erratically and was difficult to shift between first and second gear. The vehicle was taken to landmark auto outlet (2350 prairie crossing dr, springfield, il 62711, (217) 793-6050) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The mechanic provided a software update to the TCM. The contact stated that the failure recurred and the vehicle was presently at the dealer for additional diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 509.
Car was purchased used 8/1/17 for my daughter going to college. Car would not start on weekend test drive, they replaced the battery. I did get dealer to fix 3 open recalls. Sept 2017 my daughter was driving at college and car broke down while at a light, would not start. . Got towed to dealer and it started. The dealer found an open code to replace fuse panel and completed fix. Dec 23 2017, car died while driving, however started 5 minutes later. Jan 2018, car would not start - jumped and it started. 1 hour later would not start or respond to jump. Towed back to dealer and next day when they got to it started right up. Feb 6 2018, car died while daughter driving it at 35-40 MPH, she managed to get to the shoulder. After 10 minutes the car started and she took it to the dealer. They found a code to replace the PCM. Feb 18 2018 the car would not start. This car has had several recalls and now I will not let my daughter drive this car as her campus is 2.5 hours away and in the mountains - could not imagine what would happen if she was driving over the mountains and the car died. It is sitting in my driveway as I try to work with the dealer to buy back this car. Chrysler should be ashamed, this is obviously a known issue yet they can't fix it and are putting peoples lives at risk. I do not have the ability to attach service records at this time but I do have them.
S55 recall concern: I feel completely unsafe in this vehicle!! I bought the vehicle in october 2017 starting in late november early december 2017 the vehicle started shutting off by itself when I am driving it shifts to neutral by itself and completely dies. It happens randomly when I am braking or accelerating. This happens at least every 3-6 miles I drive and I have to drive alot working an hour away. This is very scary especially when you are turning in the middle of an intersection and it just stops. Sometimes it gives warnings by lighting up random lights like slippery road, the check engine light, and sputters so I can anticipate it since it happens all the time!!! I am being told that it is because the vehicle is due for an oil change even though I am not over, I use full synthetic done by the dealership, and this is a safety feature for the vehicle but to me this is no safety feature if anything it is a death trap waiting to happen. I have had this vehicle less than 6 months and I am afraid to ride around with my child in it not knowing what will happen. In fact I go out of my way to go around intersections or dangerous expressways because I am afraid it will stop with her in the car. Please help!
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 20 MPH and accelerating from a stop light, the rpms revved highly, but the vehicle barely moved. The contact stated that the vehicle felt as if it jumped into gear and made the tires screech. The following day, while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle automatically shifted into neutral when the accelerator pedal was depressed. When the contact pulled the vehicle over, turned if off, and restarted it, the vehicle was able to shift into drive. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The dealer was contacted (russ darrow chrysler, jeep, dodge of west bend, 3210 w washington st, west bend, wi 53095) where it was determined that no recalls were associated with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
The vehicle will trigger transmission error. Will not disengage from park. The motor surges when downshifting causing a dangerous increase is speed. The vehicle will not start due to transmission error. Taken to dealer three times for software update. Does not resolve the problem.
The makes a rattling noise when it start for some reason , I don't know if it normal and while I'm driving and trying to accelerate it makes that noise to. It makes the noise every day .
Since day one of purchasing this vehicle, I have felt a lurch when I press the gas for acceleration. When pressing the gas, the vehicle will hesitate, then jump into motion. When going in low speeds it feels as if I have been rear ended. When I took this vehicle to the chrysler dealership, the service technician told me its just a glitch in this car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While attempting to shift the vehicle to the drive position, the gear became stuck in the neutral position without warning. The vehicle was unable to shut off due to the defect. The vehicle was taken to bayshore chrysler jeep dodge ram (5225 interstate 10 east, baytown, tx 77521), but the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
My 2015 chrysler 200 2.4l 45k would not shift from parking to drive, but sometimes it drives in reverse...
Vehicle in motion has unexpected shifting to neutral, jumps into gear when accelerating and decelerating. Vehicle wiring to airbags is damaged with no accident. Car power randomly powers off in motion. These issues have been ongoing for about 2 years now since I got the vehicle.
Car stalling out while driving. Stalled 4 times 12/10/17 then was driving rough, as I was going down the street the red lighting bolt came on along with the check engine light, parking light, traction control light. Went to the gas station to put gas in, started car and the car would not go into drive. It took around 8-10 minutes to get the car to go into drive. There was all kinds of warnings going across the screen saying electrical malfunction service immediately and transmission malfunction service immediately. So I take the car in and the TCM is needing replaced and the engine may need replaced. This is not ok for a 2015 car to have this many problems.
In late august 2017 I purchased this vehicle, within 60 days an alarm light came on and sounded off. I took the car into the service dept, and was told an adjustment was made and the car would be fine. A few days later the same thing happened, this time I was told the car needed a transmission; a 4 was put in the car instead of a 2 and it would be 6 months to a year before the part would be available, because there was a back order on this particular item. Due to manufacturing, this is a wide spread issue and there is no recall, the cars are being repaired as they are brought in. I was also told to continue driving the car I should not have any other problems other than the car may stall. Well, the gears are starting to slip and it takes a couple seconds to get in gear when pulling off from an idle position, along with that the alarms are still going off. The issue that the car could just cut off in the middle of driving is unnerving by itself. I no longer feel like I have a safe vehicle to drive. I can't continue putting myself at risk. The car is still under the full warranty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 45 MPH, the service transmission warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to garden city jeep chrysler dodge ram (283 n franklin st, hempstead, ny 11550, (516) 336-4712) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. Additionally, on several occasions while attempting to make a 3-point turn, the vehicle was shifted into reverse but failed to respond. The contact turned the vehicle off and back on, and the vehicle operated as intended. The contact stated that the failure recurred five to six times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
The car wouldn't start and then it disabled itself. Finally able to get it started, it's started flashing through out the dash about the key-fob, replaced the batteries, that didn't fix it. Then it started appearing to be neutral while driving, the engine malfunction light came on, but there was no code. Restarted the car, mil off. Didn't drive for several days, had a difficult time trying to start the car, the car didn't want to reverse. Wouldn't go over 32 MPH. Turned off restarted was able to go 50 MPH. The mil was on, was able to a diagnostic reading - see attached. My dash is lite up like christmas. It is flashing transmission errors and parking brake errors. Why wasn't I notified the recall for this vehicle? I took car to the dealership the week of thanksgiving as this first stated 11/24/2017
Transition will slip on takeoff and will allow the car to roll forward on a hill when placed in park.
On november 29, 2017 at approximately 5:15 pm, was driving approximately 25mph in traffic on a two lane. I hit the brake to stop, no brakes, and I hit the person in front of me. After hitting them, I bounced off and continued to move with no brakes. My airbags did not deploy and I sustained injuries to me chest, neck, head and back. I was able to steer the car in the right side lane and eventually was able to steer into a parking lot; still with no brakes. I looked down to pull up the emergency brake and saw the shifter in neutral. I then put the shifter in park and the car finally stopped. I do not yet have the police report. I did not receive a ticket, but was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
9-speed automatic transmission shifts extremely hard in gears 1-5. Also lunges on downshifts. Software updates and new valve body have not fixed the problem. Dealer now states nothing else can be done since no check engine data can be found.
The transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, and as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift to neutral. The car is shaking right after I refilled the gas to full. I have been to the dealer to have the same problem fixed over 5 times. However, the same problem occured the next day after I was told the problem was fixed. I was driving the vehicle on the high way. All of a sudden, the transmission broke down and the car lost its power.
