Takata recall. My car sometimes has a hard time changing gears, it's almost like it gets stuck in neutral sometimes and wont properly accelerate. I was not in city limits it happens constantly when I first start to drive my vehicle (mostly when I'm within my own personal driveway) and I have not been in any fatal accidents nor have I been in a near accident. The only reason I am reporting this issue is because I have seen this occuring issue with other cars the same as mine model/year wise and was wondering if my specific vehicle had been looked at for these potential recalls.
2015 Chrysler 200 transmission complaints

First, there is the HVAC/windshield defrost. My concern with that condition is that my vehicle is my main source of travel and to have the HVAC to work properly in the summer is vital as well, as having a clear windshield. A breakdown at night, an accident, hitting a pole hole, something or someone would be far worse than a mere inconvenience. Incidentally, my intended use of the vehicle was made quite clear to the sales staff when I bought it. Second, and the matter of far greater concern to me is the transmission. Car making clucking noise, vibrating, jerking while shifting gears and launching while driving as if someone hit me from the back. Third, vehicle is only 2 years old and has had to have the drive shaft replaced. Which in return I've been without vehicle for more then 14 days and occur extra expenses of car rentals, tires and wheel alignment due to irregular wear. Fourth, hesitation on attempt to accelerate. I was informed that issue would be resolved with replacement of drive shaft. Defective drive shaft was the reason for delay and jerking. Fifth, excessive gas burning. I was informed that exist because of drive shaft. Once drive shaft was replaced it didn't resolve issue. I was giving a formula to calculate gas mileage, which was given to dealer. Car averaging 16mpg. Per car sticker fuel economy: highway 29/ city 18. Car is driven mostly on highway without a lot of stop and go traffic.
Stalls shifts, shifts hard won't go to park stays in neutral. Went for recall dealer said I just need the update. Car is still acting the same after recall. Feel very unsafe when car stalls on highway and busy streets.
Transmission may shift unexpectedly to neutral causing a loss of motive power. The loss of motive power could cause a crash without warning. The incidents always involve shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. All 6 or 7 incidents that happened from january to october occurred on city streets.
Everything that is wrong with my car is currently under what has been recalled however my VIN [xxx] does not state there is a recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
As I was on my way to work at 5:30 am this car stalled and told me to pull over, turn off engine and place in park. I live in country so there was nothing but a back country road. The car would not start at all would not shift into park, I called my husband to come help me. He had to pull both battery terminals off and reconnect them. After I was 2 hours late to work the car finally started again. Since this incident this has happened 3 more times at different times of day.

Takata recall! My chrysler has been shutting off and losing power. It is hard to restart it and it says put it park. No warning lights and it beeps when I turn.
Transmission shifts hard lurches forward when trying to stop doesn't respond at acceleration loses power when trying to pull out in traffic chrysler says I need to put new tires on the car to correct the transmission
Twice I've had my kids in the car and have had this car stall out on me in motion and it is definitely a safety issue

2015 chrysler 200 have had nothing but trouble with the car since purchase. Transmission runs very rough, car jerks, shifts gears unexpectedly, engine shuts off while driving. 9/29/17 engine shut off while driving and car hit a curb. Have taken to the dealership over and over and they say nothing is wrong with the car and have not noted in my file that I have complained about transmission problems. Was contacted by chrysler engineers that were doing a study on the transmission problems and wanted me to test drive a newer model to compare. They admitted chrysler knew about problems with this model but have been unable to get chrysler to admit or buy back the vehicle
Transmission makes hard shifts. It is the 9 speed automatic transmission. Vehicle has the 3.6 v6. Hard shifts come at any speed. Between I think 3rd and 6th gear. It doesn't matter if your are casually driving or press on the accelerator to speed up fast. It is a jolt that you never expect. We complained about it once. They said they had done an update and it seemed better. Now it is out of the bumper to bumper warranty and it is doing it again rather frequently. Like 3-4 times a day. Unsure what to do. When it happens it feels like the transmission is going to fall out. Feels scary. Usually going straight probably between 25-40 MPH. I selected date below. But this has occurred since about 3 months after purchase and continues.
Bought new. Car has 37000 miles so out of 36000 mile warranty. Engine just started cutting off while driving. Nearly caused an accident several times. Dealer says there is no recall even though we showed them there is a recall for this issue.
While turning onto the on ramp of the freeway one morning, the car engine shut off. I had to quickly get out and push the car out of the lanes. The car prompted shift to park and attempted to restart. After some time approximately 2 to 3 minutes trying to start, the vehicle started back up. The lights were dimmer and power was weak. Drove about a mile (at 32mph as the max speed the car would allow) and it shut off again. Once again prompting to shift to park. The vehicle restarted with no issue this time. Made it to the front of my house, 3 miles away from where it stopped the second time, and it stopped again.

Transmission is unsafe. Very choppy. Stalls on acceleration which is very dangerous to pass. "hesitates". Will sometimes shift into neutral. "lurches" forward. Very obviously not a good transmission, passengers in the car are very aware of the choppy transmission gear changes.
Engine intermittently turns off whenever I slow dow, turn a corner or stop. A indicator comes on stating t9 put the car in park to start when I was I'm drive..happens without any warning
Vehicle wouldn't accelerate when pedal was pushed, then jerked and took off. Vehicle began accelerating quickly while in cruise control mode. Started having problems with the push start button, wouldn't not do anything when pressed.
Ive been havng problems with my vehicle since I first purchased. The car slips gears and takes off and stagger while on highway. Ive made several attempts to have problem fixed by chrysler. I was told that the transmission doesn't match with software and chrysler is looking to fix issue in the future. Thecar feels really unsafe. After doing research, I also noticed that this car was sold to me way above price that was offered to others. I also feel that the contract is no longer valid as the car dealership requested a certain amount to pay off my trade in. I later found that the amount was nearly $300 less than the requested amount. I was told that any excess fund will be released to me. Its been over a year and I have yet to receive the refund.
Mostly hwy driving~engine light comes on, transmission light is on and vehicle speed decreases, unable to accelerate. When I come to a complete stop, most times the screen will reset, the engine light will go off with in the next day or two. Stored codes have been p1da9, p073e. I've taken the care to the dealer, software reset-only solved the problem for a short time. Searched for recall by vehicle and there are at least 7, but when searching by VIN # states none. This has happened numerous time but I will enter most recent date with complaint
I have had my chrysler 200 for over a year now and when I drive and push pedal to accelerate and seems like it goes to neutral so engine revs and suddenly kicks into gear I am concerned that this will lead to a crash also today a light came on indicating to check passanger airbag. At this point I do not feel safe in my car and it is the only vehicle I own

Transmission shifting issues on 1st gear and when downshifting this is a known problem even in the dealership the mechanics said this is a recall in progress but no website not even mopar shows this recall; it is a known issue and chrysler is evading it. I have taken my car there twice and they do nothing and tell me to wait for the recall letter; it is unacceptable. The car will over rev and shift abruptly taking off or downshifting I feel like I will hit another car one of this days or have an accident. See attached files I have contacted mopar and the dealership twice with no results.
My vehicle lost power (stalled) while I was turning a corner.

My vehicle lost power while I was waiting at a stop light.
I purchased the vehicle froma local certified dealer in the end of april 2017 in may I had to have it towed to there location becasue the vehicle wouldnt turn on or respond they claimed it was the battery but ever since then the car been shifting weird the told me it need to be taken to a chrysler dealership. Just last week (july 4th weekend) I was driving to a friends house when the car wouldnt go past 35mph as soon as I stoped the vehicle stalled. Itried to turn it on but it wont and it kept the starter even tho I let off the start button. I was scared to think it may cause a fire. 2 days after that I got the sama situation but this time the display would not work and the car stalled again resulting me to apply the hazards and try to avoid to get hit by vehicles. I have a current vedeo that show what it was doing
