Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. When coming to a complete stop and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would continue to roll. In addition, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal and would accelerate without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed as needing a software update. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,500.
Driving in traffic at 30 MPH approached traffic light with cars in front of me when my car down shifted to 5th gear it continued to pull the car at 20 MPH until I finally had to hit the brakes to stop it this is an intermitting problem this has happened before
Takata recall I started to notice that the vehicle would jerk when switching gears and would almost feel like it ran into a wall soon after I purchased it. Here recently it has happened a lot more frequently. I have taken the car to the dealer 3 separate times to see what the problem is. I was told they were unable to see the problem while they drove the vehicle so was unable to fix it. If I was able to make the problem happen I would as it happens sporadically!
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact was able to slow down the vehicle. Also, when moving from a stationary position, there was a hesitation before the transmission would engage. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The dealer stated that the vehicle operated as designed. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000. The VIN was not available.
My original transmission was replace once, approx. (1) year after purchase. Since then there have been several revisits with the dealer to check the transmission for erratic shifting and free wheeling down hills. They have upgraded the firmware because they had issues that I have been experiencing. When travel at 25 MPH the transmission will vibrate when shifting from 4th to 5th and back to 4th. When I come to a hill at 25 MPH in 5th gear, it will coast then upshift to 6th (with vibrations). At 59 MPH in 8th gear the car vibrates up to approx. 63 MPH. Chrysler customer assistance center were working with me until I expressed I need something to be done (not feeling safe in this car), they now are stating (frank-customer service supervisor) that because the dealer who inspected the vehicle (did not allow me to ride with him when he did a test drive), cannot find anything wrong, the case will be closed. I received a communication stating that the case is closed as of 6/20/16. It is very apparent that chrysler is now in a damage control since I asked to speak with a "chrysler representative", frank suggested that I would not be allowed to speak to him because they do not deem the issue to warrant such a conversation. He also suggested that if I wanted a second opinion from another dealer, I would have to pay for the service cost. Frank also wanted to know who told me about the "chrysler representative"? I do not feel safe driving a car that vibrates and free wheels at low speeds and high speeds. It is very obvious there is an issue and chrysler wants me to go away.

The vehicle has just shut down in midst of driving no warning nearly rear ended on three occasions. Then will not shift into any gear it has been sent for repair twice. I am afraid to drive it again in fear of being in an accident due to vehicle shutting down with no warning. Vehicle is always in motion when this happens on busy city streets, when driving or turning. Please help! This is the 3rd episode 3/24/16, 4/16/16, 4/23/16
"takata recall" on or about 8/25/15, I purchased w/warranty a 2015 chrysler 200 (used). The car shut down while @ a traffic light. On or about 10/11/15. Towed to fulton dodge, jeep, chrysler, sacto. Ca. For "recall repairs" I experienced the car making forward jerking motions when downshifting & coming to a stop on numerous occasions, again on or about nov. 2015, I were at a local grocery store when the car would not start, and was towed to elk grove dodge, jeep chrysler for further diagnostic and repairs. The car after several weeks driving started jerking upon downshifting and would skip the #2 gear. The vehicle in question was brought back into elk grove dodge, jeep chrysler for further transmission & software repairs on or about dec. 2015. Several letters and emails had been written to chrysler corporation complaining about the matter. A "lemon law" complaint had been filed march 2016, settled on or about 4/13/16 with fca., buying back the chrysler, and reimbursement of payments made, except reimbursement for keeping the car insured, I've yet to be notified when and where to return the "coffin" chrysler. My life has been in jeopardy from day of purchase.
Takata recall well I guess I'll join in with the rest. My 200 is just about a year old. I have just a little over 10,000 miles on it. Been back to dealer twice with same problem. Speeds up when braking at about 35 MPH. Then when accelerating engine dies and vehicle slows down....then speeds up. 1st time they downloaded an update... 2nd time they said nothing wrong that they could find. (according to diagnostic codes) I like my car.. Let me know when they finally get a fix for this. This is on rural country roads mountainous and hilly. Itbis dangerous.

I have recall notice 15v‑470 in which I have contacted gladstone dodge several times and I'm being told that "the power distribution center electrical connector" is unavailable for order. I have been working on this issue since I received the notice and have contacted gladstone dodge on 2/2/16/ 2/12/16, and now again on 4/4/16. The dealership is not able to take names and contact customers because they don't know when to expect to be able to order the parts
The transmission went out the first day I leased the vehicle (3/27/2015). The transmission shifts very rough up and down. It will also jump gears on the downshift and propel the car. The transmission was replaced once. The issues are still present and it has stopped in the middle of traffic as a result of these issues just last week. A control module was replaced however, the other listed issues still exist.
I purchased the car and not 6 months later they did a recall on it. After this the car would always completely skip second gear when downshifting. So bad that it shutters back and forth when stopping, which startles me and sometimes its hard to run into people or objects. I have made several attempts to have chrysler fix the problem but they tell me it's fine. The service people all agree that it's a huge problem but chrysler continues to cover this up. When slowing down to a slow roll, a yield, and turning left or right, the car shifts erratically. The car will be in 3rd gear, when it's supposed to be in second gear but it won't downshift, the car will literally propel you when there is a slight acceleration of the gas pedal because it shifts into first like you're in a race car. At this point it's hard to maintain being in the lane you're trying to be in. Not only is this a huge safety concern but also nobody wants to ride in my new car because the ride is so rough. It's appointing and absolutely unethical the way chrysler is treating me. I bought this car with money I saved from deploying to afghanistan and all for nothing. When I think about trading the car in, chrysler dealerships tell me that they have to give me even less money for the car because it shifts how it does even though chrysler says it's shifting as intended. I've been dealing with this extremely erratic shifting for a year now. Also when you're slowing down to a stop and don't stop completely the car will do a burnout at times, obviously launching you forward. In the snow and ice the car will downshift violently and causing the car to start sliding down hills. All these issues happen at low speeds from 2-5 MPH.
Transmission was replaced due to recall now the gears dont shift right it vibrates and the car jumps forward on its own and takes off like a rocket sometimes in reverse I talked to chrysler they had me bring it back to the dealer as I was driving on a city street the front axle came apart I had it towed they fixed the axle but not the transmission no fix is available is what they said then the left axle started popping I took it back the left strut had to be replaced but still no fix for transmission and its gotten worse.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle jerked when it was restarted. The contact was able to resume driving. In addition, each time the vehicle was driven, it jerked. The vehicle was repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v470000 (electrical system); however, the failure recurred twice. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,185.
Transmission lurching during braking or stopping, jerking when up shifting or accelerating while stopped
The transmission does not shift correctly after having an update done to the TCM and PCM. The transmission had no issues before this occurred and now it shifts horribly while lunging forward coming to stops. Upon deceleration, it will not shift down from 3rd gear until the car is almost completely stopped then downshifts to 1st gear lunging the car forward. Even after stopping, the transmission will sometimes lag on take offs for 2-3 seconds then take off like the torque converter is not functioning properly. I have taken it back three times to have this issue fixed, two times they tried re-updating it and the third time replacing my PCM but nothing has changed this shifting. In fact, after the PCM replacement, the transmission seems to slip in 8th and 9th gears around 1750 rpms. It will also delay shifting up when climbing even the slightest grade even though the car is running at high rpms (5000-7000). This has been an ongoing process since the first update was performed in the midst of front hub replacement back in october or november with no ideas on how to remedy this situation. The car is less than a year old and has already been to the shop 7 times for reoccurring problems.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the transmission began to jerk when shifting from first gear to second gear. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was in operation and driving low speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the transmission ecu was reprogrammed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 6,200.
I have been having tranmission issues I have already taken it 3 times to do an update and the transmission is still shifting rough in 30 or 40 MPH it only has 5000 miles
I purchased this vehicle used on 02/04/2016, and drove it off the lot the following day. I noticed almost immediately a defect in the transmission. During deceleration preceding a full stop, the transmission causes the vehicle to buck forward unexpectedly and substantially, which could cause potential injury or damage to any person or object that may appear in front of the vehicle at a moment when the vehicle has not yet come to a complete stop, but has slowed to a point where the vehicle appears to make no further forward momentum. This, along with the constant annoyance of anticipating and experiencing an uncontrolled forward moving thrust, compels me to file this report. Please note that I returned this vehicle following my complaint. The transmission was subsequently replaced which did not resolve the issue, but in fact continues to worsen with continued use.
I was driving my brand new chrysler 200 that I bought 4 months prior and it was completely shutting off in the middle of the road... I lost control of steering until it shut completely off so I could restart it. Very scary when you have your newborn baby and 10 year old in that back seat. Not once did a check engine light come on or any sensor come on to tell me that my vehicle had no oil in it. So I believe the engine, electrical, and sensors are all messed on this vehicle. I do not feel like I should be stuck with it because in the back of my head I no longer feel safe in this vehicle. I am reaching out for help because chrysler won't and I have owned this care since august and it was in shop for 17 days in january, I have it back but I still don't think it's running correctly.
Before reaching 1000 miles, I knew that there were terrible problems with the engine: jerking, hesitating and stalling. These engine/transmission problems make my car unsafe to drive as we have experienced several close encounters with accidents as a result of these defective problems!!. I have complained to our dealership where I purchased my car. But for some reason they couldn't get me in to check on my vehicle because of so many of the same issues I was told & also stated that it wasn't their fault to check with chrysler corp?? Since then was almost killed twice (my whole family)!! Merging onto I-20 in georgia, going about 50 while merging when there was a tractor trailer moving up quickly in my rear view mirror I hit the gas but nothing happened!!! I started yelling oh my god my kids screamed daddy my wife screaming then, the car shuts off so now im without power, the truck started laying on his horn then there was blue smoke from the tires of the truck!! "twice" this has happened!!! Other incidents, while pulling up to a stop sign or stop light while slowing to stop it would jerk then speed up sometimes throwing me into on coming traffic!! Something has to happen!! This car is a death trap!!
