2015 Chrysler 200 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 24: complaints 41 to 70 of 695, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1) I believe there is a problem with my transmission shifting gears. I am willing to have it inspected. 2) There is a sudden and violent shift that happens when shifting between 3rd - 5th gear I believe but it's random, only a couple of times a month. I have had people with me and they thought I hit a deep pothole or hit something with my car like a small animal. 3)The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealership. 4) My car has not been inspected by any of the above except a dealership years ago when I mentioned it but nothing was found. My car model and year have a few recalls and transmission is one but no recalls have been issued for my specific car yet. I check yearly. 5) I do not get any warning lights, messages, or symptoms, my car just violently shifts from time to time when shifting into 3rd - 5th gear. My car does sometimes get an AWD service light that comes and goes and never lasts more than a couple of days. The research I did online said that's normal for the 200 and not to worry if it doesn't stay lit. I am not sure if this is a related issue, another issue, or just a thing the 200 does as mentioned online. The car had this problem since I purchased it in 2017 but the dealership I purchased it from was in a different state so taking it back wasn't an option. I had mentioned the issue to a Chrysler dealership years ago while getting an oil change but no issue was found. 6) How fast were you going? I think it's between 3rd and 5th gear so like 25-45 mph I think. 7) About how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident? My 200C has had this consistently since I got the car with around 10,000 miles and my car now has about 82,000 miles on it and just did the violent shift recently. There is no warning or pattern as to when it will happen except that it happens between 3rd-5th gear and it doesn't matter the time of the year or the weather.
My vehicle has 3 recalls on it that are essential to the safety of the driver and those in the vehicle with the driver and they are refusing to cover this because I am not the original owner. I feel like this is not right considering that this is a Chrysler issue and they should be responsible for it. The car cuts off without warning due to the recall issue I could be on the highway, in a parking lot or just cruising in my neighborhood and it cuts off,
Airbag light stays on Transmission service light comes on when driving and vehicle stalls
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to downshift and was jerking and hesitating. There was no warning light illuminated.

Any time I am coming to a stop from 40/45 mph the car would accelerate although I am breaking! This is not safe. It happens randomly while driving I could be in traffic and it will accelerate soon as I put my foot on the break.
I was barely coming off of the freeway during traffic hour when my dashboard randomly indicated to shift into parking gear, which I did, and then the car turned off on me right before at the top of a downhill. I couldn't shift into neutral and couldn't get the car to turn back on. There I was in the hot weather with a car in the middle of the road right off of the freeway exit without a clue as to what happened. I had to get towed and the vehicle is now at the dealer; they won't be able to take a look at it until 5 days after the occurrence.
Son was driving car and pulled out of gas station and heard a loud "bang" from under the hood and the car immediately died and he had to coast into a safe spot off of the street. Check Engine light came on and message "Service Transmission". Will not move forward now and whirring noise when placed into Drive. Towed to transmission shop that said there were several Transmission codes (TCM Monitor Processing and TCM Failure Undetected). The car has 59000 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing. Similar to other complaints seen on here for the 2015 Chrysler 200.
On 5/8 a conversation took place with a Chrysler Customer Service representative which was recorded. The representative acknowledged that the TCM going out is common due to the Transaxle Control Harness recall. The representative acknowledged this has not become a recall yet but this is a known problem and issue with the vehicles.

This car is totally unsafe and is going to cause serious injury. When initially trying to accelerate this car jerks uncontrollably and doesn’t go. It stalls something serious then all of a sudden propels itself forward into traffic!!! Making other ppl swerve around me frantically. I can’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign then go when it’s my turn without the car talking a big stalling leap of death. Not to mention when coming to a stop it often cuts off due to something being wrong with the oil system causing it to burn too much oil. I’ve never had a car that I had to put oil in continuously even though my oil changes (via Chrysler) are on time. Horrible thing is Chrysler says they know the car does this but won’t FIX IT!!! This lemon is going to take me out.
I purchased this car a yr ago and have complained about the transmission since the beginning along with oil issues and power issues. They refused to fix it. The car downshifts and throws itself forward and it's almost caused numerous accidents. There's times the car will not go forward and when you hit the gas a little it revs and shoots forward. It's very unsafe and I can't even drive it. I'm paying for a car that's very unsafe
Multiple times, regardless of repairs done. The transmission keeps hard shifting in and out of 5th gear. One time to the point where I couldn't shifts gears (stuck in 4th) and was stuck at speeds under 45 mph on a busy freeway.

Unknown. When stopped or while slow down to turn out after trarrfic is clear when I put my foot on the gas it doesn’t go, like the transmission is slipping. then after a while it allows me to put my foot on the gas and proceed driving
there have been recalls to other chrysler 200 for these reasons. I am having issues with all of these and no recall. Steering linkage or strut issue The electrical goes out on the dash and console of the car. cannot use air or any of the buttons Warning light to check gas cap Power terrain was fixed once and it came back the same way Tire pressure also not working
I own a 2015 Chrysler 200S With 27,000 miles on it and I’m currently having the transmission completely replaced due to failure. The automotive shop that is working on the vehicle tells me that the transmission fluid is completely burnt and has metal in it. There was never any warning signs that there was a condition going on until the day that the car went in the shop and the transmission light came on. I have the car at the dealership in November 2021 and all they could tell me at the time was that this particular model car tends to shift hard When I complained to them about the issues I was having. I feel like the dealership should have looked further into the matter because now I am spending $6000 to replace the transmission.
The car says service transmission while driving and automatically shuts down while still in drive you can’t put the car into any other gear and actually have to shut the car off while still in drive . The car when restarted is stuck in park . Extremely dangerous situation when traffic is directly behind you and the car just stops . Car has been taken to the nearest repair shop and I’m waiting on inspection
Let me start by saying I was in love with my 200S but lately she been acting up. 1) I was driving on multiple occasions now when I’ll hear a chim sound(Warning light with nothing laminated on the dashboard) car loses all power and shuts off completely no matter where on the freeway and surface streets 2mins later car starts up. The latest incident came a week ago when I was pulling in a drive way car shut off completely while traffic was coming almost causing a major crash (Thank God Nobody didn’t get hurt) other motorists got out to help push it to safety. There’s been multiple occasions while driving the car starts shaking bad as if it’s going to stall check engine light comes on..I pull over scan for codes nothing pops up ,I then check connectors and fluids etc unscrewed the gas cap Redo it ,car starts up I drive home safely (No more stalling feeling or bad shaking) Mechanic run diagnostics No Error codes appear . 2) Airbags senor come on and off for no reason which scares the heck out of me to drive it not knowing if they’ll actually protect me or not if I need it too. It’s been almost 2 car payments since I drove it.Due to safety fears because I travel with Kids 3) it’s hard to pick up speed when trying to accelerate My car is now at 99K miles and I have been going through these issues probably since 73K miles

I have had my 2015 Chrysler 200 for about a year now and ever since I have had it. it has acted weird. Evetime I am driving down a hill at a slow pace, i loose power as if my car just switched to Neutral. It also jerks a lot when I am stopped on a hill going up and I start to go, then it will jerk like its delayed in the gears. I am very concerned for my safety. I have seen other recalls similar to this and I am hoping we can get this one on a recall as well. I have not had my car inspected yet because I cant afford it.
