The car originally would not start after several try's with the push start it started. However, the shift signal came up on the dashboard and the emergency brake light automatically came on, Once I pressed the brake it went off but none of the gear shift lights came on. Therefore, I was unable to drive or reverse the car it would not allow me to move forward or backward. The emergency brake light kept coming on when I pressed the gas. Also a message on the dash read emergency brake engaged for safety drive precautions.

Car shuts off while idle
My car stalls when cranking and has shut down before while on the interstate. I think it’s an electrical problem no signs on the dashboard and saying key fob not detected
I purchased this car new off the dealership showroom in summer of 2017. A couple days after having it, I was driving down a street in my hometown and the vehicle just shut completely off. I was in the middle of traffic and began to panic because I didn't want to get into an accident. I took the car to the dealership and they 'fixed' the issue. Shortly after, while at a stop light, the car shut off again in traffic and took a while to restart. Everything in the vehicle turns off. I again took it to the dealership and they 'fixed' the issue. Here we are just last week, 08/15/2020 and I'm driving on a major thru way and the vehicle cuts off again. There have never been any warning signs, lights on the dashboard/ reason for me to believe something was wrong. My vehicle barely has 50k miles. After looking up my VIN to see if there had been a recall (there isn't), I did notice that the year prior (2015) same make and model have a recall for the same electrical issue I've been complaining about. This matter is serious as the cars turns off unexpectedly and could cause a terrible accident. I will upload my paper work from the dealership the first 2x. I have not driven the vehicle since 8/15/20 as I'm afraid that someone will get hurt. I've called to report the issue at the 888 number listed but the phone just hangs up. At the time of purchase I lived in niagara falls, ny and purchased the vehicle from joe cecconi's chrysler complex. I currently live in charlotte, nc where the most recent incident occurred.
As I drove the vehicle off the lot located in modesto, ca I drove to my home address which is located in antioch, ca. On my way home the car started jerking when I notified the dealership they said they will fix it and to drop it back off. They had the vehicle for 7 days and did not fix a thing because the vehicle cuts off any power and gas control on the freeway.
The seat belt indicator stays on. Code u0001 only occurred at in & out inspections. Code u1504 steering angle sensor 3/2020.
When decelerating at either a red light or to turn, car will completely shut off with no warnings or check engine lights. This started almost a month ago. Then today everything locked up. All electrical lights came on along with the check engine light. There was no power when trying to get the vehicle back home. It should have been towed.
The car has to much torque that the vehicle slides and loses control and almost caused an accident. The steering is to lose when I turn it moves to quick and the movement of the vehicle can't catch up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. The contact stated that the vehicle leaked transmission fluid and would intermittently stall while traveling over 40 MPH. In addition, the traction warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,647.
Ive had a chrysler before. I suspected the newer model to be improved... Unfortunately for me its jerking like the older model after having tune ups done twice. Also its going dead when I turn left and giving me a message (performance shift disabled) to put it in park and turn it back on. The bad part is im always entering an busy interstate. Its been doing this now for two weeks. The jerking of the vehicle is way to familiar to me. My last chrysler once it started it got worst and worst as was unable to drive then I found out about the recall on the vehicle.
