Car is stalling for unknown reason without any warning or light appearing on dash. Feeling unsafe especially when driving on the highway because I never know when it will happen. Has been happening every day for the past 3 days. Happened in the beginning after a couple months of having the car and the first time I took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong or replicate the problem.
About 2 weeks ago , my car began malfunctioning and randomly shutting off while driving. The car gives no indication that there is an issue before hand which is dangerous. It has happened to me while entering the freeway and while on regular streets. In addition, when this happens, my gearshift somehow gets stuck which makes me unable to move the car. Sometimes I cannot turn the car off, it would get stuck running. The shift would malfunction illuminating other shifts even though it is stuck. This issue has happened to me again in the wee hours of this morning at 3am on a dark road. I feared for me life… I see that this is an ongoing issue in many complaints that I see but there has been no resolve from the manufacturer. Please help.
My car has shut off several times after starting. I have had to turn the car on and then turn it back on. The car has shut off on me a few times while driving. I just purchased this car as used in August of this year (2021). I am afraid this issue could happen while on the highway while cars are going at a high rate of speed. This most recent incident was today as I was going off to work.
The Chrysler 200's engine keeps suddenly shutting off while driving, mainly while making turns on streets and freeway on/off ramps. There are no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problem. Sometimes the vehicle may just stall, most other times it just turns off and asks that I switch the shifter to park to then turn the vehicle back on. This issue is very concerning as it’s dangerous for the vehicle to shut down in traffic and could prove fatal.

My car is using an excessive amount of oil. I did an oil change on April 4th and by May 4th my car was telling me I need an oil change. I had not even driven it the recommended 3,000 miles before doing an oil change. I added the 1 1/2 quarts of oil that my car showed was low and had only driven it for a 2 hour trip before it needed oil again. It also smelled like it was burning.
This Chrysler 200 will stop while I am driving for no reason!

Continuously burns oil. Has no alert for when oil is low. Engine shuts off on hard turn when oil low.
Vehicle stalling while decelerating but restarts.
On a highway while about to cross an intersection the engine just shuts off when taking off. The engine hesitates and dies with no check engine lights or anything. Taking away power steering and making it harder to stop due to the engine not running.
If the car is sitting in park while the card is running it will switch to neutral and the emergency brake comes on by itself
Sudden loss of engine when making hard turns the car completely dies out and locks my steering and puts the car into a full break lock this leads to me having to try to start my car multiple times this is very dangerous considering this could be fatal when it does out I've had problems with this car and have brought it in multiple times with no fix
Car stalls loses power dies in the middle of intersections and busy highways has very high oil consumption no low oil indicator light has ever been displayed I have almost lost my life my children's lives even my family and friends lives due to this issue it's also causing me lots of extra expenses which might I say have gotten very expensive time after time again replacing the burnt oil all the time tow truck fees mechanic fees hotel fees part fees rental car fees all because the manufacturer of this vehicle could care less the safety of the people should always be more important than anything else point blank.
Engine oil leak
As I was driving about 40mph and slowing down for a stop sign, the engine died out. Locking my brakes and my steering wheel. At this very moment the gear d was blinking on the dash and telling me to put the vehicle in park. The vehicle was disables and the ignition would not start the car until after several minutes and multiple attempts. This has occurred a total of 5 times in the last 2 weeks. This is very dangerous if it occurred while I'm on the freeway or in the middle of an intersection.
Several complaints to repair issue with acceleration and deceleration on vehicle. Randomly the vehicle will hesitate to accelerate from a stationary position. Engine, motor mounts and transmission have been replaced and issue remains. Vehicle will also hesitate to start causing me to have to try again to start the vehicle. Battery has had to be replaced twice.
Engine stated overheating. Sometimes will not start and acts as if it will shut off while driving. I was told the active grille shutter failed on the car and have only had it for 3 yrs. I see a lot of review on these parts failing meaning they were made poorly. You don't know if the vehicle is going to cut off on you while your driving due to the air not being filtered to the engine. I feel like this is a safety hazard and should not have failed this fast.

Bought the car used in march of 2019. It is now spetember and I have had to change the oil 5 times just to keep the car running. It gives no indication of low oil. If I wasn't checking the fluid levels I most certainly would not have figured this out.
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.

Vehicle was in motion going up a hill while driving to work . The vehicle stalled and shut off while other cars were behind me . This happen at least three times while driving to work before I decided to take the vehicle to chrysler for a diagnostic check up . Dealership service department decided to give me a tune up after paying 600 dollars to fix the problem . Several months later I continued to have issues with the vehicle stalling while driving. Later on chrysler service told me my engine was shot due to anti freeze in the engine oil compartment . Now I have no car and a 6600.00 dollar maintenance quote to get a new engine .
