2016 Chrysler 200 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 63, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle loss motive power with the accelerator pedal depressed. The service transmission soon warning light was illuminated. The contact activated the hazard light on and coasted to the shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle was turned off and restarted but failed to resume normal operation. After waiting for several hours, the vehicle was restarted and operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer griffin's hub chrysler jeep dodge ram (5700 s 27th st, milwaukee, wi 53221, 414) 253-3878) several times for software updates to the TCM. Additionally, the battery was replaced. The failure recurred intermittently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
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.
While driving the car will lose power. Dashboard says to put the vehicle in drive, which it is already in drive because I'm driving down the road. I have to put it in park, shut off the engine, wait a few seconds and restart the car. This happens whether I'm in a parking lot or on a main road in traffic. First time it happened (a few weeks ago) I was in traffic on a main road and I had just stopped at a stop light. Today it happened after I pulled into a parking lot and started to pull into a parking spot.
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.
Tl* the contact's husband owns a 2016 chrysler 200. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal grinding noise when depressing the brake pedal without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they found no defects with the vehicle. Soon after the inspection, the contact then stated that her daughter had informed her that the oil and the transmission warning lights illuminated. The contact had called ferman chrysler jeep dodge ram ' wesley chapel(24314 fl-54, lutz, fl 33559) where they were informed that a service manager would call them back; the contact had yet to hear back from the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
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 .
I have been informed that I need engine and transmission mounts due to jerkiness in car. I have also had issues with the car shutting off at lights, or any driving situation where I may be at standstill waiting to proceed. Ex: traffic clearing or waiting for parking space. At times it take 3-4 tries before it restarts and there is no warning that it is going to cut off. Lastly, the electrical systems inside car are unstable. The air bag light goes on and off, the bluetooth connection for phone isn't always reliable. Overall I am disappointed and wish I was in position to trade it in. Please encourage people to note issues they are having as well.

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.
Car has shut off while driving last few weeks. It happened. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 MPH, it has happened while trying to merge onto the freeway. The car just stalls, says "place in p to start" and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. This has happened with several cars behind me and have almost been rear ended because of it. Took it to the dealship but, all they told me to do was track my oil changes but, the problem still remains.

My car is struggling with starting. Multiple times it has left me stranded. First trip to dealership, they stated it needed a computer update. The problem got worse after the computer update and begin happening more and more often. Gives me a "service transmission" message. It's only at 67,000 miles and I havent owned it a year. Very frustrated. It is going back to the dealership tomorrow!
2016 chrysler 200 s with 94,000 miles shifts hard between gears, often feeling/sounding like it is slamming into gear. It surges when stopped at lights or stop signs and bucks and jerks during rapid acceleration.

The failure occurred in the middle of traffic and the vehicle was almost struck by another vehicle. All the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 40,000. Dealer has fixed the problem (supposedly) concerning the computer malfunctions. Now there is an air bag problem which will be taken to the dealer friday. Transmission continues to jolt and almost stall out.
The transmission will change gear unexpectedly. Cause my car to jerk shake and unusual long delay to accelerate at times even rev high while prolonged delay before accelerating. This has caused multiple situations that made the safety of driving this vehicle unpredictable and a hazard for me and other motorist.
My 2016 chrysler 200 stalls randomly in traffic on the highway. I was on my way home from ocean city, md when I hit traffic at the bay bridge. I was trying to switch lanes when I noticed my power steering was not working followed by a message on the screen stating to put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. Vehicle restarted but was not shifting correctly. Happened a second time in a similar situation. This is a major safety hazard. I don't even know where to begin looking for the problem because there is no check engine light indicating what is happening.
Stop and go traffic for about 20 mins, once I entered the intersection the vehicle completely stopped without warning. I could not locate the emergency release to place the vehicle in neutral. Car sat in the intersection got 1.5 hours.
My car suddenly turned off as I was making a turn. I have fixed the car 2 times from the same thing and this will be the 3rd. I want to see if there's something associated with a recall about the computer module. It stalls to turn on, and when it does it won't go as far as a mile

This evening when driving my car the vehicle stalled out and cut off a number of three times within a 10 minute span. Once while making a right turn out of the parking lot of my job, second when coming to a full stop at the parking lot entrance and last as I was begining the merge onto the highway from an on ramp. The day prior the car shut off completely a total of 5 times at various points throughout the day. My vehicle is regularly maintained by the service department where I purchased my vehicle brand new. There were no warning light or indicators that there was an issue. The only notification was to "shift car to park to start engine". This issue nearly caused a major accident when attempting to merge onto the highway this evening. This is highly concerning as this issue could potentially cost my family or myself our lives should the vehicle shut off at the wrong moment. I've searched numerous sites about this problem and it appears there are a lot of people experiencing this issue with the same year and model as well as ones produced prior to 2016. This concern is life threatening and should be treated as such with some form of remedy from the manufacturer.
My chrysler 200 started shifting really hard and as you're driving down the road you can feel it jerking. I called the chrysler dealership that is local to me took it in they only drove at 3 miles and decided there was nothing wrong with it except for a software update. I paid $132 for a labor charge for a software update that never fix the problem. Took it back 2 days later they can't diagnose it with spark plug issues. Paid $160 for spark plugs and labor just to have the same problem. They still after a week later have no idea what is wrong with my car. Just wondering what kind of technicians actually work for chrysler.
This is [xxx]. How can a vehicle 2 years old have so many transmission issues to even count on one hand? I've been able to research hundreds of other examples of this very identical vehicle display the exact same issues my car exemplifies. Are you guys just waiting for a tragic death to occur? If so, how about you guys refund us and drive the vehicles around for a while until that death occur. The lowlifes at chrysler need to be sued and charged for neglect.
