What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chrysler 200. The contact stated that the starter failed twice and the vehicle was unable to be started. On a different occasion, the vehicle would not shift into park. The vehicle was towed to bob moore chrysler dodge jeep ram of tulsa (4627 s memorial dr, tulsa, ok 74145, (918) 663-6343). The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.
Service air bag system and service parking brake notifications appeared as well as the check engine light car would not shift, the screen went in and out while the vehicle loss power and wouldn't move. The transmission just reved this car has major issues all of this happed while driving.
I was coming to a stop at a stop sign, I was at about 15mph when the dash lights came on. The parking brake activated and the transmission dropped out of gear as I came to a skidding halt. Service transmission and service parking brake messages came up on the dash. Then wouldn't shift into any other gears even with the transmission override pulled. Luckily I was on a quieter road in my town.
Bought this 2016 chrysler 200 s 4 cyclinder in july 2016 with only 4900 miles on it. Car was a dealer program car still under factory warranty. Today, 8/22/2016 at 6157 miles the car stalled while my teenage sons (3 of them) were driving on city streets to school (this is the car they drive everyday). The car stalled while driving three separate times losing all power with a message in the dash reading "shift to p". Once shifted to park the car did start but only after making an odd noise while pushing in the ignition button. Needless to say this is extremely dangerous to have a car lose power while on the road especially with new teenage drivers. Bought this car in large part because of its safety ratings but this clearly is the exact opposite of safe. I will take to dealer in the morning to see what they say. Lots of other complaints about same issue although most seem to be with the 2015 not 2016. Nonetheless, how can one feel safe again putting their children behind the wheel? No idea what caused this issue. The drivetrain does not shift smoothly either particularly when transitioning from reverse to drive when coming to complete stop.
