Chrysler 200 slipping problems

Filed Dec 13, 2025 · Acceleration, Electrical · TX

While driving at approximately 60 MPH on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power, stalled, and entered "limp mode," shifting into neutral or a low gear unexpectedly. This failure caused a rapid deceleration in high-speed traffic, effectively disabling the vehicle and creating an immediate safety hazard and risk of collision. The engine stalled completely, requiring the vehicle to be coasted to the emergency shoulder. After a key cycle, the vehicle restarted but the check engine light remained illuminated. Independent diagnostic scanning retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) U0018 (Medium Speed CAN Communication Bus Short) and P0894 (Transmission Component Slipping). These specific codes and symptoms (intermittent electrical short causing stall/shift-to-neutral) are identical to the safety defects addressed in the federal safety agency Recall 15V‑470 (FCA Recall R24 - Power Distribution Center Electrical Connector) and the federal safety agency 16V‑529 (FCA Recall S55 - Transaxle Wiring Harness). Although records indicate Recall R24 was marked as "completed" on this vehicle in July 2015, the specific safety defect has recurred, presenting the exact same failure mode. The Authorized Dealer was contacted regarding the recurrence of this safety defect but refused to perform a no-charge inspection, citing an expired repair warranty. The Manufacturer (FCA US LLC) was also contacted to report the recurring safety failure but refused to open a case or authorize a diagnostic inspection, despite the life-threatening nature of the defect. The component and vehicle are available for inspection. The failure has not been resolved.

After my vehicle was recalled for the TCM, it has not worked properly. I almost got into an accident because the car seems to slip into neutral while driving. I will be driving and suddenly the power drops and then it pops back into drive if you press the gas hard enough. It's dangerous and embarrassing.

I purchased my car at the end of september 2017. About two weeks later my car just shut off in the middle of a busy intersection. I called baxter and explained my problem and icalleda tow truck. Later that day baxter called me back to inform me that my car had multiple recalls.they fixed the recalls and my car was good for awhile. I then started having a issue where my car would jerk hard when I would come to a stop. After I start researching my make and model of my car I start to read that just about every make and model and year of my car has the same issue. I call baxter again to make an appointment and explain what I read to them and they call me back and now say it's my battery. I get my car back it's still having the same problem. Expect now my car will just randomly shut off when I'm driving. They tell me to come back when I have drove it 1,000 miles. I did not wait 1,000 miles because I nanny and drive people's children in my car and it's completely unacceptable that my car shuts off when I drive and my transmission slips. I keep making appointments and finally they say it's my transmission so they have my car for about a week to put a new transmission in my car. My transmission still slips and it feels like someone is slamming into the back of me when I come to a stop. I have called baxtor multiple times since a new transmission has been put in and they tell me there is nothing more they can do with my vehicle and that the chrysler association told them to not perform anything else on my car because this is normal for my car to do this.
