Instrument panel lights and gauges flicker and moves simultaneous without any warning, transmission gave out at 97,528 miles. From what we were told it is a defect that those cars have. Also I'd point out I know a few people with same problem and they will document their complaints as well.car turns on and only moves in reverse, once you try to place it in drive it shuts off. Defective transmission. This happened to us while we were coming out of the highway and going to a red light stop. While we came to a complete stop the car shook real hard as if we hit something and shut off. We turned on car without a problem but as soon as we placed it in drive the same thing happened a big hit in engine and it shut off. Also aibag lights are on which ive heard means that they are faulty

After starting the car in a car park and driving a 100 feet, the transmission display showed that instead of being in drive, the vehicle was in gear 3. The dashboard mounted shift control does not easily move from drive to lock into gear 6 let alone getting all the way down to 3.

After several hours of driving on interstates at the various legal speed limits from central pennsylvania to massachusetts, the dashboard warning chime started, the information display showed that the blind spot detection system was inoperative and then the transmission down shifted to 3 resulting in excessive engine revs. Cruise control was engaged at the time, but the car was not going down a hill. The driver used the +/- shift control to return the car to gear 6. At the same time, the tire pressure monitor system said that it had failed and then recovered after five minutes. Eventually, the tpm system recovered as did the blind spot detection system. All of these problems have happened in the past individually, but on this trip they all happened at once. The car dealer could not detect any problem.

Vehicle randomly stalling after exiting freeway and coming to a stop. This problem is already addressed in problem #12, and could be a common problem that the dealer seems to not duplicate. I have been in phone tag with chrysler corp. 10 times between 4/17 and 4/28/16 with no resolve. When I do get in contact with the rep he doesn't have a clue. On two occasions the rep asked if I got my car back from the dealer. I have to tell him that the vehicle hasn't been to the dealer since my complaint of no resolve by the dealer. He then says he will have to contact the dealer. This has happen 2 times, the last being 4/28/16. I haven't heard from him since, today being 5/3/16. On line cargurus site says my problem is the torque converter control solenoid not unlocking the converter from the higher highway gear, causing vehicle to stall when exiting and stopping off freeway. This problem has been going on since 03/15/2015, with the dealer not duplicating the problem on 3 occasions. I had the trans fluid changed hoping they would find something, nothing. Been waiting for it to crash, but now I am tired of waiting. It is now a year later with no resolve.

The transmission has a shifting issue which may cause a serious accident when turning into traffic.it can happen when stopped at light or off side streets when accelerating into turn. It feels like transmission slips out of gear and then slams into gear but I am afraid that it will malfunction and I will not have any way to get out of traffic in time. This issue happens both stationary and in motion and on city streets.

When we bought the vehicle (at around 80k miles) we noticed that you could smell coolant at times, but were told it was nothing. When we took it in for service we were told that it was 2 quarts low on oil. I asked the shop that did the first oil change, thinking maybe they didn't do a proper job- he mentioned that this was a common issue with this year of town & country. I took it in for a recall- a good friend wanted to perform an oil consumption test. Come to find out, it was burning oil at a rapid rate. If I hadn't been aware & checking the oil on almost a daily basis, it could have run out & the engine seized. The burning oil causes issues with the rings as well.

Three times in the last two weeks, while the van was in park with the emergency brake engaged, it rolled several feet. One of the times it was on completely flat ground. I am very afraid that while parked it will roll and injure or kill someone. This is a very serious safety issue. I read through the recalls and see that there is a recall on the 2015 chrysler 200 for this already. I have a video of it, but can't seem to upload it to this site. If you could send me an email at [xxx] I could send the video back that way.
