POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
CAR STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL CLANKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. HAD THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLACES LOOK AT IT AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO SPITZER CHRYSLER IN BROOK PARK, OH WHO SAID IT WAS EVERYTHING BUT THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALER AS IT'S UNDRIVABLE AND LEAKED ALL IT'S TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THIS VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER AND A JERKING MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY THE 28 TO 35 MPH RANGE. ALSO SWITCHING THE GEARS FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE OR REVERSE WILL FREEZE. HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRY AGAIN. AS FAR AS THE SUSPENSION, THE LEFT REAR HAS MADE A SOUND ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. IT MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND IF GOING OVER A BUMP, OR HIT A DEVIATION IN THE ROAD. WAS TOLD FOR THE LONGEST TIME COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN 1 SHOCK IS BAD.

ON 6/2 DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE NO STARTING ISSUES AND NO CODES AND I COULD PICK UP THE CAR. STARTING ISSUES PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. LEAVING ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 6/23/19. 6/24/19 TOOK CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY HAD UNTIL 07/12/19 STATING IS WAS THE KEY FOB AND PUSH START BUTTON. ONE WEEK IT RAN FINE THEN RAPIDLY BEGAN TO NOT START, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SENT ME TO A THIRD PARTY MECHANIC AND ARE TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS CAR HAD THESE PROBLEMS THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND NO ONE AT GAGE AUTO SALES WILL HELP ME. I AM 23 YEARS OLD TRYING TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN AND THERE IS NO WAY I CAN PAY 1500 TO RE-PROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP ME!

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2015 CHRYSLER 200S TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NUMEROUS TIMES THE GEAR WOULD SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE AT STOPLIGHTS. THE DASHBOARD WOULD INSTRUCT ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK THE CHOOSE DESIRED GEAR. THAT'S IF I'M LUCKY AND THE SHIFT KNOB DOESN'T LOCK, PREVENTING ME FROM SHIFTING INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER. NUMEROUS TIMES IT HAS DISENGAGED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 55 MPH TO 70 MPH. HAVING FIND A WAY TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER WHILE ACTIVATING THE HAZARD LIGHTS HAS PROVEN QUITE DISTURBING TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS SLIPPED OUT OF DRIVE WHILE GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS LEAVING ME DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS AT THE MERCY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HOPING THEY BRAKE IN TIME. IT HAS NEARLY BEEN THE CAUSE OF SEVERAL WRECKS HAVING LOSS OF POWER, STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN AND I'VE NOWHERE TO TURN OFF OF ROAD FOR LACK OF SHOULDER OR CURBS CREATING OBSTACLES. REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT OCCURS , IF THE SHIFT KNOB IS LOCKED, THE CAR IS NOT BUDGING. IT IS LOCKED IN THE TRANSMISSION PREVENTING ANY WAY OF PUSHING IT. I CAN'T DRIVE MY SON ANYWHERE FOR FEAR IT COULD RESULT IN SOMETHING I'D RATHER NOT THINK OF.

THIS CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY, ALMOST KILLING MYSELF AND PASSENGERS, IT NOW SAYS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR WILL NOT GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. EVERY TIME I DO I GET A LAME REASON WHY THE CAR IS ACTING UP BUT IT IS NEVER FIXED. I AM CURRENTLY USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFORM OTHERS OF HOW CHYRSLER HANDLES THEIR CUSTOMER BUSI9. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TO MAKE SURE NO ONE EVER BUYS A CAR FROM CHYRSLER. ALSO WE ARE SUING CHYRSLER AT THIS MOMENT SO I CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH. BUT PLEASE DO NOT BUY CHRYSLER THEY ARE ALL TRASH!
