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.

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.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
MY CAR WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL I LEFT WORK TODAY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR AND IT KEPT SAYING 'CHECK PARKING BRAKE' AND 'CHECK AIRBAGS' I COULDN'T PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE PARKING BRAKE WOULDN'T LET ME DRIVE. VERY STRANGE, AS IT WAS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED.... HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH PARKING BRAKE OR AIRBAGS.
