ENGINE
VEHICLE UNDER RECALL WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION OR PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. OWNERS ARE TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL A SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. CAR WILL STALL OR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. CAR HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING, SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN DRIVE. CAR ENGINE REVVED UP, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATES I I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY AVOIDING TRAFFIC. WARNING LIGHTS FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUCTING ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION, STOP SAFELY, TURN OFF CAR, PLACE INTO PARK. DOING ALL OF THIS LEFT THE CAR STUCK IN EITHER "RUN" OR "ACCESSORY" MODE. CAR WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN, EVEN WHEN KEY FOB WAS AWAY FROM CAR. GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. ALL LIGHTS WERE LIT UP ON THE GEAR SHIFT. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR CLOCK TIME FROZE AND A WARNING CAME ON THE SCREEN SAYING TO SERVICE VEHICLE PHONE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER TWICE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 4 TIMES WITHIN 25 DAYS, AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP NOW. MANUAL PARK RELEASE HAD TO BE USED IN ORDER TO TOW VEHICLE AS THE GEAR SHIFT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR. CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR OWNERS AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS AN IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN SPEED AND LOSS OF CONTROL COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED VEHICLE 7/31/2015, ON 8/17/2015 VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK, MISS OUT , TRY TO DIE WHEN DRIVING AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK INTO SHOP 8/18/2015 AND FOUND OUT THAT THE MOTOR WAS BAD AND IT WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT AND NEEDED REPLACED. MOTOR HAD 468 MILES ON IT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND OUT THAT AN ENTIRE LINE WAS PRODUCED WHERE SOME OF THESE MOTORS WERE NOT PUT TOGETHER PROPERLY (MISSING A SEAL). TO THIS DATE, 10/7/2015 I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL OR ANY MENTION OF SAID PROBLEM. MY MOTOR WAS TO BE REPLACED, I TOLD CHRYSLER I WANTED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I HAD ONLY 2 WEEKS AND THE MAJOR PART OF VEHICLE WAS JUNK. THEY SUGGESTED A REPLACEMENT, WE TRIED THAT SOLUTION AND 4 WEEKS INTO IT, THEY HAD STILL NOT MOVED. I AM NOW ASKING THEM TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND LET ME MOVE ON. I FEEL LIKE THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS, AS THERE IS POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH BAD MOTORS SITTING ON LOTS, DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST WAITING TO FAIL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON A ONE LANE RAMP, GOING ABOUT 25 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR AROUND A BEND. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE, NOT PARK OR NEUTRAL. I COULD NOT RESTART MY ENGINE. ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, LANE SENSE, AND PARK SENSE WERE DISABLED. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC - THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND ME WAS TO GO UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS NOT SAFE. PEOPLE BEHIND ME TRIED TO HELP BY PUSHING THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT. I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO SEND INCIDENT RESPONSE TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE WAY. THE INCIDENT RESPONSE TRUCK ALSO COULD NOT PUSH ME OUT OF THE WAY, BUT AFTER ROCKING MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SCREEN SHOWED A MESSAGE SAYING TO SERVICE TRANSMISISON. I DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FOUND MANY CASES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS, AND I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLY A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, ONLY THAT THEIR SERVICE MANUAL SAYS REFLASHING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER COPORATE ALSO CANNOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. SEVERAL TESTIMONIES ONLINE SAY THAT THEIR CAR WAS NOT FIXED BY REFLASHING THE TCM. HAVING YOUR NEW CAR DIE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING IS AN UNACCEPTABLE, POSSIBLY FATAL RISK. I ONLY HOPE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I WON'T BE IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN FRONT OF A SEMI-TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 5 TIMES. WHILE INCREASING OR DECREASING SPEED ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM USING THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED AND THE CAR SCREEN ALERTS THE DRIVER THAT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR TWICE. THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE FOR THE ACC. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON HIGHWAY, ON CITY ROADS, WHILE GOING FAST, WHILE GOING SLOW. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GOING STRAIGHT, NOT TURNING, AS IT IS UNSAFE TO ADJUST THE CONTROLS IN A TURN.

POWER TRAIN
HELLO, MY TRANSMISSION IN MY BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 200S (2 WEEKS OLD) FAILED AS I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 75 MPH STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT A MESSAGE SIMILAR TO: "TRANSMISSION FAILED - PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD" AND MY CAR BEGAN TO BRAKE. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED MY CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OFF - IT IS A PUSH-TO-START. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION GAVE AN "OFFLINE" MESSAGE TO MY ENGINE AND SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME ON THE ROAD OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIGH-SPEED COLLISION. AFTER DOING A LITTLE ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD NOT PUT MY FAMILY BACK IN THIS CAR, AND OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS TO PAUSE THEN EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN IT ACCELERATES. THE WIPERS MAKE A LOUD NOISE. THE LOW TIRE ICON CAME ON WHEN I CHECKED TIRES THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF AIR WAS IN EACH TIRE BUT ICON WOULD NOT GO OFF. I PUT OVER THE AMOUNT OF AIR IN FRONT TIRES AND ICON STILL WILL NOT GO OFF. THE TEMP GAUGE WILL NOT WORK UNTIL I REACH THE SPEED OF 55 THEN IT SLOWLY WORKS. THIS CAR SCARES ME I FEEL MY LIFE IS AT RISK. I HAVE ALREADY HAD 4 OR 5 RECALLS AND TRANSMISSION WORK ON IT. THE RADIO TECHNOLOGY LOOSES SIGNAL FREQUENTLY AND IT HAS STARTED USING MORE GAS THAN WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN SO AFRAID OF THIS CAR I FEEL I AM PLAYING A DEATH GAME EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I LIVE IN WV AND OUR ROADS ARE CURVY AND MOSTLY 2 LANES. CAN I GET ANOTHER SAFER CAR WITHOUT BEING PENALIZED THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE I BOUGHT IT
