POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
2015 CHRYSLER 200 RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE RAC IN DALLAS, TX. 2.4L FOUR-CYLINDER/9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRAVELING AT STEADY 55-60 MPH ON A CONTROLLED-ACCESS TOLL ROAD. I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO APPROX. 65 MPH TO PASS A VEHICLE AHEAD, TRIGGERING A DOWNSHIFT. I THEN DETERMINED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WERE NOT FAVORABLE TO PASS, SO I REDUCED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE IN PASSING GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE SLOWING. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-75 MPH, AND EACH TIME IT TOOK THE CAR BETWEEN 4-7 SECONDS AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING AND BEGIN TO SLOW.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY SPOUSE AND I WAS TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGED FORWARD CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I STILL HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY SPOUSE NECK WAS HURTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAD YET TO BE RESOLVED. THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOCK AND I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND IT 'S STILL THERE. THE CAR STILL LUNGES FORWARD FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD AN UPDATE ON ITS SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT ROLLS FORWARD QUITE A BIT. 2 TIMES IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE 5 TIMES AND TODAY IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG. CONNECTORS WERE CHANGED AND WIRING 4 TIMES. CAR HESITATES A LOT ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND STILL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT ON A MAJOR ROAD FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR ROLLED A LITTLE AND DIDN'T GO. IT HESITATED JERKED HARD AND WENT REALLY SLOW. A GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANNY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR VIBRATES. I DON'T HAVE NO AC NOR RADIO ON AND IT JUST VIBRATES. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLERS STAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY VEHICLE JUST UPDATES. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT SPENDS ABOUT A WEEK IN THE SHOP ONCE A MONTH SINCE APRIL. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT BUT THEY CAN HEAR THE RATTLING AND FEEL THE SOUND. I EVEN HAD ONE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DEAL WITH IT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING BUT STAR ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YET AGAIN IT IS AT THE SHOP TODAY GETTING AN UPDATE AND THE AIRBAG BEING REPAIRED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION. IT CHANGES GEARS WHEN IT WANTS TO! SEVERAL TIMES WE HAVE HAD A ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR GOING LIKE SOMEONE PUT THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL...BY ITSELF!! I HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE 3TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES.

ENGINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT NO ENGINE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE HOME ( ABOUT 10 MILES). I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND BACK ( ABOUT 24 MILES ROUND TRIP ) THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO WORK AND IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES TO ME BEFORE I GOT TO WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WHEN I FOUND THIS WEBSITE. I SAW A COMPLAINT FROM SOMEONE IN LAKEWOOD CALIFORNIA THAT LISTED A RECALL #, (14113 RO1 RECALL WC 0.50 TO REPROGRAM THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE) AND THE TCM (TRANS CONTROL MODULE)) SO WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I GAVE THEM THIS INFORMATION. THEY HAD THE CAR 5 DAYS AND TEST DROVE IT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY SAID THEY DID THE REPROGRAMMING AND ALSO SECURED A WIRING HARNESS ( WHICH WAS ALSO MENTIONED IN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS) ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER UPDATES THAT WERE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE HAVE THE CAR BACK NOW, TIME AND MILES WILL TELL IF THIS WAS THE SOLUTION OR NOT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL IT WILL NOT HOLD SPEED GOING DOWN HILL - WILL SHIFT DOWN MORE THAN ONCE & WILL GO UP TO 60+ MILES PER HOUR. GOING OVER A SMALL HILL WILL SHIFT DOWN MORE THAN ONCE USUALLY - NOT ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO CHANGE TO THE PROBLEM. WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR THE TACH STAYS VERY HIGH & WILL DECREASE AS YOU SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT NOT ENOUGH. HAVE TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALL THE TIME. WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO "IN" RIGHT AWAY - IT TAKES A BIT TO ACTUALLY "GO".. AS YOU'RE PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE ON VACATION, I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATOR ON MY RECENTLY LEASED 2015 CHRYSLER 200 SOMEHOW DECOUPLED WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE D IN MY DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR BEGAN COASTING. THE ENGINE WAS ON, AND I HAD POWER STEERING, BUT NO ACCELERATION. SOMEHOW, WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO CONTROL MY CARS SPEED, I GOT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ONE OF THE MANY 18 WHEELERS ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. EVENTUALLY THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY HELPED ME RENT A CAR AND I CONTINUED MY VACATION. THEY REPLACED A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR AND I RETURNED TO PICK THE CAR UP A WEEK LATER. BUT BEFORE ID EVEN DRIVEN 30 MILES, I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. AS THE D IN THE DASHBOARD FLASHED, THE CAR ESSENTIALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND BEGAN COASTING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HEART WAS RACING AFTER THIS HORRIFIC AND EXASPERATING EXPERIENCE. CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOWED THE CAR TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP THAT COULDNT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, SO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR HAD IT RETURNED TO THEM. THEY KEPT MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR A FULL WEEK, EVENTUALLY REPLACING THE PMC. I PICKED UP MY REPAIRED CAR, BUT LO AND BEHOLD, BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN MUCH MORE THAN 20 MILES, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED FOR A THIRD TIME, BUT THIS TIME ON A SURFACE ROAD. BY THIS TIME, IM OUT OF MY MIND WITH FEAR, INDIGNATION AND FRUSTRATION. THIS IS MY LIFE. I ONLY HAVE ONE OF THEM THAT I KNOW OF. I WANT TO EXTEND IT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. THE 2015 CHRYSLER 200 IS DANGEROUS AND I WILL NEVER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. IM LOOKING AT ALL THE POSSIBLE WAYS I CAN GET AWAY FROM THIS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE.

ON 8/17/15, I BARELY MADE AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY WORK WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. TOOK A FEW TIMES PRESSING THE BUTTON TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN BUT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN AND MADE IT HOME SAFELY. NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO THE END OF MY STREET AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AGAIN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND THIS TIME TOOK 5 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN.....I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN TO BE CHECKED BY DEALERSHIP ON 8/20 ASKED IF THEY WOULD SUPPLY ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED AND THEY TOLD ME NO BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE WHEN DO I NEED TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A CAR THAT HAS A MANUFACTURED WARRANTY STILL ON??? I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MAY 2015 AND IT HAS BARELY 7000 MILES ON IT....I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR HOME TODAY AS I MADE SAFELY TO WORK HOWEVER I WORRY THAT IT MAY SHUT OFF AGAIN WHEN I AM IN AN INTERSECTION OR A HIGHWAY.

AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS 11 MONTHS OLD. I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT SHOOK AND SPUTTERED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. IT WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER ONE DAY OF REPAIRS. I DROVE SIX MILES AND PARKED AT A SHOPPING CENTER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN REFUSED TO START, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT REPAIRS AND TESTING FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK BEFORE BEING RETURNED TO ME YET AGAIN. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN WITH NO APPARENT ISSUES, BUT THE PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED MUST BE PREVENTED BEFORE IT OCCURS. IT WAS LIFE-THREATENING, AND IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE SO HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OR PARKED IN DANGEROUS SURROUNDINGS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 17 AND ATTEMPTING TO TRAVERSE AN OVERPASS AT 66MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH AND DECELERATE. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKES AND NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER WHEN I LOST MY ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION ALARM BEGAN GOING OFF. I PRESSED THE BRAKES UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THANKFULLY WAS NOT REAR-ENDED) AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. LUCKILY THE CAR RESTARTED, HOWEVER AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN 500FT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALL MY HUSBAND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING, HOWEVER THE CAR ONLY STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS BEFORE IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AFTER PROVIDING MY LOCATION, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ASKED ME THE FOLLOWING QUESTION POINT BLANK "WERE YOU DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR CAR STALLED?" TO WHICH I REPLIED THAT IT WAS CURIOUS SHE ASKED ME THAT AS IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I ASKED HER IF IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHE SAID NO SHE WAS JUST REQUIRED TO ASK THE QUESTION. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE NOTED: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311. INTERMITTENT AOD AND B FEED CIRCUITS F3 3. THE DEALERSHIP FLASHED THE PCM, INSPECTED, REPAIRED THE PDC CONNECTOR C4 TERMINAL PUSHOUTS ON PINS 15 & 18. BUT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HERE, I WAS NOT CONVINCED THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. I CONTACTED MY FRIEND AND SALES PERSON WHO'S FATHER OWNED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ASSISTED US WITH A VEHICLE TRADE AS HAVING YOUR CAR DIE AND LOSE STEERING AT 66MPH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WHICH HAS FAILED TO RAISE ALARM FOR BOTH CHRYSLER AND NHTSA....I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FIRST DUE TO THIS ISSUE...

THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFT PADDLES (SPORT SHIFT MODEL CHRYSLER 200S) HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR ME. THESE PADDLES (+ AND -) ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES, JUST ABOVE THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE BACK FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 16 MILE ROAD, I THOUGHT I WAS CHANGING THE CHANNEL OF MY RADIO STATION, INSTEAD I HIT THE PADDLE, THIS STOPPED MY ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, INSTEAD THE RPMS WENT UP. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ADJUST AND WAS IN THE LEFT (FAST) LANE WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE 'MICHIGAN LEFT' LANE, I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON HALL ROAD APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, FORTUNATELY I WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY TO TURN ON TO A STREET. I BELIEVE MOST OF THE FUNCTIONS IN THIS CAR ARE ERGONOMICALLY WRONG. THE 'DIAL' TO PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE IS JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE AIR FLOW DIAL. I HAVE LOOKED BEHIND THE CAR TO BE SURE THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS / VEHICLES AND WHILE MY HEAD WAS TURNED, MY HAND TURNED THE DIAL FOR AIR FLOW INSTEAD OF THE DIAL FOR REVERSE. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE IS A SMALL PULL BUTTON JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER TRY TO PULL IT AS THEY ASKED WHAT IT WAS . . .
