POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
While driving, my car will accelerate when depressing the brake. If cruise control is set to say 60 mph, the car will continue to accelerate well after the desired speed has been reached. When pressing the brake to disengage cruise control, the car will still try to accelerate for about 10 seconds, even while depressing the brake. I'm not sure if that is related to this, or if it is a separate issue, but my car will also stall out when coming to a stop or slowing down, especially if braking hard. When the engine stalls, power steering and braking are also lost. My car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections, on a busy highway coming to a red light or slowing down because of a hazard in front of me, and at stop signs. I also check my oil regularly, and do routine oil changes. When I check the oil, and when I have my oil changed, the oil level is almost ALWAYS low, and has even been completely empty a couple times. I've confirmed that there is no leaking under the car. Sometimes I smell burnt oil coming from my car. I fill the oil up, and less than a month, and the oil is almost gone. More worrisome to me, is the fact that even though the oil was completely empty, my oil light never came on. So it was by luck that I checked the oil and noticed that it was empty because I wouldn't have otherwise known. My check engine light will come on from time to time, and I have it checked for the codes each time. The following are the codes that have shown up every single time: P2172; U1424; P106A

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Since purchasing my car, I’ve experienced at least 9 instances of the vehicle completely cutting off, while driving. I have one of these incidents on video. The car will cut off, tell me to “Shift to Park and hit the Start button” while in traffic, posing severe danger to myself and other drivers. There are recalls describing this exact problem, yet my VIN number is not included in the recall. Most recently, my vehicle stalled/cut off immediately after getting an oil change. Once restarted, began running rough, shaking, and would not accelerate. I took it to a mechanic who said the problems all seemed the same as the recalled vehicles and all subsequent problems stemmed from the main power train issue. I was advised to take it to the dealer, which I did, and the dealership is trying to charge me $3,705 to fix a commonly known and previously recalled issue with this year/make/model vehicle. I’ve contacted FCA and they cannot give me any answers, explanation, or assistance.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS AN ENGINE HAS TIME TO COOL COMPLETELY DOWN IT SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN AFTER RESTART AND ACCELERATION. IF I START TO SLOW DOWN IT WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND TELL ME TO PUT INTO PARK. IT HAS DONE IT COUNTLESS TIMES ON BUSY ROADWAYS, WHEN IM COMING TO A STOP AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT IS STARTING TO ALSO SHUT OFF AS I AM TURNING. NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT ITS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IF THE ENGINE HASNT COMPLETELY WARMED UP BEFORE I DRIVE IT. THEY HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN CHRYSLER 200S BUT APPARENTLY MINE DOESNT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL AND SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT IT DOESNT. SEEMS AS THOUGH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THE 200S ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT ONES ARE FIXED. IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR FAMILIES TO DIE IN CAR ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY FINALLY FIX THE PROBLEM!?

AIR BAGS
BOUGHT MY CAR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL PRE OWNED CAR DEALERSHIP, SOON AFTER MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, THEIR MECHANIC WOULDN'T FIX IT WITHOUT TRYING TO CHARGE ME EVEN THOUGH I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 4 YEAR WARRANTY. IT'S STILL NOT FIXED AFTER TWO YEARS, I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT, AND NOW I'M FINDING OUT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE ISSUE AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER FIXED BUT THEY SAID IT WAS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANY KIND OF REPAIR, I'VE BEEN ABSOLUTELY DUPED BY THIS DEALERSHIP AND IM FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY LOVED ONES WHEN I DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD KILL MY LOVED ONES AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

IT HAS DONE IT BEFORE LIKE 6 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT BUT IT HASN'T DONE IT AGAIN. I THOUGHT I HAD TURNED THE WRONG KNOB SO DIDN'T REALLY LOOK INTO IT MUCH UNTIL RECENTLY. IT ALMOST GOT IS KILLED. WE WERE GETTINGOFF AN EXIT TURNING RIGHT AND IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING. IN FRONT OF THE CARS COMINGOUR WAY. . IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND FLASHES "SHIFT TO PARK" IN ORDER TO DO THAT YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP AND SHIFT IT THEN TURN OFF YOUR CAR IN HOPES IT'LL START RIGHT UP... IT DONT. WE WERE ON A BUSY OVER PASS WHEN IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO. YESTERDAY (04/26/2021) WE WERE BY THE COURT HOUSE AND IT DONE THE SAME THING. TODAY (04/27/2021) IT DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO START. IT IDLED HIGH AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS DYING. I OF COURSE HAD TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL SO IT WAS SCARY.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 CHRYSLER C IN 2017. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING EVERY NOW AND THEN. MY CAR IS AT 60K MILES NOW AND I HAVE A SENSOR LIGHT ON TELLING ME SERVICE AWD. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT DECIDED AND THE READING I GOT BACK WAS P1634 AND P1634 00. THE POWER TRAIN ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED BEFORE I OWNED IT AND NOW FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT, MAY BE GOING BAD AGAIN. I SMELL A BURNING SMELL FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M TRYING TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO GET SERVICED BUT EVERYONE'S TELLING ME NO OPEN RECALL. HOWEVER I KEEP READING ABOUT RECALLS ON CHRYSLER 200 POWER TRANNY. I HAVE LOST SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR IT'S RIDICULOUS! MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW D

IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THE ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER HAD TO BE FIXED 3 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS COME UP FOR THIS ISSUE AFTER IT WAS STATIONARY OR PARKED OVER NIGHT AND THEN THE LIGHT WOULD COME UP WHEN IT WAS TIME TO DRIVE AGAIN. FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FIXED. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED MY CAR NOW OVERHEATS AFTER BEING IDLE FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR WAS FIXED TWICE BUT LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD RECENTLY AGAIN.

MY CAR WAS REPAIRED FOR A RECALL IN 2016 FOR THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN DYING OUT WHILE STOPPING, IN DRIVE THRU AND WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO 4 MECHANICS WHO COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. TODAY THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUES THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ARE IN DIRECT RELATION TO THE ISSUE THAT WAS COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. REPAIR WAS FAULTY AND DEALER IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

BEGINNING AT MILEAGE 83,931 ON 4/5/2021, MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE NOR RESTART FOR SERVAL MINUTES, LEAVING ME STRANDED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER THE CAR RESTARTED, I DROVE HOME WHILE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER AND GO COMPLETELY DARK THEM COME BACK ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. TODAY, 4/6/2021, MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF, NO POWER AND NO WARNING, ONCE AGAIN LEAVING ME STRANDED FOR MINUTES BLOCKING TRAFFIC. THE CAR, ONCE AGAIN RESTARTED AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY SIX MINUTES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND POTENTIALLY KILL ME, MY CHILDREN, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING IN IT. AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRING TODAY, THE CAR BEHAVED AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION; HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
