POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO GET ONTO A MAIN STREET, WHEN ACCELERATING TO PICK UP SPEED, THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL AND FELT AS IF THE CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. A SCREEN POPPED UP ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE TRANSMITION" AND "ENGAGE PARKING BREAK TO PREVENT ROLLING". WHILE THE NOTIFICATION WAS ON THE DASH, THE GEAR SHIFTER BLINKED ON "D" AND LOCKED UP. UNABLE TO ALLOW US TO SWITCH TO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MIKE TOLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 5340 HWY 70 W, MOREHEAD CITY, NC 28557. THE SERVICE AREA DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. WE DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR THIS DIAGNOSES, BUT I CAN CALL AND ASK FOR ONE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TOMORROW. WE RESEARCHED MAKE AND MODEL FOR RECALLS, AND OUR PERSONAL VIN NUMBER. OUR MAKE AND MODEL HAD 8 RECALLS, ONE INCLUDING RECALL 16V529000 FOR NHTSA AND S55 FOR CHRYSLER. AFTER ASKING THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE THESE DID NOT APPLY TO OUR CAR, THEY WERE NOT ACCOMMODATING. THEY STATED THAT IF WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A RECALL TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, WHERE THEY MADE A CASE NUMBER OF 77342048 AND INFORMED US TO CONTACT NHSTA DUE TO THE ISSUE BEING WHAT THE RECALL STATES, BUT THE VIN NOT HAVING A RECALL.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE TCM, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR SEEMS TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE POWER DROPS AND THEN IT POPS BACK INTO DRIVE IF YOU PRESS THE GAS HARD ENOUGH. IT'S DANGEROUS AND EMBARRASSING.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WANTS TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHILE ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN RIGHT BEFORE COMPLETE STOP. DASHBOARD DOES NOT GIVE ERROR CODE. DASHBOARD TOLD WIFE TO PUT IN (P) WHILE IN (D) GOING DOWN ROAD AROUND 15-20MPH AND ACCELERATING AND I FOUND SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLAINT ONLINE ON MANY WEBSITES. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BATTERY BEFORE MY INTERNET RESEARCH, BUT AFTER BATTERY CHECK, BATTERY IN PERFECT CONDITION. JUST STARTED HAPPENING YESTERDAY EVENING AFTER VEHICLE NOT USED IN 5-6 DAYS. NOT EVERYDAY DRIVER VEHICLE. TUNE-UP/OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY FROM MICHIGAN TO NEBRASKA CAR WAS MAKING LOUD NOISES FROM SUSPENSION/TIRE AREA AND TOOK CAR INTO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION BEFORE DRIVING ANY FURTHER. WAS TOLD THAT CAR HAD 4 BLOWN OUT STRUTS AND FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING. THEY SAID THIS WAS UNUSUAL SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD AROUND 47,000 MILES ON IT AND A NEWER VEHICLE FOR SUCH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND TOLD MUST REPAIR AS CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. REPAIR WAS $2,000 FOR PARTS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BAD ON A CAR UNDER 50,000 MILES. SEARCHING VEHICLE ONLINE AND SAW THAT CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED 700,000 OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL IN 2015 FOR FAULTY/DEFECTIVE STRUTS AND FRONT WHEEL BEARING. I CHECKED MY VIN AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS LISTED. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT 700,000 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WE HAD WITH OUR CAR FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ONLY SAID MY VIN DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS AND I COULD REPORT IT ON THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO SHOULD NOT BE OUR FAULT TO REPLACE ON A NEWER VEHICLE IF THE PARTS WERE KNOWN TO BE BAD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER RECALLS LISTED FOR SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WITH TRANSMISSION WHICH ONCE AGAIN OUR VEHICLE HAS SYMPTOMS YET NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EITHER. IT SEEMS LIKE AN ERROR HAS BEEN MADE HERE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FIRST I RECEIVED THE WHEEL SENSOR WARNING. THEN THE AIR BAG WARNING. THEN A VAPE LEAK ISSUE, AND NOW MY DASH LIGHTS ARE GOING COMPLETELY OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETECT SPEED. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000. MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE OCCURS. I HAVE BEEN ON BOTH A HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, AND DRIVING STRAIGHT DURING THE BLACKOUT. IT HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THIS RECALL: CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2015 CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED JANUARY 7, 2014, TO SEPTEMBER 23, 2014. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE A POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT MAY CAUSE INTERMITTENT POWER FAILURES TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2020, I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN SUDDENLY AND MY GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE MUCH AND IT WOULDN'T STOP PROPERLY. SOME LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH BOARD. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP A FEW DAYS LATER. THE MECHANIC HOOKED MY CAR TO A MACHINE AND NOTHING WAS REALLY SHOWING. HE DID SOMETHING TO RESET MY DASHBOARD ALERTS AND SAID THAT IF IT CONTINUED TO BRING IT BACK. IT DID CONTINUE, SO HE ORDERED NEW COILS FOR MY CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 FOR REPAIR. THE MECHANIC RECHECKED MY CAR AND HE FOUND METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL THAT HE DRAINED FROM MY TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THAT IS NOT NORMAL FOR REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE EXPERIENCED HARSH AND ERRATIC SHIFTING IN LOW SPEEDS AND GEARS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. I WAS TOLD IN THE TEST DRIVE IT WAS THE NEW GENERATION TRANSMISSION LEARNING MY DRIVING STYLE. AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW WEEKS LATER, THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THAT IT WAS A "LEFT FOOT SHIFT" (WHATEVER THAT IS) AND STILL LEARNING HOW I DRIVE BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID A TCM AND PCM UPDATE. THIS DID NOT HELP. IT HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ODD SHIFTING PROBLEMS WHEN IN SPORT MODE USING THE PADDLE SHIFTERS. WHEN YOU ARE IN 3RD AND GO TO UPSHIFT INTO 4TH, IT DOWN SHIFTS INTO 2ND! SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CURVERY ROADS WHERE A DOWNSHIFT AT THAT SPEED COULD THROW YOU OFF. FAST FORWARD A YEAR LATER ALL THE WHILE IT IS STILL SHIFTING HARD AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PADDLE SHIFT MODE, I AM NOW GETTING A "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" CODE IN THE DASH IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE LIGHT POPPING UP AND THE CAR NOT GOING INTO GEAR VIA THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT KNOB. THIS ISSUE HAS LEFT ME STRANDED FROM TIMES RANGING FROM 30 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR. WHILE A CASE IS STILL ONGOING WITH CHRYSLER, I HAVE SOME OTHER INFORMATION TO BE NOTED. THIS CAR WAS A PART OF THE RECALL R08 (TRANSAXLE PARK ROD), R24 (POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR), AND S55 (TRANSAXLE RANGE SENSOR WIRE HARNESS), WHICH WERE ALL REPAIRED. I AM NOW A YEAR OUT OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WITH THIS 2015 CHRYSLER 200S THAT HAS 96,500 MILES ON IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE PAPERWORK (WHICH CAN BE PROVIDED) THAT I TRIED TO HAVE THIS CAR FIXED BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WAS UP BUT INSTEAD I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT IT HAS A "CLUTCH PACK FAILURE" WHICH WOULD REQUIRE AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. INTERESTINGLY, ONCE YOU GET IT INTO GEAR, IT DRIVES JUST FINE. BUT WHOSE TO SAY IT WON'T JUST QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT?
