ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN THROWING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING HOT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDS SERVICED. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FINE AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RUNNING HOT. THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND COME BACK ON ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO THE NEXT TRIP. THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE THE SENSORS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR (2ND OWNER) AND JUST ROLLED OVER 60,000 MILES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
A FEW DAYS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL IT WAS NOT SERIOUS BUT IF CONTINUED, TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED. I HAD NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO, BUT ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT AND THE THERMOSTAT LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SOMETHING REGARDING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CAME ACROSS THE MESSAGES. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AND THE ENGINE SEEMED FINE...NOT VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE PEP BOYS TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE CODE, THE CODE THAT WAS READ WAS P0128. I SPOKE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE HAD SAID HE HAD SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 200 MODELS AND ADVISED ME TO CHECK THE RECALL...WHICH DOES NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR ANY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. STALLED 4 TIMES 12/10/17 THEN WAS DRIVING ROUGH, AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE STREET THE RED LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN, STARTED CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK AROUND 8-10 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF WARNINGS GOING ACROSS THE SCREEN SAYING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. SO I TAKE THE CAR IN AND THE TCM IS NEEDING REPLACED AND THE ENGINE MAY NEED REPLACED. THIS IS NOT OK FOR A 2015 CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
VEHICLE IS STALLING, COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE IT AS 20MPH, 45MPH, GOING STRAIGHT, TURNING LEFT, TURNING RIGHT. THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL IT'S HAPPENING IS IT LOOSES POWER, STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE CAR DASH SAYS "SHIFT TO P TO START VEHICLE". WHEN I DO THAT, THE CAR TAKES AT LEAST 30-456 SECONDS TO COMPLETELY START BACK UP AND RUNNING. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. I HAVE TRAVELLED COUNTY ROADS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND IT HAS DONE IT ON EACH ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NOT OK AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BLOWN OFF WITH NO RECALL. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT IS 99.9% OF THE TIME IN THE CAR WITH ME. I CAN NOT HAVE THIS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH NOTHING BEING DONE OR RESOLVED OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES WHEN IT HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING.

POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL I AM SURE YOU HAVE PROBABLY RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE & SEEN THE LONG LIST OF OTHER FRUSTRATED OWNERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE HEATING CORE IN THESE CHRYSLER 200 ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK...IT BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. TEMPERATURES ARE NOW BELOW FREEZING. I DO NOT SEE FAIRNESS THAT ANY OWNERS HAVE TO SPEND A GRAND OR MORE REPLACING SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS MALFUNCTIONING IN MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES & MANY COMPLAINTS (INCLUDING MINE) HAVE BEEN SENT TO CHRYSLER. THIS HAS BEEN ON AN ISSUE NOW SINCE THE SEASON CHANGED & IT IS COLD. I DO NOT HAVE A GRAND TO SPEND NOR DO I HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE .

POWER TRAIN
IN LATE AUGUST 2017 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WITHIN 60 DAYS AN ALARM LIGHT CAME ON AND SOUNDED OFF. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPT, AND WAS TOLD AN ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE AND THE CAR WOULD BE FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A TRANSMISSION; A 4 WAS PUT IN THE CAR INSTEAD OF A 2 AND IT WOULD BE 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THERE WAS A BACK ORDER ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. DUE TO MANUFACTURING, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL, THE CARS ARE BEING REPAIRED AS THEY ARE BROUGHT IN. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE CAR MAY STALL. WELL, THE GEARS ARE STARTING TO SLIP AND IT TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS TO GET IN GEAR WHEN PULLING OFF FROM AN IDLE POSITION, ALONG WITH THAT THE ALARMS ARE STILL GOING OFF. THE ISSUE THAT THE CAR COULD JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IS UNNERVING BY ITSELF. I NO LONGER FEEL LIKE I HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I CAN'T CONTINUE PUTTING MYSELF AT RISK. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE FULL WARRANTY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
BOTH THE DASH AND PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROSTERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS NOT JUST A COMFORT ISSUE. THE RESTRICTED VISIBILITY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE COST TO FIX IS RIDICULOUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER.
