POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH AND UNPREDICTABLE. EACH SHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT IS FELT IN THE THROTTLE(FEELS LIKE ENGINE BRAKING). TRANSMISSION OFTEN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. SHIFTING GEARS SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWNSHIFT SOMETIMES WHEN APPROPRIATE THROTTLE IS GIVEN. BRAKING IS JERKY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ROUGH DOWN SHIFTING. CITY DRIVING IN THIS CAR IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS DUE TO ALL THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE LAST SUMMER (2017) REGARDING MY VEHICLE SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL GETTING STUCK AND BEING DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE. I WANTED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY BUT MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THIS ORGANIZATION (NHTSA) THAT SOME 2015 CHRYSLER 200 VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ASSUMING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. I WAS BY TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER EMPLOYEES THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED AND PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS ON MY OWN. I WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUESTING AGAIN THAT CHRYSLER BUY BACK THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY ADMIT NEED TO BE DONE ON SOME OF THE VEHICLES. IF ITS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL OF THE CARS WOULD NEED THE REPAIR SINCE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE. SEE ALSO ODI 10984831. *DSY UPDATED 9/25/18*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP SUCH AS A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE ENGINE ALSO STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING. IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX INTO A BUSY MAIN ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO RESTART. UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT HESITATED TO TURN OVER AND START. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 MINUTES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT IT WAS GETTING READY TO STALL. AFTER IT STARTED UP AGAIN A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THIS MAKES THE 3RD TIME IT HAD STALLED BUT THE 1ST TIME IT HAS GIVEN ME ANY KIND OF INDICATION WHY.

SEATS
I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAY THE DRIVER HEADREST POP UP AND SPLIT APART DISCLOSING THE INTERNAL MECHANISM. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND I'M AMAZED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I FEAR THAT THE PASSENGER HEADREST WILL POP AND INJURE MY PASSENGER.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR BEGINS TO MAKE DING SOUND,THEN SLOWS DOWN AND SHUTS OFF AND SAYS "SHIFTS TO PARK" CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CUT OFF. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, IT BEGINS TO MAKE THE CUGHH CUGGGHHH SOUND AND TAKES A AMINUTE TO TWO BEFORE IT COMES BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CARMAX FOR THEM TO SAY ITS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEEMBER 2017

THE VEHICLE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHERE IT BROKE DOWN THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SECOND TIME IN THE CITY. THOSE TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO ANY CAR HISTORY REPORT AGENCY OR THE PUBLIC. THIS MIGHT BE PUTTING SOMEONE LIFE AT RISK. I HAVE TO SAY THIS THAT WE DIDN'T FIND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: DURABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE WERE THE REASON WE DIDN'T DIVE THE CAR THAT OFTEN.

NO HEAT COMING FROM THE VENTS. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS DURING COLD MONTHS. WINDOWS FOG UP AND BLOCKS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WIPE THE WINDSHIELDS EVERY DAY. ESPECIALLY ON MY 1 HOUR DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE. I ALSO HAD TO BUNDLE UP WHEN I DRIVE FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL MARCH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR WORSE , KILLS SOMEONE ELSE. I CAN ONLY PUT IN 1 DATE BELOW BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY WINTER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN ' IN THE CHRYSLER WOU A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 200 I BEGAN TO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN DASH IN THE CHRYSLER WILL CONSTANTLY FLASHING ALL OF ITS LIGHTS AND TELL ME THAT MY PARKING BRAKE NEEDS SERVICED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICED. I HAVE GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT NEVER SOLVES ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT TENDS TO JUMP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON JUNE 6, 2018 MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN AKRON OHIO DO TO THE CAR JUMPING, ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT AND LOCKING UP THE CAR, SO I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK OR STEER. THE CAR ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE LOCKED UP CAR. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PROPER MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE ON THIS CA I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SEE THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAVE FIXED ANY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER.
