THE CAR STALLED AT A STOP SIGN AND STALLED AGAIN 3 TIMES AFTER THAT. IT READ SHIFT TO P TO START I DID THAT AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME CHANGE GEAR AFTER THAT. I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 SO IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN A ROUNDABOUT AND PEOPLE COULD HAVE REAR ENDED ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. IT MADE SOME UNUSUAL NOISES AND ALL KINDS OF LIGHTS FLASHING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLICKERING OFF AND ON. MANY WARNINGS POPPED UP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH, THERE WAS A LOT OF RESISTANCE. EVEN SAID CAR FOB NOT DETECTED AND BOTH FOBS WERE IN THE CAR AND HAVE NEW BATTERIES. WHEN WE GOT OUT AND LOCKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO GET BACK IN THE CAR, WE COULDN'T GET IT TO UNLOCK. THEN TRIED TO UNLOCK IT A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO UNLOCK BUT CAR STILL WOULDN'T START.

CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING IT. VERY DANGEROUS. HAPPENED TWICE WITH THIS VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. ENGINE STOPPED WHILE CAR WAS GOING 45 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. HAVING IT TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER ON THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER IS AS SOON AS SOMEONE CAN LOOK AT IT. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IS STILL BEING FINANCED.

"TAKATA RECALL" YOU HAD PUBLISHED ON JULY 28, 2015 OF AN INTERMITTENT CONNECTION C4 CONNECTOR & PDC RECALL FOR CHRYSLER CARS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RECALL WAS DUE TO INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE HOTLINE AND SPOKE TO A LADY THAT STATED THAT NOT ALL CARS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL; ARE RECALLED. OUR VEHICLE HAS WITHIN THE PAST 3-4 WEEKS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY 2-3 TIMES AND EVEN PULLING INTO OUR OWN DRIVEWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL SO WE WILL NOT BE PART OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

MY CHRYSLER 200 YEAR 2015 AND WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL MOT GET THE SPEED UP. THE MIST IT GOES IS ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THIS IS WHEN IM ALREADY ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY IT GOES IN VERY SLOWLY I PUSH GAS PEDAL AND IT WON'T GO PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. ALSO AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING IT, IT STARTS PULLING ITSELF LIKE IF IT WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL THIS US VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND COILS AND IT CONTINUES TO NIT FUNCTION CORRECTLY.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED WOULD NOT START AND THE BRAKE WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT. I WAS GLAD I WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND NOT DRIVING ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO CAME ON AT FIRST. I THOUGHT MAYBE MY KEY FOB BATTERY WAS LOW SO I USED ANOTHER KEY FOB WITH A FRESH BATTERY. WELL IT STILL DIDN'T START. SO WENT TO WORK. LUCKILY I HAVE AN OLD CAR I COULD USE. WHEN I CAME HOME TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD START IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO LIGHTS, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, TRUNK WON'T OPEN, DOORS WON'T LOCK AND UNLOCK. JUST COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FOUR YEARS NOW AND IT HAS GIVEN ME A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS BUT THIS IS THE WORST. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. NOW I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN!

FIRST THING, THE TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS SHOWING UNEVEN PRESSURE. THE MAN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IS THAT IT CUTS OFF WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU'RE GOING. IT JUST SHUTS OFF. RECENTLY, IT DIDN'T WANT TO START BACK UP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO 5 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED WHERE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY.THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS. FOR A NEW BATTERY. SO I POPPED UP THERE WITH MY FIANC AND DROVE AROUND TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP. I GOT IN MY CAR IT STARTED RIGHT UP. MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO THE SERVICE CASHIER WHERE HE TRIED TO SAY THAT PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT. BUT I PULLED UP MY CELL PHONE PICS SHOWING IT'S THE SAME BATTERY THAT I PUT RED FINGER NAIL POLISH ON TO SHOW IT'S MY SAME BATTERY. THEY MADE ME PAY FOR ' LOOKING ST MY CAR' EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T. I NEVER BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY. I DROVE MY CAR OFF THE LOT AND THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE NOZZLE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS 'THE BATTERY'. THEY JUMPED MY CAR OFF AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE A/C IS GOING IN AND OUT AND IT SMELLS MOLDY WHEN I AM ABLE TO START THE PIECE OF SHIT. I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN THIS PASSED SUNDAY AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A CONSIGNER AND 10K DOWN. I DON'T HAVE BAD CREDIT. THEY WERE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW MY CAR ISN'T WORTH ANYTHING. THE SALESMAN ANTOINE STRONG TOLD ME IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. I HAVE 75K MILES ON MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE NIGHTMARE AFTER THE OTHER. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS CAR. OH THE DEALERSHIP I GOT THIS SHITTY CAR FROM IS LANDMARK DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN MORROW, GA. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF CAR YOU WANT THEY ONLY WANT TO PUT YOU IN A NEW CAR. THEY SEND ME THOUSANDS OF FLYERS A YEAR TO TRADE MY CAR IN BUT WHEN I DO THEY DON'T WANT IT. I WAS JUST TOLD BY ANTOINE STRONG!

POWER TRAIN
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CALL WOULD STALL, LOSE POWER AND SIMPLY SHUT OFF. NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE, CITY HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADS. USUALLY AFTER 2 -3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WILL START AND PROCEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ONE TIME IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO TRY AND STOP, THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION THE SAME WHEN THE CAR IS NOT ON VERSES WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONE A SEPARATE OCCASION, IT STALLED ON THE CITY ROAD HEADED TO WORK, GOING UP A HILL AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM ON MANY REVIEW SITES FO THE CHRYLSER 200. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET SOME ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE, FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT???

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I HAVE EXPLAINED THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REFUSES TO DOCUMENT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAD SEALANTS MISSSING FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND SO IT HAD A LEAK THAT RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND ME HAVING TO FORCE THEM TO REPLACE MY CARPETING THEY LET SIT IN THE SUN FOR 2 WEEKS AND MOLD AND TO REPLACE PARTS IN MY CAR THAT THEY BROKE THE CLIPS ON TRYING TO FIND THE LEAK. SEVERAL TIMES THEY CALLED ME TO COME AND GET MY CAR WITH MOLD IN IT AND PARTS STILL HANGING. I HAD TO GET MANAGERS INVOLVED. I CAME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ONCE AND THEY SENT ME OUT ONTO THE STREET WITHOUT TIGHTENING THE LUGS AND I WAS WOBBLING DOWN THE STREET AND THEY LIED AND SAID THE PRESSURE WAS OFF BALANCE. ONCE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO OIL IT. THEY SAID IT'S LIKELY THE ENGINE. MY TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN SAYING ITS LOW SINCE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. SOON AS I PUT AIR IN, LESS THAN 24 HOURS ITS LOW. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS SOUNDED EXTREMELY LOUD. I HAD A THERMOMETER GO OUT BEFORE 3 YRS OLD. I BARELY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR RIGHT NOW. NOW MY CAR WOULDN'T STAY ON WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THURS. IT STALLED FOR A SECOND TO START UP THEN IT WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT CRANKED UP LIKE NORMAL, BUT THEN IT REFUSED TO SWITCH GEARS SAYING CHECK TRANSMISSION AND PARK SENSE AND TO PUT BACK IN PARK THEN SHIFT GEARS. AFTER THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY CHARGED TO CRANK. THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO GET A BOOST. MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON MENTIONING A THROTTLE SENSOR AND WATCHDOG PERFORMANCE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS MY BATTERY IS BAD. I AGAIN TOLD THEM MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T SENSING CORRECRTLY AND SWITCHING GEARS CUTS MY CAR OFF SOMETIMES. THE TECHNICIAN SAYS I NEED TO PAY $428 TO HAVE THEM REPLACE MY "BAD" BATTERY FIRST.

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT, TRANSMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD AND TWO MESSAGES STATED PERFORMANCE SHIFTING WAS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE CAME ACROSS SCREEN. VEHICLE DISPLAYED 4TH GEAR AT ALL TIMES, PLACED IT IN PARK, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AT FIRST, EVENTUALLY CAME OUT OF PARK AND WAS STILL DISPLAYING 4TH GEAR. ARMORY CHRYSLER DEALER IN UPSTATE NY STATED IT WAS ACTUALLY STUCK IN 2ND GEAR, THEY STATED THERE WERE STORED CODES, BUT WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THEY WERE. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT THAT IT WAS PROBABLY ELECTRICAL. STILL WAITING FOR DIAGNOSTICS FROM ARMORY CHRYSLER DEALER
